Hi All,

I have a strange problem with my n900. The ^ button doesn't work. Of course this can only be accessed through the virtual keyboard. All other symbols work fine, but when I press the ^ button, the button becomes highlighted but the symbol doesn't get passed through to the input field.

Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks.

Have you tried pressing the space bar on the keyboard while "^" is highlighted?

i have this problem too, try taping the spacebar after highlighting ^, this works for me

this is completely normal behaviour, as on a desktop. I'm not sure about the US keyboard layout though, but usually, "^" is an accent applied to other letters, e.g:

1) You press ^ once - it doesn't appear.
2) You press a - what appears is â (same with êîôû)

This is the same with ` and ´ and ¨ to get the letters àèìòù and áéíóú and äëïöü

You can also simply press the symbol twice, to get the same effect. E.g. I press ^ four times to get ^^

As I said I'm unsure if this should also be the case with the US layout. If it's not like this on a US layout desktop, it might be a bug to be reported, but for all non-US layouts I know, it is normal that the key does not appear after just one touch.

^^ !

thanks guys, pressing the space works...pressing the ^ doesn't, but since the space works all is good

In a normal US layout, ^ is just ^. You have to do some gyrations to get a hat or other accent mark over a letter via compose keys.

It's entirely possible (and also "correct") that Nokia is using "US International with dead keys" layout, in which case the behavior they are getting is not a bug but the expected behavior.
