I'm really new to Android. Today is a week since I got my Atrix. I've been an iPhone and BlackBerry user. There are a few things that I don't know about android that are frustrating me. I'll say my frustration is just a lack of knowledge.
Picture me as a person who comes into your store wanting to return their phone.
Here's my background information: I am a songwriter. I do a lot of typing on my devices, whether it's a full song or just a few bars that are stuck in my head. Having a great feel to the keyboard is essential to me. I do not mind touchscreen keyboards because I've had iPhones for so long.
My thing is that I'm really used to auto correction. Is there anyway I can make my android phone automatically add the apostrophes and capitalize new lines as well as all I's when used as a noun? The convenience of typing "dont" and getting "don't" or typing i and getting I is really important to me. It makes the process run a bit smoother because if I'm focused solely on the typing I may forget the actual lyric I'm writing in. Both my iPhone and BlackBerry do it.
Another thing is the editing. Let's say that I notice a typo in previous line or I wanted to add more words to a bar and I want to correct it, how would I get back up to that spot? On my BlackBerry I would just effortlessly scroll up to the line and the iPhone I can tap the screen and drag my finger to the line with a cool little magnifying glass type ordeal. I've noticed that on Android as well, but it seems to happen randomly because I don't know how to access it. Anytime I touch and hold I obviously get the menu. How would I do I access that magnifying feature so I can move my cursor to where I need it to be?

Cliff notes:
- Is there any way of auto correction in typing? (i.e. typing "dont" and getting "don't" or "i" and getting "I")
- How do I move my cursor to a different part of the text I'm typing with the little magnifying feature?
