Hi,
Somehow the keyboard has changed to the style were there are less keys, and each key has multiple letters on them.
Now I cannot type in my password to unlock the phone because it is not part of the first letters.
Can you please urgently inform me how to:
a) revert the keyboard back to normal version without having to unlock the handset
b) how I select a letter that is not first on the reduced keyboard.
How can this s/w spontaneously change keyboard modes?!

Hi
I don't understand at all what you are talking about (especially "each key has multiple letters on them")...
Can you send a screenshot?
Anyway if you are blocked I guess you just need to restart your phone (remove the battery if you can't)

a) Just swipe your finger from right to left across the keyboard a few times to get back the qwerty keyboard. I'm assuming you did not change the default settings to your swipe shortcuts.
b) After pressing a button, the first alphabet will show on the input screen. And right below there, you can see all the possible alphabets in smaller fonts. You can then change the first alphabet to any of the other 2 by pressing the one you need (Assuming you are in T9 mode).

As we all know, franklin marshall jackets are in high quality, they are all made in comfortable material. What’s more, the price of franklin marshall t-shirts are very reasonable. Most people can afford it.
