I love "writing" on my Note 2. But I am having a few automate problems. Is there any way to change or to turn them off?
The first common problem is periods at the end of sentences. It will put a space before the period, ( Commas too ) and/or it will put in a second period after pressing the enter button.
The second one is a dash or minus sign. I have to turn on the keyboard or it will just add a space.
Yes of course I "wrote" this whole post.

Having found out that my phone has made an international call (lucky it only lasted 34secs) is there a reliable key lock that doesn't involve setting a password? Why wasn't the HD designed so you have to press 2 keys (like most mobiles I've ever used) to get it active - or maybe it is and I just haven't find the combo yet.
Bad design I think as the amount of times I've turned the darn thing back on when putting into my pocket....I've lost count.
Anyway, what works for you?
Cheers

There's the usual power button... which should be good enough, but if not... just hold down the call 'end' key (hang up button), that should invoke the regular windows lock screen that doesn't require a password, just two key presses.
i use s2u2 and the standard lock on phone.
and i use tweakhd.
i know what happened.
when u receive a message, or a reminder the phone unlocks. it happened a couple of times to me. the phone is in my pocket and i press the screen with my leg and it starts calling.
solutions:
add a name in your addresslist, call it AAAAAA , with no phonenumber.
clear your "last call list" often
use s2u2
use the standard phone lock with pincode
use tweakhd ( you can adjust the unlock-mode when receiving a message)
i am sure its too much, but for me it works.
in s2u2 i add the option: unlock phone when pulling out the stylus. then i have to give my pincode.
good luck.

Thanks for all the replies...but I've gone with TheBrilliantMistake suggestion....... not 100% but a vast improvement on just pushing the power button. I never even knew you could hold the end call key.....no mention in my phone handbook. Live and learn!
Thanks everybody...this is a great forum!
This problem is a pain in the butt. Get PocketShield and it will solved all your problems but it cost $14.99

hi,
since i've put the brand new latest ROM from htc.com on my htc touch pro 2... text messaging is a real issue...
the problem is:
i get a text, so i press the "text" icon in the bottom menu.
it shows the last one i allready read... so i have to move up by stroking the screen with my finger.
i get to see the new message.
when i press "reply" in the menu, i automaticly open the keyboard (it's a habbit).
first i have to wait till the screen tilted and the phone is done thinking.
then i just type and press "send".
i close the keyboard and have to wait for several seconds before the screen changes from landscape mode to portrait mode.
after waiting for a while i press the "home" button, and again i'm waiting for several seconds before i get to see my home screen.
my phone acts as if i'm trying to run windows 7 on a 386 dx4 that's over 15 years old (if you know what i mean).
it's really annoying because it takes me very long to read, type and send a message.
what i would like to change:
open with the newly recieved text message.
quicker response when i press "reply".
quicker response when i close the keyboard.
quicker close of the "message program".
no stalling at all....
any ideas?
nobody has a cleu?

Hey for quicker response when closing the message program, instead of closing the program with the "X", try using the Arrow hardware button instead. It doesnt work all the time for me, but most of the time the phone doesnt freeze as it used to when i would press "X".
Go to your messages>all messages>menu>tools.sorty by and select "received"
see if that helps. As for the lag, I don't know how many processes you are running but you may want to give "HTC Clean Ram" a shot. I run it once every couple of days and on average it clears up around 20 mbs of memory. BsB tweaks is another option since there are couple of options there to enhance performance.
when I enter words in non-XT9 mode, I have to wait some time when entering letters on the same key. The cursor just takes 1 full second to jump forward, otherwise I would alter the already typed letter. Its annoying.
I take it you want to lower the waiting time when holding down a button until the alternatives pop up. It is a bit difficult to understand though.
I personally prefer the htc ime mod keyboard found on this forum, which have several very useful modification options. You also have the ability to set the delay you are talking about
link: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663608&highlight=ime_mod
f.e. I use the phone keyboard with 3 letters on one field. Now typing "abc" i have to wait 1 sec. after the "a"until the cursor moves on. If sooner, the letter gets still modified.
The detection that I am done with one letter is just too slow
I think he is referring to the phone keypad or compact qwerty keyboard.
If you want to type ace on the keypad you have press 2 once, wait 1 second, press 2 three times, and then 3 two times.
The "wait one second" part is the problem, and if you don't wait you would end up with à or something, because it wouldn't recognise the c as the new letter.
How to help this? I only know you can move to the right(with the trackball) but that isn't much faster.

ahh i see. Just tried those keyboards for the first time never been needing them. But that is probarbly not as easy to fix.
This is a minor annoyance which plagues me now and again.
On a fairly regular basis, I manage to hit a key combination that deletes the whole line I've just typed. It must be SHIFT + something, or FN + something, cos I recall it happens when I'm trying to enter a special character I think.
Can someone tell me what the key combination is that I'm hitting when I don't need it, and more importantly, can I disable it? I NEVER need to delete a whole line, and I want this annoyance gone!
Any help appreciated!
This just happened to me tonight while emailing... it seems to be the combination of ALT and DELETE. I don't know how to disable it (I doubt you can), but knowing what keys you're hitting by mistake might help.
It's been that way ever since the G1. I hate it sometimes, especially after a long sentence and you didn't realize that it happened.
I've never found a way to stop it.
I would love for a way to disable this as well. Really annoying and I still make the mistake every now again.

If you change your keyboard you can get rid of that option I use ultra keyboard. It is a payed app, but well worth it.
I LOVE the samsung keyboard with the full number row AND the "sub characters" for every key. its SO wonderful.
I have a HUGE problem though. 50-60% of the time it ALWAYS gets the WRONG sub character. you see I want "ONLY" the sub character that is actually listed on the key itself.
but when you press and hold a key it presents you with MULTIPLE options and since I tend to be moving toward my next key many if not most times it select one of the "other" sub keys and not the one (the one on the key) that I wanted.
Usually the OTHER sub character is the capital version of the letter sometimes there is one or two "other" characters.
SO I will press and hold g to get a / and instead end up with a stinking G or press hold f to get $ and get a stinking F
anyway to MOD the keyboard to flat out REMOVE all these extra's so pressing and holding ONLY gets me ONE character the one sub character listed for that key and nothing else ?
There is a mod to shorten the long press delay. I know it doesn't eliminate the other options. But perhaps letting you select the key you want faster will help.
