Default Wierd ABC symbol won't go away - 11-02-2008, 10:49 AM

Blackberry users,
I have a pearl. In the top right corner of my screen, there is a ABC symbol that's covering my battery meter. I have done tech support with my carrier (verizon), and had the techs physically look at it. They cannot fix this odd glitch, and the phone is no longer under warranty. Has anyone had this problem?

Sometimes, if I go into a message, hit reply, and punch the caps lock on and off many times, it goes away for a short while, but it always returns.

Any ideas?

Cheers
Reid Belstock

Welcome to the forums.

That means you have Multi-Tap enabled. Compose an email and put your cursor in the body of the email. Press the Menu button (left of trackball) and click Enable SureType.

It is the fix. And unfortunately, techs who don't specialize in BlackBerry devices (or who haven't used them), don't always know this stuff. That's why we're here
