Help...Can't Get German ß (Eszett) to display anymore...
I got an iPod touch recently and with (U.S.) English selected as the language I was happily able to select the extra German letters of ä,ü,ö, and ß by holding after a tap the a,u,o, or s respectively and then sliding to the select the variant I wanted. Everything was perfect...
A couple of days ago, I upgraded to OS 4.2.1 (I had 4.1.something before) and now it seems the "ß" option has vanished (ä,ö,ü are still available as before). The only way to get the ß back is to change to "German" under Settings-General-International-Language. Aghhh.
Can somebody who *hasn't upgraded* confirm that holding a lowercase (it has to be lowercase I think) "s" gives an option to pick "ß" ? And can somebody else who has "upgraded" to 4.2.1 confirm that indeed the β has now disappeared, i.e. holding the lowercase "s" offers nothing additional.
Also, am I correct in assuming that the "Hardware Keyboard Layout" only concerns an external keyboard and not the softkey keyboard that pops up on the iPod Touch itself? I tried tinkering with those settings, but they don't seem to do anything for me (no external keyboard).
Thanks!!!!!
