Underscore character?

[AC Question]

How do I input an underscore on my Galaxy Light? I have some contacts with an underscore their e-mail addresses and I can't figure out how to input them.

Thank you.

I find it odd that the keyboard doesn't have an underscore. Have you considered in this case an alternative 3rd party keyboard like Swype or Swiftkey? FYI, Swiftkey is now FREE in the Google Play Store and worth giving a shot

Welcome to Android Central! It can sometimes be hard to distinguish the underscore from the dash. When your keyboard is open, tap the symbols key to bring up symbols (usually with a number pad as well).

I've looked and looked for an underscore but it just isn't there when in a text field -- not on the symbols board or the alpha. I've never seen anything like that one with the alternate currency symbols, how do you get to it?

I guess I'll have to learn more about the alternate keyboard utilities.

Can you post some screenshots of your keyboard?

I found it! You have to go to the second symbol keyboard (i.e. press the 1/3 key on the default symbols keyboard). And the 3/3 key board even has smilies .

If you don't like the keyboard you can download another keyboard.
