How to disable auto-capitalization after a period? - General Topics

every time i type a period, it wants to capitalize the next word, i disabled the option not to capitalize but obviously there are settings in windows that don't do a damn thing and appear to be there for no reason, why is the option there if it doesn't work!
anyone know how to i stop it from capitalizing? wm 6.1

You went to settings -> input -> options?
Maybe it needs a reset as well.

I also have been unable to turn off capitalization at the start of a sentence.. the setting start>settings>input>options>checkbox:capitalize first letter.. makes no difference - soft reset after change tried (wm6) really annoying..

ditto, I always wonder how to do this since I always type japanese so it is a little annoy for me

i gave up on this... searched and searched.. apparently no one else seems to be annoyed by this, otherwise we'd probably have a workaround.
i'll look more when i get time.

Stop auto-capitalization

I can't find how to disable the auto-capitalization of first word ?
Under WM5 It's Start -> Settings -> Input -> Options -> untick 'Capitalize first letter of sentance'
I'm pretty sure from memory that WM 2003 was much the same.
Unselecting 'capitalize first letter of sentence' has no effect, at least on my device. I wonder why because I only have the default input method of wm5 ?
A search on the forum, make me see that some other user had a problem with auto-capitalization (but no solution):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...highlight=Capitalize+first+letter+of+sentence
this 'capitalize first letter of sentence' option is really not working.
I just tried on a fresh new wm5 image (on a TyTN, a Wizard and the PocketPC emulator), and the option has NO effect. It is always auto-capitalized.
Gajet, does disabling auto-capitalization work for you ?
Doesn't work on my Charmer too. I'm using the input Word recognition.
D'oh.
I was very happy when I wandered by this post, but it didn't work for me, either.
I have the new 2.26 T-Mobile ROM, and all sorts of things aren't working, though. >_<
So I am happy to see I am not the only one as this thing is driving me mad.
Maybe this option triggers a registry key change that is not done properly done by WM5.
Are there any people that know where is this regestry key to force the 'capitalize first letter of sentence' to DISABLED ?
Sorry for slow reply. For me the option works under Word and notes, however I do notice that adding a new entry in my calendar will continue to be capitalised.
So I think it is dependany on the application being used. What is it giving you most headache?
Personally I like the auto-capitals so I'd never noticed an issue.

sorry... couldn't resist it...

Gajet, for me the option as no effect whatever software I am in.

Fuze on-screen keyboards

Hey, this is only my second post here. I kinda feel like a leech since all I ever do is look around and try to gain some knowledge for myself.
But I was hoping nobody would mind and maybe try for some help.
Anyways, I tried doing some searching through the forums but couldn't find anything on this.
About a week or two ago I just updated my fuze to the htc 5.11.502.2 rom.
Besides the stupid problem of texts not getting marked read I have found another weird little problem.
My on screen keyboards are a little messed up.
When I goto "Phone Keypad" (whether it be for SMS or anything else) it brings up the keypad and looks how it is supposed to. Although whenever I click a button to try and spell something out... well it does not give me a letter at all, just the number associated with that button.
Then if I goto select my "compact qwerty" keyboard it does the same thing. brings up the keyboard and i see the letters, but whenever I hit a letter it types a number instead.
then sometimes it will actually show the numbers... but the "ABC" box will be greyed out and i wont be able to select it.
yeah i know i suck for using the htc roms, but i never really wanted to put the effort into looking for a custom rom, there are so many choices i didn't even bother looking. i would have gone crazy because there are so many choices and i am a very indecisive person.
so anyways. do i have to hard reset? or is there some quick fix i can do?

Any Way to stay in keypad mode during call?

My screen goes crazy. During a call up to my ear it flips to horizontal, changes out of key pad view and not always to mute/speakerphone... keys view, sometimes to contact info, and can be a nightmare to get back to "end call." I've found times when the caller hung up but the TP2 put them on hold and kept my time going.
Any programs and or reg hacks to:
1) stop the horizontal flip when placed to an ear, and
2) keep it in keypad mode or general call mode?
Real pain when dialing into a system that requires keypad responses. Everytime I put it back to my ear I have to go through a crazy sequence to get back to the key pad.
This is my only complaint wth this phone, it's not easy to use as a phone!
Thanks.
I have the same problem when dialing into VM, or into any call queue. I looked through the registry a bit. Didn't see anything obviously labeled.
yeah me too. Only thing I could find was using Gyrators' exception list to not rotate the phone, but it wasnt 100% reliable. I would *LOVE* to find a way to stay in keypad mode too.
Hi All - I guess I'm just jumping on the bandwagon but I have the same issue and find it annoying. I loaded the 'incall screen tweak' but that didn't work. Any help more seasoned members than I could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!!!
I had the same issue too, whenever I put my phone up to my ear (left handed) it would go into landscape. The fix is simple but you have to edit a registry setting. I'm going by memory here, so please forgive the vague info
1) make sure to backup your reg info
2) using your favorite reg edit program, goto
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\Whitelist
3) now this is the part I kind of forgot, you need to find a string with the DATA value that includes "phone" or "dailer"
4) delete that string
5)soft reset and give it a try, the phone shouldn't go into landscape whenever you turn it during a call.

OK, I went where you said, but no dialer, and only phone entry is:
Phone/Lock/Compose/Picture
String= Dialog
And deleting this stopped "lefty" in call flipping? Doesn't make sense to me. Doesn't seem to only control dialer or phone.
Please confirm or anyone out there please help. I don't want to delete something don't understand.
Can I simple change Dialog to something like "Zero" or "0"?

That's it! forgot what the process name was, but yeah, deleting that stopped the phone from trying to change to landscape during a phone call. Deleting that will tell the G-Sensor not to change the orientation of the phone's screen during a phone call, however it also tells it not to change the orientation during a picture (which wasn't a big deal for me cuz I can change it when I view them in windows). You can always look up the process in google or even the forum search tool if you're still scared.
If anyone else is interested I tried a "partial" delete of the suggestion above. I created a new string leaving out the Phone.
Lock/Compose/Picture
String= Dialog
deleted old string with phone/....
So far no more "lefty" crazy problems, and pictures seem to appear in landscape.
Here's hoping all is OK!

Awesome, good job!
I installed Gyrator 2. Just create a new event with the phone as the application. Nothing for orientation, nothing on stylus, and rotate screen for actions. Then promote the event to the top. Highlight your new phone event and select orientation, it will have a check mark and a number one next to the event. It hasn't failed on me yet and I use the key pad all day long with my job!
I just upgraded to the Verizon official WinMo 6.5 and the registry hack doesn't seem to work anymore, and I'm having issues getting Gyrator to work, has anyone resolved this issue for WinMo 6.5?

I haven't had any of the issues with the 6.5 upgrade that were mentioned with 6.1. Haven't needed to add S2U2 since the screen lock is built in and the phone is much more responsive when placed to the ear and then moved away to access the keypad. It's not perfect but vastly improved over 6.1...
I guess my point is try it the way it is with 6.5 and see if you thinks its better. leave gyrator and reg hacks aside for a few.

confused on screen keyboard

heres a question for yall.... my fuze has a keyboard issue. for awhile i was not able to use the t9 when it came to txt entery but then it progressed into an issue were i can no longer use the alpha part of the keyboard. for example lets say the user is going to type in an address all that would come out are numbers. so personally i am kinda lost i have never had this happen before so i am open to all suggestions
-rastlin
Hello Rastlin,
I had the same issue. Do you have "Diamond Tweak" installed on your device? For me, I had that program installed and had "T9 always on" checked. This is when I started to experience your issue. After turning things on and off and tweaking settings, I found that checking/unchecking that mode affected the keyboard. If this program doesn't apply to you then I don't know of any other solution.

Disable predictive-like text thing

Posted this in HD2 general, might not have been the right section as no-one seems to be paying any attention, and I really want to sort this!
May be a stupid question, I've searched my phone and the net and couldn't find anything, though I'm not sure what I should be searching for anyway.
I'm hoping someone can tell me how to disable the box of words that pops up when typing something, trying to predict what you might be trying to say.
I'm sure it's only been showing up recently, possibly since I installed an application or something, as I don't remember it being there when I first got the phone, otherwise I would have asked this question by now.
I've attached an example of what I'm talking about.
I've tried going into Text Input Settings and enabling / disabling Spell Correction, Word Completion (XT9) and Word Complection (ABC) (all off at the moment) but it doesn't seem to make any difference, and it's really bugging me!
Any help would be really appreciated!
disabling those options and resetting the device does the trick for me.....
btw what kind of keyboard are you using there?
also you have an "options" when selecting the keyboard input, in that opting menu you need to disable them there too.
I've tried a number of different combinations of settings and resetting the phone in between, just doesn't seem to pay attention to the settings.
Also think there's something weird going on as the XT9 and ABC doesn't make any difference when using the normal keyboards, it no longer has the XT9 style text prediction instead of this blocky word suggestion. Though I don't care about the missing XT9 mode, I just want to hide this.
Also, I'm using Swype keyboard, which was installed after this happened in the hope it would hide the word suggestion, but no such luck
Anyone? Anything?
Really want to sort this, but need assistance!
Try going to HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip. If you have the key 'suggwords', change it from 4 to 0. You may need to soft reset. There are many other settings that can be tweaked in there as well. You could just change 4 to 2, so the suggestion panel doesn't take up as much real estate. Still, it will occasionally obscure a control, which is annoying.
Perfect! That's exactly what I wanted.
I knew someone would know!
Many thanks.
