Katana II: my keypad doesn't work.

CHECKING KEYPAD OPERATION
A rapidly blinking LED over one of the keys of the keypad (or sometimes a "dead" keypad/console)
To determine if the control or keypad is faulty, do the following test:
1. Unplug dishwasher or disconnect power.
2. Open the dishwasher door.
3. Open console and disconnect the keypad ribbon connection from the control (at P1).
Make sure all other connections are made.
4. Put console back together. Do not close the dishwasher door.
5. Plug in dishwasher or reconnect power.
6. Wait 5 seconds.
7. Close dishwasher door.
8. Monitor the control's response:
If the control is OK (no longer sees shorts with the keypad unplugged),
it will respond by turning on a Drain Motor for 2 minutes.
Check and/or replace the keypad if the control responds OK.
If the control is not OK (still sees shorts with the keypad unplugged),
then the drain motor will NOT respond and will remain off.
If no response, replace the control.

yes because you got it wet were the charger port is

if you are using a new katana you can either memorize or write down teh button sequence to navigate to the bluetooth settings that need to be changed for the data transfer to occur. thats what i had to do with mine after i ran it over with a snow plow. phone still works just no display... and its in two pieces. it took about an hour to get it all right, but it should work.

The Katana II is a good durable phone and well priced, has a 21 Mb internal memory but, does not sport a memory card slot. It is not a GSM phone and therefore does not utilize a SIM card. So the answer is no. You can, however, download your data to a computer from a memory card such as a SIM, SD, Micro SD, Memory Stick (Sony), XD, or CF using software tools, the proper USB cable, and a Digital Concepts 6 slot card reader or the like, and then upload them to your Katana II. The only limitation is the size of the internal memory. If I did not work at a cell repair shop with all the goodies available, I would take it to a service store and pay the pros. It can get a little tricky.

periodically I'm able to hear incoming calls, but they can't hear me.

I've tried hitting the mute button? What's up

Friend, Check the flex connection from the keypad interface then clean the board or the doom with pencil eraser

The answer is no.

Six months is well under the manufacturer warranty. Call Sprint or take it into a store.

Unfortunately it will not work. TMobile uses GSM technology while Sprint is on CDMA.

PULL BATTERY SET OVER HEAT VENT FOR A COUPLE DAYS OR USE A BLOW DRYER.NEVER USE ALCOHOL,IT WILL DAMAGE DIFFERENT TYPES OF COATINGS.FIND A SAFE SOLVENT.I USE MISTY ELECTRONICS CLEANER.DO NOT KEEP POWER CYCLING PHONE UNTIL YOU HAVE FINISHED.BE VERY CAREFUL TAKING APART.
GOOD DAY
