Apparently I do when I am needing a space after a word.

Try tapping instead of holding it down. That should work

Slow taps will do the trick. Pause between taps & you would not get the period.

This seems to be a hardware issue with some phones on the 99xx keyboards so it is not you its the phone it needs to be replaced. Mine started doing it after 3 months of usage. Key rate also may help a little but its a defective keyboard. Just replace the device if you are under warranty.

Its driven me crazy, and i am sure to a lot of other users, i registered to just post this solution.

This was my experience. Once it started, no OS upgrade or setting would fix it, and I finally had to get a replacement. There's a lengthy thread in the 9900/9930 section about this, titled "Unexplained Periods."

Some people have had success by forcefully holding and pressing the space bar.

Have had the same problem for months. Went into the keyboard settings and changed it from "medium" to "medium fast" and have had no problems since.

This worked for me!
