Has anyone else noticed that in landscape the comma and full stop are reversed i.e. press comma and you get a full stop, and vice-versa?
try turn off T9 mode.
Yeah I have that bug too. Apparently it's only in some locales so I guess the only true fix would be a ROM upgrade.
In the mean time, you could try to turn off T9 as suggested.

Anyone know how this toggles? At the moment mine isn't popping up every time, but a week ago it was. Now with the big-ass keyboard of the JJ in landscape mode, I don't want this to popup and wondered if anyone knows how to toggle it?
I haven't quite figured it out, but it seems to be some sort of a 'smart' thing.
I think it works like this... if you have the phone in tablet mode and use the button to bring up the keyboard, then it seems to keep coming up automatically whenever you put the cursor in a text field. If you switch to laptop mode and enter a text field the keyboard still comes up, but if you type something with the keyboard then the onscreen keyboard disappears and I think that will stop it from coming up automatically... until you pull it up again in tablet mode.
Thanks for the reply. It's an interesting idea. As it's not doing it right now, I am almost scared to put it to the test
Anyone else tried it or had this problem?
Its not a problem, Brett is quite right. If you put the screen KB away with the stylus and type on the KB it will pop back up again next time you enter a field. If you hit a key on the KB with the screen KB still visible it will disapear and not come back til you go into portrait mode or bring the KB up again manually.

Is there a way to completely disable the onscreen keyboard that seems to pop up at the most innoportune time when editing text data? Whenever I'm using my exec in 'mini laptop' mode, i have access to a full keyboard, and having the on screen keyboard pop up, using 3/4 of the screen height, rendering whatever I was working on unusable, well, that's... frustrating.
Is there a way to disable that keyboard? Registry tweak maybe? TIA!
Try a null keyboard app. PHM has one. There are others too, a big review of them on Brighthand.

Thanks! Sounds like it'll do the trick.
Also, you can simply start typing using your hardware keyboard instead of removing the soft keyboard by clicking on the icon. It will disapear, and will not reopen for this app.
If you click on the keyboard icon to remove it from the screen, it will come back next time.
Here try this NullKeyboard. It works fine on my Exec: http://personales.ya.com/beemer/prod03.htm
this program don't work for me. everytime i select it, my soft keyboard comes back.
Just curious is their a way to disable it only in landscape mode?
Im using pocketcm and it pops up when ever im sending a text.
I checked in the regestry and i tried sktools, but its an older release.
Im running Schap's WM6 Pro 4.22 lite ROM and ive checked in his advanced tools...nada.
there's a bunch of programs that let you set different soft keyboard depending on if you're in portrait or landscape mode; one off the top of my head is PQzII. i think QuickMenu might also have the feature, but i can't check right now. anyway, set whatever soft keyboard you want for portrait mode, but for landscape, grab the soft keyboard named NullKeyboard. it's like a blank keyboard, which is as close as you can get to solving your problem. just use PQzII (or whatever) to set the landscape keyboard as NullKB, and you're all set.
Worked like a charm...Thanks
On my Kaiser, if it pops up in landscape mode, if I just start typing with my hardware keyboard, it goes away automatically. Does the Hermes not do that?

It does, but not when i use contactcm. Even now i noticed when i use null keyboard contactcm it still shows 2 send buttons on the screen and the keyboard comes back but u cant see it.. so null didnt really help with that program, No biggie ill just tap the screen to drop the keyboard. once i do that it dosnt pop back up, unless i close the program.. only happends on 2 programs i use.
Is it possible to keep the 6800 in landscape mode at ALL times unless I manually press a mapped key or click a rotate icon? There are alot of times where I'm sending tons of text messages and I'm constantly opening and closing the phone and the delay for the screen to rotate around gets REALLY annoying. I'd really like it if I could just keep it in landscape mode and switch it back manually when I'm done
Thanks in advance for any advice!
start, settings, personal, sceen allows you to rotate orientation.
You're right, it does. But that setting is overridden whenever you slide the keyboard in/out. So if I were to go set my 6800 to landscape manually, then open the keyboard and close it again, it will automatically go back to portrait mode regardless of what I've set as my personal setting.
I'm looking for a way to stop my 6800 from automatically changing the screen orientation when the keyboard is slid in or out
try this it should work for you.
Thanks for that. It will suffice for the time being until I find some way to make the change fully manual. Seems I've found some people on PPC Geeks who are looking for a solution to this as well.
Hopefully someday someone will figure it out
supposedly someone is going to post something that may help!

Hello there,
Just noticed that whenever I'm typing a SMS/MMS in landscape mode using the full QWERTY keyboard, the decimal point and comma are reversed, meaning when I press the decimal point I get a comma and vice versa. Typing in portrait mode is fine, no problems at all. Also, the shifted values and are fine in both landscape and portrait mode.
Any thoughts out there?
Regards, Jack
Are your regional settings set right?
Same problem on mine and regional settings are correct.
Seems like a bug.
Same here. I'd just incorrectly assumed it was a side effect of Gyrator
It happens to me as well, whenever I use the landscape keyboard when I'm "not supposed to" with gsen. When the landscape keyboard is used in Opera this doesn't happen. Should be easy to fix.
Fix little stickers over the keys

It's not confined to gsen or Gyrator either - using AEButton to map "rotate screen" and the keyboard does the same comma/fullstop switch-round.
It is rather annoying that Opera doesn't do the same thing actually - otherwise you can just mentally swap them in your mind and it's fine!
This has nothing to do with Opera, the bug shows in landscape keyboard in any application including Opera, when T9 is on. Turn it off, and the layout goes back to normal.
