    E5 how to I type an SMS in uppercase or capital letters

    Well I have to tell myself - RTFM. Its all there in the
    userguide.
    Page 23



    For continous typing of numbers - press the function key twice

    For capital letter or uppercase - press the shift key twice. Take note, you will not be able to move to the uppercase mode from the beginning. Type a single character first and then use the shift key twice.

    Shift key for capital letters does not work in the Your Phone App

    OP here, on a seperate user account and computer

    The issues persists across 3 user accounts, 2 computers, windows 10 and windows 11 both of which are fully updated.

    I can use the caps lock button to make uppercase letters, but the shift key only works for symbols.

    It is this way across all apps when typing through my phone as well.

    The Shift key DOES work if i open the app seperately from the your phone program, but the messaging app i use is not compatiable and it displays incorrectly. So the issue is only when the phone display is mirrored
