Keyboard bug in iPhone 2.2.1 software found

[sfgiants2555]

wow that was a waste of 1:40!!!

[ToastyDelights2]

turn off the auto-correct

[him1bam1]

good for you...that helped

[nahhooh]

fuck u asshole, be happy that it works anyway

take alcatel and the try to type some letter

u type 10char word and u get only 2 letters

[Moink80]

okay, if its not a bug, the why cant i type "slagtet" which means "butchered" in danish, on a danish iphone.

it's the same thing, i cant press "t" or "e", but all the other letters.

[dunean]

I would call it as a bug, the "E" doesn't work either and why does "Z", "H", "Q", etc. work if it is dictionary driven... There is no word "ibez..." for example.

[hhent]

been there since 2.1, I have that when trying to type my friend's name (Wenying) it only lets me spell 'Wenting' or 'Wenuing'

[Ryan2925]

If you add the name is your contact book, it should stop that. Tell me if that helps

[hhent]

yeah shes in my contacts

[0nIC]

that "bug" has been in the software since 1.1.4

but turning auto-correct off in 2.2 will fix said bug

[DjUbbe]

I found the same bug with the letter "t" in a swedish word "laget", I can't press the "t" button. I using 2.2

[jacklink01]

its not a bug. it is doing that because there is no word in the English dictionary that has a T after IBE. Its not a bug at all. If you don't like auto-correction, then turn it off... but don't call it a "bug" because it isn't a bug.

[KeeYoMaG]

correct.

[stevenb789]

lol cool how you found it

[tabainslotb]

...Once again, I fully admit it's annoying, but it *is* doing what it's supposed to do and is not a bug. Therefore, the answer has already been covered, either don't use autocorrect, or go ahead and type the incorrect letter and backspace.

[tabainslotb]

I won't deny this can be annoying, but it is 100% *not* a bug. More accurate to say it's a design flaw. This behavior is an entirely intentional function of the autocorrect. The dictionary has looked at all possible words it knows of that would begin with "ibe" as well as words with letters very close to the positions of the letters I, B, and E, and found that a T would not follow in any instance. What it's doing is "helping" you because it thinks only an R or a T would come next. (More...)

[Ryan2925]

Did you know that you can turn auto correcion off in the settings and of will stop it? It's a nice feature. You must have 2.2 atleast I think

[rgoga93]

apple make no mistakes :D

[Ryan2925]

Yeah, Steve Jobs says they don't, so they don't, right?

[rgoga93]

nooo...it's just apple..that's how they do stuff. everythings perefect, and everyone wants it. i mean even if this is a bug, it's nothing compared to microsofts bugs. :)

[iCHAINSAW]

correct.

[Ryan2925]

Wow, thanks for the feedback guys, I did try it with auto-correction off, and it worked, and it makes since why they would do that. I also tried it with clicking the X, but that didn't work. Anyways guys, I got all of these comments in a day, hah, new record. Anyways, please subscribe, and thanks again.

It's not a problem, it's Apple's autocorrection feature. Its dictionary predicts what word you are currently typing and eliminates possible surrounding letters on the keyboard so that you don't accidentally touch it.

[DjShervin]

u r so dummmm , turn of the auto correction dummy

[michaelm11188]

eviliu is right. It's an implementation of apple to make typing easier for existing words.

[jaged192003]

i found this bug about 1 year ago... i had my phone since 2007 so its nothing new

[eviliu]

It's doing dictionary predictions to autocorrect your typing, and thinks that there is no word where a T is next, but that there are words with letters near the T. Just click the little bubble that appears above your word to cancel the autocorrection for that word. Plus, once you do that a few times, the word should be in your dictionary and it'll autocorrect in your favor in the future.

[epijimenez]

i couldnt it the letter "e" neither. can you try it out and tell if u cant neither..

the same procedure, instead of trying to type "@ibet" try typing "@ibee"

[fabie2]

Wow you're right:P, not really a problem tough but strange!:P
