 Description   

When I want to enter text like this

"room 101"

The sign goes "room1", then "room0"... (I can't type two numbers, they are replacing themselves,and it deletes the space between literals and numbers)

Also, I tried
"room
101"

Goes the same. Deletes the enter mark.

Also, I can't type ">" and "<" (I use to make simple arrow signs sometimes)

HTC Desire S, Android 2.3.7

I have fixed the problem with removing text on '1' and new line on '6'. The other problem has to do with unicode, we will fix them in the future.

The same sort of problem happens with 6. The 6 skips down a line. (already made an issue on the 6 bug)

That´s the reason, i can´t type that letters , in the PC i have no problems to write it on the sign

Luis, those don't do anything at all when I type them.

And the "ñ", and the accents (áéíóú)?

Comment by Do [ 03/Feb/13 ]

Symbols are all over the place.

< and > work fine.

These work fine ("?123" symbols): @#$%&*-+()!"':;/?,.

These work too ("ALT" symbols): ~`|{}_=[]\

Other ALT symbols:

  • Middot produces a double quote.
  • Pounds (currency) produces what appears to be a "u" with one umlaut on the right side.
  • Euro produces 1/4.
  • Sqrt, Pi, Divide, Multiply, Cents, Degrees, Trademark, Registered, Copyright, Paragraph, and Double-comma produce nothing.
  • ^ displays, but always causes a line break before it.

What about non-alphanumerical characters? Hashes, slashes, everything seems to work fine except "<" ">"

Comment by Do [ 03/Feb/13 ]

Hmm, I get something similar on my MB855... typing a 1 will always overwrite the previous character. The other numbers seem fine.
