When typing out an SMS using the stylus on screen occasionally a word e.g 'tomorrow' will display as 'tomorrowtomorrow'.
Is this a function that can be turned off or am I being a spaz!
I also discovered this annoying phenomenon, and it is a very disturbing problem on a, otherwise excellent device.
I don´t have any answer. Instead I 'lift' this thread in hope of an answer.
Ditto, sometimes clearing the user dictionary can help improve matters
I have just got the phone and have been playing with it for the last couple of days. I really am impressed with aside from one feature.
When typing out text messages with the phone horizontal (so i can use both thumbs) using the Samsung QWERTY input, the words don;t auto correct if I make a small mistake. I am so so so sure that when I tested the phone in store the women managed to turn it on so that as long as I got the words roughly right, the phone would auto correct them for me!
Does anyone know how I turn this feature on? I do not want it via SWYPE or the T9 auto predict word feature, just the standard QWERTY keyboard.
I would be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction! Cheers guys
Anyone at all guys, it is the one thing preventing me from calling it a perfect phone!
Maybe I'm just an ignorant fool for having taken several days to figure this out, but I just realized you can move the text-prediction bar so that it's no longer blocking the "send" button on text messages.
Press and hold on any word that pops up, and you can drag it to another location on the screen. Mine is now pinned to the top of the keyboard, and the send button is now available to be pressed even if i don't select an auto-correct word. It does hide the "attach" button, but I rarely use that in SMS anyway.
Thought this might help.
EDIT: Well, I guess I am an ignorant fool. The change isn't permanent.. or at least I haven't found a way to make it permanent. I wonder what person thought it was a good idea to float the text prediction bar at some arbitrary spot that just so happens to block the most important texting button... I'm convinced nobody tests these things... But I digress.
I was excited about this until I did it and then got another text and the box was right back where it started haha

Yeah, same here. I edited the original post accordingly. It really astounds me how minor, yet stupid, the text prediction implementation is..
I switched to SwiftKey and never looked back. HTC's IME is nice for a stock KB.. but it's too large (because of extra row for arrow keys) and the prediction text blocking everything above the keyboard.
I wonder if HTC IME MOD is any better in these regards?

I, too, am now using Swiftkey. It really has a great feel to it. Most of the time, it records every keypress. However I've experienced extreme lag from time to time, resolved only when i disable the keyboard and reenable it. Ever happen to you?
If your as annoyed with the senseui keyboard as I was I can highly recommend the gingerbread keyboard off the market. It is, unequivocally, fantastic.
I am using the gingerbread keyboard as well. Accidentally found out you can drag the space bar up to get the arrow keys then drag it back down to get rid of them. Handy little feature.

Arrow keys are a huge time saver for me... I'll be checking out the Gingerbread keyboard...
Wow, gonna have to pay for this one... Gingerbread Keyboard is awesome
id like to put the word prediction bar transparent or make it desapear but keep the continuous input working on!
Sorry if Im asking an already answered question but I don't know the solution. I dont know if this is a Liberty issue because of the small screen, or an issue related to the google voice app itself. but when Im typing a message out in google voice and the text gets to the 4 line, I can no longer see what I am typing, the word suggestion row above the letters are covering what im writing. This used to be fine when I used swipe because it never did that, however I updated swype and no it is having the same issues. Does anyone know of a solution to this? a different keyboard? a fix?
I don't know of a fix, but rotate to landscape mode will keep the text box fully visible. This is really annoying to me as well.

yah, this has been a known problem. just tried typing in both G Voice and Handsent. wrote a paragraph of text with no issue in either landscape or portrait mode.
i remember in the beginning it didnt work for me either. running CM7.1, and all is well
I use Swype. So usually when this happens for me i just cycle from Swype to th Default back to Swype and it's fixed.
Hi all,
So, I'm having a bizarre issue with Samsung Keyboard on my Verizon Galaxy S7. I use the auto correct (auto replace) feature, and it normally does a very good job of catching typos and whatnot. But, it does something really strange when I end a sentence with an exclamation point (!) or question mark (?).
It replaces the entire word before this mark with something totally unrelated. Like for example, if I type "Yeah!", I hit the space bar, and it gets replaced with something like "The!", or "I!". My girlfriend has the same issue on her Galaxy S7. We never had this issue on our previous Samsung phones. This seems to only happen with Samsung Keyboard. But, I would like it if I didn't have to switch keyboards, or turn off Auto correct. Any ideas?
Here's what I've tried so far:
Clear cache and data on Samsung Keyboard
Disable Sync on Samsung Account
Disable various keyboard features, like Auto spacing and Auto punctuate
Factory reset
Thanks in advance!
OMG! Thank God someone else is experiencing this too because I thought I was going crazy LOL. I've been sharing the below post everywhere I can -- I sure hope Samsung fixes it soon because it's very irritating.
I have the s7 and I HATE the autocorrect. I use exclamation points a lot and every time you end a sentence with one it autocorrects the final word in the sentence to something completely random. For example, I typed "I don't understand how!" and it autocorrected how to "why." I typed "Why, does this phone?" and it autocorrected phone to "mean." I typed "Those poor kids are probably starving" and it autocorrect starving to "the." It's the most frustrating thing ever and happens every time I type a text message. I've never wanted to chuck a phone across the room more than when I'm texting on the S7. I've contacted Samsung support, twice, and they pretty much told me I was crazy. So, I figure I'll find every review post on the S7 and post about my issue to see if someone somewhere in the Samsung world can release a software fix for this stupid phone.
Yeah this drives me crazy as well. It's very inaccurate. Maybe a new keyboard like swift key? With the stock one you are better off just tapping

Yes!! I'm so glad too that I'm not the only one experiencing this. I have been searching like crazy, and haven't found this issue listed anywhere.
So sounds like the only fix at this point is a custom keyboard. I hope they fix this soon. Thanks for the replies!
Ok, I have an update. I went into Settings > Language and Input > Samsung Keyboard > Add input languages. There was an "Update" button next to "English (US)". I downloaded this update. Since then, the problem seems to have diminished somewhat. I still see it, but it's kinda 50/50 now.
If somebody else wants to try this, let me know what kind of results you get. Thanks!
I managed to correct the problem! Under Settings > Language > Samsung Keyboard > Add Input Languages > More > Check for updates!!! So relieved!
Issues with Autocorrect on Samsung Keyboard? Completely wrong word replacement
Just use the Kii keyboard app. Free and does what you want.
I fixed it! I went to the Samsung keyboard in settings and changed the Keyboard Swipe to None. Boom! Instantly fixed!
i always loved the samsung keyboard but after the nougat update i move to gboard and think ill stay here for a while because i think the autocorrection works far better and love that you can have multiple languages at the same time rather then to switch between each one of the sammy.
I thought it was only me.... I used to save Roman Urdu words saved in my dictionary and it automatically used to replace the correct words as I zipped along.. no longer working right for me and I am so frustrated by it.. software update screwed my fav keyboard

i get the same issues when i text on my Samsung s7 phone but mine does it anywhere in my text not necessarily at the end, im thinking about spending muy money on iphone instead cause this is driving me nuts! get tired of having tip go back and fix words on a constant basis or re-text because person reading it can't understand what i said.
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Predictive Text and Auto Replace
I was having the same problem (a word being suggested that was totally off from what was being typed and that wacky word replacing the correct word). The fix was keeping the predictive text on but turning the auto replace off. For my phone/software I got to these by:
1. Settings
2. General Management
3. Language And Time - Language and Input
4. Keyboards - Virtual Keyboard
5. Samsung Keyboard
6. Smart Typing - Predictive Text
The Predictive Text should be on, but the Auto Replace should be off
With the settings as described, the words I use a lot while texting (for instance "thanks" and "ok") show up under where I'm typing the text and I can tap them to save time, but the whole deal where some wacky word comes up and then replaces the word you wanted unless you hit the arrow goes away. I hope this is helpful.
it's 2018 and im still having this issue. I'll type in love and 100% of the time it switches to live. I mean, I use live too so i don't want to delete it. This issue makes me take atleast twice as long to type one message. I had it turned off for a long time and that was my solution, but if they have a feature, I want to ****ing use it. I NEVER had this issue on my previous Samsungs and i've only ever had Samsung "smart" phones.
