[Q] Alt and caps locks aren't working? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I noticed that caps locks and alt isnt working. ):
Help please? can i fix it through settings?
I'm not rooted or anything.
when I press alt/ capslock while texting, the blinking cursor will have that arrow either at the bottom or the top to let know that you pressed alt/capslock, but when I press (ex. alt) and i want to use (quotations) I press the botton with the question mark and it should turn out to be a quotation but it doesnt. it shows up as a question mark.

no one? ):

I had the same problem. I did a soft reset & it works now.

Keyboard on SPV-M2000

Can anyone direct me to a site that gives some instruction on how the keyboard works. I would basically like to know how to switch to other symbols (like numbers etc) without having to hold down one key while pressing another.
Thanks

You don't have to hold down the button. Just press 'Fn' once and then press the other character you're after. Alternatively if you press 'Fn' twice it locks on, pressing it twice again returns to normal letters etc.

i780 flashing - enter and function key?

Yesterday I bought a i780 and now I am trying to flash a WM6.1 image. My problem is the maybe simplest step.
I cant get to the "detect" screen on t he phone. I have no idea which is the "function key". Following the instructions I pressed Enter and the Shift key on the Left side of the keyboard. Holded it together with the power button. But my mobile just starts up as usual.
When I press and hold the Red and Green (Take call, Drop call) button together with the power button, I get to a format screen. In this screen Mirage dont gives me any response.
Help

It's the white and black key; the one that lets you choose numbers on the keyboard (the one directly opposite to the enter key).

AE button plus - question

Hi,
I have the following problem with AE Button plus with my Touch HD.
I had the problem with closing the phone during i was taking it out of my pocket.
I installed AE Button plus and assigned only to the Red button a function. All is OK, when the phone is ringing the Red button is not working, but the problem is, that when i pick up, it is not working again and i have to end the call with the touch screen button and it is very annoying.Is it possible this Red button function to work only up to the moment i have answered and after that to have normal button functionallity?
PS. Sorry for my bad English!
AE Button Plus - please help
Please, help me with the above issue!
Thanks in advance!
why is it annoying to use the touch screen to end the call?
I would suggest to leave alone the single click of red button but instead map a double click function you want to the red button.
I've had this problem previously. I love AEBPlus and think it is probably the best app on the phone. You need to uncheck the option under 'other options' for 'drop on red key'. Paradoxically this should not be checked. When checked I cannot drop on red key but when unchecked I can end call using this hardway end key. Let me know how you get on!
The AE Button Plus didn't seem to work on my Blackstone (HD). It would work after being reset but after a while, the mapping has no effect anymore. I want to map the volume up/down button to "Up/Down Arrow" and the Long Press of the Volume Up button to run the S2U2 application. Anyone has similar issues?
I have problems with AEButton too. I assign "volume up" to turn display on/off at one click. Sometimes, it works. Sometimes, it brings up the voume control. Annoying.

That is exactly my problem. I should not have paid for the software if I knew that it works intermittently.
Do you have some taskbar installed? Try to remove.

touch screen out? no SOFT KEYS?

Soooo I had to call tmobile warranty. My touch on the my screen no longer works. But what I find crazy is that for this to be a phone that is not just ALL touch im starting to wonder why even have a keyboard or am i just dumb? I cannot press send on a text if i want to send a message. I cannot even save a number 2 my contacts. With out the touch screen am I just SOL till my new phone comes in the mail? I can make phone calls my opening up the keyboard and using the arrow keys. But the limitations with this phone and no touch screen are ridiculous.
Just wondering am I not able to do NOTHING while my touch screen is out? If anything I want to send text messages and I cannot even do that. Any help? PLEASE ASAP THANKS! CED
so 20 people gladly view my post and out of the 20 no replies...wow
in your inbox for mms/text, press and hold H for a list of keyboard shortcuts. Press OK to get out of that list. press and hold key for desired shortcut. They are listed below:

But unfortunately, I can't figure out how to actually get the message to send once creating and typing it. Maybe you will have better luck.
Edit: actually you can use front facing buttonto get to start menu then use arrokeys and enter to navigate to (start->settings->personal->buttons), then you can set your ppt button or other button to left softkey and send that way... to get to set the button, use down arrow to get to the button you want,then right arrow once to highlight the "assign a program:" field, hit enter to expand that field, then scroll up or down with arrows to get to the <left softkey> (its at/near the top of the list), then hit enter and "OK" your way out of it. I'm assuming the version of the phone you have has the OK shortcut. You may need to soft reset afterwards, but should be good to go at that point.

The shortcuts are the same for his device, but you may have forgotten that the TMo version is unique in that it has no PTT button, no OK button (the enter key works fine to get rid of the shortcut box, however), and the Start button is actually a Home button. you could install tarkim's key remapper and set a hard key to the left soft button, but I haven't used this in a while and it may require some touch input.
Also, I use ZoomBarPlus which makes the zoombar function as a d-pad with up/down, action, and back keys. If you follow the instructions on the thread, you can omit the inbox from the default action and have ZoomBar work with it.
If these don't do it for you, then just wait it out for a couple of days. TMo sends these replacements out very quickly.
Thanks a lot !! worked like charm !!
Im from India , a place where TP2 is not released ( Can you believe that ?? ) , Hence no service for it..
So checking out some new mobiles or will wait for Q1 of 2011 ..

Why does my physical keyboard stop functioning?

From time to time the physical keyboard stops responding. None of the buttons work, not even the search, menu, home, and back buttons. The touch buttons do work. The only way I have found to fix is to reboot the phone.
I have exactly the same problem from time to time. Normally after unlocking the phone. It seems if I leave it for a while (locked) it does start working again, but a reboot does fix it always.
okay, my keyboard is still functioning, but I choose to post here instead of making a new thread for my concern is also keyboard based.
Does everyone have uses the ALT key for entering numbers consecutively? I also do but quite a pain because unlike the SHIFT key, when I press it twice, it toggles CAPS LOCK, my ALT key does not toggle 2nf functions (blue keys) only when I double press. Is this normal? should I type fast to be able to get 2nd functions consecutively? thanks

My alt key enters a blue key on the first press(one time), double pressing the alt key toggles blue keys instead of regular keys.
On my phone pressing Alt twice locks it and you can tell because the cursor changes. There are a couple of combinations. You can Alt lock and Shift lock at the same time. Again the cursor changes to show this.
Mine doesn't. I see the cursor change, but if i press a key or two, it will turn off the toggle....geeze and it's not defenitely a hw issue...
But if i toggle the alt key, i can type blue characters but i need to be fast..
EDIT: I think I have solved the issue now....I replaced my onscreen/virtual keyboard by the default one.....and now I can type 1234567890 without pain....I installed a 3rd party keyboard and think that triggers the issue. If someone could replicate, that will be appreciated. Thanks for everything.
