Guys, i dont know why, but the letter "m" became "n", on my Samsung i320. Even the symbol " ' " (apostrophe) located in the same key of the letter "m" (activated by pressing the key "Fn" then the key "m"), turned the damn "n". AND EVEN the number "9" (above the letter "n"), when using the "ABC" or "T9" Text Mode, became "n". Everything was fine before. I've always used the letter "m" without problem.

This happens on EVERY program i try (even the original SMS editing prog.). Tested ALL the other letters and they are OK. This happens on both "T9" and "ABC" text modes. Tryed some other T9 languages, reseted the phone many times, and nothing happend.

I installed/uninstalled many trials during the afternoon, and i noticed this "error" by the night. Maybe some program did this. Is there a log file in MS ActiveSync or in the phone where i can see what programs i have installed today?

Does anybody know how can i solve this?

Meanwhile, i'll have to change words when writing my SMS messages, to avoid the letter "m". Confused

First thing to try is power down and restart the phone.

It sounds to me like it might be thinking it's using a different keyboard. A reboot might fix that. Otherwise you could look around the registry, but I'm not 100% on what the correct value should be for the i320 - and I don't have mine any more. Confused

I found this in a registry dump that I ran on my old i320 - not sure if it will help any:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD]
"DriverName"="pxa27x_keypad_Us.dll"

This registry entry, on my phone, is exactly the same.

Now i'm going to follow your instructions and take an extra look around the registry.

Thanks.

Maybe a hard reset is in order. Sad
