Apostrophes replaced with &apos since 3.1 upgrade

[dougvan]

Ever since I upgraded my 3g Xoom to 3.1 (using BDR's flashable image, thanks again!) I have an issue when using apostrophes in communications. When I write "I'll" for example, it looks fine on my screen. However, once I send that email to it's recipient it translates to "I'll" on their end.

Is this new to 3.1 or is it a known issue? I have never seen it before.
I saw a couple posts referencing "'" but not in this manner.

Anyone else experiencing this?

yes, i noticed it too. oddly, it seems to only happen when i reply to emails originally composed in html. i noticed it last week for the first time but i don't recall if it was before or after the upgrade to 3.1. it is definitely there in 3.1 though.

Yeah, I'm not 100% sure when it started but I'm sure I never noticed it before 3.1.
It's annoying trying to not use apostrophes in emails

I just noticed this...very annoying.

did you modify any system files? what keyboard are you using?

 

[dougvan]

Not extra mods beyond the flashed 3.1 from bdr. Now running the new 1.6 tiamat as well and still have the issue.

I'm using thumbkeyboard but used that in the past without noticing the issue.

I have noticed something new. When I view the Xoom General board using the XDA app and see a post with a quote or apostrophe in the 1 line preview its replaced with ' or ". However, when I open the thread it is displayed correctly.

Very odd.

Edit: you guys see "' or "." above? I entered that as "&quot" above and it changed to " when I clicked submit...

Is this an interpretation problem with HTML codes?

I don't have a solution but I can validate the same issue.

 

[willverduzco]

I am not experiencing the issue. I just sent myself a test email using the gmail client and used ' a lot, but it showed up properly on both the xoom and on the computer I sent it to.

Oh, and I'm on BRD's 3.1.

keyboard changes

I also noted that the colon : symbol is gone from the keyboard when typing an address using the browser. For example the "About:debug" command could not be typed as the key was gone. I had to go into a search box to type the command and then cut and paste it into the address bar.

Another google conspiracy....

Next to the space bar in the browser. Select the URL bar and the forward slash button immediately to the right button gets the colon as a shift selection. Just long press the that button and you get about:debug entered with no problems.

Only noticed it today. In gmail. Grr. Stock. Rooted. 3.1

 

[dougvan]

Yeah, it has become increasingly annoying to me.

Same here. Do not see the issue. Show up properly. I'm also on BRD's 3.1

Apostrophe Bug, Android 3.1

Anything out there besides people who also notice it? Need a fix, not company.

 

[jonpackard]

Everybody experiencing this issue please go to code.google.com and search for "android 16873" and then STAR it so that the priority will go up. This bug is killing me. Thanks!

P.S. If anybody could please repost the actual link I'd greatly appreciate it. I don't have enough posts.

I was getting this issue in some emails to my mate. I replied with thumb keyboard, then replied without it. And without thumb keyboard didn't get the issue. (I used stock)

Hi everyone,

This issue was tracked internally on the team and has been fixed in our codebase. It will go out with in a future system update. Thanks to everyone for their patience.

I just wanted to clarify a few things and repeat what some people on this thread have already said:

- the issue exhibits itself only when you reply to a message, and not when composing new mails
- the issue exhibits itself if you are using an Exchange 2007 (or newer) account
- the issue should not be fixed after a reboot
- the issue should not be seen with IMAP, POP3, or Exchange 2003 accounts

If you are seeing an issue which does not fit the above criteria, you may be seeing something else, and it would be useful to identify your device type and version, as well as precise steps to reproduce the issue on a separate issue entry.

Thanks!

There's your fix... 3.1.1 or 3.2 probably

This issue still hasn't been fixed as it happens all the time on my Xoom which I only bought a few weeks ago. Standard out of the box Xoom. Using MS exchange email client. It works fine on GMail.
