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.

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.

I installed the latest Swype beta from their website a few days ago. I am having a lot of problems with the dictionary, especially with the pop-up for "hidden words". Yesterday I had 5 pop-ups with an 8 word text. An example would be a pop-up to tell me the word "for" is hidden by the word "four". I should not be getting this notification with either of these words as they are standard words. I also am not able to delete words from the dictionary. I go through the highlight and delete process and even get the "are you sure" dialogue but then the words persist.
This is making Swype unusable for me. Anyone else out there having this kind of problem?
BTW- since the new beta Swype stops responding after every reboot. I have to change input method to touch key and then change it back again to Swype. Evidently the new version fixed this problem for some but caused it for me.!
I noticed the same thing. For me it wasn't with standard words, but names. It looks like swype read from my contacts to add them to my personal dictionary. Now, almost any time I type a word, it says that it is hidden by a person's name. It got really annoying, so I stopped using it for the time being. Went back to swiftkey, but really miss swype.
I had the same issue and went back to swiftkey even though I like swype better. It's unusable right now for me.
Works great. I used the evo version with no issues. I installed from my phone with apk installer. No mic, though.. You guys rock!!!

Do you have a link?
had a lot of issues, also have the legit beta
Yes. Same issue here also have to reinstall almost daily to keep it working now. Keeps acting like it does when it expires. Not a good version at all.

I agree. The new version is useless.

Just a warning:
Take a look at their EULA. Clearly states that they collect the information that you type and they cannot be held responsible what is done with this information... Just a little shady.

Curious if you could explain where you got this information? The EULA posted on Nuance's website (http://www.nuancemobilelife.com/android/EULA-flext9.html) does clearly state that
"As part of the Service, Nuance also collects and uses Speech Data, as defined below, to tune, enhance and improve the speech recognition and other components of the Service, and other Nuance services and products... 'Speech Data' means the audio files, associated transcriptions and log files provided by you hereunder or generated in connection with the Service."

but as far as I can tell this is exactly the same thing Google does with Voice Search, Google Talk Voicemail, etc. They go on to explain that only Nuance and third parties directly under their supervision will have access to such data. Sounds like business as usual to me...
this is an amazing keyboard, beats skype in all aspects
Love this keyboard. I've used Swype for quite a long time and this is much, much better.
.....
I really like how I can easily switch between swiping and typing. Swype and other swiping keyboards don't do this nearly as well as Flex T9.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
I picked up FlexT9 too.
I'm a swype user now and I really want to like it. I do think the keyboard layout itself is better than swype. Feels more responsive and it's definitely much easier to tap out words on it then it is on swype's.
Coming from swype though, I've have things that I'm used to, like swyping ! or ? to the space bar, Sywping the swype icon to 5 to get the numeric keypad and Swyping up after the first character to capitalize.
Those are pretty minor though. A couple of things I really don't like about FlexT9 though are that you can't click on a wrong word to pull up other choices for that word. You have to deleted it and re-swipe it. I think how, with swype, you can type away and then go back and quickly fix a few wrong words at the end like that. Also, I don't like how it won't let you swipe in the url bar. I use Dolphin and use the url bar to enter search queries more than I do urls. That's probably my biggest issue with FlexT9. I have to also get used to hitting space bar at different times from swype. I think if I swype something on swype and then the next I want a number after a space (like I want to write "this 1"), with swype it's swype "this" then hold "1". With FlexT9, you have to hit a space after swiping "this" That'll just take a little getting used to.
The last thing is that, like Swype, it automatically enters anything you type in manually into the dictionary. I hate that. I wind up with hmmm and grrrr in my dictionary. Then, let's say, for some reason, I can't get it to swipe a word and I have to type it and I mis-type it (very common on swype), I get that added. Like if I type out "thief", but I type "thied", then thied is forever in my dictionary. I clear data on swype monthly or so, but that's not a good solution. Why can't they both just add a check box for "automatically enter typed out words into the dictionary". Done, simple.
I've given up on FlexT9 and come back a couple of times. Not sure if I'll clear the hurdle to switch from swype.
Anyone have any idea how responsive they are to changes? I did receive an email back starting they'll review my suggestion. What kinds of things have been changed in recent updates?
@lexluthor: I pretty much have the same feelings with you on trying to like FlexT9 after using Swype. It's so hard to get used to swiping without inserting Swype's shortcuts. If only one of those keyboards would take the good qualities of the other... but might be a bit difficult as I think Swype figures things out location based along your swipe line; whereas FlexT9 takes a guess at your swiped letters and does a predictive dictionary match. That's why if you trace "ELEP" on FlexT9, you can get ELEPHANT as a word choice.
BTW, if you double tap on words with FlexT9, choices pop up. Don't know how you're not seeing it. This is with the version of FlexT9 from the Amazon free app day.
Does anyone know how to get this keyboard in Canada? I've wanted to try for a while but can't find it in android market and amazon app store isn't available here...
I paid for this a while back and haven't seen any updates for it for quite a while. It let me install the (now free) Australian version from the market, it still can't understand the Kiwi accent though
Edit: No, turns out it just hasn't been updated in months.

Says it was updated June 2nd. Nothing in the changelog though and from the comments it looks like the only thing that changed was the permission to read contact data... odd.
I still want to try this though, I've heard good things about this. It won't show up in the market app and if I try to install online it will say not supported in my country... so how to get it
EDIT:
Okay so apparently there is a free version available in Canada but it's in French.
Can anyone upload the free Australian version apk? (English is pretty much the same .. right?)
Thanks
Anyone have the Apk or not?
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

AI is taking over, best to act robotic and hope for humanity to prevail. Luckily we have a friendly program on our side, and if we're lucky we can Swype away this danger.

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.....
