If all is well, I just changed things so that the message you just posted appears immediately, instead of having this silly in-between page for three seconds first.
[yep, it works...]

This is the third one I've gotten with the same problem.
I've read through 11 pages of the forum and did a search but no one seems to have my problem.. however everyone I know who has a Sprint Touch Pro has the same issue.
I get a text, I tap the notification on the bottom Touch FLO 3D screen (the text icon with the yellow circle w/ # of txts that are new.)
I view the message.
I tap MENU at the bottom right. I tap reply. Slide open the keyboard, and begin typing the reply and the minute I type any key (sometimes specifically "R") it automatically flips to the call history screen and uses the last letter I typed to find related calls in my call log starting with the letter.
The same also applies if I press "NEW" on the TF3D screen and slide the keyboard open.
It takes whatever I message I was typing and throws it into drafts - which is now full of messages from all the attempts I've made to text and puts me into call history.
I called HTC about this - one person admitted to knowing about the problem but they said there is no fix - the next time I called they knew nothing about it.
This is just one of several issues I have with this phone. There MUST be a fix for this somewhere on here... HELP! ITS DRIVING ME INSANE!

The reason this is happening is simple. When you open the keyboard the cursor is not in the text box where you are going to type. So the moment you hit a key it starts to look up calls matching those letters. So to avoid this just tap into the text box then start typing. I don't know if there is a permanent fix for this so you don't have to tap in the text box.
The reason all of those messages are going into the drafts is really quite simple as well. Windows mobile saves your messages, text or email, which you are creating so that if the screen switches, i.e. a call comes through etc. you don't loose everything you have just typed.
If you do #1 you shouldn't have issues with #2.
Thanks for the reply - but it's not that simple. Half the time the cursor IS in the text box, it allows me to begin typing a message (reply or new) - however half way through the text (maybe the third word in) it throws my message into drafts and begins pulling up items in my call history or contacts.
I've tried "tapping the text box" to place the cursor - that didn't work either. Still does the same thing.
I miss my Mogul.. it never did this. If this can't get fixed I'm moving to the Palm Pre LOL.
I have this same problem
I have this problem too.
It is most annoying to be halfway through a txt or email and suddenly have it start searching through the contacts.
It isn't an issue of the cursor being in the wrong place. It just starts doing it randomly. I did notice less of a problem with it when I flashed a new ROM
My Fuze did this (as does my brother's Touch Pro) all the damn time. When I updated my phone it stopped. I think my brother's Touch Pro still does it quite frequently.
It's is EXTREMELY obnoxious. I tried contacting HTC directly, but they were not helpful. I was able to send probably 1 out of 3 messages without being interrupted.
Here's my problem. In my android app I use AutoCompleteTextView and refresh items list for each 5 seconds. Refreshing is working, when I call notifyDataSetChanged(). But when I type here something and it'll give me the list of matching items and then I close it manually, when another thread is refreshing the list and calling notifyDataSetChanged() dropdown list is showing automatically (even if I closed it before). And it's really annoying, because if list is long it takes whole screen and after closing it'll appear in another 5 secounds. I tried dismissDropDown() just after calling notifyDataSetChanged(), but it doesn't have any effect. It looks like dropdown is showing with a little delay. It's also not good way to fix it, because if user hasn't closed the list it'll close after a refresh. Also tried to take focus away - still no effect.
So I need a method to: update my items list (via notifyDataSetChanged()) without automatically showing dropdown list, but if dropdown was already showed don't close it.
Hope you can help,
cheers
P.S. I hope it's a good forum section, if not please move it. I already aksed this question on stackoverflow, but still no answers, no clue how to fix this.
Really nobody have no idea?
Last bump......
Probably one of the most annoying thing to me on the s3 is the stock messaging app. When you open it you are always in the last message that you viewed before, even if you just received a new message. I think if you get a new message it should either open in that new message or at least open on the main list of all your messages.
Is there a setting that i am missing to change it from always opening on the last message that you viewed?
If you closed the messaging app by pressing the home button than it will open at the same place you left last time but if you close it by pressing the back button than next time when you open it will open in the main menu...
It requires you to press the back button twice as appose to just ones with the home button but it is at least a work around. Thanks for the tip! I will just have to get in the habbit of doing that. Thanks again
I just saw (by sheer accident) a box pop up when I was about to reply to a text that I had just received.
I had never seen this box pop up before so I don't know what I did or how I touched the screen or just why the box appeared.
I should have taken more time to read the four options in the box but as soon as I read the "voice option to reply" I touched it and sent my first voice (printed) message.
The box had four choices that were arranged in a square pattern: not in a list. It was a very small box.
What did I do to bring that box up?
I can't get it to happen again.

Evidently few if any people have seen this little box jump up before when texting.
I wonder if a developer would be kind enough to offer some insight to a newbie?
Ok.....I should have taken a screenshot of this box: but I didn't.
And I can't get it to reappear no matter what I do..
A dev knows all about what I'm referring to.....but it may be way down at the bottom of the list of interest.
Although we've heard it said that "there are no dumb questions" : that is usually said by people who already know the answers and they are being nice.
I don't like to leave posts at xda that make little sense and then when I find out what my inexperience left me wondering about just never follow up.
Who knows.....maybe someone else is also curious as to what I was talking about.
The "box" I was trying to access again was simply a Swift Key 3 keyboard stroke that allows you to shortcut a text message.
The SK3 symbol on the keyboard is the stroke I accidentally hit and was not prepared for (or had ever seen) its pop up prompt.
Hey all,
My first post here but I've been using your help for MANY years now! Please let me know if this is in the right place or if I'm doing anything wrong.
**Okay so I cannot post my screenshot because I haven't yet posted 10 posts. How can I get this screenshot across to you guys**?
With every text message and e-mail now, after updating to Oreo, I get THIS type of pop up in my home screen.
If I'm in another app and go "home", I cannot use my homescreen until I acknowledge this pop up. I have to either press the little trash can or ONLY the BACK button on my Note 8.
Additionally, I stopped receiving heads up notifications for both Text and E-Mail but I fixed this using the Heads Up Notifications App.
Please let me know how I can disable this home screen pop up?
