Found out a undocumented key combination that will lock the keyboard in number/symbol mode, just press the <dot> key at the lower left coner twice follows by the <caps lock> key.

Use the same combination to turn it off.

hi jShun,

thanks for sharing...

Don't get it.

Oop! I didn't notice that the keys are not displayed in some browsers, shouldn't have use characters that conflict with HTML formatting...

The combination should be - press the 'dot' key at the lower left coner twice follows by the 'Caps Lock' key, :)

Still don't get it, BTW i'm using O2 mini.

am using dopod 838 and didnt get it too. where's the dot key?

If you are using a mini, you don't have a keybroad so you won't see the different. As jShun has indictaed, it is for Dopod 838.

Cheers

It's the big red dot at the lower left coner, below the Shift/Cap key, the key that temporary switch the keyboard to symbol input.

Anyone knows what is the name of that key?

zzzzz!!!!! 838 is a phone model?

lol not clear enough, i thought he was saying type 838 to number lock

hi Smartboy4,

838 refers to the Dopod 838, which is the HTC Wizard...its a Phone Edition device model...

yeah thought it was about number locking the device.

for dopod 838, you can also press the CAP button 2x to change the typing to be all in uppercase.

I have tried juse press <dot> key twice, and it will lock in number/symbol mode. don't need the <caps lock>.
