Weird issue I've been having with this combo.....
Sometimes, my texts come across jumbled symbols. My girlfriend pointed this out to me, and I thought it was just her iPhone, so I chalked it up to that and moved on.
Today, I texted my brother, also on Sprint with an HTC, and he mentioned the same thing.
Unfortunately this time, I cannot blame the iPhone.
Anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Stop typing typing a novel and type a sentence or two instead. (Under 160 characters.) CDMA has a limit of 160 characters and does not auto split like GSM does. There is a modified mms.apk from cm7 you could install which includes the split feature.

Handcent should have an option to auto-split messages at 160 characters. you need to enable that option in the handcent settings.

I was not typing typing a novel, it was a one-sentence text.
As mentioned above, Handcent will auto-split texts.

Just to clarify, you're pressing the little microphone, right?
Same thing happens to me...It used to work fine once I rooted my phone, but then about 2 weeks ago, I flashed it and rooted using a different method, and now it doesn't work.
Would also really appreciate a solution...

Just wondering, but do you have the Text to Speech library for android installed on your phone? I use handcent too but I never get this message. You mean where it speaks out the text you get right? I haven't found a way to dictate texts though
My handcent speech thing works ok to dictate texts but as an extra if you use the HTC_IME keyboard the speech function on that lets you dictate a text onto handcent, not sure what languages it supports tho and both can be a bit random on the translation from my voice to text.

Is there a way to have the new text messages move to to top on the list of text messages instead of scrolling threw all of the messages and looking for the ones with dots next to them
that is actually a Froyo 2.2 issue on the x after the move to froyo "supposedly" an OTA fix update is on its way out soon to adress the issues the X has after the 2.2 OTA update
only way i've found around it (until its fixed by moto) is to use a diff sms app. I use handcent and set the recieved message offset to -4.
I used to use Handcent, but there's so much overhead for that app that it runs so slow. I used it for months...then one day accidentally opened my native text app to find it was blazing fast! Never used Handcent again...

My stock messaging app stutters visually, and takes a good grip before it does anything. Handcent has never given me an issue.

When did this happen? Handcent use to be HORRIBLY slow for my X but in the last 2 months all the updates have made it alot faster.
If this has been posted before please delete, but I believe I have solved my issue with the physical keyboard missing keys. I turned off all the software keyboards and swype it seems to have done the trick.
Problem is I have to change it everytime I switch batteries. Is there a way to do thi?

Yes, I've read that swype (enabled) is most likely the culprit.

Bingo, it can be annoying at times. When typing long emails and texts, be sure to go back and proofread what you just typed (good practice anyway). Turning off swype did seem to help a bit.

would make it a software issue then..not hardware =D good to know
I was able to type several paragraphs with all the soft keyboards except for Swype disabled, and I don't have the missing key issue anymore. I simply disabled the Samsung and Android keyboards. I use Swype way too much to disable it.

I use keyboard manager to help with this...
Install keyboard manager along with touchpal from market free (completely).
I have Swype enable and have it set as my portrait keyboard
Then when I switch to landscape keyboard manager services changes my kb to touchpal in a fraction of a second without any interaction.
What awesome about touch pal is that it offers some of the best spelling correction word prediction with our hardware keyboards. Takes a while to get used to but by far is the best solution for me as not only does it fix the random keydrops but it also spell checks and suggests words on the fly.
I was using the Windows Mobile Version for a long time before changing to android, but absolutely love Swype for portrait one handed.
In a previous post I made I pointed out that the lag I found to be software and not hardware... if you long press on many letters you will get a popup instead of repeat keys these seem to be the cause of the drops, after using touchpal, if you long press a letter it quickly repeats.

Cool tip! Definitely want to try this... but searching in the Market, I couldn't find Keyboard Manager .. and not sure the Touchpal that comes up is what you're referring to. Is it still available?

Wow.
I unchecked the samsung and android keypad and tested it out. Updated twitter and FB without a hitch, no dropped characters! Very cool, and thanks for the tip. That's been driving me (and my wife) crazy!

It seems everytime I remove the battery and reinstall it that swype and the other keyboards are re-enabled. Is there anyway to keep them turned off?

I believe they need to be removed using sdx stock app removal.
Touchpal (chinese origin) privileges:
-full internet access
-record audio
-read contacts
Umm. I think I'll pass. I don't need the chinese keyboard reading my contacts, record audio, and send it back to the chinese developers...

Internet access to check for updates, record audio is for voice to text and contacts im not sure about but i think its for autocomplete to add to the dictionary. Check out Swype permissions same read contact data is there...
Trust me I have been using CooTek products for years they are a reputable company... Chinese or not.
PS you could try with another keyboard but I think the key is touchpal, all i can say is if the keyboard your using gets rid of the OS default popup that happens when you long press on a key it should work. I wish there was a dev that could just figure out how to disable this all together as it happens when there are no soft keyboards active,,, I am sure this is the cause to our missed keys try ee or oo in words 7/10 times it will miss if you are fast this is because its trying to determine the length of time the key was pressed to display the box of options.
I can't get keyboard manager to recognize touchpal as an option...any ideas?
NM, have to play with the actual system settings first
Hi,
yesterday, I've received an update which I've installed now:
AP,CP: I9505XXUAME2
CSC: I9505VFGAMDC
Since then, the stock email app is acting very weird. When writing text, as soon as you use any punctuation, exclamation mark, question mark... , the cursor goes crazy and jumps around, making weird corrections to text that has been previously written. Even just copy/pasting an URL into empty email and trying to enter new line will have weird, unusable result.
This bug is easy to repeat:
- open stock e-mail app (not gmail!)
- start writing a new email
- write a sentence in a language of yours (I've tried English, as well as my native language that's supported on the phone)
- as soon as you enter any of the following: . ! ? and press enter (new line), the just written sentence will get split in two and some random editing will be applied as well
Anyone else experienced such behavior? I'm on stock firmware,not rooted, stock keyboard.
Not keen to factory reset just yet, as it involves a looooot of re-setting everything
Thanks!

Very similar bug appears on mine too.
It renders this phone unusable for business purposed, Exchange client is totally broken.
I'm unable to respond to work emails!
What a disappointment, how could it pass QA????!!!

Installing Swype keyboard from the Google play solved this problem! It's some kind of bug in SwiftKey, stock keyboard is based on SwiftKey. There's incompatibility between stock keyboard and stock email client.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
At first I thought it was swiftkey causing the issues so then went back to stock and it did the same. The explanation above saying that stock is based on swiftkey may explain why.
I've since installed AquaMail as a stopgap....swiftkey and stock keyboard work as intended with this.
And, to be honest, even though aqua mail was going to be a temp solution, I'm quite, no, very much liking it and will probably continue to use it as my main client.

To wrap it up. There are two solutions:
1. change your keyboard to Swype or anything EXCEPT stock keyboard and SwiftKey
2. change your email client without need to change your keyboard (!!!)
It's an obvious bug that should be fixed in future software releases.
There is a third alternative
3. Disable the auto-correction option on the standard keyboard. The suggestion will stay on, so you can touch the corrected (or predicted) word to change what you typed, but it will not be inserted automatically when you touch only the space bar. Which is not too great a penalty

Same issue for me....is this what Samsung meant when it said the phone is a Life Companion - it will give you **** problems same as life does?
I have had my Gs4 for 5 months and a very annoying issue has recently arose.
Normally, while typing using the default Samsung keyboard it would remember commonly used words such as my email address or company name. Mysteriously this feature has disappeared. I checked under settings and both predictive text and personalized data are enabled. I haven't changed any keyboard settings and just forgot all my words and doesn't seem to be able to relearn them.
I was so frustrated that I went back to swiftkey. It learns my words perfectly but I have been really spoiled with the dedicated numbers row on the Samsung keyboard. I just wish it would work properly. Please help! Thanks.
