I understand your first statement clearly. - "...based on gender of the noun, we use 'мой' or 'моя' or 'моё'." "How to deduce the gender from a noun's ending?" - is not clear for me. Could you help me here? @shady_arc

Мои is used for plural nouns; Моя is usually (so not always) used for nouns ending with - я or -а. Моя is used for feminine nouns (like мама).
Perhaps it's time to change the device's language instead. And if that's the technique you currently use, it should be on the top letter line, the fifth from tab.
I suspect you might be overlooking it, though. I think it'd be in the same place in that instance. But really, I can't see why one of the letters wouldn't be included.
It will be accepted on this course - personal experience - if that's the answer, but it's better to stick with translating /all/ the words provided in the sentence for sake of practice and memory. It's not a pleasant thing to realize you've omitted something so much that you forget the meaning, even more when it's so basic.
