Storm keyboard codes/shortcuts?

[vcent]

im on .841 storm9500
i cant seem to get the event log out ....

what do you all mean by landscape mode and portrait mode ??

Two things please as I'm new here.

1) can you advise what you mean by pressing the BB key? do you mean options?

2) the recommended code to change the display doesn't work in version 5.0
Go into Portrait mode and be on the home screen.
BB key - Options
BB key - Show Keyboard
Hold Down the !?123 key and hit ! , " "

It's great how everyone helps each other.. so much appreciated in advance

Thanks

I know there is a code to do it on the Storm, b/c applications often call the function, as do aps specifically designed to do this like Quick Pull. Anyone know that code?

On the Tour it's:
alt+RightShift+del

haha... no.

10*log_10(linear_(power)_unit/ref_unit) -> dB

So... using your math skillz, negative numbers just mean values less than 1 Watt if your linear unit was based on watts... to be rid of uncertainty when the ref_unit = 1W, it is often written dBW... since there are no units attributed to the value displayed by BB, we don't know... It could also be dBm, which uses a ref unit of 1 mW. I don't really know what a logical value would be for cell phone signal power, so I can't say which it is.

Oh, and just to make this somewhat applicable to the thread... on the BB Tour the short cut is alt+NMLL

hmm.. mine is currently at -82... pretty crumby signal here I suppose.

Hi guys,
I hope someone can help me with this situation i have. I am using a Storm 9520 OS.741. I used to be able to bring up the event log menu by typing "/"/ but not anymore.

Could anyone tell me what I can do?

Thanks in Advance.

Does anyone know if something recent happened? Cause I can no longer get the keyboard option to show up on the home page anymore. I don't think it was an option I set a while back but I could be wrong.

Let add something. From the main screen, if I change the layout in options from 2 to 3 (or vise versa), and quickly go back to the main screen and hit the menu button, it takes a sec but the menu will show up and I can see "Show Keyboard" however no sooner do I see it it re-filters the list and removes the option.

What you need to do is go to options, go to screen/Keyboard, then change one of your convenience keys to virtual keyboard..... save then go to your portrait view home page and press and press the convenience key you set,and type in whatever shortcut that pleases you.... It took me forever too figure this out but now Im finally relieved .
