Help Turn off auto-correct, auto-punctuation, auto-capitalization

[SilentKoala]

Does anyone know how to disable the auto-correct and auto-punctuation while texting? It is absolutely driving me nuts. It will not let me type what I am trying to type without it changing what I typed no matter how many times I go back and fix it. For example, when I type two spaces, it inserts a period. But I don't want it to. I want to type two ****ing spaces, and no ****ing period. Please tell me there is a way to fix this. It is not in "Settings -> Language and Keyboard".

Hmm, I thought that I had turned all that stuff off too, but now have found out that the period after two spaces still shows up. Annoying, and I have found no way to get rid of it. Yet.

Below is what I did to get rid of all the other stuff, though.

Under the Settings > Language & Keyboard, tap "Touch Input." On the next menu that shows up, tap "Text Input." I have everything turned off except for "Vibrate When Typing."

Ditto. Dozens of places online say to go to settings. Keyboard etc.. but the options available are only language and spell check. Spell check doesn't fix the problem, nor would I expect it to. I do want options for words, and underlined mis-spells, I simply don't want it to assume I'm ******ed. (Case in point it put 'restarted').

Its very annoying. That and poor to zero reception on my nexus. I miss the days of physical keys. No autocorrect and driving while in an actual conversation... alas the world gets dumber every day.

And since when is ****** a curse? Example. "I had to ****** the braking system to avoid stopping abruptly."
Damn this political coorectness.

Go into settings
Language and input
Click on the option right under where it says "keyboard and input methods"
Then set up input methods
Click on gear next to android keyboard
Then youll see autocorrection in there

For the Droid Razr Maxx, doing the above will not solve the problem when you use "Swype" to input but it will work if you use the Android keyboard. Pretty stupid that when you turn off autocorrect it doesn't apply to Swype, especially since it is soooo annoying to so many people, of which I am one since Swype is my preferred method

Open the messaging app itself, do not go into the phone settings. In the app, press the menu hard button and go into Settings from there.

None of the above suggestions got me to a place to turn off the auto correct......

This is the answer that worked for my LG G3
Language & Input --> Gear Icon Beside Keyboard Type --> Additional Settings.
From here you can disable auto-capitalization and a bunch of other stuff.

You can go into Settings --> Language & Input --> Google Keyboard --> and then either Preferences or Text Correction. I turned off Auto-Capitalization in Preferences, but for autocorrect you would want Text Correction.

Hope this helped!

Edit: I didn't see the phone type. I have a different phone, so this might not work. Let me know if it does. but sorry if it doesn't!

I think it's creating problem with your keyboard settings. Go to 'keyboard and input methods' I hope there you will get the solution. Punctuation is very important to improve your writing skill. I have used many tools and among them free punctuation checker helps me in many ways.
