I have Galaxy 2 that froze, warned about something that wasn't responding (elsewhere I think this is called a formed shutdown), when it rebooted the keyboard is stuck on "3X4" Old-school candybar/flip phone style keyboard.
The settings/gear icon is disabled or also froze.
Since I only get * when I type something for the password, I don't even know if it's possible to enter an all alpha password when in this mode. If this was like my older cells, I'd just hit the 2 key repeatedly to select A,B,C or 2 but that doesnt seem to be working

Anyone familiar with this problem?
