Keys locked It started the other day. I went golfing and my phone was in my pocket; then I got a call but when I answered it there was nothing. The keys didn't work when I tried to call them back. the next day it was a little better most of the keys worked. after all day in my pocket at work they all stopped working again. now I got nothing!! I have removed the battery, tried cooling the phone down, left it off for a while, and nothing has worked. I have some very important information on my phone!! (important to me anyway) Is there anything else anyone can suggest? I carry insurance on the phone and can get it replaced for $50 but I still need to get the numbers n data off it.

I don't think I have ever seen it on a corded phone but other Siemens portable phones have a button one can push (typically, one needs to hold the button down for a second or two) which locks the keyboard so that nothing can be done except answer calls until the keyboard is unlocked again (this is primarily to avoid accidentally depressing buttons while the phone is in a pocket which is why I would not expect to see it on a corded phone). Look over the keys and see if any of them have an icon like a lock or key (mine has an icon like a skeleton key) -- if so, try holding it down for a bit and see if anything changes (like a message saying "unlocked").

1. Do all lights, accessories, central locking system etc in the car all operate normally.

2. Have you tested to see if the car starts when you try jump starting from another vehicle.

3. What warning lights were displaying on the vehicle a day or 2 before you had the problem.

4. Were you having the same starting problems with the old battery that you have just replaced.

Switch ignition ON. Insert key to be programmed into driver's door lock. Lock vehicle manually. Press lock or unlock button. Wait at least 1 second. Press lock or unlock button again. Vehicle horn sounds to indicate correct programming. Keys can also be programmed using diagnostic equipment.
NOTE: A maximum of 4 keys can be programmed.

Maybe fuse number 6 is blown (check lefthand side of steerning wheel where all teh fuses are located - you must open the door)

Unfortunately, on that model there is not an option to lock your side keys. (and one of your side keys is a camera key) Your best bet is to buy a case and keep it in that while it's in your pocket or purse.

There really is only one answer to your troubles...you need to call a locksmith, it's gonna cost a few dollars, but it's the best way to get in......or, depending on how busy your police departments are, they have been known, in some locations, to help people get thier keys out.

Good luck, I hope this helps you.

take the phone and have the flexcable replaced...this would correct the issue you are presently having.

We took out the battery and tried to charge the phone with only the SIM card and it started up for some reason.  This helped for a few days and then went out again.  If you have your emei number on your phone on back of battery, it might be under warranty and you can get it fixed through motorola.
