Hello, I have a lumia 530 and it's happening something weird. When I write in the 'Messages' and I write a word that I don't want, I touch de 'delete' button and the whole word dissapear, but when I write in whatsapp and I don't want that word, when I press the 'delete' button just erase the last letter. What could be the reason?

hi
some times the touch screen has a mind of its own and starts pressing buttons, or options itself with out me doing anything...
also if i go into my inbox the 1st message is highlighted with out me touching it... if i then try to open another message it'll just open the 1st one that is highlighted...
when typing a new message, i open the contacts part to add a number but pressing a name just highlights it, press it again and it un-highlights...
its driving em mad!
ive cleaned the screen, soft-rebooted (little button at the bottom), aligned the screen
please help if possible.. thank you!
I was messing around with my conatcts list earlier, and at one point used the jog wheel to move down. instead of moving down contact by contact, a big letter popped up and I could scroll through letters of the alphabet and land on contacts beginning with that letter.
I could not repeat what I had done. I could not scroll through the alphabet anymore.
I checked the wm5 documentation and couldn't find anything on the feature.
Does anyone know what I did to activate it?
gthing,
You can open the contacts and press for about 4-5 seconds the down button...the letters will appear!
With the jog wheel i dont know how to do it.
apnaf, this is the wanted behaviour - but I've got the same problem. The scrolling through the alphabet is not working for me either.
As this is the best way to navigate contacts without stylus (ok, voice recognition not mentioned) I would be very happy if someone has the solution to turn this feature on again.
(And I mean by the down button. Didn't know the jog wheel on the side had this possibility)
When holding down the D-pad, after scrolling through the contacts starting with A and B, from C on you scroll the letters instead of individual contacts. With the scroll wheel this works the same, but since I have for instance 20 contacts starting with A, one turn of the wheel is not enough to scroll through all of them. So, After 1 turn i have to let go of the wheel and turn it again. This is interpreted by the Windows Mobile as you letting go of the D-pad, not wishing to scoll down further. That's why with the scroll wheel you are not likely to see the large letters appear. Only when you have only a few contacts starting with A and B will you be able to scroll to C with 1 single turn and will you see the scroll-by-letters.
I understand what the OP is saying -- mine has done that too -- a few times, but I can't replicate the behavior..
basically, it happened WITHOUT having to use dpad. as soon as i opened contacts, scrolling started by letter when i rolled the job wheel. It would be nice if that were the default mode.
The one time I noticed this is when I accidentally dumped about 800 contact book. The letters popped up immediately upon scrolling downward with the jog wheel. Since I had about 50 contacts starting with A, I wonder if there is not some other thing that triggered it.
Here is exactly how it went:
1. Opened contacts
2. Noticed I had a bunch of crap contacts
3. Thought to myself "oh ****, how am I going to clean this mess up" (there was a long pause here before I did anything - don't know if the pause was important)
4. Scrolled downward, got the letters. Tried again immediately but failed.
Clearly there is something more we don't understand here.
Maybe there is a reg setting somewheres.
Hi guys just experiencing some problem with the backspace button on the keyboard (del button top right) sometimes it just stop working I have to restart the phone for the button to work again

Maybe you may have pressed the blue function key button which changes the backspace to the left to delete to the right. I think a double press causes it to stay on so you can type a string of numbers. Just press the blue button once more and it should revert to a backspace key.

Hi thanks for a quick reply, i hope it was somthing silly like that which i was doing, its happend like 3 times, so i will wait and see next time it happens, thanks again for your reply i hope this is the "problem"
thanks
Mine has done this a few times, the backspace starts actign liek the Fn key is pressed, so it acts as Del.
Hitting Fn, pressing backspace twice always fixes it for me.
Had this as well the first time. And it looked to me as occasionally the Fn key stays on without having it used.
About the Fn key: Press it once and you use it once, press the Fn key twice and you can keep using it (somewhat like the "Num Lock" on your computer)
Thanks for all your help guys, im sure this was the problem for me,
Dose anyone know how to change the input method with keyboard? Thanks a lot
If you want to use the alternate character for the key you can long press the individual key, press fn for a single use or long press fn for a locked position. The up arrow works the exact same way for capitalization. The ae key brings up the special characters for the entered letter and the smiley face is the emoticon button. The sym key brings up the onscreen keyboard symbols and don't forget to use the .com button while browsing.
Take a look at page 17 of the user manual and it explains things pretty well.
Also note that if you enter the people, messaging, email and search and a couple other things with the keyboard closed you can slide the keyboard open after entering and it will place you in the text field ready to type without an extra screen press. This is a very good keyboard if you get used to it.
Coming from the Note 1, I didn't realize that I would miss the lack of a search button until I opened the browser and had to click on the URL bar before I could type into it. With one hand, that's almost impossible. Used to just tap on the search button and it would highlight the URL text so I could erase and type something else. Now I either need to use two hands or readjust so my thumb can reach the top and then readjust again to type on the keyboard.
So my question is: can I re-map anything to replicate this function? I tried to find something to re-map a long-press of the back button but had no luck. And I don't want to do a combo-button press such as Home+Back in Home2. I don't even know what function I would assign to it anyway, that would highlight the text in the URL field. Any help is appreciated.
