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.
I'm running Galaxy Task 14 Slim on my Tab and in the browser (only place where I've noticed it) the cursor (blinking line to input text) won't show up anywhere expect the adress bar. I can still input text but dont see where I'm typing. I'm assuming this is due to the white text field not showing the white cursor. Has anyone else noticed this or has a fix for this problem. I am also using the stock HC keyboard. Thanks!!!
I've noticed the same thing and just never figured it as a "problem".
I use a slide-it keyboard mostly so it happens on other keyboards too.
I only have the cursor not show in some places so it's just those apps with the problem. Like you said white on white is a real possibility.
Thanks for the reply, wanted to make sure it wasn't just me experiencing this. I mean its not a huge deal but its just weird editing text and filling out forms without it.
yeah it's annoying when it happens. find myself clicking in boxes I'm already in. Quite often a few times before I remember the problem. LOL

Does anyone else have problems with the font size in the mail and messaging apps? No matter what I set the fonts to in the e-mail app they always display as extra large. Well, almost always. Once or twice they did display as small, which is what I have selected, but almost instantly reverted to extra large. Going to settings still shows "small" is selected. Same issue with Messaging. Font size is set to small, but the fonts are still displayed as normal or large. Every now and then they will display as small for a couple of hours and then mysteriously go back to large.
I remember seeing some similar issues with the One X when it was released on AT&T, but I don't see that anyone is talking about it anymore. And I don't see that anyone has really mentioned it with the EvoLTE. Is there some fix that I am missing? Or this just not happening for everyone else? It makes e-mails almost unreadable at times for me. I tried using the stock ICS email app, but don't really care for that since it seems to lack the peak/non-peak sync options and was not displaying the unread message count on the app icon.
Any help would be appreciated. I know custom ROM's are on their way but for now I would like a way to make this work with the stock HTC mail app. Possible?
Take two fingers in the app one in one corner and the other adjacent usually bottom right n top left and move them closer should zoom in and out it has happened to me before n I was like wth

Can't zoom out. Can zoom in further, however that is pointless as things are already too big. Screen shots attached.
Interesting...
I am thinking about ruu'ing back to stock and seeing if that makes a difference. I have previously tried a factory reset with no luck, but maybe flashing it will help. Probably not, don't know what else to try. I know two other people with this phone that both have the same problem. Odd that no else seems to have this issue.
I just switched my font size in SMS. Will report back if it reverts.

my brothers evo is having this problem
Man I'm having the same issue! I guess few ppl are experiencing this issue. Anyway, I'll post my issues below...
I want to make sure I'm not crazy...
I have 2 questions about email:
1) My font size appears to be too large. I've tried adjusting it to the smallest font, but that's still too large. I can't seem to reduce the page (font size - by pinching like I could on my OG EVO). I can only read most emails in landscape mode. With my OG EVO, I could adjust the page, just like I could adjust a page (size) on the internet. I've only been able to read emails in landscape... Is anyone else experiencing this issue? If so, were you able to fix it? FYI - I have three email accounts setup (Gmail, Hotmail, & Y mail), and it happens in all of them.
2) I cannot toggle back and forth to the next or previous email while I'm reading an email. I could do this while I was reading an email with my OG EVO, as there were up and down arrows at the bottom of the screen. This seems really dumb. Has anyone figured this out? Am I missing something? I can't swipe anywhere in the email to send me to the next or previous email (just in case you were going to ask). This happens with all of my email accounts.
Just by chance did you make sure the font size under settings/display is also small? There is a global setting there as well.

This is really stupid. You have to hit the menu button and then choose previous/next EACH TIME. Where the hell did the up and down buttons go? WTF HTC? Speaking of issues with the mail app, did they remove the option to automatically display pictures in emails? There was a check box on my OG Evo and it is nowhere to be found in the LTE's mail app.
I'm having this same issue (large font in Mail app). Phone is completely stock. It's REALLY annoying.
Same issue. No matter how many preview lines I choose! It shows 2. Can't reduce to 1. And text is huge, no matter what setting. Slayer, no, haven't tried the global setting, but honestly dont wanna change the global setting, just the email setting. I'm sure a SW update will fix it. I'm not stressed about it.
sent from my Evo LTE, usually.
Yep, same thing I'm experiencing too. Can make the font bigger, but not smaller. This clearly has to be a bug. Hope they fix it soon...

Tried that, but it didn't work. Didn't seem to impact the email font size at all. It made my internet font size smaller, but I didn't need that changed.
Sent from my EVO using XDA
I'm just dumbfounded at all this... No, I didn't see the option (display pictures) in the general settings, only in each email. The lack of back/forth arrows just makes no sense to let at all. Wonder who they consulted about these email changes?!

I guess no one has figured this out yet... I almost forgot about this, but stumbled upon this today while in the forum. I figure we'll all just have to deal with it until HTC sends out an update?!
I've been having this problem too (I'm completely stock), but mine changes from time to time. I have my font sizes set on the smallest possible and usually that means that they're still kind of big. But occasionally I'll load up the text messaging app and get ridiculously tiny text. "Zooming in" makes it bigger, but not nearly as big as the fonts get normally. And then, the next time I load up the app the font sizes are MASSIVE.
It's almost like my phone has two sets of font sizes, one smaller than the other but both using the same nomenclature ("small", "normal", etc.), and switches between them when it wants to. Mildly annoying, but annoying nonetheless.
Interesting, I've had the same font size issue in the stock Mail app. There is an option in Settings > Sync, Send & Receive to view messages as either HTML or plain text.
I wonder if the difference is the way the email is formatted by the sender, if they use HTML vs plain text, if that is what affects the way this device displays the message contents.
Just a thought.

This is definitely the case - I've noticed that this happens ONLY when one of the emails in the thread was sent as plain text.

That's not the case for me. I actually notice it more in the Messaging app than the Mail app.
I'm selecting to have my voice input button to be visible, yet it's not there when I go to text.. any suggestions? A setting I'm missing? thanks.
I'm having this exact same problem.. Any solution? I've searched the S3 forums and cant find an answer yet?
I figured this out!!!
While texting someone, click and hold the little GEAR icon that is to the left of the space bar on the virtual keyboard, and it will bring up multiple icons above it, drag over to the microphone then it should replace the gear icon there from now on.
Maybe this is an android thing. I'm using the stock keyboard on Skyraider 1.3 with no other mods. It behaved the same on stock and Froyo. I don't use any prediction at all, so the experience is as manual as can be. I have used swiftkey before but I don't remember it behavind better.
I cannot type as fast as I want because sometimes the letters overwrite as I type.
For example:
I type "gotcha"
It comes out as "gotca"
As far as I know it doesn't seem to happen more often with any combos of letter, but I'm not sure I'd notice if it did.
Sometimes the cursor will jump back a few spaces as I type. It's almost like a reverse TAB.
Also, when I'm typing sometimes the keyboard loads and drags the screen far below where I'm working. So much so that I cannot see what I'm typing. So, I exit out of the keyboard, scroll back up, manually place the cursor, and as soon as I type...bam it goes to the bottom of the screen again. I think this happens most while using a browser or e-mail client. And tapatalk.
Lastly, with my SMS messages sometimes it'll completely wig out and bring up the message log of the person I'm typing to prompting me to delete what I have check boxed, which thankfully is nothing.
What's going on here? Is it user error?
Duely blundered from my thunderdolt.
I think your typing issue is from accidently moving the cursor while hitting keys on the top row. I do it frequently, its either that or accidently hitting word suggestions, which is why i turned mine off to, that is far more annoying.
I also have that problem with not being able to see what I'm typing in certain apps. I think its just an app problem, oversight by the developers.
