Iphone 6 landscape keyboard punctuation???

Well,
Since Jony Ive had the foolish idea to jump into software design, is there a way to set things back to normal?
I just got a stupid iPhone 6 and now the landscape keyboard doesn't have punctuation. I'm forced to click the 123 button each time I want an apostrophe or a question mark. What is that crazy thing? Who could think about such a thing?
Is there any way to put a normal usable keyboard back to that phone???
For the price I paid I would like to be able to type mail and text messages.
Thanks for any tip that would save that device from the trashbin.
Steve

You're welcome. So try the first two ideas. I have one keyboard that lets me move the cursor by sliding my finger left or right on the spacebar. I have another keyboard that lets me copy to a clipboard for future reference.
Or try the keyboard shortcuts. To help one Forum member I found you can even make shortcuts to symbols that don't exist on my iPad, take this micon μ for example.
I don't even have a iPhone and was able to give you three good suggestions, now it's up to you to make it happen.

  • IPhone 6 landscape keyboard

    When I type on my iPhone 6 iOS8.02 keyboard in landscape mode, the text is invisible in the right hand third of the screen, though the cursor continues to move as I type.  When switched to portrait, the text that was obscured reappears. Is this an iOS8.02 bug?

  • In the latest update of pages on Ipad it says you can easily use iPhone landscape keyboard to type. How do you do this

    If any one knows how to "easily" do this as advertised on pages app. Please help. Cheers

    I don't know where you read that but on the app description page - this is what it states.
    What's New in Version 1.6
    Pages 1.6 requires iOS 5.1 software update or later
    • Easily enter text using the landscape keyboard on iPhone and iPod touch
    • Create and view stunning 3D bar, line, area, and pie charts
    • Pages 1.6 is enhanced to take advantage of the Retina display on the new iPad
    • Includes performance improvements
    That doesn't make it sound like you can use the phone keyboard to edit documents on the iPad. Maybe I missed it somewhere. It just makes it sound like the keyboard now rotates to landscape on the phone and the touch.

  • Landscape keyboard in App Store

    Is there a hidden feature that lets you use a landscape keyboard when writing reviews in the App Store?

    Hi, yep, same thing has happened to me today. Using an iphone 4. Don't as yet know how to fix it other than a reboot.

  • Landscape Keyboard

    When is Apple going to upgrade the keyboard so you can use the landscape keyboard for text messaging, email, internet, etc.? I have nails so a larger keyboard makes typing much easier for me. This is the only aspect of the phone I have any issue with. I love my phone and think Apple should include this feature in the next update.

    Wow, that SMS touch looks like a great app, and it's only two bucks right now! The developer says it was the price for Xmas and the day after, but he hasn't fixed it back to $5 yet. I just want to get it for my sister to save her on messaging fees. She has a 3G iPhone and so doesn't get the 200 messages for free. So instead she's told people not to text her and only sends mesages when they are urgent...haha. This program actually sends the "texts" as email and when people reply back, it's also received in your email box. Not 100% graceful, but it really might be a money saver.
    Biggest isue is it will not work on international numbers, but AT&T already screws us in that regard, because my 200 free texts don't seem to include International texts, either.

  • Landscape Keyboard in YM

    When using Yahoo Messenger, I turn my iPhone 3Gs to landscape to thumb type on the larger keyboard. After the iOS 4 upgrade, the landscape keyboard is smaller without the spacebar. Does anyone else have this problem? I wondered if it was the OS upgrade, or Yahoo needs a patch.

    Sorry, I don't believe the remote app has a rotatable screen.

  • Changing the landscape keyboard

    I'm quite unhappy with all those extra buttons on the landscape keyboard on my iPhone 6 plus. I'd rather have bigger keys. Any way to disable all those extra keys? Or perhaps there's a keyboard out there that doesn't have the extra ones?

    You can switch to zoomed mode Settings > Display & Brightness > View > Zoomed. In that mode, when in landscape, the keyboard his nice and big.. however everything else is big too.
    I'd love to have the big keyboard but leave the rest the same.
    I'm on iPhone 6, so not sure if this will work on 6 plus too. Let us know!

  • Landscape keyboard not in all apps

    Just wondering... i upgraded to 3.0 yesterday and so far so good... except... I noticed that in a lot of apps like Facebook, YouTube (the iPhone app, not the website), MySpace, TweetDeck and many others I do not get the larger landscape keyboard when I rotate my iPhone. I thought this landscape keyboard was supposed to be in all apps, not just Messages, Safari and Mail.

    The developers of those apps have to put that feature into their application. You might see this come with the next update of the app.
    Apple made the feature available to developers and rewrote their own apps to give the feature. All 3rd parties will have to do it themselves

  • Apple please make landscape keyboard optional!

    Apple please have a feature in the settings menu where we can disable the landscape keyboard in messaging!
    Or even have have an option where we can disable the landscape mode in general. Theres lots of times where Im texting and slightly turn my phone and it goes into landscape mode. Or when im laying down and it stays in landscape mode.
    Its bugging me!

  • Ios 8 landscape keyboard texting numbers

    When I am typing in landscape in a text message, and type a number, why does it not switch back to letters? Instead it stays on numbers making you tap it a 2nd time. Is there a way to change this?
    Also the landscape keyboard in messages is terrible. The actual letters are smaller than typing portrait, hopefully a keyboard comes out where you can actually move keys.

    Same issue here. Just did the download now I'll hit the alpha key on the screen and it does not register. Only happens in landscape mode. Only tried it on imessage and SMS, did not try email yet.

    - Purchased directly from an AT&T Store, in US
    - iOS 8.0.2 (12A405)

  • IPhone 5 landscape pictures

    Why do some of my photo's in landscape have black bars either side, and some fill up the whole screen, when viewing back on the iPhone 5?
    I've also noticed that when viewing some landscape iPhone 5 pics back in iPhoto (on my mac) they have zig zag lines either side of the thumbnail but other landscape shots do not?
    Please explain?
    Thanks.

    Let me clarify a little more.  The pictures I am referring to where all taken while holding the iPhone in landscape.  That is why I don't understand that some of those pics have black bars and others fill out the whole screen when viewing back in landscape view.

  • When I use the keyboard on my iphone 5, the keyboard takes a mind of its own.  If I press a letter sometimeIs it puts the letter twice.  It puts periods when I don't want it to.  And if I hesitate on a letter it starts erasing everything I just typed.

    What user troubleshooting have you tried? The user troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore from backup and restore as new. Usually a reset will fix most of the unusual actions by the device.
