Hey guys, I'm asking this question in behalf of a co-worker. Her phone is brand new, stock, no root or any mods.
She starts typing in the internet address bar and, where it drops down and shows you previous Web addresses, that text is all garbled. It does it in the standard browser as well as her twitter app.
She doesn't know anything about phones so she exchanged it for a new one and it does the same thing. I've never had any problems like that on mine and I can't find anything similar on Google.
She is running the newest OTA from Rogers.
Any ideas what could resolve this?

which language she was typing?

English. The drop down text just becomes all garbled. White squiggly lines, hard to explain.

About 80% of the time I type in a new text field, 'goo' will appear as soon as I start typing.
Anyone else getting this? Had the problem before I rooted, then it went and its come back again.
Sorry if this has been posted before.
Can't search on the xda app.

I seem to get this randomly as well but not 'goo', it's usually the start of something I have typed recently.
I guess you type google in a lot?
Not massively so. This has been the only word that has appeared with the problem. Never had the beginning of another word.

What app are you using for texting? How long are the messages you're sending?
If they're simple couple word texts, I don't know what to say, but if you get to the point where a text becomes longer than three messages, sometimes, depending on the app, it will force it to MMS instead.
We need a bit more info to see what's going on.
It's a simple text. Just a few words maybe a sentence. I'm using stock texting app. It only does it when I send it to my wife. No one else.

Predictive text and autocorrect isn't working on the tmobile galaxy s. i get the predictive text list but i have to manually select the best match. It works differently on htc and misspelt words are not indicated or corrected. can anyone confirm this?

Works fine.

Works fine here.
I get the predictive text list but it does not auto select the best match. I have to select the match. That's how I think it is suppose to work Iike it does on htc phones. On htc all i have to do is press the spacebar and it completes the word. Also there is no autocorrect happening. Misspelt words are not underlined or corrected.

Well that sucks. I hope they can fix this. Is there a way to return to the previous build? My phone came already updated. I had a Samsung phone with sprint 2 years ago and swore I would never buy Samsung again after so many software bugs and delayed upgrades but decided to take a chance. Already regretting it.

Did you go into input settings?
Of course the setting is on.

I have the exact same problem and my phone also came updated. Try SwiftKey its so much better!!! Haven't looked back ever since I installed it and I think the trial lasts 30 days. In SwiftKey settings let it learn from ur texts it doesn't send any data but just analyzes it to help prediction

I love this keyboard because of the auto correct feature and the amount of options you can choose. For some reason while I'm typing sometimes it will do double letters and it's at random. Sometimes it will look like this "HHey what aree you doing?" Am I the only one with this issue. Using it on my completely stock AT&T galaxy s3.

I haven't experienced that issue but it will ocasionally say I hit a letter than I didnt

It's my favourite keyboard, I use it every day in the past 10 months or so, didn't have this problem either. (Used it on atrix, vivid and hox). Maybe the screen is a little too sensitive?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
There is no way of adjusting the sensitivity of the screen from my understanding. I just am curious if I'm the only one to have this problem or if someone else has experienced it at all doing the same thing. I don't know I'll try not typing so light and see if that makes a difference. If someone has had this problem and they fixed it please let me know how.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Has anyone seen if maybe it's the speed at which you're typing. If I type slow its not so bad. If I start typing faster it starts putting the double letters. Just trying to figure this out. Thanks for the information in advance.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I have the same issue. I type pretty fast and it always has that double letter issue and even sometimes has double words even though I only enter it once. I decided to stick with the stock ics keyboard from the play store which works great without any typos with my quick typing

Who is the developer of the keyboard you're using?

I definitely have this issue, and am using 4.6.00.147 version of the app (the most recent I believe) as I don't see any update in the Play Store. I love this keyboard, but this part of it is very frustrating. So much to the point that I went back to the stock AOSP keyboard, but I want this to be fixed.
EDITED: I've reached out to the developer to see if there is any idea on what's causing/how to fix. I will post any updates if I get any that are constructive.
I just downloaded and installed an aosp CM based ROM. Absolutely love it.
But I do have one issue.
When I receive a voice mail I'm not getting the icon in the notification bar. Instead I'm getting a text message that seems to be coming from my number. Can anyone help figure out why this is happening. I can deal with it. But its quite annoying.

Bump.

I don't think it's an actual text message, although it looks like one. Same thing happens on my Nexus 4 with the Validus ROM.
