Any idea how to circumvent this? The button for switching languages is right next to the comma button. The designer who thought of this needs to be punched in the face... repeatedly.

Hold down that button and uncheck Spanish. It basically disables the button making it even LESS usefully placed... DOH!

The development team also should be punched in face for making it a NON update-able app!

nope not on the orbit
think you'd be clever but you deserve to hit the door or derserve a slap for that
orbit doesnt have that option
anyone..
Every orbit I've seen works as the previous poster explained.
Sure you're not just being a little stooooopid?
Yep definately a CAP key on mine too.
Are you using a Keyboard mod? eg. Happy tapping, if so it's SHIFT twice.
Hi aciforums,
Can you post us a screenshot of your keyboard please?
Does sound a little odd.
If you edit your name as I have written it you may no longer have a problem.

LOL i mean lol
Sorry for unintentional misspelling ACIDFORUMS.
You may have gestures selected for your keyboard. Go to the keyboard options and then de-select "use gestures for the following keys". This seems to remove the CAPS key amongst others on mine anyway.

I've got a new Orbit and it doesn't have a CAPS key, only SHIFT even with gestures turned off. Although SHIFT twice works fine!
What works on all Win Mobile Version I know: Tap the Key you want to have as capital letter, hold the stylus down and slide up.
Press key - slide up - done!
The CAPS key seems to disappear when you have 'Large Keys' selected in the Input options.
HTH

I have noticed something very annoying to me. With some versions of swype you can click back in the middle of a word you previously typed, and it would automatically jump to the end of the word so you could either select a suggested alternative, or hold backspace to delete the word. Other versions, when you click back in the middle of the word, it stays there, in the exact spot you tapped. I hate that.
Is there a way to make swype forward the cursor to the end of the word? Or do I need to use military precision with my tapped selection.
I have this issue too. Also I would like to be able to get rid of that language key. It's useless and a ware of space. Who is swapping between languages so frequently that they need a dedicated button for it which causes the other 99 percent of people using the keyboard to accidentally press it and screw up their predictions.

Both of these are problems I'm having that annoy me
But I believe the moving of the button thingy to the end of the word is just a characteristic of the new version of swype so that's not really an "issue" or "bug" its just there
And that language button wasn't a mistake either lol but it would b nice to chance it or like increase the size of the space button or something

lol, that language key messed w/ my head for a little bit last night as I accidentally pressed it w/o knowing that I did ("WTH, I have to add 'over' to my dictionary??).
And didn't we have the option to cancel a word (say a mistype) in the previous version before it was printed, where now you have to delete your mistakes every time? Seems that I am deleting a lot more than I used to...
:\

I actually thought this was rom-based at first, but now I'm not sure. I'm on EI22 with a recent Swype in my custom rom, and there's no automatic moving.

I held the language key and it gave me the option to choose one language. Now if I accidentally hit it, it doesn't do anything.
Ok so an alternative to the cursor jumping to the front of the word, albeit, a less efficient one, but none-the-less; you can double tap a word and it will be highlighted, then you can just re-swype the word and it will replace the highlighted one.
It'll have to do for now until they ever change it back. Oh well.
And yea like Randomking said, just go to the languages and uncheck all of them except english. That should cause the button to do nothing as well. So there's 2 ways to get around that one.
Has anybody ever thought to implement a feature like that? Rather than sliding, you just press a button. Would look cool with one of those animated miui buttons.

The slide prevents accidental unlocking, like when rolling around in your purse or in your pocket. A button would kinda defeat the purpose.
Can anyone tell me what the square symbol on the bottom left of the PIN login screen is please?
I cant find and reference to it anywhere!

try it
when you press it you will see that the keys on the virtual keyboard will not be highlighted when you tap them. I think this is to prevent somebody peeking over your shoulder and easily figuring out what keys you press to login. Of cause this feature is useless when you use the touch or type cover.

What a great idea!

Is there any way to reduce the sensitivity of the home button?
I cant compose a single email without accidentally hitting the damn thing, which is getting very frustrating.
I'm in the same boat... without the swipe capability, typing would be tough...I might reroute the home action to a different key.

Urgh! I might try a swipe keyboard and see if that helps, because this is driving me nuts.
Previous phones had physical home buttons, so never had the problem before.
I have resorted to typing in landscape mode, but that cuts off the message thread in email/sms/whatsapp, and the labels in most web forms.
I am suprised there are not more people reporting this issue.

Having even come from phones with soft home keys, this is an issue for me, as well...You're not alone :good:
If space bar and home button are too close together, possibly adjusting keyboard height may help. Go to Apps/Settings/Language & Input/ASUS Keyboard/Preferences/Adjust keyboard height. Also ASUS Keyboard has a feature like swype. To do this just enable 'trace input' in the same path as above.

Setting the keyboard height to the higher setting helped a little. Still definitely an issue. Basically my only issue with this fone... I've KIND OF gotten used to it, but it still happens daily.. just not as bad as before..

I rarely run into this problem using the Google keyboard since there is a row of quarter inch of space between the bottom edge of the space bar and home key.

Oh thank { deity }!
Yes that makes all the difference.
Adjusting the ASUS keyboard height may well have the same effect, but i'll stick with Google Keyboard for now.
It annoyed me and I adjusted SwiftKey height and now no issue.

Haha, I'm just using an Xposed module to remap the homekey to a double-tap gesture. I really like the stock keyboard.

How did you do that? Care to share? The lack of a physical home key and hitting home by mistake while typing is the thing stopping me from buying this phone. I have the same problem on my Asus Fonepad 7
If you have xposed, activating the soft nav keys (via GravityboxLP) is a good way to avoid this frustrating problem. You can also set expanded desktop mode so that you can then hide the soft keys at will.
There was also a flashable zip to enable softkeys in the Themes & Apps Section

HA! i thought im the only one having problem with this friggin space and home issue... i read something about disabling home button while keyboard is on, i think that would be great...
Use swiftkey with arrow keys enabled
