Or is possibly a sign I should move to SF and talk about Noe Valley more often?
Except that's where I saw the naked man jogging!

I have a Blackberry and a student named Mo. It autocorrects to Month. I cannot make it stop. He is even in my address book as Month. It is super annoying.

Also, as evidenced over in Gaming, the thing I can't figure out in Android is capitalization autocorrect. In general, I really like that when I lay down a period or at the start of a post it auto capitalizes for me. But there are lots of times when I don't want it too, like, for example, when I'm trying to use quick edit formatting! Or when I use honorifics. Or abbreviations.
Right now I can't figure out how to undo the cap. Anyone know?
I did finally figure out where my Droid's shift lock was, though. I was all, hey, LED I've never seen before!

On my android phone, I get around the auto-capitalization by typing the letter a second time and then backspacing and deleting the first letter. Which is insane, but I don't know how else to do it.

Oh, that's a good idea. Stupid to have to, but right now, I don't even have a workaround.

Although, I will say, I'm sure you all appreciate that I have moved on from my old phone in that we have passed the two years of wrongly faced smart quotes as apostrophes! And personally, I am happy to no longer have to type <br>& nbsp;<br> all the time.

Does anyone else with an iPhone ever just.. lose service? In a place where there is service?
It's been happening to me for a couple weeks. Sometimes I'll just lose all signal and it will say 'searching' or 'no signal' for hours at a time. And then other times it'll SAY that I have full service, but messages won't send.
I tried doing a network reset and a setting reset, but it didn't seem to help. I am not sure if it is a problem with the phone, or with AT&T?

I occasionally see that on FB and think, "Oh, that's just like Liese!"

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Zuisa,
Yes. I usually fix this by putting my phone in airplane mode then turning it back on. Sometimes, I have to do a hard reset to get my iPhone back in business. I need to do a clean reset and get back to basics with my iPhone, but that will take hours. It isn't syncing right for me anymore.
