- My space/zero key has a mind of its own! Some times it works the first time I hit it others I get the double space . Thing. Not sure if its the keypad or software issue. Want to call tmo for a replacement cause phone calls with a zero, my area code 407 needs it. Any suggestions?

If that doesn't solve your problem, and it probably won't in this case, you can do a harder reset by taking out the battery with the phone on. Leave it out for about 30 seconds. Put it back. Among other things, that will force a rebuild of the indexes and reload the operating system into contiguous memory and may fix the problem.
NOTE: When you pull the battery, there is a very slight risk of corrupting your OS, resulting in your having to wipe / reload your device. Be sure to perform a backup before the battery pull. If you can resolve your problem by a soft reset, Alt-R.Shft-Del, you should. You should only pull the battery if the phone is locked up, or you can't soft reset, or soft reset doesn't solve the problem.08-24-08 12:34 PMLike 0 - Well I don't have full keyboard so I use softreset software for my pearl. This issue has been ongoing for about a week. No water or drops. Battery pulls and resets don't help. And it happens more when I want the zero then with a space. Waiting on tmo to call back so I can see if a store replacement would work cause I can't wait for mail since my wife won't be able to talk and will use the
BB to type everything after her surgery Tues. I should have done something about this before now but ... I think the 8 n b button is acting funny too. Took 5 pushes to get funny typed.
