When I type in "Ok", the phone wants to correct it to "OK" (capitalize it). It has always done this. After the latest update, when I press the space bar to accept the correction, it comes out as "OOK". I don't know why it's doing this or how to fix it. If I can't fix it, whom may I complain to, so I can get it fixed? Thanks in advance.

"OOK" is not in the personal dictionary. It is not giving me an option to select "OOK". It just inserts OK after the O that I typed to make OOK.

My Turbo 2 is not changing Ok to OOK when I hit he space bar, it changes it to OK. I am using the stock Keyboard, which is the Google keyboard on our phones.

Try clearing the cache on Google keyboard..and force stopping it...mine has actually been acting strange..but I type so fast that 40% of my words cone out wrong.

I've been getting bad typos like in words like "eventuality" if I haven't used it in a while..my phone will slap down something like everyone and some other crud..i miss my blackberry keyboard..but would rather deal with a bad virtual keyboard and have the screen space..for instance ..i typed acting strange and it types eating...tried typing it down here and I get typo action...its just weird at times..

The texts you send must be EPIC! . The keyboard and I don't get along sometimes. Sending words I didn't even type.

I am using the stock keyboard. I tried forcing it to stop. I did not reboot after forcing it. Maybe I will try those together next. Any other thoughts?

So is doesn't show up as a suggestion? It just automatically replaces it? If so, I think the next thing to do would be to install a different keyboard. Uninstall Google keyboard. Reboot. Reinstall Google Keyb.

No. It does not show up as a suggestion. To modify a previous post, it's more like it removes the "k" and replaces it with "OK" to make "OOK". I don't know of any way to uninstall the Google keyboard. The most I can do is force it to stop. Here goes....

OOK is gone. I disabled the keyboard, rebooted and then re-enabled the keyboard. It seems to have taken care of the glitch. Thanks.
