Roslyn! Not being smart re this! Do you have Talks or other speech programme? Occasionally when I encounter a problem with my phone where it is not say Talks related I go to the store, or equivalent, to ask them to sort it for me! Occasionally they may not want to know but usually they are good! Off peak times to go in to them I think is good! I surely definitely get it sorted! Keep those questions aa-going on this list as for sure I'm)contrary to opinion I'm not always that knowledgeable contrary to all opinion) not yet perfexct! <smile> Regards, Tony ----- Original Message ----- From: Roslyn Allman To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, June 12, 2009 6:14 PM Subject: [vip_students] Re: Attention Joan-Ann - Mobile Phone Query Hi Tony, Yeah I have talks. The problem was that I used to be able to go into a contact and pressing the centre button on the phone scroll through the information e.g. first name, last name, mobile, telephone, etc. When I'd get to mobile, for example, I used to arrow right through the number if I needed to retrieve it. Now my phone won't do this. There is another way of retrieving the number, I was just trying to figure out why my original way wouldn't work anymore.

I don't use that phone but there has to be a solution! Usually when I get a new phone say with using Talks I can work it out pretty well! Try all the options, going through all of the menus! Take your time and you should get there! Do you have Talks?

This is the most problematic thing I've had to deal with on my phone. I've gotten resolutions to all my other problems via this list. There is another way I can do what I'm trying to do. I just can't figure out why this way won't work anymore when it used to. I haven't resolved this yet. I live in Portarlington. There is a phone shop here but it is not one of the bigger ones and I don't think they are particularly experienced with talks.

Yeah I have it set to character.

If that is the case you would probably want to turn your phone on its side but that would be awkward for using the keypad. However if it is turned off, particularly for visually impaired users it stops Talks getting somewhat confused at times. I just thought that might have been another idea to try and resolve your problem. Did you manage to resolve it roslyn? Did you ensure that you had not reverted the cursor to original mode and that it was on character so that you could move across the contacts fields. I trust you know how to do this. You press Talks key and then hold down the number two for a few seconds. It will say somethng like Word. If you do not want word at a time press Talks key again and long press number 2 on the keypad and it will say either original or character. There are the 3 positions. You want character. Let me know if you are still stuck and we can try and think of something else.

I couldn't find the exact setting on my phone. What does screen rotation do? Roslyn ----- Original Message ----- From: ELEANOR BURKE To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, June 07, 2009 1:43 PM Subject: [vip_students] Attention Joan-Ann - Mobile Phone Query hi Joan-Anne I am wondering if you ever resoved your problem re contacts. In case not please try this also. Go to the menu, Tools, Settings, General, Display, then down to Screen Rotation. You will probably find this is set to auto. Press the square joypad to change it, and turn it off. Back out of the settings. Note on my N96 I had to go from General to Profiles to display but I am sure you will be able to work around this on your particular model of phone Joan-Anne.
