View Full Version : Keyboard related question ("." key not working)

8th August 2008, 09:38 AM
I recently updated to "WM6.1 080408 Final For Excalibur WWE with English - By Kavana." I have noticed that when I press and hold the "." key it does not display ":" as it's supposed to, instead it just shows "." All the other keys work fine. In order for me to use ":" I need to first press the "alt" key and then the "." key.
I would like to know if anybody else has experienced this. And if there anything I can do to fix it. I think I went over the first 30 pages in this forum and I didn't see anything about this. Sorry if this question has been asked before.

im gonna have to disagree...i tried what the OP said and the same is true on my phone running ricky's v.24
they keyboard layout is fine..its just that when you hold down . waiting for : it never happens. instead you get a bunch of periods (depending how long you hold the button)

Gixxum,
Mine works all i did was remove the .cab and all my keys work, posted @ thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397723&page=7
I origianly had the eT9.cab then installed the Tegic eT9.cab, removed both with SKTools and sudenly all my keys worked including after a reboot.

I had deleted the .cab file a while ago, just using Windows Explorer, and still have the problem. I'll try re-installing and then using SKTools, perhaps that will change things.

I tried uninstalling the cab and rebooting, but that didn't fix the problem. When the cab is not installed, none of the keys work when you hold them. I just installed the cab back.

Have to admit i had to restore phone last night with Spb back up to b4 got keys working and now i'm in the same pedicament, tryed the uninstall .cab no result, must have been a fluke in the order i did things. :(
