GRR! I'm tired of dealing with this annoyance.

I almost exclusively use the hardware keyboard (why I got this phone over the X). I've turned off all auto correct settings available. Yet for some reason, it keeps acting strange with dollar signs and quotation marks. If I type "I need $3" as soon as I press the $ sign, it deletes the space in front of it so it looks like "I need$". Then I have to backup, add a space back in front of it, and then finally type the 3. It does the same thing with quotations. In fact, its happening as I post this. The sentence above got autoformatted to: ...it looks like"... Its so GD FRUSTRATING!

Does this happen to anyone else? Why havent I seen a single person complain about this? How can I correct it? Thanks so much to anyone with some insight!
 
This happened with me untill I started useing the Gingerbread keyboard from the market.

Let me test " it now $.

Great success! But the software keyboard is microscopic though, so thats not good. How is it not like that on yours? Anyone else?
 
SwiftKey is loaded, testing now $ ". Awesome! Thank you so much for the tip. I'm glad I finally broke down and posted. Droidforums always comes through.
 
I'm using Swype and sometimes when I press the letter 'a' on the hardware keyboard it performs a 'select all' function. I can't consistently duplicate the bug though. Running Fission 2.4.3.

This happens to me also. I just got the phone though... and you are correct, turning off autocorrect does nothing. It is a bit of a pain sometimes. I guess if I texted more it would be more of an issue.
 
I only use the hardware kb and have yet to run into any issues and im using fission 2.4.3,

I have the same problem with the $ signs. I downloaded the Swiftkey and it didn't do anything. Any other ideas??

Thanks,
Josh
