Help! My phone's got it's own delete brain...

[Guest Spanky]

I was typing a message on my E200 earlier today when my backspace button went into overdrive :shock: . Basically, everytime I press the backspace, it keeps on deleting characters until I press another key. This doesn't just happen when typing messages, but in any place where I type things (calendar, contacts, etc.). I've tried the obvious rebooting and removing the battery, but to no avail. Also, the button doesn't seem to be damaged in any way, so I don't think it's sticking.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be causing it, and how I can stop it?

Thanks!

Have a look in SettingsAccessibility and change multipress timeout to 1/2 second.

If that fails then you may have a sticking button (not an actual visible problem but internal one)

Thanks for the advice, but it still has the problem no matter what the auto-repeat is set to. I guess I'm going to have to take it into the Orange shop!

You shouldn't have any trouble getting a replacement, since it's a known software fault.
