i600 Stuck on Number Entry Only

[Guest ldanger7]

My i600's * button doesn't change the input type. It is currently stuck in the numbers only option. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Currently I am not able to enter any text when I am not connected to a cpu, this is very frustrating!

Thanks in advance,

L

Yep, hold the * key down

I'm having the same problem. Holding * does not help at all. The input mode indicator is completely missing.

Try creating a new contact. When you chane to different fields, the input method should change from ABC to 123 appropriately. If this does not work then I would suggest a HARD RESET, the mother of all fixes. Sounds like something is corrupted.

sounds like the udb file containing t9 and some other bits has become 'corrupted' maybe another 600 owner would email his udb file so you can try out swapping them.

(based on the fact that when i played with the udb file, i was only able to use numbers until i restored the backup i made)

I meant corrupt. :)

Replacing it didn't work so I deleted the T9 UDB and rebooted the phone. A semi-hard reset occurred (default home screen and sounds, etc.) occurred and the abc and t9 modes are back and all my apps still work. Thanks for the suggestion! :)

interesting i'll log that in the memory banks to help others!

Good to see it sorted the problem out!
