Lock icon keyboard blackBerry Smartphones disappeared off the coast of the home screen

The keyboard lock icon was on the home screen until I installed the updates that have been sent to me today on my BB.  Now that the icon has disappeared.  Check the Section help and could only know how to lock or unlock the screen manually.  Check the instruction booklet provided with it. again without help.  Searched through the BB Curve Demo Online - still nothing on the addition of the back icon.  It was so easy just push this button and not to worry about the keys in my pocket or your purse... How do I get it back?  If I'm not back I won't install updated any longer because I found that I got ro reset things like I wanted to... moving icons of folders to the homescreen etc... Please tell me there is a way to get this back... just bought this BB in June and a first I possessed and it is difficult to do without... HELP BEGINNERS please SO that SHE DID NOT feel LIKE SUCH a "dummy" LOL - thank you in advance for any advice that gives me!

Hi and welcome to the Forums!

Looks like you have updated to the point where the locking function changed. In older versions, you had an icon on the screen. In the latest versions, you use the power on top of the BB button do a keyboard lock. To get the icon back, you must activate a device password... then you will have an icon for Active password lock. How it works now, and the only way to change this is go back to a previous version, when the change was made.

Good luck!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones stuck on the home screen

    The system seems to be stuck on the "Home Screen" (the screen with the background image). You can hold down the blackberry button and it will bring up a menu where I can read my email and make calls (the trackball works here), but I can't choose anything on the home screen or the great list of icons.

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    Each time a random strange behavior or slow creeps, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    Best!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones calendar on the home screen

    I just replaced my curve with the new tour.  Love my curve and now I like the Tour.  On my curve, my menu from the home screen showed:

    Messages

    Calendar

    Call log

    Applications

    Is there a way to show my calendar on the home screen of my turn?  I was not able to find it if there is.  I really like to see my next appts/tasks in the order that they are coming.  As it is, my calendar appts just sound off that something is coming.

    Thanks for any input!

    Dave

    I think it was probably specific to the theme you were using on your curve.  You can check out some of the themes available for the tour as they will provide this feature.  On my tour, I use the standard 'Précision' theme that came with it and it doesn't have this ability... I found for the moment.

  • BlackBerry smartphones turn off the touch screen

    How can I disable my touch screen then on the phone?  Clearly, I'm not very saavy with my phone.

    Thank you!!

    Welcome to the forums, Laurabeth!

    Fozzy said, there is no adjustment with the native device software to disable the touch screen, but there are some app you can find in AppWorld to achieve this.

    Such an application (which I use) is TalkLock, and function, it's just that... locks, the touch screen while you are online.  There are other apps that you will find to lock your device that are more customizable than just the phone, but for your application (and mine), TalkLock would be the way to go... very simple app.  Just install it and it works!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones can set the home screen to display all icons and don't go into the Favorites, Media, downloads etc.?

    I just got a Bold 9780 and that's fine except that when I try to access the icon I want, I keep accidentally swipe the screen in a different position, he's going to 'All' in 'Favorites', 'Media', "downloads,"Frequent"then back to 'All'. My only previous, 9700, just had all the icons on the screen and did not have these alternative schemes. I find it quite disconcerting and want to fix to display ALL icons of all time. Cannot find how to do this.

    I know what you mean.  You can do this in OS7, but I think not only its available with OS6

    Hi DianeCosic,

    What operating system or version of Windows do you use?

    We would need to know that in order to help you better.  If you still see the desktop and My Documents on your Start menu, you should be able to recreate the shortcuts by right-clicking on them from there.

    In addition, if something has changed on your computer, you can do a system restore to a previous point before the show began.

    Please, let us know if we can help you.

    Thank you!

  • BlackBerry Z10 save on the home screen does not not after restoring

    Hello

    My Z10 was stolen last week, fortunately I did a backup of a few days before. I bought an other Z10 now restored my backup for it and everything seemed to go very smoothly. Until I tried to save a url from the browser to the home screen.

    The process seems to go normally, except that the icon never appears on the home screen. Savings in the form of bookmarks URL works, but I want to save some to the homescreen lke I used to be able to do.

    I met other Z10 owners who have the same problem after doing a restore and have not been able to find a solution.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    It works!

    Do you have a factory reset, restored my backup again and this time it worked. The only thing that was different was a new (released some time this afternoon) update link to BB.

    I don't know if re-restoration has fixed the problem or update link BB before the re - restore the fixed. Although my "instinct" is that the link BB update has solved, because all my "home screen" shortcuts also reappear (they were absent after the first attempt).

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Navigation bar is minimized on my home screen

    I managed my panels so the only that the poster is the Panel "All". However, when I go to my home screen, the 'All' Panel is is reduced to a minimum and I'm not able to see the 4 icons at the bottom of the home screen. If someone has had this problem and is anyone know how I can fix this (so I see the 4 icons at the bottom of the home screen)?

    Only four icons?  How about if I show you how to display icons of four, eight, twelve, sixteen or twenty?  We'll see how it's done.

    Place your finger on the word 'All' and drag it to the top of your screen until the desired number of the icons is present.  You can go anywhere between zero (where only the "very" is showing) up to twenty years, the maximum you will see without scrolling on-screen 9860.  Whatever number you choose must be the number that is always displayed when you switch on your phone in the future, but of course, you can change this number at any time using this same method.

    I hope that helps you.

  • BlackBerry smartphones disappear when the icons/folders/data of low power - how to recover?

    I bought a "BOLD" 6 days - my first smartphone - there to replace a 4 year old Nokia.

    The installer went well and I associated with several e-mail accounts in the phone.  All the seemend very well until this afternoon when the battery power has fallen sharply, low power icon came and then the screen went white and locked upward.  The phone was on but just sitting on my desk, when he does this.  The phone wouldn't stop or anything once the screen went white.  I plugged in the charger and it is now loaded.

    However, many of the icons on the home page and expanded home page disappeared - messages, all messaging files, browser, call log, etc.  I can't find them anywhere.  In addition, all the e-mail settings for the 4 accounts that have been implemented have disappeared as are all of the messages that had been saved.

    Backups of the messages so I am not concerned to retrieve their content in the phone itself.  However, how can I get the icons back so that I can access the features of the phone?  This is a common occurrence when the battery is low?  Everything seems to happen 40% white screen in 3 hours during which the phone was not on active service in terms of excessive electricity consumption.

    I can't find anything to help in the guide of the user or the site.  Thanks for your comments.

    Hello and welcome on the Blackberry Forums

    Please reset the unit, remove the battery for 30 seconds and install again.

  • BlackBerry smartphone App icons disappear from the home screen

    Hello

    I had to wipe my Priv, I typed the wrong password (when changed, I probably did not notice a mistake I made).

    Thanks to the backup, I extract all my applications.

    The problem is that I don't have the icons of the apps on my home screen once again, and I can't figure out how to do again.

    Any idea?

    Thank you

    Yes, if you never download a launcher, which should be BlackBerry Launcher. I hope that BlackBerry will hear you I mean maybe they will understand the home backup screen. :-)

  • BlackBerry Smartphone camera icon has disappeared from the home screen. How can I add it back?

    My camera icon has disappeared from all my screens.

    If I use the search function, I can locate and use it.

    Why can't I put the camera icon, press the button of my bb and have an option "add to home screen"?

    I think that 'reset all my icons"can solve the problem, but leaves me with a bunch of fun re-customization.

    Are there no better solution?

    Thank you very much!

    When I did it before, he has not yet shown on the list I think you should MENTION and I checked the properties to, somehow, and the 'hidden' checkbox was not checked.

    But when I tried it now, I see that it is a little different from what I had tried - it worked! Thank you!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Message indicator does not disappear from the home screen.

    I have the BB "BOLD" and I noticed that there is a small envelope with a 1 by him on the top of my home screen I read and deleted all my messages and it won't go away... What do I do? Thank you

    Hello and welcome to the Forums of Support BlackBerry.com.

    Try these options:

    • Hard Reset BlackBerry by holding ALT CAP (right Shift key) and DEL (or removing and reinserting the battery)
    • Messages > saved Messages
    • Messages > view folders, check each folder (calls, SMS and MMS, and boxes, saved missed boxes, browser, phone logs etc.)
    • Defiler, scroll to the top of the page of the message file, above the menu date heading, click or tap to MARK PRIOR OPEN
    • Change your theme and see if it persists and return to your desired theme. (Options > theme > select.)
    • Clean and reload your OS.
  • Icon blackBerry Smartphones Sound on the home page.

    I have my set storm to ring strong and it has an icon with the loud sound on the home page.  Anyway is taking this icon on the home page?

    While this answer is not really a big part of the solution, the answer is at the moment no, or at least not that I know (and I explored the phone long enough at this point).

    I have a feeling that future themes will give more flexibility with this, but until the new storm themes are created, there is no much we can do about it at this time.

    Sorry, that the news is not better in this regard!
