Nexus 4 Keyboard keeps inserting a :) when I'm typing

Hi all

I just got my Nexus 4 yesterday. My keyboard keeps inserting "smilies" when I'm typing. It's so frustrating! Have tried another keyboard, same problem. Doesn't matter what letter I type (it's not as if I'm hitting the "" key at the bottom right of the keyboard), I can be typing anything & it'll keep doing it. Seems to be when I type something like re & ke, then it'll insert a I typed the word this & got this

Any ideas? Can't find anything in the settings to stop this & it's getting really really annoying!!!

Thanks

It might be the auto-correction, but I'm not 100% sure. That would be my guess. I always hated those things.

Menu -> Settings -> Language & input -> click on the button at the right of "Android keyboard" -> Auto-correction -> press "Off"

U are just dummy, because when you type, you accidentally press symbol. Hold your hand differently

Maybe your N4 knows you are having a bad day and is trying to lighten your mood.

Nexus 4s are pretty versatile devices , you know.
