Rubber for Play / Mute Button Broken? Here's the solution!

for the past two years I have been using the Blackberry Gemini Black 8520 for work. In the last few months, slowly but surely there has been damage to the rubber on the right side (to adjust the volume and buttons for taking pictures), then it immediately spreads to the left side (beside the slot for the charger), and finally attacks the top which is usually used for buttons. play / mute. We know that the function of the "mute" button is also to unlock when our Blackberry is locked (locked). For me who actively uses Blackberry every day, this condition is certainly a hassle. Especially for the use of the mute button, which is pressed very often to carry out the unlock function. Before getting the information (tips) that I will share below, I will look for any object that is near me to press the mute button. Sometimes use a motorcycle key, cover a pen, toothpick, or a tree branch. "Over time it can break the button too," I thought. How not to press it using a rubber protector made of sonony, maybe it's still safe ... this is using "foreign objects" that are not in accordance with the original setting ... logically the damage will be much faster. Replace rubber alias buy a new rubber protector, reportedly quite expensive, more than one hundred thousand. So I was a little upset ... hehe ... When I was half upset ... Saturday (7/6), I got valuable information from my brother. Incidentally he also had the same problem. Broken rubber protectors on the sides and top. Especially for the mute part, my brother has a way that I haven't thought of, namely by using the password function on his Blackberry ... Indeed, our Blackberry is no longer using the lock function, but our Blackberry is still safe from what I call "accidental push" because password function can simultaneously function like a lock button .. Here's how: Look for the Options menu then select the Password menu Change the password settings from Disabled to Enabled Enter a password (on the set password option); Enter the password we want, then repeat the verify new password option Number of Password Attempts: select numbers 3 to 10 (to be safe, enter the number 10 which means we can repeat up to 10 times if we enter the wrong password) Security Timeout: 1 minute - 1 hour ( time for BB to be locked automatically and we have to enter a password to activate it) * My suggestion: choose between 1 to 5 minutes * Other options choose NO Then press the BB symbol and select SAVE After that .... especially for those of us who are forgetful ... save our passwords in a safe place (just in case if you forget)
