Want to STOP: double click space bar and get a period
- I've checked everywhere with no luck, just years old posts. Since these posts are old and useless, maybe we can get an answer now. How can one stop the double clicking period that occurs automatically? I type quite a bit and its getting worse. It doesn't seem as if I am hitting the space bar on a double tap but apparently I do. Once I complete typing a paragraph, I proofread and see the whole page has periods where there shouldn't be and CAPS all over. I have to fix constantly. I had this feature in older versions and it worked flawlessly. Is there anyway to disable the double tap feature? I have the BB 9930....
Edit- As suggested, I checked my Key Rate and it was set to "Normal". I lowered it to the last option which is "Slow" and it seems to have helped the problem quite a bit. I still get the unwanted double tap period once in a while but it works much better. Thanks for the tip!Last edited by keyhole; 01-19-12 at 10:11 PM. Reason: Responses from group helped with issue

- ridesno159 +1 - sounds like the key repeat rate is set too high for your typing style. Try lowering it.

- Its not you its the 9930. This phone is soo laggy. I've watched myself type and KNOW I'm not making mistakes. I've watched myself hit letters,phone laggs then all of a sudden it capitalizes the letter I hit while it lagged. I've tried deleting apps and its obviously a problem with all these phones. My old storm used to do it too. Begining to hate blackberry 's because of it. What's the point of having a dedicated keyboard if the phone lags and mispells everything. OS 7.1 didn't fix the lag either. I posted this long paragraph just to let all you know that it ISN'T you making mistakes...its this crap 9930. And its sad that this is suposably one of best blackberry's at the moment.

If you don't like it, don't hit the spacebar twice. If you s don't like it, pluck the spacebar off and be done with it, but you'll then need to put it back on to use it.
Sum it up, it is a feature you cannot disable and it's been a feature since the first blackberry.03-02-12 02:02 PMLike 0 - Grasshopper, If one wishes to master something, one must learn how to "tweak" the options. Nearly everything in a Blackberry can be customized. A lot can be learned from experimenting with all the variables. Once you fine tune it to your preferences, it will be a much better interactive device.
When you can snatch the pebble from my hand, it will be time for you to leave.

If you select a suggested word (or if you enabled autosuggest/fill), do not hit space after since it's already there and will fire a dot.03-03-12 04:31 AMLike 0 - Its not you its the 9930.

If I hold it down for too long on the first click it will put a period in for me. I have the key rate set at normal, but I think the main problem for me is just holding the space bar down while thinking about what I am typing.05-30-12 05:40 PMLike 0
