When typing a text letters appear without me typing them

[amyeliz88]

I was having the same issue and it was always auto drafting "Mike is trying to text better" whenever I received a text from my husband, and from him only. I tried everything, from deleting entire SMS threads, to restarting to my phone, but the only thing that worked was glennj's suggestion to clear all the cache messages. So strange.

Same issue here: everytime I open a text thread from my husband a very old unfinished (and unsent) text appears in the message box [something dumb regarding Pizza].

I have deleted all threads, drafts and more. I can find no auto msg function to turn off?

Is there a tech support hotline? I'm hoping you guys are it!

clearing the cache hasn't worked for me!

Delete the contact then add them again, no more auto message.

Turn Off Predictive Text Dictionary or what you referred to as words automatically appearing when you type.

Go to Home Screen
Then 'Menu'
Tap 'Settings'
Scroll down to 'Language & Keyboard' & tap
Go to 'Touch Input' (tap)
Go to 'Text input' (tap)
Uncheck 'Prediction'

*This should resolve the issue mentioned of words popping up--attempting to predict what you're trying to type. However, this is a very good feature once you learn how to use it properly. It saves time by selecting words you 'may' be trying to type. Check it out and try it before deleting it. Hope it helps.
