BlackBerry smartphone keyboard lock missing

Just upgraded to 5.0 and keyboard lock is missing. Shortcut as well as the convenience keys. Does anyone have a solution for this short of reinstalling the old software?

I don't know if you would say that a bug in the OS or glitch or what, but...

If you have a defined password then you can always lock the device with 'K '.

    I have restored my BB Curve and the first restore point, IE: when I got it. Unfortunately this did not restore the original software for the keyboard lock is still missing.

  • BlackBerry Smartphone keyboard lock icon disappeared (curve 8520)

    Hello

    I have recently supported a Blackberry Curve 8520 - I noticed that, once I had connected to my PC via Blackberry Desktop Manager, the icon for the keyboard lock has been removed from the menu.  I looked in the obvious places in the Options to try to restore the icon but can't see anywhere that allow me to ths.  I was also looking for hidden objects, but nothing seems more to be hidden.

    Is it possible to restore the icon?

    Thank you all.

    You may update the software? The lock has changed in the latest versions of the software in all areas for the devices.

  • BlackBerry smartphone keyboard lock forgot password

    Phone was originally a working phone, now personal.  But initially set up to change the keyboard locking every 90 days and have 6 attempts.  Work is implemented with BES so that they cannot help?

    For the first time, I changed the keyboard lock code and now can't remember.  He have used 5 of 6 attempts and I am now on the last attempt,

    I can't lose all my data.  Is there anyway on this earth to reset the keypad lock, or get more than 6 attempts.  I'm desperate

    There is no way to reset the password or a backdoor to the password. It must simply retain it.

    If you have made a backup of your data, you can restore it to the device once he wipes on the 10th entry of incorrect password.

    Are you sure that you do not know the password of all... no idea? Or maybe you have just entered the password incorrectly known? Often users with more than one digit in their password will only press the ALT key to the first digit and not those who follow, so for example, if your password "1234", you could put pressure on 'Alt 1234 "on the device, making the real password to be"1st".

    Who is? It sounds familiar to your use?

    In order to verify the manner in which you enter your password on the device... do you think that you enter several numbers, but in fact are not?

  • BlackBerry smartphone keyboard locks when you use the media player

    Hello

    I use the built-in Media Player to listen to the MP3, while I'm working.

    Because I am constantly moving away from my Office I must pause and start the music quite often.

    Sometimes the keyboard will lock everything playing, and I would like to avoid this. As I know the "BOLD" is not an option to automatically block the keyboard.

    Please can someone advise how can I stop this?

    Thank you

    Hi guys,.

    Thank you both for your responses.

    I managed to find a solution to my problem, so I thought I would post, not only for the benefit of third parties, but because I thought it was funny when I realized what was causing the keyboard lock.

    When I have my BB out on my desk, I put on the case. I noticed the other day it was light as soon as I picked it up and goes dark as soon as I put it down.

    I checked for password, settings etc. of the screen and couldn't work on what was going on.

    Then I realized, because I rely on the case in the same way that he would lie if it was in the Holster, the magnets (I think there are magnets in the Holster?) were lining up at the BB and she believed that it was inside the case.

    Solution: I know put on the case, but turned around 90 degrees so its cross-cutting installation. Solved :-)

  • BlackBerry smartphone keyboard Lock GONE after update? What, no locking keyboard?

    That's right, a nightmare come true. I did the "necessary" updates last night and now my BB has NO available keyboard lock. What should I do? Anyone?

    Nightmare? Really?

    (This was reported of dozens of times already)

    Your previous lock icon is now only enabled when you have set a password on the device.

    If you have not set a password on the 85xx you can press on and hold the mute (on the upper part of the unit) to lock the keyboard. Or, you can press and hold down the a button * to lock.

    When you set a password, then your icon will return to the screen and is called Password Lock.

    Sweet dreams!

  • BlackBerry Smartphone keyboard lock

    I just bought a Blackberry 9800 in my company for his personal use. I find that that's what I think is called a "IT lock" on this subject. I can't remove the blocking the activation/deactivation is blocked. My company say that they can help the account is dead. How can I remove this lock feature? I get a letter from the company stating that I have the phobic quite legitimately.

    I can't seem to access to all Blackberry at all that they would be able to help I know.

    Can someone tell me how to unlock the phone or how to get I touch with someone to Blackberry who could do?

    Thank you

  • BlackBerry Smartphones how lock missing Blackberry

    My blackberry was absent yesterday PIN is one does not 2557BEC8 someone can how to locate my lack on BIS, 8320, or put then one who stole it can't use the phone... and I already have contact my mobile phone seller, they say to ask help from this forum coz they can't stop...

    Hello

    Access your site from the BIS and kill all e-mail accounts.

    Send service directories.

    If you know the NGE still better.

    (if you still have the ESN box is printed on it).

    Call the carrier and give them two numbers and make sure they isolate it and your sim card from your account.

    Ask the carrier if they report stolen BB PIN, they are unique, but I don't know what the carrier has done with her.

    Obtain a report on insurance policy. That's all I know to do. If all goes well, other will have more information.

    That good luck!

  • BlackBerry smartphone Password Lock/keyboard Lock on Blackberry 8520

    So I have updated my curve to the new version 5. I noticed that there wasn't any more keyboard Lock/Password Lock. My previous software, it was named keyboard lock and I put it as one of my convenience keys. After the update, I noticed that he had ceased to exist. A friend of mine bought a new Curve 8520 with the update already installed of course. She had the locking of the keyboard, but he was named Password Lock instead. I have been looking for ways to get this feature to my Blackberry because I think it's more practical, rather than the button ' silent mode / mute "located on the top of my unit. The shortcut to lock my phone which is the 'A' on my keyboard quickly "locks" my keyboard only. I would like the feature set to be blocked if.

    Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

    The keypad lock is the A"" key. To unlock press on and hold the Mute button on top of your Bay for at least half a second. If you set a password under Options/Security, a new padlock icon appears. This can be set to a touch of comfort.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones cannot lock the phone through blackberry ID

    Hello

    I take a phone of my coleague who has left the company. For some reason, I can't able to connect on the phone. Firstly I didn't at first, the password of my coleague ex, I went online and changed the password. However, when I want to connect with my new password to unlock the phone, I have this message:

    "You have exceeded the number of attempts to connect.

    For security reasons, you have been locked for 15 minutes. "Click on forgotten password if you need create a new password.

    But after 15 minutes and try again, the message... helpppp

    You try the BlackBerryID, or the security password, on the device?

    It looks like the BlackBerryID if you are locked out for 15 minutes.

    A wrong entered security password would give you only a message something like «wrong password 2/10»

    Then, to change the BBID of this device and make it 'your own' device, you'll need to do a wipe of the device security. This will delete all the data in personal, contacts, calendar, etc. and restore the State of the plant basically.
