having trouble using multitap keyboard in find contact field

When I'm in contacts and in portrait mode using the multitap keyboard, it doesn't work. Sometimes it works and other times  I will tap twice and the third letter or first letter comes up - other times it works great. Is this a glich and where can I get the latest upgrade for the device and how do I install it?

Re: having trouble using multitap keyboard in find contact field

My paperwork on the device is at my office so unless I can find the model number right on the device I won't know till tomorrow. Doesn't the software get updated when you connect with the desktop manager software?

Options>About will give you the model number of your device.

 

There are two models because there are two carriers.  9500 is for Vodafone and 9530 is for Verizon.

So your upgraded OS will be the second link I gave you above to the 9530 OS.

 

Yes, you want to be connected to the USB to your PC at the time, following the instructions in that link.

Re: having trouble using multitap keyboard in find contact field

I am having the same problem.   I also have the latest software (not the leaked upgrade that some talk about - not tech savvy enough to download the leaked one - waiting for the BB announced upgrade).  Still does not work.  Someone posted here that BB will be fixing this problem in the next upgrade. Lets hope - or this thing is going back.  Very upset about this.
