Not capitalizing the "i" when texting

[cgilm2526]

This is my first post so I hope I explain everything. I upgraded from the D1 to the D4 two days ago and noticed when I send a text, that the D4 doesnt capitalize the letter "i" when its by itself. I have to hit Shift to capitalize it. Is anyone else having this problem and is there a fix? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was annoyed by that too so several of my posts here don't have that.

I just checked because I also want it corrected.

• Settings
• Language & Keyboard
• Built-in Keyboard
• Auto-Replace -- check this it will correct mistyped words. Not sure how it works on other words, but does auto correct the I to capitalize it.

That's werid, mine does, didn't have to do anything to it.

Thanks for that, I was having the same issue.

I also wish (on the built in keyboard) that the Shift and CAPs lock button positions were reversed, and that hitting SHIFT+1 to get the exclamation mark wasn't a finger contortion feat of epic proportions.

I also have this problem. Auto-correct is not an option for me, I HATE it. Does anyone know how to get the automatic punctuation like "I", "I'm", "We'll", etc? This worked fine on my Droid 2 with auto-correct OFF.

You would think that it would correct itself without having to turn on the Auto-Correct. Not a really fan of Auto-correct so was hoping that there was a fix to the "i" problem without have to use the Auto-Correct option.

It doesn't do that on mine. Suggestion: Add "I" in the user dictionary. See if it helps.

 

[cgilm2526]

Adding it to the dictionary didnt help. UGH

 

[R2D|2OID]

We shouldn't have to use the dictionary to do this.

you can press shift separately from 1. you dont have to hold down shift.

Do you have all of those selections on?

All are on other than the auto-replace. That option is not necessary to get the automatic capitalization and punctuation that we are looking for.

 

[debdroid1a]

Auto-Replace is what I checked and my 'I' was capitalized after that.

 

[R2D|2OID]

Right, but on my Droid 2 auto-replace was not required to perform the punctuation / capitalization corrections. It is designed to not require auto-replace turned on.

The whole reason I have a physical keyboard is so that I never have to use auto-correct, auto-fill, or any automatic typing features.
