Typing problem with the hardware keyboard

[futurefields]

Hey guys, i prefer using the hardware keyboard.

However, when I am in the middle of a sentence and I type "i" when i hit space it goes back, and capitalizes the "i" then when i hit space again it adds a period. I dont want it to do this. I want the space bar to put a SPACE when i hit it, not capitalize things and add periods and all this other automatic behavior. Thanks!

Also, it does the same thing whenever i type "i'm" or anything with an apostrophe, it capitalizes the "i" and adds a period. Anybody living in the 21st century knows nobody cares about capitalizing the "i" in a text message. I just want the stupid droid to type what i type, and nothing more. Thanks!

Just ignore it!

If you type the i and hit the space and continue typing it will capitalize the I (like we all learned to do in first grade) and keep typing with the space after the I. Don't hit the space a second time.

Just ignore it and you will be fine.

Lol... and then promptly UNLEARNED when we discovered friends and text messaging. Thanks!

Wow, I like that feature. I only wish it would automatically correct my spelling too. I must be an old goat...:rockon:

From one old goat to another, I like the capitalization and the periods but would really appreciate a spell checker for the good stuff. The young blood probably would not want the spell check since they "know it all".

You are peeved cause the space bar capitalizes the letter I?? Wow, I thought I had issues with petty things.

He was asking if there was a solution, not for your ppls criticism for something he doesn't like.

If you go to Settings>Language & Keyboard>Android Keyboard and then uncheck auto-capitalization and uncheck auto-complete that should turn that off. You can also deselect quick fix if you don't want it to auto correct commonly mis-spelled words too.
