Texting Auto-correction

Has anyone noticed with the Droid X if you type "I'm" it is left as "im" or "I" is left as "i" instead of correcting itself like it is done on other smartphones?  I've tried making sure "I'm" and "I" is added to the custom dictionary but it still doesn't auto correct like it should.  I have confirmed with other Android owners their phone auto corrects those words, seems it's only a X problem. I am VERY disappointed in my Droid X.   :smileysad:

Try downloading the Handcent app from the Android Market. It auto-corrects and spell check words. HTH!!

The suggestion that an app should fix a simple spelling autocorrection problem seems remarkably odd. 

 

I too am baffled by my Droid X failing to correct "im." It replaces it with "i'm" but not "I'm" -- frankly, that's bizarre, and I'm not about to install a SMS application to fix a fundamental dictionary flaw.

Why should I have to download an app to fix a problem on the phone?  I think an update needs to be released fixing this problem.  It's supposed to be a "SMART PHONE"....guess it's not so "SMART" huh?  Droid DOESN'T!

I just downloaded the Handcent and when I went to use the auto text it's all greyed out, I can't even select it to make my own personal spell check like i to I or im to I'm.  So I uninstalled.  Can't seem to find another similiar ap that would work for my droid x

A workaround to this problem is....

 

"i" (swype above the keyboard to make it CAP)  "'" (swype down to the period/apostrophy) "m"

not perfect, but it works.
