Texting Punctuation shortcut not working
Marillian

I had the forced upgrade last week (HATE IT!!).  I used to be able to hold the period key for a second and bring up the punctuation keyboard.  Phone will no longer do that.  If I press the period and hold, I get a grey box and cannot select anything.  I cleared the cache, but no luck.  Keyboard is set to multifunction, not swype.

 

Can this be fixed or do I have to do it the long way?

 

Thanks.

Go to the Market and download a keyboard replacement app. All of them are MUCH better than the stock keyboard, most are free, and all have better layouts and customizations for which keys do what.

Yea, I see a similar "bug" .. When I long-press the "." the punctuation "keyboard" pops up, but I can only scroll the top row ... I don't seem to be able to get to the bottom row of that pop-up ...  but I am in fact getting more than just a greyed-out punctuaton keyboard.  strange.  bug.

Smart Keyboard Pro is great. They have a trial version available to see if it works for you first.
