Title: Where has @ gone?
Post by: Longcove on October 15, 2013, 06:07:39 PM

Hi: This is weird. I'm setting up my email account again and can't find the @ key. When the tablet thinks you are filling in an email address the symbol is just to the left of the space bar. I'm setting up my gmail user name which uses the @ symbol and I can't find it on the keyboard. Hit every key in sight, looked at the numeric keys, checked symbols. Nothing.
Any ideas please?
Thanks.
Donald

Let's start with some basics, swipe down from the top right side of the tablet and tap "Settings", then scroll down and tap "Language and Input" and make sure Google Keyboard is selected. You did not mention, if you can installed a 3rd party keyboard, but if so it will be listed. If the "@"  returns after selecting the Google keyboard and you had another keyboard selected, you have identified your issue. Personally, I use the "SwiftKey" keyboard for tablets from Google Play, that is a great keyboard alternative.
