i know it's EXTREMELY minor, but is it all at possible to turn off the auto-cap of the first letter? i don't ALWAYS need it and it can be quite annoying. TIA!
Try this: Settings/All settings/Personal/Input/Options and there you go !

i don't even see an 'all settings' option, though i'm assuming it'd be because i'm on the US tmobile hd2/different rom perhaps? either way, this is super annoying. does ANYONE have a fix?
lol, sorry but I think it's kinda funny how people are hating on the HD2. I'm posting this from my HD2 and i love it! the all settings button shows up under the menu in the settings. hope that helps
hating? i don't see anyone hating on the hd2 in this thread. a year ago, in fact, i owned the htc touch hd1 as well. i'm definitely a fan of the 'hd' series, i just like to customize my phones to my liking. and yes, unchecking the "capitalize first letter" in the input area didn't fix it for me either.
quite a sad nuisance you're having.
riiiiiiiiiight. thanks for the bump.
@ce_rob
I just got my HD2 a couple of days ago and found this site yesterday, and I've just read alot of threads that were complaining about the HD2. Sorry if I thought you were hating. Actually, I see your problem and I second the motion. I guess I really never noticed it, but yeah, outside of the sms and email (probably office too), the first letter won't be capitalized, even if the box is checked. Hmmmmmm....

oh i agree, i've seen quite a few people complain. they're always welcome to return the device and purchase something else...sadly, they'd rather whine about it first.
and yes! it can be annoying when unnecessary! i hope someone comes up with a fix for this, as small and insignificant as it may be..
You are not searching deep enough!
On Sense move all the way to the right -> Settings Tab
Click Menu -> More
Click Personal
Click Input
DONT click the Options field but the Options Tab on the bottom of the settings page.
Uncheck Capital letters
This MUST fix the problem - at least it fixes the problem in the default keyboard!

Just wondering ...
Why on earth would anyone want to disable the auto-cap for the first word in a sentence?
The first word of a sentance has been capitalized since the dawn of the Latin alphabet (includes English).
Why would you want to turn it off?

though it's impossible to understand why people like you feel the need to give your input when completely unnecessary, i'm sure it's happened since the "dawn of the Latin alphabet," as you so cleverly put it. thanks for the bump, i guess it wasn't a complete waste of time.

Becuase eg. in Danish we put dates as "d. 27. marts" meaning the 27th of March. In this case I would like it not to start "marts" with a capital letter since it is not a new sentence.

So in Danish you don't use capital letters for proper nouns? Well I never knew that.
Anyway, the suggested settings change DOES WORK. If it doesn't then you have a faulty device and should return it to the supplier. Ask them for the "non-capitalized" version.
I think there's plenty reasons why people don't want the first letter capitalized. I have found the need myself many times. Agree with you johncmolyneux, it should work when you have the settings done. Try a soft reset after making the changes Jawb. On my TyTN II I have the same setting and it works.

No we dont. Person and location names we do but not names of e.g. months, days and languages.

I actually didn't comment on if it worked or not. But I have tried it and even a soft start won't make it work. At least not in Sense.

Well, I had never thought of that.
I WAS WRONG, AND I APOLOGIZE FOR MY EARLIER COMMENT.
I'm curious, even though there is no space between the period (.) and the word marts, does the HD2 still capitalize marts? I thought, in order for the HD2 to "think" that a new sentence has begun, there would have to be a space after the period. Is this not the case?
I'm going to try with my phone.
Be back shortly ...
---------------------------------
I'm back. I did the test and my HD2 DOES NOT capitalize the word "marts" in the example 27.marts, and I have it set to capitalize the first letter of new sentences. In fact, here's what I wrote:
This is a test. However, if we type 27.marts, will it capitalize marts?
No, it didn't!
But, when I wrote the following:
This is a test. However, if we type 27. marts, will it capitalize marts?
Yes, it did!
So, what I wrote originally still applies. I can't see a reason why you'd want to turn off this feature. If someone can give me an example, I will bow down and apologize again.

i love the keyboard but i was wondering if there is anything out there that is as intelligent as the iphone keyboard. For instance, the software, over time, recognizes the general area of where your thumb presses a key and adjusts so you always hit the key. anyone know what i am talking about?
well anyone know of any keyboard that does that or if the new pocketcm will have it?
i can search online,or you can come www.fine-nike.com to find,there are have many products,as like shoes,clothes,and so one
From David Pogue:
"* Although you don’t see it with your eyes, the sizes of the keys on the iPhone keyboard are changing all the time. That is, the software enlarges the “landing area” of certain keys, based on probability.
For example, supposed you type “tim.” Now, the iPhone knows that no word in the language begins timw or timr—and so, invisibly, it enlarges the “landing area” of the E key, which greatly diminishes your chances of making a typo on that last letter. Very cool."
That is what i mean.

and meccax, that does sound cool, but i dont think there is a keyboard out there like that. the closest thing i can think of is PocketCM.

anyway, as said above ^^^, touchpal has mistyping correction built-in. i personally dont care much for that keyboard.
but something GREAT that i didnt even know about is...the standard htc touch keyboard kind of has it!!
you can try typing "timw" and get time! just make sure and go into the input settings, and check all boxes. do not, however, check "multi-tap correction". this i think does help improve typing prediction a little, but it prevents the keyboard from searching your contacts in "to:" fields.
hope this helps!
Like i said before, my previous phone (magician) was a perfect little phone.
I just bought a jade, and there are a few thing i wanted to ask you guys regarding this new phone and OS.
For instance, when smsing, some contacts have more than 2 numbers. How can i choose one of those numbers? Only the 1st one shows up. I have to go to contacts and choose the number i want to use? its just stupid and time wasting....
Also, my girlfriends contact name is separated by a SPACE. For example A NAME. The phone doesnt recognize this contact at all. when i press A, it shows all the contacts with A, except hers. If i press space, it inputs the contact above. its just annoying...
Another thing, when i start a conversation, the screen goes out. Unlike the iphone, with its motion sensor, for the screen to go back on i need to press the on/off button. It doesnt make any sense!
It my fist time with this OS. Maybe its just me, but i'm not that pleased with how it works.
If anyone cares to explain, i'd be more than happy.
Thanks.
100 people read this and no one corrected me.
I guess its actually an equipment issue rather than owner misuse.

Solution is simple.. break up and find a girlfriend that her contact name is NOT separated by a SPACE.
Easy and convenient.
DUDE!!!!! why didn't i think of that before?!
Thanks for the useful input.
Keep'em coming!
Another thing I hate (i'm a lover, not a hater, but this phone is really getting on my nerves )
The battery. Soon after an alert about the battery level, the battery doesnt last a call.

Oh, ok! Now i got it.
Even though it seems that no one else has this problem or wants it resolved, I CANNOT stop the Capitalization of the First Letter when typing mgs or emails!
And of course I have unchecked the setting! Tried all kinds of check/uncheck settings in Input, etc. !
So the last resort is the Registry. Does anybody know where I can find this key that controls Capitalization?
Thanks
I have the 'new' Generic UK R2 ( and did not have this problem with R1 -but that had a different Customization Software ID though!-)
I´m interested in a solution too! Unchecking the settings seems to have an effect on the software keyboards only...
settings>input>keyboard>options
untick the capitalize XXXXXX
eh?
What exactly is the problem? You don't want it to auto capitalize the first letter after a full stop? I seem to be having the opposite problem, mine rarely capitalizes when I want it to after a full stop.

I've looked for a solution for this for many years, started with windows mobile 2003. You should believe that it could be fixed like altezza says, but he has not tried this himself because that choice under 'settings>input>keyboard>options' has never worked. A bug for how many years ..?
I find it very useful to choose by myself if I want a capital letter or not. Especially since we at least in Norway writes most abbreviations with a dot. Many folks do that, dont they?
A bit frustrating that the next word then is capitalized, i.e. Like this.
This Capitalizing or Not must be controlled by registry. Come on, somebody must know which key it is....!
If it would capitalize after a 'dot', okay but it capitalizes the beginning of a new line, no matter what!
And again for some that don't read my entire post: YES I have tried the settings check/uncheck... duh!
So again, this auto capitalizing at beginning of a new line has to stop.
I would not complain if auto cap at beginning of new sentence (dot/period) but this crap is unacceptable. I don't understand why nobody else finds a solution, expecially since this is there for quite a while.
Okay, kindly, somebody, what is that Registry Key?
So NO ONE knows the Registry Key? Come on, people here disect the ROM but no knowldge about this little key?
As per laaban message, since 2005 he's been looking for a solution. If you're 100% certain you can find it in the registery, why haven't you tried?
I think it is not the keyboard setting which controls the capitalizing...it is the programm you write with! For example: Writing a new SMS will capitalize the first letter but writing in PIGEON or OPERA doesn´t! Or what dou you guys think?
Pretty sure it's related to Pocket Office, something like Auto Correct, but my attempts at unticking boxes still made it happen.
I just do a Ctrl+Z to undo the "correction".
The settings menü under settings-> keyboard->options-> is only for the windows mobile notes program! There is still no solution for the other programs!
Hi,
is it possible to decrease the sensitivity of wiping right and left? I mean if you wipe from the middle to the right or to the left until the screen moves to the next page...
Normally these are only some millimeters. If you are selecting mails in inbox I often swipe to sms and all my selected mails are deselected again.
I think there have to be some kind of registry key for that...
Regards
Frank

Sorry, but you're basically saying that because you can't use something correctly then you want it to change to suit you??
Just give it a bit of time and you'll get used to it. TouchFLO has been around for a couple of years now (at least - it may have been round for longer!) and I've NEVER heard anyone say anything that even resembles what you're saying.
I'm not having a go - honestly, and I certainly don't want to start any bad vibes here, but you are talking about user error. Sorry mate, but it's that simple.
Persevere mate. Just get used to how it functions and you'll be fine.
Sorry too, but what stupid talking! Would you say that any tweaks in this forum is because users are too stupid to you their devices as designed and all of these changes you can do with WM are senseless?
This is not my first WM device and even not the first one with Sense or TF3D.
What about the discussion about screen sensitivity. They are all stupid using their devices, right?
So...
any constructive advices hear???

You're kidding, right? My software and devices should conform to my lifestyle, I shouldn't have to conform to it. I purchase devices and software because they fit my needs, not because the software forces me to change my habits. This is the very cornerstone of consumer choice, and I find it hard to believe that you'd honestly think otherwise.
I use to know where the config file that held all the auto corrections for the keyboard, but now I can't find it. I mistakenly typed in "thatd" so now every time I want to say "that's", I get the wrong word by default.
Does anyone know where the config file is so that I can delete the "thatd" entry?
Thanks
Joe, the file is named eT9MyWords, and it's in the Windows folder. Hope this helps.

Thanks! Hmmm, I ran the program and there was no thatd... This happens mainly in the HTC Messaging if that makes a difference
try soft reset. I've often found that some words that come up as options when typing are lost when soft reset.

I just Task29 and flashed a new ROM and the mistake persisted
hehe, handy.
The next thing then is that the word generator throws up words based on your useage, , so type 'thats' again, but press the small symbol to the right of the words when they come up, and you should see 'that's' as one of the options. Choose it, and then type it again, and you should see it now comes up as the first option.
(Also, its worth making sure you are being very very accurate with the S and D keys, maybe your touch alignment is off a few milimeters, in which case it WILL offer you thatd, because thats what you typed, , , i do that myself practically daily with some words.)
edit - just double checked, and when i type thatd it doesnt offer me that's, and when i type thats it doesnt offer me thatd.
boo... That's so lame! I just typed 400+ chars worth of "thats" which I pressed the "that's" suggestion that came up every time, and i still get thatd... I even get thatd as the default suggestion for tjats, yhats and thatd... I did a search on my phone for thatd, and I got nothing (wasn't expecting to either)
I've Task29'd and flashed a new ROM and I still get THATD!!!! Really, I think I'm going to have to move away from the HTC Messaging....
So funny update. I typed "thatd" and thats was the first option to come up and I thought Yay! it's fixed! Then I tried typing thats and thatd came up
Does anyone know of a registry or config file somewhere that I need to edit to get rid of thatd?!
Thanks for any help!
