I'm having a bizarre issue with my Blackberry buttons.
My trackball presses "*#"
And several buttons on my keyboard press random letters.
I replaced the trackball, and cleaned under the keyboard.
But the problem only starts when its in my pocket, then wears of in 15 minutes.
I reset the software and updated everything.
Anyone have a idea or experiencing the same thing?
Try doing a wipe and OS reload if it persists.
But doesnt it seem like hardware if it only does it in my pocket?
Sounds like moisture damage.
Are you carrying the device in your pocket without a case? Sweating??
That's not a "glitch". That's user damage to the keypad contacts from moisture.
Yes silicon case, not sweating, and the wettest its been is a quick wipe down with a damp cloth
I have had that
Batt pull fixed it...

A "silicon" case doesn't protect the keypad. A damp cloth isn't a good idea.
The Curve 83xx series is VERY susceptible to moisture damage from high humidity environments.
I had this problem also. It only happened when I carried the phone in my pocket. (Not a sweat issue as it would happen even when I was indoors with AC on) I assume from being in my pocket and bending the buttons would become jammed or frozen from being pressed during movement. I have since then been using a belt case and have not had any problems. Hope this helps you.

I am having the same problem. When I click the trackball it dials *# then if I try to delete it, it dials 14. I took it to the sprint store and of course it starts working everytime. They said they would give me a replacement but every time I go in it won't do it and they need to actually see it doing it.
