IPhone 5 trouble with words being deleted as I text

When I start texting, all of a sudden my phone starts deleting whole words that I just typed in...automatically. Out of nowhere. It will also add periods, double letters, etc. This just started happening today, and I've had the phone since it first came out.  Any suggestions on how to correct this?  Thanks!

Yeah I went to the 3 store and they said that it costs if they find it's a software issue (which I believe isn't fair). However, after sending mine off and having it back exactly the same I headed off to the 3 store and asked to see what they could do for me. Of course, they can't touch Apple phones so they kindly phoned Apple again for me to only say that Apple have NO record of me even sending my phone off even though I have written and e-mail proof. They then said that they replaced my phone in which they didn't. So I spoke to the senior supervisor who said for me to send it off again (yawn) but to be replaced and if it doesn't then I have to e-mail her directly. It's such an annoying issue because I'm still paying for my phone when I can't even use it.
My advice is, definitely go to the store. Even-though they can't actually replace it there and then or send it off themselves to be repaired but they (should) phone up Apple and help you further. Apple shouldn't be asking you for such an upfront cost without even looking at your phone as it could be another issue.
That's me up to date. Sending it off tomorrow, hopefully receive a replaced working phone now.

  • Just bought a brand new Airport Extreme and having trouble with it being recognized. I have a Mac version 10.5.8. Is my computer compatible?  I have the Airport Express now and it works fine.

    Just bought a brand new airport extreme and having trouble with it being recognized.  My mac is version 10.5.8.  What should I do?

    The new AirPort Extreme needs the 6.x version of AirPort Utility, which comes packed in with Lion 10.7.5 or Mountain Lion 10.8.x......or......you can also configure the device using an iPhone or iPad running a recent iOS.
    From Apple's Specifications:
    Setup and Administration
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
    A few options.....
    Borrow another Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion for 10-15 minutes and set it up. The Mac running 10.5.8 will be able to connect to the wireless....but it will not be able to make any changes to the configuration of the Extreme.
    Update to Lion or Mountain Lion.....but check first to make sure that your Mac will support the operating system first.
    Use....or borrow an iPhone or iPad to set up the Extreme

  • I am having trouble with iMessage being activated. It has worked up until yesterday and now won't activate and is saying no address in the send and receive section. My number is there but not ticked. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    iMessage and FaceTime went down yesterday for some people. Mine is still down. My iMessage is saying the same thing about being activated. Sounds like you are still down too. Ignore the status page that says everything is fine - it lies.

  • Trouble with Office being slow...

    I have an iMac with 16 gb of RAM and have trouble with Office being slow... is there a way that I can assign more memory to MS Office, so I can utilize all the RAM that I have available?

    Sig,
    My hard drive has approx 1.5 TB Free. And the iMac has around 9 GB Of RAM (out of 16GB) in the green
    on the activity monitor.  I know in older versions of the operating system, one could assign
    more RAM to an open application, thus allowing the app to access more memory when needed
    such as having huge amounts of text on the clipboard.

  • For iphone users with att, can you block incoming texts all together? After paying $20 for data i dont want to pay as i go/pay more for texts

    For iphone users with att, can you block incoming texts all together? After paying $20 for data i dont want to pay as i go/pay more for texts

    SMS is exchanged over the same network as calls - no data involved.
    MMS requires data.
    iMessage requires the same as email - internet access via an available wi-fi network or via your carrier's cellular data network.
    You can disable SMS/MMS altogther with your account by requesting this with AT&T. You can turn iMessage off unless your iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network.

  • Issue with emails being deleted from my Yahoo mail folders

    Hi, I am experiencing an issue where emails are being deleted from my Yahoo mail folders when the weekly Sunday night purge of the Yahoo Trash folder is carried out by Yahoo. These are mails that have been moved from my inbox via the iphone mail app.
    I have a similar problem with Outlook 2010 on my laptop but not with Outlook 2003 on my desktop.
    When I move the emails from my inbox I have noticed that using Outlook 2003, the moved email is left in my inbox in "strikethrough" mode whereas on Outlook 2010 it is deleted from my inbox. I subsequently purge the marked email from my inbox in 2003.
    I am able to see and access the emails in the folder I have moved them to until after midnight on Sunday when they dissappear. The emails moved via 2003 are ok and not lost.
    Funnily enough when using an earlier version of the iphone mail app I remember that I could see emails in "strikethrough" mode in Outlook 2003 when they had been moved via the iPhone mail app but you don't see that now.
    It feels like some sort of pointer issue to me ...... any ideas on how to stop this happening?.

    This is now fixed !!!! I am not sure how though :-((
    I reported the problem to Yahoo and in the process of them investigating the issue my sub-folders suddenly became invisible via my IMAP connection and then also were invisible on-line following a log out and a log in. After my initial panic, I contacted Yahoo who were able to restore my complete account. Since then, the problem has gone away.
    I have been testing this for two weeks and all is working perfectly from whatever device I use to connect to my mail (IMAP or via my browser).
    Phew!

  • My deleted emails on iPhone 4s are not being deleted from server

    I'm facing a problem with my iPhone 4s when deleting emails. Unfortunately, they are not being deleted from the server. I tried setting the account in pop and imap with settings to delete from server and trash ticked. Still they keep on appearing in Outlook which is a double work to do. Please advise.

    I'm no expert by far, but have had issues with this before.
    IMAP should allow your iPhone to remove messages from the server.
    But have you made sure both the iPhone and Outlook are connecting via IMAP?
    If your iPhone does remove the messages from the server, but your computer is using POP, then the computer may download the email before it is removed form the server by your iPhone.
    This was my issue, that my computer had already downloaded the message, and POP does not check later if it is deleted.
    If you delete a message from Outlook does it disappear on the iPhone?
    Alternativly you may need to check the email server settings.
    Who is your email provider?
    They may be able to check if IMAP allows you to remove emails.

  • Is anyone else having trouble with reminders being automatically deleted/changed in ios7?

    Since upgrading to ios7, I've noticed the reminders app decides randomly to delete certain entries, duplicate entries and even change alert times - which is really quite disconcerting if you rely on this app as I do (or did in ios6 anyway......)
    Anyone noticed anything similar or is it just lucky old me and my seemingly intelligent and becoming wholly independent of me, iPhone?!

    Ok I have a fix for that....
    I just figured this problem out for myself with a friend]
    ==============================================================
    CLOSE SAFARI
    go to MY COMPUTER
    C:
    Documents and Settings
    Your name
    Application Data
    Apple Computer
    Safari Folder
    Delete BOOKMARKS.PLIST
    ( Now I have to warn you this WILL DELETE your bookmarks from Safari so back them up before you do this )
    NOW........
    go back and IMPORT your bookmarks
    take all your bookmarks from the "IMPORTED ON XX/XX/XXXX " folder and drop them into the BOOKMARKS MENU at the top ( not the folder just your bookmarks)
    NOW DO NOT DELETE the Imported on xx/xx/xxxx folder
    for some reason when you delete the IMPORTED ON XX/XX/XXXX folder.... It causes them to go missing under BOOKMARKS MENU
    SO as long as you dont delete the IMPORTED ON xx/xx/xxxx folder they will stay in the BOOKMARKS MENU where you can manipulate them
    ALSO... DO NOT DELETE the IMPORTED FROM INTERNET EXPLORER
    or IMPORTED FROM NETSCAPE/ MOZILLA FOLDERS
    that will also cause your bookmarks menu bookmarks to go missing too
    I guess this is a temp. fix for now
    Thanks,
    Christopher

  • Installed Adobe Reader 9 in trouble with Word...

    I am in trouble because I upgraded Adobe Reader to version 9, replacing the version 8 I was using with success! I work on an iMac.
    I wrote a book on Word 2004 for Mac and if I move it on Word 2008, even if the configuration is the same, the pages come out differently and all messed up. I absolutely need to keep it on Word 2004 from which I cannot save my text as pdf because of Reader version 9, it is not available in the menu anymore.
    Ok to uninstall it, but I cannot find the download for my previous version 8 on which the book was transferred for the editor and publisher.
    On the CNET forum someone wrote that he was in trouble like me, that it was easy to uninstall version 9 but that it took him a lot of time to find version 8 to download. In fact, I search for it on Google but every time it seems I find it when I try to download I don't have the possibility to choose version 8, I click on 8 and get 9. I am a sort of desperate, It's urgent for me to send this book and this stupid problem drives me crazy. Would you mind helping me? Does some of you know where to download? Thank you so much!!! Marie-Claire from Italy

    I also replied to your other thread on this.
    Reader has nothing to do with the creation of PDF's. It is for viewing them only.
    Do you have Adobe Acrobat? If so, you'll want to bring this problem over to the Acrobat forum. This one is for the free Reader.

  • Why do I have trouble with attachments being stripped when sending email via Earthlink Webmail using Firefox?

    I recently built a new computer running Win 8.1. However, I have had trouble sending and receiving attachments with Earthlink Webmail on Firefox. I sometimes cannot see attachments to emails I receive, although the size of the file indicates they are there. When I try to send an email with attachments, the browser contacts Earthlink, and then the message reappears, but the attachments have been stripped. If I hit Send again, the message goes, but without the attachments. If I re-attach the attachments and hit send, they are again stripped. I contacted Earthlink support, and they told me it is a problem with Firefox. I then tried IE and was able to send the attachments without a problem.
    I would really appreciate any help as Firefox is my browser of choice.

    1. Not sure how to send an email in a private browsing window... I use Earthlink Web Mail and I cannot find anything on that site about private browsing window.
    2. Have not tried this yet, but will when I get a chance.
    3. Not sure. My old computer ran XP. Never had the problem with it. Right now, it is not connected to the internet, so can't check it.
    4. I neglected to mention... I did try IE and it worked fine.
    I do have Norton 360 installed, but it was not a problem on the XP machine.
    Thanks for your response. I have been so busy lately that I just now picked up your response. I have not had time t to try anything else.
    As far as the file type, I was trying to send pdf files. Have not tried other file types.
    Earthlink limits messages (and attachments) to 20 MB. The files were less than 3 MB.

  • Trouble with windows after deleting Acrobat 9 Standard

    After I delete Acrobat Standard 9, via the control Panel's Add/Remove Programs, I can no longer use any thing from the My Computer window (Windows XP).  No matter what I click on the hour glass appears and the workstation freezes,  I have to power down the workstation.  Even when this is done the issue does not go away.  I am forced to redo the desktop image.  This happens no matter which 9.0 update I have installed.  I have tried them all 9.1, 9.12 through 9.4.

    I suspect that's not the problem, as I have no trouble selecting an area of any size I wish of images/objects most of the time.  The Select tool, at least in Acrobat 9, allows you to do this.
