There are many blackberry users complain about how their keyboard is going “nuts”. It starts typing uo, ur , hl, jk etc. That happens when the users try to press “Call”, “Menu”, trackball and “Escape”. This is also happening when they hit some of the letters. Sometimes, it fixed itself but it will come again in a few days. It is impossible to use Blackberry smart phones as essential work equipment if the problem occurs. We might not be the best blackberry review site on the Internet but we do have some suggestions that might work for you.

First, this could be caused by moist exposure. Even a wet hand could cause this problem. The common approach to solve this problem is you can try to pop the battery out, dry and clean it. The best method to dry it is by cover it with rice as rice has a high absorbance of moisture.

The second cause is that you unintentionally let AutoText change the key to those meaningless words. If that is the case, you can change the AutoText by going to Options > AutoText.

The last cause detected by us is because of the wrongly set Input Language. These three reasons is the most common when facing with the keyboard issue. To check whether this is what makes your blackberry acting weird, go to Option > Language and set the Input Language to whatever you prefer. For example, you would find it is accidentally set to Catala instead of English (US). This can happen easily if the ALT and CAP keys are pressed simultaneously.

This is what you will not see on other Blackberry review sites. Plug in the charging usb cable and leave it for the whole night. This overcharge magically fixes the problem for some blackberry owners. However, do not let your battery drain out until it turned off by itself because the issue will be back again. The solutions above might not work for you. Therefore, as a responsible blackberry review site, we suggest you to go for the last option. It will never go wrong to go to the dealer where you purchased it and claim the warranty.
