  1. Punctuation marks problem


    On the keyboard, I can't type punctuation marks. When I try to write, for example, a long "i" it writes two dashes and then the letter. Here is an example: ´´i. I tried reinstalling the language in windows and reconnected the keyboard multiple times. Also, earlier, when I powered on the computer, punctuation matks were working, but after few second it stopped working. Did someone encountered this? I would really appreciate some tips or direct help from support. * Moved from Community Center

  2. Text Prediction and punctuation marks [N97]

    Thanks guys for your posts!



    @The_Funkateer

    If you imagine that the same word is automatically saved to the custom dictionary but with various punctuation marks at the end - you have the answer.

    You can notice that always the last used punctuation mark is used.

    And sometimes when you insert a word and a punctuation mark and you use * you will see that a totally different word with the same punctuation may appear (if the word has the same combination of keys).

    I suppose and I think I'm right that N95 treats "word + punctuation" as a completely new word and moreover the phone saves it automatically and secretly to the custom dictionary even if we don't want them to be saved.

    @chanchan05

    Sure, but it has nothing in common with the beta version of Custom Dict.

    In my case the Dict works as expected.

    It just helped me to discover what is on the list of my custom words and I was really shocked to see over 2000 words (each word repeated several times with different punctuations at the end).

    You can make tests to notice what happens every time when you are writing a message.

    Insert a word, add a punctuation and use * several times.

    Then use the Custom Dict app to edit the list of custom words.



    @foxmeister

    Thanks for the info.

    As I can see you are now using the N900.

    Does it work better in N900?

    Punctuation problem


    Since the upgrade to Windows 10 I've been having a problem with punctuation marks in gmail. Specifically, question marks are being substituted for quotation marks and apostrophes, and maybe others. Any ideas why this is happening?
    TIA,

    Bob

    Text Prediction and punctuation marks [N97]

    Hi!



    I've been using 6310i for a veeery long time Punctuation marks problem :)

    Recently I decided to buy N97.

    And I have a question concerning the Text Prediction feature.

    Very often when I insert a word I'd like to use one of punctuation marks. For example a comma or a full stop.

    So after my desired predictive text is inserted I use the "1" button.

    And if the punctuation mark is not what I want, e.g. a comma appears and I want a full stop then I press the * button repeatedly to get a desired punctuation mark.

    Recently I installed Custom Dictionary application from Nokia Beta Labs.

    And when I edited a list of all custom words that have been added I was surprised to see that there were a lot of words with commas, full-stops, question marks at the end of exactly the same words.

    So I made some tests.

    It seems that when you insert a desired word and you use the "1" button to insert a punctuation mark and then you use * - the words is automatically saved to the custom dictionary with this punctuation mark at the end.

    Do you think this is intentional or maybe I am using the feature incorrectly?
