Previously, the letters had a corresponding symbol that also showed on the key. If I pressed and held the A, it would insert an !
Now, the keyboard is like the CrApple phones and you have to hit the symbols button to get to the symbols. If I press and hold the A now, it types Ć 

Is there a setting to get it back the old way. I've almost sent my phone flying about a 100x in frustration over this horrible keyboard.

Thank you! I did that yesterday but then played with other setting to try to get the symbols. Then it was grayed out when I got to that.
