Droid 2 Global: symbols attach to last word when typing???

I have searched and did not see any other topics about this. Has anyone noticed a problem while typing on the Droid 2 Global (in text messages, browser, etc) that if you type special characters/symbols, they attach to the end of the word you previously typed?
For example, a normal sentence would type like this:
"Hey I'm running to the store & I'll call you later."
However, on the Droid 2 Global, it types like this:
"Hey I'm running to the store& I'll call you later."
The & automatically attaches to the end of the previous word, even when I press the spacebar before typing it.
This happens for all symbols I have typed. Sure I can go back and edit it, but it is SUCH a pain to go back and RE-ENTER the space, when I already pressed the spacebar in the first place. I have tried turning "auto-correct" off and it still does this while typing. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

This is a well-discussed issue on the Motorola Forums, see https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/316254#316254
for the same issue on the Pro.
It will be fixed in the next update, whenever that will be!  Unlike some other stuff though, we can be fairly sure that it WILL be fixed.  The Droid X had the same issue and the update to that did solve the problem.   One solution discussed there is to download Swiftkey (free) which alsosolves  the issue on  the physical keyboard.   Didn't work for everyone though.

  • RE: Global Object -- the last word

    Chris,
    You are correct. My apologies for not testing my reply sooner. The
    OLM.RegisterObject method does touch the NameService, but OLM caches
    registrations and therefor OLM.BindObject is a local call. So there is one
    network call, but that's all (unless the cache entries are aged out).
    Andrew,
    After testing all of the proposed solutions, using task.part.apptitle seems
    the easiest one to implement. Subclass from TextNullable and add an
    attribute to hold the reference to LocalCache. Remember, TextNullable can
    not be anchored.
    Caveat, you are relying on a Forte feature which may not be guaranteed to
    work the same way in the future.

    Possible problems with using task.part.appTitle.
    1) Isn't appTitle part of the task? If it is, what happens when the
    task goes across a partition boundary? Does the appTitle get serialized
    and deserialized by Forte? As long as the cache itself is anchored this
    reference held in the appTitle is only a proxy. (But a TextNullable
    cannot be anchored.) If the cache is not anchored, won't the entire
    cache get serialized and deserialized at each partition boundary?
    2) If the appTitle goes with the Task when it crosses a partition
    boundary, what happens when some piece of code in the other partition
    attempts to use the cache? If the cache was able to be anchored,
    wouldn't there a network hit at this point? Also, haven't you just lost
    the 'local'ness of the local cache.
    3) What about serialization problems when you enter a partition that
    does not know about the cache object. Won't you get a deserialization
    error when you enter a non-application partition such as the Node
    Manager or Forte's run-time compiler?
    4) Version 3 provides appContext which can be used to hold any Object.
    This should probably only be used for very small objects or anchored
    object that are used infrequently on a different partition. Since
    appTitle cannot be anchored, why would you use it rather than
    appContext (Version 2 is a different story)? AppContext appears to be a
    more generic solution to the global object problem, one that Forte will
    support. Neither AppContext nor appTitle appear to be solutions to a
    local cache problem.

  • Droid 2 Global Issues (And a trade in question)

    Hi,
    I have a Droid 2 Global, and it's alright. However, sometimes I don't receive texts. If I don't get any texts for a few hours, I restart my phone. Often enough, a flood of texts will come pouring in. My phone also restarts by itself several times a day. Also, my audio is a little strange. Whenever I play any kind of music on my phone, there are short bursts of static within the song. I have no idea why. Based on this, am I eligible to return my droid and get a replacement?
    I have the total coverage warranty, would I still end up getting a "like-new" replacement?
    And is there any way I would be able to get an HTC Trophy replacement instead of another D2G?
    Thanks

    Hi Nrcrast,
    If you are within 14 days of the activation of the Droid 2 Global, you can exchange it for a different device for a $35 re-stocking fee. If you are outside of the 14 days, then troubleshooting would need to be completed. If it is determined that a replacement device is going to be sent, it would be of the same model, as it is a warranty replacement. 
    With regard to the delay with messages coming in, I would like to ask if you keep your phone powered on most of the time? I ask because I have checked my references and I am not showing that this is a known issue with the Droid 2 Global device. 
    It is a good idea to get into the habit of powering the phone off and on once every couple of days, and not to leave it powered on for days or weeks at a time.  There is no need to leave the phone powered down for any significant amount of time, a minute or 2 is perfectly fine.  The reason for this is that every time a cellular phone powers on, it re-registers itself with the network.  There is a constant connection from the phone to the network, and this registration can sometimes "time out". This could resolve the issue with the delayed messages. 
    Your posting also mentioned that you hear bursts of static within a song. This is also not showing up as a known issue with the device. 
    Does this happen when playing downloaded music? Pandora? A different music application? 
    Is it happening with the same song, artist, or genre?
    Do you notice any pattern when it does happen. 
    Lastly, regarding the portion of your posting that mentions the phone re-booting, you may want to try a soft reset and/or a factory reset.
    Soft Reset
    Remove battery when the phone is powered on
    Wait 60 seconds
    Re-attach the battery and power back on
    Monitor the device
    If the soft reset does not resolve the issue, the next step would be a factory reset. I have listed the steps below. 
    Factory Reset
    Please note that this setting erases all data from your phone, including your Google or other email account settings, system and application data and settings, and downloaded applications. It will not erase current system software and bundled applications, or files stored on an optional installed memory card, such as music or photos. For this reason, please make sure the data on your device is backed up.
    Select Menu
    Select Settings
    Select Privacy
    Select Factory Data Reset
    Thank you for your posting and have a good day!

  • Two Droid 2 Global phones - Flaky since software update

    I have two Droid 2 Global phones which were purchased at the same time.  Ever since the last software update, which I believe was the Gingerbread update, these phones have been acting flaky in several ways with various features just shutting down and only a restart of the phone able to make them work again.  Both phones have been having the exact same problems so that leads me to believe it is likely software related.
    1) It quits ringing...even with ringing volume turned all the way up, incoming calls just don't ring. Same with text messages.  Restarting phone fixes the problem.
    2) The camera will take a picture, but when you go to look at it in the gallery, it is just a blank image.  Unless you go look at the gallery, you have no way of knowing the picture didn't take.  Once again, restarting the phone fixes this.
    3)  I have similar issues with the bluetooth.  I sync it up to my car stereo, but sometimes it just won't sync until I restart the phone.
    With the age of these phones, I suspect there are no more software updates on the way from Verizon.  Can anyone confirm that?  Unfortunately, the last software update also prevented <Deleted per the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service.>  Any suggestions on how to get these phones some sort of software update or useful again?  A phone that doesn't ring isn't much use.

        Hi jksoft,
    I know how troubling these difficulties can be especially when it's happening to two lines of service. I extensively researched this trouble in our database as well as Motorola's and was unable to find this as any known trouble. The gingerbread update was the last release for the Droid 2 and no expected changes as of now.
    Are you using the ringtones and notifications that are preloaded in the phone or the ones you have obtained elsewhere? If you haven't tried it yet, please use a notification tone and ringtone that is from the device itself. Let me know if this makes the device work correctly.
    The trouble with camera and bluetooth don't have troubleshooting steps other than doing a hard reset of the device. This will completely wipe out the device but items like contacts and media can be backed up. To complete the reset go to http://bit.ly/rqKDhh and follow the steps for the preferred method. Please keep us posted as we may need to file an investigation with Motorola to review this.
    Thank you,

  • Brand new droid 2 global there is a ? in the battery indicator

    hi i just got this droid 2 global last tuesday and today i noticed a ? in the battery indicator today. thinking it was odd i turned off and pulled battery, then put it back in. still there. when i put in the charger it tells me battery is not compatible with the phone. i switched batteries with my gf droid 2 global and the battery worked fine with hers, but her battery when put in mine still showed the ? in the indicator....plz help

    The ? indicates an issue with the battery, from your description it's hard to tell if you may have a bad battery or if it's an issue with the connection to your phone. Your best bet would be to tasked the phone back and get the whole thing replaced. If you do it before the new 14 day return window, you should be able to get a new replacement which would include a new battery. Beyond that, they may try to give you a refurb, which it's just as good as new, but normally doesn't include the battery or back cover. They will probably have you do a factory data reset first (menu> settings> privacy> factory data reset) so you may want to try that, but I have a feeling it won't help.

  • Droid 2 Global unlock to GSM ((

    Hello there!
    I have a big problem!
    I'm not from USA, I'm from Ukraine.
    I've bought Droid 2 Global A956 on Ebay. Seller said that it's already unlocked. I've received phone after 1,5months (so I couldn't open case cause time expired). And when I put my SIM - phone said "Enter unlock code" ((   I've contacted seller, but he says that phone was unlocked, he lied to me(
    I've tried to buy unlock code on ebay but that didn't worked!!
    Tell me please, how can I unlock my phone? Or where I can get unlock code?? ((

    Thank you.
    But I don't have a privilegue to sell on ebay..
    Tell me why.. why does VZW change friggin unlock codes??
    T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint does not do that!
    Is changing codes used by VZW to raise an army of haters?
    I have searched the web - and found many people with problem like mine.
    And all of them are speaking bad words in the direction of VZW.
    I like Motorola phones, cause they're exclusive in here, but I don't understand VZW politics!!!

  • Droid 2 Global-Cannot Send or Receive Text messages

    I have a Droid 2 Global and the text messaging is not working. Whenever I try to send a text I get a message that it has not been sent. I also asked a friend to text me, and the text did not come through. I tried rebooting the phone (removing the battery and such), but that was to no avail. I am unable to send or receive text messages. Does anyone have suggestions?

    Wow that must be very inconvenient! Do you know when you last able to send or receive a successful message? Are you able to send and receive e-mails? Is it possible you have a message blocking feature on your account? Are you using a third party messaging app or the standard messaging application from the handset?

  • Droid 2 Global Dialer Issues

    I just recently recieved my Droid 2 Global... at first things were working fine. Then my dialer stopped working.
    When you touch the button to open it, a blank screen will pop up, and then it will go back to the home screen.
    How can I fix this?!

    vvmb,
    Sorry you are having problems with accessing the dialer on your phone!  I would be happy to assist!
    This happens, usually, when there are too many applications running in the background.  This would cause the applications to use up the devices RAM memory, resulting in pre-installed apps like the phone dialer not to work at times.  I would first try "stopping any running applications" in the Applications Settings menu.  Then I would "reset applications" that may be conflicting with the dialer.  I would reset the "Dialer" application as well.  As a last resort, you can perform a "Hard Reset" of your device to clean the device's onboard memory.  This will not erase any data that is stored on your SD Memory Card, however, you want to ensure your data is backed up prior to performing the reset.  Make sure you know your Google/Gmail login credentials, and if you use Backup Assistant, your Backup Assistant PIN.
    Please post your results here to ensure other users experiencing the same issue can find a resolution.

  • Droid 2 global home screen glitching?

    I recieved my first droid 2 global and after about an hour of using it, the home screen would start flipping to another screen about every 2 seconds. And it would always be the last thing I selected. For example, if I was looking at my contacts and hit the "home" icon, it would go to the home screen for a few seconds and then flip back to my contacts and continue doing this everytime I selected "home." It would also not let me get to the app screen at all.
    I did run a virus scan, nothing came up and I didn't download a single app. About all I did was set up facebook for android and add a few contacts.
    I took it to a verizon store and the man there had no idea what it was, so after putzing with my phone for an hour including doing a factory reset, he said they'd send me a new one.
    BUT I had the same problem with the second phone and I'm completely frustrated and clueless. Anyone have any insight?
    [removed unnecessary links]

    ATT: NANCE, YOU SAID IT. I MEAN, YOU REALLY DID HIT IT RIGHT ON THE HEAD!!!      "
    My Droid x2 locks me out of my own phone, while in the middle of a text or phone call it just decides to lock itself.
    Unlocking my phone is a pain because the touch screen glitches as I try to draw in my lock pattern.
    My phone started muting itself on/off numerous times during a phone call with my boss >:(
    If I am lucky enough to get my phone unlocked and get to my home screen sometimes it begins selecting apps
    or m contacts or the dialer and then freezes.
    It restarts maybe 2-3 times a day. The one time I drop it (it started doing this after it fell off my lap as I stood up from sitting at a restaurant.)
    And finally just about a week ago it began to start deleting my own contacts..
    I loved this phone until it decided to run itself? I Still likr it though,

  • Droid 2 Global Massive Signal Fluctuations and unreliable data speeds

    I've had my Droid 2 Global since January now, and have been using it in Burlington, VT where I go to school since the middle of January, and speeds have been a bit slow, but technically within verizon's average speed estimates of 600-1400kbps on average. However The weekend before last my phone started getting really good signal consistently, always 4 bars, and 1200-2400kbps down nonstop day and night all weekend, which was honestly what I was expecting from Verizon all the time anyway given that my signal strength was always stronger than -70dbm where I was, and so I was happy. However Monday came and the signal became terrible again, ping went up to 500-1300ms, speeds were well below 600kbps all the time, and though speeds improved over the week, they never really reached what I would call normal until the weekend. But around that time my phone started jumping from G to 1x a bit and last night around 4 the phone freaked out, switched G and 1x constantly, couldn't use the market or speedtest or anything. I did a factory reset in the morning since the problem was still there, but then the phone refused to activate, and when I set it to "home only" mode for roaming it found no signal. Eventually when I was on the phone with Verizon support the phone activated, and G seems to be working okay now, but I still have jumpy signal, within my one dorm room, even if the phone is sitting in one spot next to me, it will happily jump from 4 bars to 3 to 1 to 3 to 2 to 1 to 3, all within a minute or 2. As a result speedtests show highly unstable download speeds. I am wondering if Verizon has a way to determine if it is my phone that is having issues or if it is the network up here. I get great signal when I go closer to the tower and don't usually have problems there, though speed can still be super slow sometimes.
    Sorry for the rant, just wanted to explain what's kind of been going on and get some feedback, some people are saying it's my phone, some the network, and the only ideas I've gotten are to go right below the tower and see if I have issues there, but if I don't, then either there is interference between my dorm and the network, or there is something wrong with the phone, but if the network is the problem then I wonder why sometime signal is stable, such as the weekend before last. Anyway thanks for any help anyone can offer.

    Just to confirm, when you say switching "G and 1X", you mean "3G and 1X"? 
    If it is actually saying "G", that means that you are picking up a GPRS signal from a GSM carrier, which would be very slow.  Unless you have had a major ToS violation (DroidBandUnlock), you shouldn't be picking up US GSM, so this would have to be a weak signal from Canada....

  • Droid 2 Global Apps Force Closing Constantly

    Hi, I had my Droid 2 Global for about a year. Last week, it started to lock up, and the screen began to randomly select locations and do sporadic scrolling. It was completely unusable. Fortunately (or so I thought) I was under warranty and got a free replacement. This phone has its own plethora of problem right out of the box. For starters, the speaker sounds like it was blown by the previous owner (it's factory re-certified, which they claim has a 100+ point inspection, you would think that the speaker would be one of those...), and additionally the apps on the phone constantly crash and close to the desktop. Most the the apps crash between immediately upon opening, or within 30 seconds. The most troublesome apps so far have been the stock Calendar and Browser apps, and Facebook. Those are 3 of my 4 most commonly used apps on my phone, so it's basically worthless to me now. I've only had this replacement for 6 days.
    I don't want to fork over 300 dollars plus pay for an early upgrade again (had to do that when my last android phone died after 53 weeks, with a 52 week warranty, to which Verizon said "Too bad, so sad." That's when I got the Droid 2 Global, which lasted about 54 weeks. I'm getting very suspicious here, though I try to avoid conspiracy theories. Does anyone have any ideas what may be causing this? I don't have many apps installed besides the stock apps that come on it, maybe 20 or so, half of which are various Google apps (Docs, Skymap, Voice, etc) I'm hesitant to try for another replacement because it will be another hassle and likely just another broken piece of junk.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

    The speaker problem is present at all volume levels, but is less noticeable if the volume is below about 25%.
    I had Lookout mobile security installed, so per your direction I uninstalled it and restarted the phone. Apps still randomly crash. Sometimes they will be open and work fine, and a few times a day they get into a rut where they crash quickly after opening, and will crash every time they are opened after that. It seems like if I pull the battery for 30 seconds, then replace and power on again the problem seems to go away. It has persisted with a regular power down/back on. All of the apps I have currently were on my original Droid 2 Global, and I never had this issue with apps crashing, so I don't suspect they they are the cause, but I won't rule it out.

    Hello brian_g05 I was very upset after reading your post. You should have a good replacement device! Yes our replacements do pass an inspection prior to being shipped out. There shouldn't be any issue with the speaker. Let's look into this with you. Do you have the device on the loudest setting? If so please turn down by 1 and retest. Do you experience this problem with device on speakerphone or when playing music? The problem with the applications crashing may be related to one of the 20 downloaded applications or a combination of the applications. Do you have any antivirus or advanced task killer applications installed? If so please remove and retest. Please power the device in safe mode and see if it crashes when using the browser. Here's a link for safe mode: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=37821 Please try these steps and let me know if you still run into any issues.

  • Droid 2 Global - No Data Connection

    I own a Droid 2 Global, and I am unable to get a data connection. This problem started yesterday morning. The phone was connected fine the previous night, but I was unable to connect the next morning. I have bars, but no 3G or 1x symbol on the top of the screen. I was able to receive text messages, but I could not send them. I checked that the data connection was enabled under settings. I eventually did a Factory Reset. Since I was able to reactivate the phone, I assume I can send and receive calls fine. Following the rest of the activation steps, I had to connect my phone to my wifi in order to complete them, since I still had no data connection. I tried dialing *228 (I tried both options 1 and 2). I just tried dialing ##PROGRAM and making sure the data option was checked.
    I am out of ideas, and I've searched pretty thoroughly for an answer. Does anyone know what to do?

    vxcx2006,
    I can certainly understand the frustrations with your 3G service issues!  Based on the information you have already provided I would need to file a trouble ticket with our network engineers for your line to see what can be done to improve your 3G signal.  I will send you a message, and you can reply with the necessary account information so I can get this resolved for you.

  • Droid 2 Global crashes when GPS utilized

    I recieved my Droid 2 Global last week and from the first day it would give me a black screen if I had GPS on and used a program that used the GPS signal.  The weather widget, google maps, and even going to google.com from the browser will cause the phone to lock up and reboot.  If I disable GPS it doesn't ever seem to crash but as soon as I turn it on and go to google or other app that uses location the phone reboots.  I have rebooted it in safe mode and it still continues to crash is GPS is used.
    Doing a search on Droid 2 Crashes with GPS turned up a number of people with the same problem but I hadn't seen anyone with definitive answer as to how to fix the problem.  I can't call tech support because my cell is the only phone I have access to and you can't tech support the phone while you're talking to VZ on it. 

    You can also get support by taking phone into a store for assistance.  I have provided a link for our store locator below:
