Is there a Number only input panel???

[danielalvers]

I'v have loaded BlackBerry Connect 4.0 and love the additional features but my company has BES policy to lock the device every 20 minutes.

This is not a big problem but requires me to use a stylus to tap in my password (which is numeric).

Is there a SIP Keyboard available that is only numeric and has fairly big buttons? I can then set that as my default keypad and enter my password using a finger.

i think you might be referring to this, although im not sure as i seem to have lost my secret decoder ring..

Thanks, installing it now.

Edit

Doesn't seem to work. It installed ok but when I select Phone Pad from the list it just drops back to Keyboard. I can't seem to get it to work. It looks like the right application so just a matter of trying to get it to work.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I installed it and it works just fine, did you soft reset after it installed?!? i dont remember if it does it automatically or not

[danielalvers]

Yep, the soft reset is required by the installer. Phone Pad shows up in the list of SIP items but selecting it just causes the input to drop back to keyboard.

Frustrating.

Thanks to everyone for you help. In desperation I did a hard reset, got Phone Pad to work, and then started putting my apps back one at a time.

All is now working nicely, thanks.

Not sure if it is related but last thing I did was install NetUse to permit access to my home network and Phone Pad again stopped working. I saw a report from someone else that mentioned Phone Pad just stopping after a few hours but I don't know if that is related.

I can't be bothered rebuilding my PDA again so I am just going to give up.

Use this program (sipchange).

Install and then select Phonepad as the default SIP.

Next time you softreset it will always select the PhonePad as the default input method.

Simple!

Nope, already tried that. It appears that Sipchange can't help you if you can't select Phone Pad in the first place.
