It is for when you press the 12# button on the keyboard, and select a symbol, it will not revert to the qwerty keyboard unless you press 12# again. If it is off, it will let you enter one symbol and return to the qwerty. Hope that helps...
thanks mate

Sorry for the stuoid question but... I can't find the symbols ("!", "@" ecc...) on the keyboard of my Jam...
Tap on "Shift" on the keyboard, and enjoy it.
I find the "!" but I can't find all the "standard symbols".... for example the "@"!!
Sorry, probably I'm still sleeping today!
Come on Markino, Its beside the "!" symbol !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well actually, on my keyboard the @ symbol is 2 spaces to the left of te space bar. Either way, it's there! Other symbols are found by either tapping "Shift" or the button in the top left corner with "123". Not really hard to work out.
Easy question...
For the life of me, I can't fathom out how to enter a £ symbol using the hardware keyboard, the 'soft' keyboard or the transcriber.
Can anyone help?
How much time/effort did you put to solve this problem, huh?
For soft keyboard, just click on the '123' on the top left will give you a number and symbol keyboard with £ around.
For transcribe, you just draw the £ normally. If you have problem how the symbol is drawn, click on the second-from-the-left button at the bottom, click on the right-arrow to locate the £ symbol. At the top, tap on the picture for it to show you how to draw them.
Excellent thanks v much!
It's amazing what you forget after 2 or 3 weeks sans-Wizard on holiday!!
Just need to work out how to do similar with the keyboard now, but at least I have a workaround!
double tap the red dot to put on symbol lock, tap g, then tap the space bar twice. double tap the red dot again to take symbol lock off.
Has anyone been able to activate the symbols menu from the keypad that appears on the space bar key? It would be nice to enter a back slash without opening the onscreen keyboard.
Thanks in advance.

Explain, please.
Do you mean without opening the sliding hardware keyboard? You said "onscreen"; I think you mean with the onscreen keyboard.
on the hardware keyboard there is no backslash, so you have to use the software keyboard. I too didn't find a way to easily enter some "symbol" mode...
if you type the forward slash and still have the unit in symbol mode and hit space, it will change it to a back slash and then cycle through more symbols if you continue to hit space in symbol mode.
I thought of something like that... The only problem with that technique is, that you don't know which symbol is on which key (/\ is quite obvious of course ). Much nicher would be some table that pops up with symbols and you can chose there (communicator had that)
symbol mode
if you type the forward slash and still have the unit in symbol mode and hit space, it will change it to a back slash and then cycle through more symbols if you continue to hit space in symbol mode.
How do you get it into symbol mode once you slide open the keyboard? Typed forward slash then hit space and it moved forward. Just want to type a backslash without opening the onscreen keyboard.
Thanks in advance.
Hold the Button with the red dot while typing space bar. As with the whole keyboard, the red dot button accesses the red labels of the keys... so the "Sym" is written in red on the space bar, abviously this means it's accessed the same way.
Didn't work the first time. Got it now. Tyvm.
Is there anyway to turn it off? don't think have any use for its function and other languages.
There is an XT9 entry in the settings.
Im having this problem too. Im using the Sprint Snap if that makes a difference but if I go into settings and change any of the XT9 settings, they revert as soon as I hit done.

for whatever reason there are two possible ways to get into the xt9 settings and only one of them saves the changes. i can't remember how to get to them with the other method but someone will.
with my snap i just press (while typing a text) FN + space and then turn predictive text off
to turn off xt9 maybe its like the excalibur hit alt then space give that a shot
where is the "alt' key. I can only see fn and shift key
I have the same issue with the Ozone. Need to find how to emulate an "ALT" key?
Found it for the Ozone. Press and hold the "SYM" kery while in text typing mode in SMS or email. It then lets you turn XT9 on & off and saves it.
Hi,
Is there any way to make it easier to insert the "£" symbol when typing using the HTC keyboard? At the moment I have to press 12#, then 1/2 before I can find the "£" symbol. It would be so much easier if it was on a long press of one of the other keys on the keyboard, eg if you long press "f" you get a "$" symbol, or long press "s" you get an "@" symbol.
Cheers

Have a look for
"Currency Symbols for Keyboard.cab"
that may be what you need. It puts all teh currency symbols on the one key.

I must have read that sticky like 10 times, and I haven't seen that. I think a trip to specsavers is needed
Cheers by the way
