Trackball button and 'back' button type letters when pressed

Pressing the trackball down on my blackberry now types the letters 'uo' rather than selecting whatever message or icon I'm hovering over. Pressing the 'back' button beside the trackball types the letters 'hl' rather than returning me to the previous screen. Not sure how this happened--any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Best!

How do I make a custom Forward button and Back button?

I've got an almost completely custom theme and it's working great with one exception: The forward and back buttons (used to move between menu pages) are from the original theme I based mine on, and they are now white on white = invisible.
I tried showing package contents and completely replacing the two images in the Forward button folder, but when I return to iDVD and reapply the theme, there is no change.
Thanks,
ck

A further note: They seem to be the one button type that you can't select. Even in editing (non-preview) mode, if you click on them, they route you to the appropriate page. So there's no way (apparently) to select them and change their color.
In case you're curious how I saw them to click them, I just took some lucky guesses. They appear while pressed on, and they also appear if you cursor to them in Preview mode using arrow keys or the virtual-remote window.

* If the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down, that should make the Menu bar appear (Firefox 3.6 on Windows) (see [[Menu bar is missing]]).
* Make sure that you have the ''Navigation Toolbar'' and other toolbars visible: View > Toolbars .

I can not get the phone to turn back on. My email had been blinking off so I tried turning it off. After holding down top button and bottom button it the apple sign came up then went out as it has before when I have approached it this way. But now no go.

My phone is dead it will not turn back on after taking a step I have used in the past when I have had issues with the phone. In the past I haeld the top button and the button on the face down and it will turn black then the apple sign comes up then off. I can then turn it back on and it seems to be reset and all is good not so today. It will not turn back on.

1. Plug phone into AC adaptor and charge for at least 30 minutes
2. If not on, reset phone: press both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
If no reponse to above, there is hardware damage and you need to take it to Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your country.

In Firefox 3.6.10 I was able to go forward and backwards between pages without the page defaulting to the top of the page. Is there any way to prevent the page from automatically moving to the top when using the forwards and back buttons in Firefox Four?

I like to be able to navigate backwards and forwards without having to scroll down and find where I was previously. In Firefox Four, when using the forwards and back buttons, the page will automatically return to the top of the page. Is there any way to change this setting in Firefox Four to prevent it from doing that?

Thanks for the response. No Time Machine, but I probably have a backup from a few months ago on an external hard drive. :/ I guess it'd have useful history, but not if it overwrote the last 3 months or so of Awesome Bar, that might not be so great.

My Droid DNA's home, back, and app buttons no longer work or react when pressed. This happened randomly when I was using the phone Saturday afternoon and have since no longer worked. Can anything be done?

This is the second major problem I have had with this phone (first was the SIM card issue where I had no service because the software of the phone wouldn't read the SIM card, has been fixed by an update I downloaded in December).
I really would like to know what my options are, and if I am eligible to get a new phone. This has been by far the worst phone I have ever experienced and am disappointed that I am forced into a two year contract with a phone that has consistently failed me. I am a college kid who is going through job/phone interviews and it is very important that I can rely on my personal phone.

callahan.214,
If the home and back buttons are not working it has to be difficult to use the phone. Let's get that device working. Back up your phone and complete a reset: http://vz.to/1uBz20R . Before installing any applications test out the phone for a day to ensure it is working properly. Let us know how it is working.

How do you use forward and back button on mouse and use "zoom" in web browser.

Ok so apparently this forum is ruled with an iron fist or something my very honest and truthful problems with these issues seem to have been instantly deleted in my last discussion?
I'll try this once more.
1) How do you use the forward and back button on a mouse without having to buy a product like Steer Mouse? There must be a way to do this without having to buy a program given it's such a useful feature that 99% of users need. I don't want to spend hours researching something that should already work. Any advice?
2) How do you zoom in for web browsers like Chrome without it globally zooming in everything on the monitor (even background applications). I don't want to zoom in background applications. I want to be able to zoom in the web browser and still maintain all the features like the side bar, not just a little magnifying glass type thing.
I'm currently zooming in with the CTRL-Middle Mouse button, but I can't find a way to use this feature so it's useful to browse the web it seems to not scale the browser correctly but rather is a global zoom. Any solution for this?

Thanks so much!
Like I said I am new to Apple products so it's still unclear to me which programs I do or don't need as I'm setting up and configuring all my software and devices.
The Logitech Control Center appears to work perfectly for what I was trying to do!
I accidently clicked "This helped me" instead of "This Solved My Question", sorry about that this was a solve!

Updated to 3.0 - sluggish responses and "back" button no longer working?

Hi all, first post - I'd like to know if others are having similar experiences after upgrading to 3.0 on a 2nd gen ipod touch.
First off, when playing music, the "back" button always used to take me back to the previous song if the current song had only just started. However, now when I press "back", I get a random song, just like pressing "forward" in shuffle mode - so I cannot go back to re-rate a song for example. I want my "back" button back!
Second, does anyone else find the responses to the "forward" and "back" buttons slow? There's like a half-second delay while the ipod "thinks" about performing the action, and before the screen updates (scrolls to the next album cover or details screen).
Hoping there will be an official update ASAP to address these issues!

Anytime you have problems like this, you should go through this routine:
1. Restart your iPod - Hold the Sleep/Wake button down until you see the red slider - turn it off. To turn it back on, use the Sleep/Wake button and you will see an Apple icon as it restarts.
2. Reset your iPod - Hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home buttons down together until you see an Apple logo (takes about 10 seconds). Let your iPod restart.
3. And finally, if those don't work for you, restore your iPod in iTunes. Everything will be wiped off and reloaded - and no, you won't lose anything.
BTW, broken WiFi seems to be a very individual problem and there appear to be some work arounds. Battery life doesn't seem to be a general issue but again, an individual problem.

I have lost the use of the 'forward' and 'back' button

On Win 7 I have lost the use of the forward and back button - both are greyed out - except on this page ??? when I leave this page the greyed out appears on all tabs or links in use. I am using Firefox 3.6.16. To get to this page I have 7 tabs open at present and all ( except this one - odd! ) are greyed out.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Forward and back Buttons

I am trying to find a way to display a forward and back
button in my generated Flashhelp so i can easily return to the
previous topic when clicking through hyperlinks. I cannot for the
life of me figure out if i can do it or if a need a programmer to
do it?

Welcome to our community, Kate
This aspect would require changes to the skin files. Those
changes would need to occur in the ActionScripting embedded in the
Flash files. So the answer to whether you would need a programmer
is that you need someone that understands how to edit Adobe Flash
content.
Cheers... Rick

My iPod 5 screen is black the camera will make the clicking sound when pushing the home button and sleep button at the same time but the s teen stays black !! I hope someone can help

I have an iPod 5. The screen is black, I tried charging it. It makes a bing when I plug it in so power is going to it. When I hold the sleep button and home button to use the camera it takes a pic although the screen stays black the sound is there. I hope someone can help me !!!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How do I use edge commons composition loader to load multiple compositions with a next and back button?

I am working on an interactive book and have set up each page as a separate composition in edge.
I am using the edge commons JS library to load multiple compositions into a main composition.
You can see how this works here: Edge Commons - Extension Library for Edge Animate and Edge Reflow | EdgeDocks.com
The way the edge commons tutorial is set up requires a button for each composition i want to load. I am interested in loading multiple compositions with a "next" and "back" button, and a "swipe left, "swipe right" gesture on the content symbol that each composition is loaded into. I also need the swipe features on the content symbol not to interfere with the interactive elements on the loaded composition.
Please suggest a solution that will work without adding additional scripts beyond edge commons and jquery.

Sort of. I'm using this code inside an action for a button symbol. But it doesn't work perfectly. Trying to debug it.
Let me know if you have any luck.

Problems with Next and Back Buttons ActionScript 3.0

Hi,
I have set up a Back, Play and Next buttons in a slideshow I am making. The next and back buttons work correctly until it gets to the end.
If I press the Next button it goes back to what appears to be Frame 1 and will not go to the next slide. If I press the Back button it will then go to Frame 201 and If I press next again it will go to Frame 1. It will only go back and forth in between those frames.
If I press the Back button from the beginning it goes through the slide show correctly then it gets stuck at Frame 1. If I press next button it goes to Frame 121 and gets stuck in between 121 and 1.
I can't figure this out please help.
My code on Frame 1 is:
stop();
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playslideshow);
function playslideshow(event:MouseEvent) { gotoAndPlay(2); }
forward_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_2);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_2(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(40);
back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_8);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_8(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(281);
My code on Frame 40 is:
forward_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_7);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_7(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(121);
back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_9);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_9(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(1);
My code on Frame 121 is:
forward_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_3);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_3(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(201);
back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_10);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_10(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(40);
My code on Frame 201 is:
forward_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_4);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_4(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(281);
back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_11);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_11(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(121);
My code on Frame 281 is:
forward_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_5);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_5(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(1);
back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_12);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_12(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(201);

I found the solution! Flash CS5 Tutorial 6 Click On Button Go To Another Frame.avi - YouTube
I had to Convert to Keyframes each frames I wanted to jump to on the buttons layer. Then highlight the button and give each another instance name! Like forward1_btn, forward2_btn, back1_btn, back2_btn... I did that and adjusted the action-script for each button.
Frame 1
stop();
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playslideshow);
function playslideshow(event:MouseEvent)
gotoAndPlay(2);
forward1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Shoot_1);
function Shoot_1(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(40);
back1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Back_1);
function Back_1(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(281);
Frame 40
forward2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Shoot_2);
function Shoot_2(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(121);
back5_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Back_5);
function Back_5(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(1);
And so on...

HT201263 When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds. While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained. Whats wrong

When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds. While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained. Whats wrong?

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Connect the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes. Try placing in Recovery mode if necessary to restore.
- If you can't turn the iPod completely off, let the batter fully drain. After charging for at lerast anhour try again
- If still not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I was messing with the computer, not sure what i hit but now all my toolbars at the top of the screen are gone? (file, edit, history, tools and my forward and back button). Please help me get these settings back to the way they were?

My file, edit, view, history, bookmarks, tools, and help buttons at the top of the screen are gone, along with my forward and back button.

For details of how to restore it, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/menu+bar+is+missing
Once the menu bar is restored, you can use the Toolbars entry in the View menu to restore other toolbars such as the navigation toolbar.
