n6600 writes only numbers

5 replies · 1,996 views · Started 17 November 2004

I have a big problem. My phone was working fine until I had some apps installed. Since them the alphanumeric mode (the little pencil with abc on the top of the screen) disappeared and the phone only writes numbers.

When I open my gerneral phone settings I get the error message "App. closed gs"

Also when I log in I get the message "System error". I press ok, I log in but no letters, only numbers! I think it must be a corrupted system file but I don't know which one.

The apps I installed right before the problem occured are:
Simworks antivirus
Jukebox animal
Guitar tuner
SMS Fake
Talks for s60
CoMobi secure edition

The three last ones are the most suspected to be the cause of the problem.
I unistalled all the programs and restarted the system. The same problem occurs.

I read about users that have had the same problem but I saw no solution to their problems.

I need your help to solve this problem. All suggestions are welcome (note: I prefer not to format the phone because I had it formatted very recently)

Did you also happen to install WildSkinz and forgot about it? If so, then it is the reason for your trouble. You have to disable it, reboot, uninstall. If you've already uninstalled it without disabling it first, you have to reinstall, disable, etc.

Search for "WildSkinz" to find out more: http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/forum/search.php

I am aware of the many problems Wildskinz causes and I have never installed it on my n6600.

Maybe one of the apps I installed has a similar effect with WildSkinz. I was hoping you could help me find the corrupted system files and restore them.

i have the same problem. its really annoying me cos i cant't send texts or anything. also, i cant search for wildskin or nething becaus i cant type! plz help! i dnt want 2 format my fone cos then id lose all my pictures

It Looks like you have to format

but if you don t want to lose ur pics then just send them to your computer then format
