    Hello everybody,

    I updated to 10.1.0.2312 yesterday. On the screen where you can
    enter your PIN I noticed a blue "ALT"-symbol at the top right corner.

    Does anybody know what this means?

    It is not normal.
    You should reinstall the update.
    If you enter the correct PIN, the Device starts or not?

    I have seen that ALT symbol too on the screen where you enter your password. I have never pressed it though. Don't know what it does.

    The alt symbol is just there to show your using an alternative keyboard

    It's a notification that you are using the alternative part of the keyboard. As in either numbers and such. It's normal and has been turned on in the last update.

    Thanks for the bad info. It is normal. It happens on screens where the particular app forces a different keyboard on you. It's just to warn you of that.

    I have seen this symbol twice, both times when having received 2 text images in a row, not using bbm mode, though only 1 image shows up in the conversation. There is a white banner across the top of the screen showing the name of the image I cannot see, and on top of that is the alt symbol as described above. It is an annoyance because I am unable to remove the banner with the image name on it, nor am I able to access the image it indicates.

    Clearly this should not be indicating that I am in typing mode when I am not.
