Greetings all, i am a new android convert, after years of being a blackberry user (tour 9650 was my most recent bb) i am glad i finally made the switch. I have had my epic for 3 days now and i am getting fairly familiar with it. maybe i am overlooking it but i cant seem to figure out how to spell check sms msgs or email. i have gone into my settings and have selected the auto correct feature but when i intentionally misspell words i get no correction. i also can not find a way to activate a manual spell check. has anyone else had this issue? please advise. thank you in advance.
How do you spell check sms text & email

I'm not sure if I'll get burned at the stake for saying this, but on my iPhone I had the same feature where it would tell me with a red squiggly line that I'm wrong (ios4.0). I did hate the initial means where it would popup a bubble with the correction and if you kept typing it automatically accepted the correction, very annoying when it goes from lol to LOL.
Anywho, back on topic, I too would like to know if I have to download a separate app for this or if it has some buried setting I'm missing for spell check vs correcting typos.

As far as I know the Epic does not offer spell checking function on the keyboards ~ yet another glaring oversight on the part of Samsung.
I installed Swiftkey Beta from the market and this provide with excellent prediction even for the physical keyboard which adds a work around functionality for the lack of native spell correction.

We had a near simul-post so I didn't see your comment since it wasn't there when I originally hit the "reply" button... but I see it now so thanks! I'll try it out...
thanks for the tip. the app works great. its a bit annoying i have to enter a passcode each time i sms or email but its a lot better than misspelling tomorrow and looking like a complete idiot! LOL
