DERRR. That would be in the middle of the words, not sentence. Your so funny.... NOT!

I just can't see why there is not setting to stop the automatic period from happening. Does that make it a little clearer Nagrom? You sarcasim certainly did not help. As I saw from peoples replies, I am not the only one that would like to resolve this. Thanks to all!

The sarcasm was because you are asking for a fix for something that does not need to be fix. Real people don't have problems with putting double spaces in the middle of their sentences or words. Just don't hit the space bar 2 times and your "problem" is solved. You will also notice I told you where to look, but evidently you are too lazy and want someone else to do it for you.

This was without a doubt one of the most overdue features for windows mobile. It was miserable going back and forth between BlackBerry and WinMo and not having that feature.

I tend to double space and it keeps adding a period in every two or three words. I have checked under settings/ input and anywhere else I could find. Thank you for any help on this :)

Testing is full of misspellings, deliberate and otherwise, why worry about it? I'm sure a solution has been suggested that works, but isn't that part of the charm? I know you are embarressed becuase you are a male teacher texting your female students, but don't worry, they won't think you're dumb, nor will the cops monitoring it all. (j/k) :o)

Wow, the aggressiveness over this topic is a little ridiculous. I know exactly where the op is coming from. I have 2 TP2's, 1 has a very sensitive space bar. Sometimes when shooting a quick text, I'm not always using strict grammar. So this. happens a lot. So while I don't mind the. double space that much, sometimes. it's a little hard for people. to follow my texts if I miss the period HTC added. for me. I would love. to turn this feature off.

I can honestly say I've had the phone for 6 wks and have yet to have any periods in the middle of my sentences, but thank you for bringing this feature to my attention.

Nagrom,

Its funny, some other people seem to understand and it bothers them also. If it does not affect you, why don't you get a life and move to the next thread. I see threads on here that don't seem to have any purpose for me, but I don't stop and offer useless sarcasm. Thanks to everyone for the input. I was just wondering if there was a quick cab to fix this floating around as I am only going on my second year with Windows Mobiles devices and have read through almost every thread that looked relevant.

i dont see how this is any different from the people that wanted the sleep button disabled when the keyboard is open. all they have to do is not hit the sleep button right??

its not stupid at all. i guess you never make mistakes when u type but this happens to me all the time and it would be nice if there was a fix
