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!

Hello,
Apologies if this is the wrong place to post.
I am currently running leaked 4.1.1 (VRBLK1) on vzw gs3. I use Swype as my keyboard, and have noticed two very frustrating and related issues. I do not know if this is related in any way to the phone, or simply a swype issue.
1. Can't disable autocorrect.
2. When searching for a contact (phonebook, fb, etc.) I'll typy in the first couple of letters of the name and the list will shorten to the likely candidates. However, tapping on the name will not work properly, as the autocorrect feature interprets that as selecting the "correct" word, so instead I get a search for that word. For example, in FB, I type in Tzi, and while this is not in the dictionary, I get suggested Tzu. I click on the contact that starts with Tzi, and instead am given a list of users starting with Tzu.
Does not seem to happen on Samsung keyboard.
Thanks
I'm using Swype Beta 1.4
Settings -> Language and Input -> Swype Beta Setting -> Preferences -> Auto-Correct
Also, when typing a word that is not picked up by the predictive software, after you finish typing what you want (like Tzi in your example), do not click space. That will default to the first auto-correct/predictive option (which seems to be Tzu). Rather, click the word you typed (in this case Tzi) that appears in the predictive bar, first slot.
Thanks for the response.
I didn't realize that I wasn't on the latest version because the update option doesn't show anything. Apparently i had to download a new installer for the next version. Got my autocorrect option back, and it seemed to fix the problem I was having as well. Just for clarification, I wanted to be able to just type the first 2-3 letters and then pick the name from the resulting contact list, not actually save those letters as their own word. For example, If the name I'm looking for is frederick, typing fr would bring up the list containg fred, frederick, Freddy, etc. However, subsequently tapping on Frederick's name would change the text I had entered to whatever the autocorrect thinks it should be (let's say "re") and then i would get a list of names starting with that!
Anyway, seems to be a moot point for now, at least until the new dictionary starts getting populated, then we'll see.
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.

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
