Hi all,
I love my Desire, but one little thing keeps niggling me -
when you press the search button, and enter some text into it, you have to get every letter exactly right, whereas on almost every other text box, you get the pop up suggestions, and it auto-corrects typos and chooses the most likely word.
It also seems to not autocorrect on google.com search (on the web) either, whilst it does in multiline text boxes (like when you're posting on the forum here).
Is there any way to turn proper typing on for the search field, it is dead annoying.
I can cope with it being a hack to fix this - I've got a rooted desire (running Froyo/Modaco at the moment), and I don't mind fiddling around in code / repacking apk files or whatever if I have to.
Joe
Hello,
I've had this issue from day one and now I'm finally getting around to posting about this. I use Goggle chrome in incognito mode (yeah I'm paranoid) at work. Chrome opens up with my 15 websites I visit often in tabs and with every single one of them I need to log in using the appropriate account. xdadevelopers is the ONLY website which will log me off even while I am active on the forum. To be honest XD is the only forum that even logs me off if I am inactive but that's another discussion.
I searched and found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11902604&postcount=1
But while related it's not my problem. This happens to me whether I am inactive or not. EX: I can be going from one forum to the other and in between these functions I will go from being logged in to not being logged in. Or I can click on a post and go from being logged in to not just in the time it takes to display the post.
Like I said I've been living with this but it it a bit of a PITA to have to log in a dozen times a day sometimes.

I believe XDA uses a short session time-out, given the huge number of users online at a time.
That might be your issue since the cookies are not being saved in incognito...
I know this is a basic response, but first try the XDA forums in normal Chrome. Then try Firefox, IE, Opera, etc. and see if you get the same result.
First of all, I can't say how much I LOVE the 'Similar Threads we found' popup when posting a new thread title. Brilliant.
My problem is not unique to this forum. I've wanted to respond to a thread or post a new one, worked at it for a while, clicked on either 'preview' or 'post,' and lost a good chunk of time's work when the server logged me off and didn't let me page back to save my text. Everytime it happens I swear I'm going to get some kind of keystroke saver, that I'll NEVER let it happen again, yet it does.
I don't know if there's an easy fix, but just being able to save that text would save a lot of screaming (I can't be the only one this has happened to). Many thanks on an excellent forum!

This probably happens to all of us from time to time. Of course it's most likely to happen if it takes you a long time to write your post. You likely then suffer from a timeout for apparent inactivity and get logged out.
The golden rule is, whenever you are making a longish post ALWAYS copy it into your PC memory BEFORE clicking send/post etc., as a precaution in case you have been logged out. You cannot rely on going back a page and hoping the text is still there. You should always copy into memory at any time the server appears slow as well, due to the fact it may not be able to process the post at the time you press send.

when you sign in do you click that little box that says something about staying logged in?
When on secure computers I run, I tick to stay logged in. It has not been an issue for me for a good while. If you take over an hour it might complain...
But just hit ctrl+C before posting
Also, chrome seems good at letting me hit back and still have my post
I am subscribed to several threads on the forum with "instant email notification". When I get an e-mail notification, the link ends in
Code:
....&goto=newpost
For some reason, this seems to always take me back to the lat post I read before I subscribed, which is often many pages from the end of the thread. Even if I page through everything to the last post, it still takes me many pages before the end.
I've tried unsubscribing and resubscribing to the threads but it has no effect.
Is there something I can go to "reset" what the forum thinks I've read?

Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone else is getting this problem today or if it's just me.
I logged on this morning as I do everyday and when I tried replying to someone it told me I'm not logged in, so I typed in my details again and that same page continued to show until I shut my browser and opened another session. This let me log in but still when I try to reply to a post or even when I tried to view my control panel it logged me out and wouldn't allow me back in until I started a new browser session.
I've been monitoring it during my lunch time session and have had to close down and re-login multiple times but noticed also when looking through threads it was logging me out and in automatically from page to page.
I've tried both chrome and IE and both behave the same way. Thankfully I was able to post this so am hoping it stops doing it.
If it makes any difference I'm on the 2013 theme and I've never had this happen before today.
Thanks
I am using Firefox and I haven't seen that problem except at the very beginning of my time here last year, and then just a few times until it cleared up.

It seems when I have the "Remember me" box unchecked the problem arises but since ticking the box it isn't happening. I don't generally have remember me ticked while on work PC's but as said never happened before so hopefully just a glitch on my side.
Thanks
I am getting it too on my work PC (who knows what browser they use, it so filtered) but I also got that on my home PC (Firefox).
Frankly, it is making it unusable for me atm b/c I have to do all the steps you said above just to post. If I want to post multiple times in different threads, it can take more time to post the message than it did to type it. I've resorted to typing the message, then copying it and hitting post just to be kicked out, re-log in and clear caches/cookies and paste and post. It is a real PITA.
I've tried on 2010, 2013b and 2013b1024 just in case it was a theming issue. Am not having that problem on any other forums or outside internet sites that I have logged into but I have noticed it over the past two days, as well.

Did you try ticking "Remember me" when logging in as sorted it for me, I just had to remember to log out when I finished.
Well, let's see here.
Edit: No dice. Logged me out again. Tried it with Remember Me ticked and unticked.
Edit2: In fact, I just went to my tablet forums and it showed me as logged out. Then I clicked the XDA in the top corner to come back to this thread and it shows me as logged in. Must be ghosts in the machine.
Edit3: Now it is showing me as logged in right now, so I tried to go to the RC forums and got denied. Pulled up my phone forums in the Find Your Device (because I thought it might be something to do with my favorites/bookmarks) and it shows me as logged off. If I open the About XDA-Developers page, I am logged in.
Edit4: Sorry about these edits. I am only logged into THIS THREAD and not About XDA-Developers. I just got a PM and can't read it b/c it logs me out.
I've been experiencing this since Tuesday morning. Both in Chrome and Firefox. I've changed nothing and log in the same way as always. Happens when I try to reply and view my subscriptions. Tapatalk is the only way I can view and reply to anything right now.
Edit - this is happening both at home and work.

Same here guyz.... Have tried different browsers on different operating systems.... Same thing.... Anybody found the reason.... Or a solution?

This is happening to me too. I can get on once in every 100 attempts. I have tried everything, including changing browser, ip, computer, switching to xda 2010 and back, and ticking the remember me.
It's been happening to me for the last few days, I just ticked remember me, now I'm in for once!
The solution for this is to click the "Remember me" box when logging in. This is an issue that seems to have arisen due to a change in infrastructure on our end (I believe). It doesn't seem to impact all accounts however, just some of them.
If anyone has this issue after checking the "Remember me" box, please let me know.

Yes happening to me. If I clean everything in history of my browser, any browser, it logs me once. Immediately like I would post now it would log me out. It is happening in all the browsers with my account.
After getting logged out. When I again try to login, it would show a popup showing you are being logged in as nagpalkapil but would again not log e in and come out until I clean everything from history again including cookies etc. Has started happening for just last two days and was perfect before. Please help urgently on it.
