new phone is a Z716bl phone. by ZTE

I entered 100 contacts in to the phone on monday , manually with key board and key pad on the screen, no problems what so ever.

to day I turn the phone on to enter a few more,
BUT no key board or key pad shows up on the screen.

a picture of a microphone appears and the phone wants me to talk to it and enter all the info verbally .

after talking to someone in a cubicle for 2 hours , they can not get the phone out of verbal command mode.

if anyone has some ideas how to get it back in to manual mode , I'd appreciate it greatly.

( My eyeglass people, and two friends could not figure it out either and they are ten times more adept , than I)

edit: the phone is not! talking to me, it wants me to enter the contact and texting information to it verbally,

and thats a problem

Find a kid to help you? They seem to be pretty tech savvy. Wink

But,seriously, maybe you can reset it to factory settings and start over. It stinks that you would have to re-enter the contact information. To put it lightly.

Throw the phone away and get an LG G6 like I did. I just inserted the sim card from my Samsung phone and put it in the new LG and it was a done deal. Smile

Don't know if it will help or not. Shut off phone, take battery out for a minute, replace battery and turn on phone.

This should always be your first step when your phone starts doing something it doesn't normally do, and you should do it every few days regardless, IMO.

If you load your contact list or sync it with Google, then you won't ever have to manually transfer that contact list again.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Battery may be like my iPhone non user removable.

suffice to say that the world is a much better place with SigForum in it and with DSgrouse on the forum.

I still have all my hair, there are no holes in the wall or in my head and I don't have to go to any confessions.

the is on his way to saint hood if he keeps going this way

thank you sincerely
