Motorola Xoom :: How To Turn Off Special Characters On Keyboard
Mar 23, 2012
I've had my xoom for quite some time now and this has bothered me from day one and I can't figure out how to make it stop. On the keyboard, if you hover ever so slightly too long over the "s" or the "e" or any number of letters on the keyboard the xoom changes that to a special character. How do you turn this blasted thing off. I NEVER use those, will NEVER need them and don't want the keyboard to do it.
I realize that by holding a key you get a set of special characters, but some are still missing, for example the apple logo and other weird ones i've seen on screenshots in the wallpaper thread. where do you view these and use them?secondly, emoticons - where do you gets these, how do you use them? is this something you select on Settings?
Normally on a PC you use the alt button and the numeric keys to put a certain mark on a letter I.e an accent sign on an e. How do I do that on my BB torch
i cannot see special characters like ä ï ë ü in my inbox.i also update ng firmware with the latest but nothing happened it is still the same that i cannot see special characters for the incoming messages.
Please see the last row of the keyboard.At your right end there is a control key which can mute the sound next to that " & " and " ' " are in the same key. but when i press that key dot " ." is coming next " ," (comma) is coming after that its written " ? " and " ( " but when i press " ` " is coming. Is there any problem in the mobile?
When I send mail through MfE, Swedish and other special characters do not reach the recipient, they are just ignored. No blanks or nothing. Every word with a Swedish character ends up one letter short.Before the firmware upgrade this was intermittent, happening only on about half of my mails.Now I upgraded yesterday, and it seems the problem is now permanent.Have seen similar posts from E75 and E90 owners, their problems seem to have been fixed by newer firmware.Our setup is: Exchange 2003, Portwise authentication.All other phone models work fine, like iPhone, E71 etc.
I'd like to cut to the chase and ask: how can I natively insert accented characters (á,à ,ç,ê and so on) while using the bluetooth keyboard? I've managed to do that by using the Swifkey X for tablets, which predicts words and inserts them automatically. However, it is nothing but a coincidence.
BT keyboard with touchpad. A keyboard is nice, but I would rather not drag a mouse around as well? I know that fruitpads have had problems with some of the keyboard touchpads. Do they work on Xoom w/Honeycomb?
So, I usually use Swiftkey, but their most recent updates are causing serious lag (or perhaps its the s6..I dunno)
Anyway, I used the Samsung stock keyboard and I'm pretty happy with it. However, I can't get past the fact that I cant long press a key to insert my shift-characters.
I've seen some people on youtube already have this on their keyboard. But mine doesnt? Does this have something to do with US-Keyboard vs International?
my keyboard on my phone will only let me type a j and a k once I press one of them, and the j key types a k and the k key types a j, none of the other buttons do anything when it happens and so I have to reboot, when it does it all over again, what shall I do?Also, the screen goes black after a while if I keep trying other buttons meaning I need to reboot again.
I seem to have this keyboard lag when typing in text box in the browser. So far I've tried this very forum, composing new message on gmail, and on Facebook.
I have noticed some interesting quirks and am hoping it is an issue of operator error.Some text input fields in web sessions force all uppercase letters and disable the backspace key when using the BT keyboard.While I type this with the famed MOT BT keyboard I had to copy and paste the text into the title in order to get lower case letters.Also, in this message field I am unable to type a nine or open parens but can type both in the title field. Also the arrow keys act like tab keys and will not move the cursor.It is especially frustrating as anytime I try to send a message in Facebook the keyboard forces all caps and disables the back button.Not good for someone like me that types 100WPM with 88 mistakes.
Also when I turn on my Miscrosoft BT 5000 mouse the keyboard starts to go nuts with repeating keys and constantly disconnecting.When I turn the moust off the keyboard is okay except for the issues listed above.
I have the Motorola Bluetooth keyboard and there seen to be a delay in the typing showing on the screen. mainly while in the browser. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a simple fix? Am I missing something? I do not remember this with 3.0.1 but I am not sure.
I'm typing the numerical web address for my media and noted there isn't a colon. i swear there was one before the 3.1 update. Is it gone, or is it so obvious i can't see it?
I have the Motorola keyboard and MS 5000 BT mouse. They each work well individually, however when used together, the keyboard frequently disconnects. When I go to a text field, the software/screen keyboard comes up instead of using the hardware keyboard. If hit a few keys on the hardware keyboard, then it seems to reconnect and I can continue using it. It disconnects again once I leave a text field. I'm using a 3G version of the Xoom, but without 3G activated, so just using WiFi.
I got a Wifi Xoom with 3.0.1 stock firmware (like if I could have it in any other version without voiding warranty) and I'm having some problems with my Moto BT keyboard. It connects well, pairs well, types well and without lag, but from time to time, when writing things longer than an URL or a login (for example an email) one of the letters typed repeats and repeats like holding it's key. It's quite annoying, and one of the times, the repeated key was backspace, so it erased all of the text.
Woke up this morning and hit the power button the xoom to wake it up and got nothing, just a black screen. Have tried the power button with volume up several times (and for way longer than 3 seconds) and am still not getting any sign of life.Last night before I put it into standby I was browsing the net over wifi. GPS was also turned on, battery left was good (around 90%) I plugged the charger in this morning thinking maybe battery had gone flat, charge indicator came on white, it is now green but still no sign of life.3g xoom, not rooted, stock firmware.
I powered down this morning (battery was still at about 30%) and plugged in the charger at work. After charging all morning, the indicator light is green. Tried to turn it on and...nothing.
I have tried holding the power button, holding the power button and volumn up at the same time, holding the power button and volumn down at the same time, taking out the sd card and trying all of the above again, and nothing!
It is plugged into the charger, has been all morning, and the indicator light is green. It stays green while I try to turn it on and...nothing.
I can't get my Xoom to turn on the backlight. I can see that everything else works, by using reflective light I can see enough to do some simple actions, like changing brightness settings, and accept the shutdown dialog.I have tried anything that I can think off; turning on and off automatic brightness, cold reset, and shutting down and restart.
There doesn't seem to be a hardware error. I managed to get it to work again for a while yesterday, but I haven't been able to repeat that today.
Does anyone have any idea on how to turn the backlight on?
