TS2755 When I type into a text message, double letters appear, periods appear within sentence. it is very erratic.

Since yesterday every time I try to type a text message, letters appear twice, periods appear after each word and the functiionality seems very unstable.  not sure why,  i have plenty of memory available.

Hello tennisgal2013,
It would impossible to write a text message with the behavior you are experiencing in Messages on your iPhone, so I definitely understand your concern with this issue.  I'm not sure if you have tried this, but I recommend first trying to restart your iPhone and then a reset if the restart doesn't work:

If the issue persists after the reset, I recommend restoring your iPhone.  You can find steps for backing up and restoring your iPhone in the following links:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. 
Best,

  • How come when I look at my text messages, my contacts' phone numbers appear instead of their contact names?

    How come when I look at my text messages, my contacts' phone numbers appear instead of their contact names?

    If you're with Verizon, here's what I found on the boards:
    Dial *228, press 1 when the nice lady answers and wait until she tells you your phone has been successfully programmed.
    Then hang up, and press the home key twice rapidly and delete the open/running apps that appear there - delete from that second screen, NOT from the Dock at the bottom of your home screen!  You don't want to delete the programs, you just want to close the open/running apps.
    Wait 5 minutes or so, then voila!  Mine was fixed!

  • When I type into any text box the background of the box is blue and when I try to google something I can't see what I am typing...anyone know how to fix this?

    Any text box I type in the background is blue no matter what, if the website is dark the font is white and I can't read what I am typing. When I type in Google my typing doesn't show up unless I highlight it. Any help?

    That can be caused by the "Keystroke protection" in Comcast Constant Guard.
    "Configure Anti-Keylogging Settings" -> disable

  • Why do I have a big Q on the upper left of my screen when i go into a text?

    This is driving me crazy.. Why do I have a big Q on the upper left of my screen when i go into a text message? How do I get it off? Someone sent me a picture and I noticed it was on there also?

    ME TOOO!! omg it's so annoying. I have only had this happen with an iphone 4, and i noticed it started happening after I did a text msg. usually it's just a big Capital "Q", in a similar position as it would be on the keyboard. but it stays on the screen. Now it also stays there even when i go to my home page or any other screen for that matter. I recently had my phone swapped out because my home button had worn out (uh oh....less than 6 mo old too!) but even on the new phone it's doing the "Q" thing too.
    mine only goes away when i reboot. grrrrr. glad im not the only one tho.

  • Deleted Contacts show up when trying to send a Text Message.

    I have deleted contacts that still show when I try to send text messages out.Their name still appears even when they are deleted in my contacts. I've tried countless methods but nothing works. It won't go away. It's a huge problem for me and a lot of other people that I've talked to. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    That is a last resort for me. I've done it before but I don't want to do it again. Why can't apple just make this problem disappear?

  • Why am I getting File not Found alert when I type into my browser?

    Why do I keep getting a File not Found alert when I type into my browser?
    I have been using firefox for about 4 yrs now with very few problems. The problem I am having is that when ever I go to type in anything into my browser I keep receiving this message:
    (Scroll down to see the rest)
    File not found
    Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-US/locale/browser-region/region.propertieschronic+fatigue+syndrome.
    I recently installed Firefox 5.0 and this keeps happening. It happened with the 4.0 version a couple of days ago but mostly it is the 5.0 version that I am having problems with. When ever I want to do a search I have to manually type in google.com. Is there a solution to fix this?

    The NuGet is a dll that was built with 4.0.0.0.  The easiest thing to fix problem is target you VS project to use Net 4.0.  You could get a new version of NuGet, but if you do make sure you rebuild your entire project.  The dependencies in
    the VS compiler doesn't always recognize updated libraries.  So I normally rename the bin folder in the project and then delete the bin folder.  VS will create a new bin folder and then rebuild all the source files.  If your project contains
    multiple projects then remember to delete the bin from all projects.

  • I have a iPhone 3GS and my husband has the iPhone 4 , both phones with updated current . We added iMessage to them at first it was great, now I don't get half the texts my husbands send and when I send him a text message it will come up from my email???

    I have a iPhone 3GS and my husband has an iPhone 4, both phones are updated. We added iMessage the them both and at first it was great, the messages appear in the text messages under the phone contacts and when I send a text message it will either be a green message  or a blue one for (iMessage) depending on the signal.  Now when my husband sends a text message to me I don't get them all or some days none. When I send him a text message he gets them from my email address. I cannot send him a standard text anymore my phone only wants to iMessage, so if the signal is not right it just sits there undelivered???
    I also have a friend who that we regularly texted each other, for the past 4 months I can receive her texts but she never gets mine? And I have tried countless times, now iv given up trying and I don't use texting to either, but everyone else no problem.

    You and your husband can share a store account and still have seperate iCloud accounts for your contacts, bookmarks and stuff like that.  Click here for instructions to make an apple account without entering a credit card.  Make sure you use a different email address for each apple account. 
    Set up your iPhone/iPad whatever using the new account for iCloud.  Then go into settings/store and sign in with your purchasing account, you may need to sign out of the other account.  To the best of my knowledge, your household is allowed to share purchased legally, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
    Once you each have your own devices set to your own accounts you can set them to backup to that account and it will keep all your contacts seperate.

  • HT5622 My husband and I both have iPhones. We are currently using the same Apple ID. I have my own ID but when I send him a text message it comes back to me or goes to my computer. How do we separate the 2 ID's so we can send messages?

    You need to reconfigure your phone for use with your Apple ID. I suggest you restore yours as new then reconfigure it with your information and Apple ID. Be sure to disable Find My Phone, if it's enabled, before proceeding.

  • Can the 4S continue notifying me when I have a new text message or voice mail?

    Settings > Notifications > Messages > Repeat Alert, set to as many repeats as you like.
    There is no repeat for missed calls or voicemail.

  • Why doesn't my iPhone notify me when I have a new text message?

    My iPhone 4S doesn't notify me when I get a new text message or iMessage. The phone is not in silent and the volume of the phone is at 10. I keep my phone near me all the time, I can hear the phone ring if it rings. Usually when I text someone, I send the message and immediately lock the phone after. After about 15 minutes wondering if that person replied, I open my phone and find that I have a new message, the phone didn't ring or light up saying I have a new message. The people I text get mad because I never reply, but the truth is, my phone doesn't notify with a new message.
    Sometimes I send a text, press the home button, and then lock my phone. Even when I do that, my phone doesn't notify me. What wrong with my phone? How do I fix this?

    I never drain my battery 100% unless I have no other choice. Such a deep battery discharge is not good for the battery and should not be done often.
    No, the phone cannot "drain the battery 100%,"  The shutdown cutoff is way above battery depletion and is designed not to damage the battery when done occasionally (though doing so repetitively over a long period may shorten battery life span).
    Draining the battery to cut off keeps the meter calibrated and Apple recommends doing so monthly.  Also, a small memory effect has recently been documented for Li-ion batteries and this will help prevent it.

    You need the same number, and you have it. I think it also has to be with the same cellular carrier.

    And, what do I do if one of the harddisks on my Mini (2010, SL Server) starts misbehaving?

    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
    Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps and allows to delete the Firefox program folder.

  • My iMessaging keeps turning into regular text messaging

    My iMessaging always stops working, it works for a while then doesnt. It turns my messages into regular text messages, and i want it to stay on imessaging.

    http://■On iPhone, if iMessage is unavailable, the message may be sent as SMS or MMS, depending on content. Carrier messaging rates may apply. You can adjust this behavior in iPhone at Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Messages sent using iMessage appear in a light blue bubble, while messages sent using SMS or MMS appear in a green bubble.
