BlackBerry keypad lock Smartphones vs sleep?

Can someone explain what's the difference between the locking of the keyboard and the day before on the curve 8520?  I searched the site and they both seem to do the same.  What is the best to use?  Or am I missing the blindingly obvious here.  No explanation received with gratitude.

Standby mode puts mode low power that saves the batteries.

Keyboard lock locks just orders.

If you put it in the Holster, it doesn't matter because the magnet it automatically in standby mode. If you are he skates 'non-Holster' in your pocket in standby mode will not only avoid pressure on the keys, but should save battery.

  • Smartphones blackBerry - no locking of the keyboard help

    Hello

    I just updated my software for the v50.0.862 (Platform 5.1.0.175) and now I don't have a keypad lock icon.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you very much

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    If I recall, you have upgraded to the point where the locking functions have changed. Now, the real keyboard lock is the button locking real on the side or on the device... but this is simply a keypad lock and committed is no longer the password (if you have one). If you assign a device password and wish to lock with the password until the expiration time has been reached, you must use the "Password lock" icon which should be on your BB (look around and turn on "Show all" or "Show Hidden").

    Good luck!

    Hello
    When exactly the problem occur?
     
    Follow the steps below and check if that helps.
     
    Step 1:
     
    Test the issue in safe mode and check if the keyboard is blocked.
     
    Step 2:
     
    If your computer very well in Safe Mode functions, you can put your system to boot and check if any third party or any service application is causing the problem and therefore the computer to freeze.
     
    Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you can go ahead and disable or uninstall the same.
     
    Once the system is in a clean boot state, check if the computer continues to block or not.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones in sleep mode no longer works since the update to v5.0.0.1036 & keyboard lock works differently

    Hi all

    Hope you are able to help me with my problem

    I updated my Blackberry Curve 8900 over the weekend to

    v5.0.0.1036(Platform 5.2.0.104) provider is Vodafone.de

    This update was offered when connecting my device to BlackBerry Desktop Application.

    After this update is completed successfully, I discovered the problem the upper top right (usually used for mute) button does not send my camera in standby mode more when you press more than 3 seconds.

    This feature worked perfectly before this update. Unfortunately, I didn't know what version I was before, but as I do updates on more than less regular basis, I guess it was available previously.

    With this problem, I discovered something that works as different as before.

    When I press on the locking of the keyboard (upper left top button) button the lock is now enabled directly and

    the screen goes black. Before this update took place the owner details appeared when pressing this button and the display dims after the set time turns off.

    The details of the owner are correctly added and appear when you go to properties-owner.

    I made a secure deletion (security options - remove security) unit and started from scratch twice already, but the problem remains the same.

    Is it possible to get at least the day before running again.

    I m using a case-mate case with built in battery I want to reboot my BB when no plug is available. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a magnet which send the device to sleep automatically when plugged in the case, so this manual standby option is important for me to

    extend the life of the battery.

    Forward to your response.

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards

    Of course, you can ask that... the most effective thing would be to go through your service provider for their support and to make this request. RIM/BlackBerry will listen to the questions and some of them (I think) much more than a user, that the carrier has more weight and shoot.

    I'll add that... This change in characteristics were made from last March, in ALL the operating systems for all devices... and has been included in all since. And then that there was much complaining about this function since then and during that period it have upgraded the OS in all areas, I don't think he'll change - in the next version for sure, or after. There's a reason any, they did this step in this direction.

    But the call of your carrier is the best way to make your voice heard, I think.

    There are two methods for recovering for you to try:

    One:

    • Open Blackberry Desktop Software & connect your device with the PC using the USB cable, without inserting the battery.
    • You have three Retry option, update or cancel, and then click Update.
    • Once it is at the stage of the "initialization of pocket" update, then insert the batteries.
    • If this does not work, and you get stuck on the safeguarding of social data feeds, go to the second method below.

    Second:

    New Blackberry owner here.  I don't see anywhere in the manual (or parameters) how to "lock" screen when you use do not (so as to not buttons pushed when I put it in my pocket). I prefer not having to wait at the minimum 10 seconds for the screen to turn off - and even in this case, I do not know how to walk AWAY from it.  A lot of 'butt dialing' and launch apps when I don't want him!
    Please let me know how manually to "lock" screen.
    Thank you

    If I remember, it has a lock button on the top of the unit.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry curve locked

    Hi, my daughter just got a Blackberry curve.  Last night, she tried to enroll in BBM put some personal details.  The phone told him failed to save and a sign please wait appeared.  His phone is now locked and is not allowing it to use the keys or to unlock his phone.  Any ideas?  Thank you.

    Perform a simple reboot on the BlackBerry this way: with smart BlackBerry poweredphone, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most defects and errors of operating system, and you will lose any data on the device doing so.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones new Blackberry Torch lock

    I bought my Blackberry Torch 7 hours ago a local ATT store and since I turned it on, it has locked up on me eight times.  I read some of the reviews where people have said that this may be a problem.  Is there a fix because I really like this BB, but I need it to be reliable.

    I found the problem with the phone lock.  It wasn't the password and locking feature.  For a reason that my phone did not like that I put a memory card of 8 GB in it with more than 5 GB of data on it.  I deleted most of the data on the card and did a hard reboot the phone worked without problems all day and not lock up.

  • Emergency stop of Smartphones blackBerry during locking

    OK, I need help.  I got my phone locked with a password.  Then this kid I know approached and hit a few buttons on my phone, l ' turn off.  He knows almost nothing about BB, just a few tips family member showed him.  How can I do it myself, for later use, and how can I avoid this?

    The only way I can think to do that would be to hold down the power button for a few seconds. It will work even when it is locked. The only way I know is maybe locking the device, and then put the machine to sleep. I just tested this, and while in standby I can press the power button and I do not get the prompt that the device is about to be turned off. I can only exit standby pressing the standby key
