Hey,
So I just bought myself a nexus 5 and one of the first things I did was, I disabled all autocorrection, dictionary and autocompletion. The reason for that is, I write in mostly unsupported languages by dictionaries, and even better reason is that I write often in dialect.
Anyways... I've decided to try the swipe function out. And it seems, that it still tries to correct my words into other other words.
So, does any one know if it is possible to completely disable autocorrection?
Exuse my typos, regards xD

So, I have a new keyboard phone, the LG Enact. I had an Moto Razr M, and while it was a good phone, the screen was a bit too tiny. I could not type that well on it. Long story short, the new phone, the Enact, has a few issues with it's auto-correct.
And, please, don't ask me to simply turn it off. I dun type shorthand, and I like my words to be spelled... at least halfway correct.
So, with my Razr, if I typed a word, and the phone corrected my spelling, all you would simply have to do is tap delete once, and the phone would revert to whatever I typed, and would even underscore the word. If I wanted to be free of ever seeing the underscore again, I'd simply tap the word on the screen, and add it to my dictionary.
This new phone... well, needless to say, the software needs help.
The Enact reminds me of... I donno, just evil. Lemme give an example. I would type 'same' and it actually tried to replace it with 'sname'. You think, 'Hey, I just tap backspace, and it'll fix itself.' ..no, it doesn't. You have to tap delete to wipe out the word, and re-type it your way... only to auto correct it -again- as soon as you tap space. The only way to fix it is to back out of the messenger app, go over to Settings>Input>Dictionary, and add the word, then go back to the conversation, then it'll allow you to type the word you meant in the first place.
I am wondering, like, with some Windows software, you can add a configuration file, or the like, and it'll read it, changing the way it understands what you type, or at least learn from you, something. I would love to get something like that on my phone.
I did try a new app called 'User Dictionary Plus' that simply imports how you send to other people, but, the aggression of that auto-correct is -very- frustrating.
So, any advice? Any ideas how I could get my phone to be a little more... I donno, humanized? I would just install something random else from the Play store, but, the hardware keyboard is a dying breed... I rather not spend hours, and likely cash, just to get a keyboard that doesn't work with it. I am sure someone out there uses a hardware keyboard that knows a solution. Please help!

Hi, the stock Samsung keyboard will randomly capitalize words which aren't capitalized while typing. It happens to random words in the middle of the sentence.
Any other users here with the same problem and an idea how to fix this?

This is an issue with how their user dictionary works.. anytime you capitalize something, it saves that word as if it's a 'custom' word to your dictionary.. once I capitalized the word "Habit" when I was texting my wife because of a restaurant called The Habit where we live, now it always capitalizes that word when I swipe it. I've tested this theory and it does operate this way, unfortunately. What you can do is clear the user dictionary in the keyboard settings then it will revert all of those words back to normal.. until you ever capitalize them again. Sucks, but it is what it is.
I have found, however, when you "force" the UNcapitalized version of the word manually (after it auto-capitalizes it) then the next time you swipe or type that word it will be normal.. it uses statistical use data to decide which you use more, and will default to that..

Well, I'm pretty sure I never capitalized words like "so", "or" and "and".
Will try your suggestion though, this also happened after I clean flashed a new ROM few days ago. Maybe the cloud dictionary data is messed up and flooded with falsely capitalized words.
If it makes you feel better, I have the same problem with Swiftkey.

That's because the Samsung stock keyboard IS Swiftkey
Oh, well that makes sense.
I disabled the Samsung version and installed Swiftkey from the Play store.
Swiftkey

I just dealt with the same issue. I installed Swiftkey, disabled Samsung's keyboard - all good.
Mine just started doing this also. I'm one of those weird people that believe in proper grammar.
Hello;
I've searched for a long time my issue and never found a solution (if there is one), but today I dare to ask here.
My problem is that I installed a couple of months ago Google Japanese Input keyboard from the Google Store, and the keyboard is quite slow. In fact I know why it is that slow, because when I write kanas or kanji a lot of suggestions appear at the top of the keyboard, and there is no way to stop showing them. When I change to my qwerty normal keyboard it goes very fast, so those suggestions are the cause of the slowness. It appears even a down arrow and when I click over it the keyboard scrolls to the bottom and lots of kanjis are shown. I don't want anything to be shown, just the kanas/kanjis swapped when I write romanji, it's so convenient because I write and it changes what I write to the corresponding hiragana, if I press space it changes to the most appropriate kana/kanji because of the entire meaning of the word. That's the only I need, any fancy nor aid. Is that possible to change? I don't care if it is through normal settings or modifying xml or any other internal file.
I know it is a little hard to solve this problem because probabbly not many people with my situation.
Thank you so much.
try reset your phone friend...any idea
Hi,
I'm wondering if this is happening to others and if anyone knows any solutions. My keyboard auto-capitalize "Y" when swiping "you" even when it's not the beginning of a sentence. If I touch type "Do you want to...," it works fine. But, if I use the swipe feature, it spells it out "Do You want to..." Not sure why this is happening.
Hey not sure if you're still looking into this, but I've had this issue come and go over time. Honestly, no idea what causes it but I've had the same problem but with different words. I think there's probably a logical problem with the algorithms Gboard has for determining capitalization needs for done words. Did example, you may use "You" to start a lot of sentences and not realize it and the algorithm has now tried to capitalize it everywhere. Two potential solutions.
Keep correcting the spelling at let it learn "You" is wrong
Go into Gboard settings > advanced > delete learned words and data. Caution, this will delete all learned words. But doing so would tell you if this was isolated to just the learned words stores locally in your phone (bc Gboard no longer saves or syncs this data elsewhere)
Good luck!
Very strange that the Samsung keyboard application does not auto capitalize I.
Couldn't find anything in the settings.
Please don't suggest i switch to another keyboard app.
Thanks.

I did that.
It only auto capitalizes the first word after a period (full stop).
It will not auto capitalize the i within a sentence.
I see the suggestion for the capital "I" when using it mid sentence, I guess that's as good as it gets in that instance,at least with Samsung keyboard.
FWIW, I don't have that problem w/SwiftKey, but, that doesn't sound like an option you want to pursue.
Did you just recently start using Samsung keyboard, &/or, is this something that just started happening?
My use of Samsung's keyboard is virtually non - existent, so, I really don't have much more to add..... Was thinking if you're new to Samsung keyboard, maybe it just needs more time/usage to improve upon your usage habits.
My only other thought is that there's something lost in translation,so to speak, given Samsung is a Korean company & the letter "I" & it's usage in English isn't programmed in fully.....
