Hi everyone, problem with my new bold.
It is brand new from carrier, I unlocked it and upgraded to newer OS, recently I am having issue with keyboard.
for example
Hit "del", it types in "JK" instead of del
Hit "space", it types in "MN"
The problem happen quit often, sometimes works fine, sometimes not.
It is brand new BOLD, and what could be the problem?
hardware issue or software issue? Any idea?
cheers.
Try wiping out the device with jlcmdr and reload the os.

you mean use MML to wipe it out?
so you think most likely it is software issue? if you could, pls send me some instruction..
Just return it since its a new device. Its under warranty. Don't waste your time trying to figure out the problem and running into problems. I strongly suggest you do not wipe your device.

i know, but the problem is that I already unlock it, so there is no warranty.
I need to find a way to fix it.
If you unlocked it via your carrier (which I'm sure you did), you should not have any problems returning it.

BTW I doubt unlocking your device voids your warranty but I could be wrong?

It does not void your warranty to unlock your phone. You are permitted to do it 90 days into your contract.
Take it back, dont even mention you unlocked it. Let them figure it out for themselves.
I wonder...is there a way to "re-lock" a phone?
my carrier is Rogers, they don't provide unlock code any more. also states that any unlock phone will void warranty.
anyway, anyone has the same issue and what could be the root cause?
this is the THIRD TIME i had this ******* problem...getting my 4th replacement from att...im very happy to see someone else is having the issue...i just made a vid..enjoy!

edit: this is NOT an os issue..if anything its a low level firmware (is there such a thing "higher"?) or hardware issue..i have had this happen several times with several different os loads...in my video you see os 5.0.0.100....
WTF is wrong with this blackberry?!?!? when nov 4th rolls around ill need to replace it for good cause my warranty will be shot and this problem is NOT going away...
