- Hi all. I'm hoping you might help me figure out whether or not what I'm experiencing is normal. On my iP4, if I 1) Press and hold the .?123 key, and 2) Slide to the period key without lifting my finger, I can stay on the period without ever bringing up the extended choices—in other words, the "..." never shows. It only shows if i choose the second keyboard, lift my finger, and THEN choose the "." This is the opposite behavior of my old 3G, so I'm wondering if it's normal.
I know it doesn't sound like a big deal, but there is a big difference; the old method would return me to the standard keyboard when I lifted my finger. Now
I have to manually move from one to the other.
Anyway: would someone mind testing the behavior on their own iP4? FWIW, I'm on 4.0.1. Many thanks!09-23-2010 12:58 AMLike 0 - SlyfiTiPb Forum Staffthe "hold and slide" function is added for faster punctuation selection.
this is normal its kinda hard to determine where your holding you finger twice (hope that makes sense) since the UI "thinks" that your just holding it over the period while you search the keyboard for the punctuation that you really want
so in short yes this is normal even if not completely convenient.09-23-2010 01:04 AMLike 0 - When I hold '123' and slide to the period, I can't access the elipse either. I can only view the extended options manually.09-23-2010 09:01 AMLike 0

- Same for me. Perhaps the OP doesn't have very steady hands? Because when i move my finger slightly, it doesn't want to pop up the extended options.09-24-2010 12:12 PMLike 0
