For some reason, whenever I open a text message, compose a new email, or any text input the default iPhone keyboard starts with a lower case keyboard. I constantly have to hit the "shift" button to start my sentence with a capital. I have tried resetting the dictionary and keyboard to default settings.
Is this a bug?

Toby Tucker,
Thanks for trying the recommended steps and following up. If you haven't already, restart your iPhone. Restarting can resolve many unexpected behaviors.
If the issue persists, reinstall iOS with iTunes. This step can resolve possible software issues. When reinstalling iOS, iTunes will completely remove your current software and install a fresh version. Make sure you have a recent backup before trying this step.

Yeah, I've checked all those options. Auto-Capalization is on and I have the latest updates.
