Is anyone else having an issue with replying to a text message and when you enter a "?" mark or other ending, it chops off the last letter of your last word and replaces it with the punctuation mark you entered? (I use Swipe typing mostly, by the way).
Example: I type "Are you going for a run" and then I hit the "?" key. It changes it to: "Are you going for a ru?"
Am I doing something wrong? Or is this a bug?
I did see this several times and it happened to me when I used period or comma as well.. I guess it is a bug! Didn't like the fleksy keyboard that much, maybe I should give it another try..
This happens to me with the flexy keyboard..when i type gear s it changes it to gear a. I think it migh be some type of autocorection but i can't find a way to turn it off.

i have a htc touch pro cdma and in input/setting word completion tab i have * add a space after word enabled... but when i am texting and i pick an auto completion word it places the word in my text but never adds the space... anyone know where in the registry where i can check to make sure its enabled...? driving me crazy
It has me flabbergasted as well: no space, really messed up in the word completion department! And lately, when I use the hard keyboard, the entries I make are invisible. Or when I text, the suggested words are invisible - the box is there, the words are in there, but it "appears" as a blank box. I'm saying they're there, because when I select one and hit enter, it gets typed.
Really irratic!
there has to be a spot in the registry that has a 0 for spacing and it needs to be set to a 1 .... i would think .... but i know the experts on this site would def know more.. can anyone please comment if they have an idea?
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.
Not sure how long this has been happening for, probably since I got my S3 actually, or when Swype released the last update.
I've installed Swype Beta, currently on version 1.0.3.5809 but it's not working correctly.
When I enter a word wrong (or rather when Swype doesn't guess the word I tried to enter) and carry on, I used to be able to tap the incorrect word later, tap the Swype key, and then the word would be highlighted for me to either swipe again or type in a correction.
This no longer happens all the time - about 50% of the time instead of highlighting the word it just jumps to the left hand side of the word. This means I then have to move the cursor back to the right hand side of the incorrrect word myself, delete it and type again.
This is extremely annoying. Anyone else experiencing this?
I have a Nexus 4 running stock 4.2.1 (rooted) and here is my issue with the gesture typing and predictive text. Anytime I try to use a word that google apparently believes is not appropriate like "****" I have to stop and and type it out. Mind you that spell check does not think it's a misspelled word so there is no option to add it to the User Dictionary. It just will not show up as an option for either predictive text or gesture typing. Obviously these words have somehow been identified in google's stock dictionary so that they are not part of the pool of suggested words - probably along the lines of how the auto-complete of google searches are now censored.
Does anybody have a workaround for this? It's incredibly annoying and I don't like the fact that google is dictating what standard English words can and cannot be part of gesture typing.
One thought I had was that the stock dictionary probably has those words marked with a simple boolean flag, so if somebody knew how to access the dictionary and reset that flag, the problem would be solved. I don't know much about android development but this can't be too hard. If I had the time I'd undertake the project myself.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Hey yeah I had the same problem... It's stupid that they blocked swear words... The only thing I figured out to get past it is that if you type in any word that isn't in the dictionary and select to add it you can type in anything you want, before confirming adding the word, including swear words and then you can type them with gesture typing. At least it works on my rooted Verizon galaxy nexus running jb 4.2.1 sorcery v4... Peace...

How do you add words to the dictionary? I'm very Android literate, and have been using Swype for a long time. The problem I have is that sometimes when I press on a word that it suggests, but doesn't recognize, it will give me the option to add it to the dictionary. Other times it will bring a box up above the word with several suggestions. It seems erratic and not very consistent.

Settings >> language and input >> Personal dictionary and then add in whatever swears/words you want and it'll work when using the gesture typing. At least it works for me.
Thanks for the reply.
Anyone else having problems since it became a paid app with it lagging a decent amount of time upon opening?

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.
