How to get lowercase character after . in PR1.2?
 

If the cursor's in a text box and there is nothing in there, or if it's after the space after a period, I cannot make the damn thing do a lower case character, except by writing two of them, then cursoring back and deleting the caps

To reproduce:

Write this in a text, excluding the "" marks
"HELLO. "

that a period followed by a space at the end

Now how do you insert a lower case character? If you press w, it inserts W, it you tap shift, it still inserts W, if you hold shift.. it inserts W

No,there isn't a way, it's very annoying.

For example, when writing a text message such as "This world cup... it's a bit rubbish", the "i" in "it's" first appears as a captial so I then have to type "Ii" and delete the capitalised letter. In effect I have to type I-I-left-delete-right when I'd be happier pressing shift then I as I know the keyboard has now switched into "uppercase" mode so there should be a way to force it back into lowercase mode.

Been meaning to file a bug for this for some days now.

Press Shift twice to enter the CAPS lock mode, now keeping the Shift pressed, press W - it should type the lower case "w"

Or turn off the auto-complete, auto-capitalization stuff in your phone settings.

Bug #10898 opened - vote for it if this annoys you.

No, that doesn't work - you still get a capital W. Even though CAPS LOCK is enabled and then disabled (three presses of the SHIFT key in total) the next letter is still a capital, which is clearly wrong.

Yes, that would work (probably, haven't tried it) but auto capitalisation is a useful feature so it should be improved rather than disabled. :)

Maybe it also should read your thoughts and convert them to SMSs? how computer can understand if you finished the sentence with "..." or it's just a middle of it?
So it's okay and it's like on other phones or any place. just turn that thing off and use caps fro capitals letters.

Doublepress shft to lock caps, then hold shift and type letter and its lowercase. See: test. k :)
