Hello, all,
I do hope this finds you well.
I am new to this site and of course did some heavy searching before posting this to the forums--I read through forum posts that seem to concern this, and found nothing.
So I have a Cingular 8525 still running WM5--waiting on an official release of 6--basically it's at factory default right now except for registry hacks to turn off the start up sound and change the ActiveSync device name, and give it the default phone skin.
Having said that... All day today, my phone has not wanted to let me dial numbers from the keyboard when in the phone application which is the best way for me to do it, I've found--as opposed to using the jog wheel or joystick thinig...
It will however, let me text just fine, or write e mail or whatever I need to do. When I go into the phone application the only way to dial a number is with the jog wheel, or through the contacts list--I cannot use the keyboard as one normally can once one is in phone mode.
However, if I hit the function key which usually changes to numbers for when you're texting and the like I can dial. So it seems like that even though the sliding keyboard is out and I am quite clearly in the phone application ready to dial a number that my phone is not so willing and ready to let me dial that number via the keypad.
I tried a couple of hard resets to fix this, since I didn't have data to lose just now and because I didn't know if I had accidentally done something bad in the registry. But I'm going to assume it's nothing I've done and some setting under the phone since it's just not working no matter what I do.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Shanda
