Samsung keyboard auto correct not working....

I see the suggestions but when I press the space bar it wont insert the suggested word. I have looked everywhere to turn this on. Any ideas? This is the Sprint version.

It doesn't work on any Note 2 at the moment, not your fault or any config that you can change.

Wow, that is pretty bad. I tried to use just a stock Jellybean kb and had issues with enter key on the email app.
What other keyboards are you guys using? I hate swype... thanks!

I use SwiftKey 3.
Samsung keyboard seems broken to me.

It's a bit painful, that, since so many good things are tied to the Samsung keyboard (Handwriting recognition, floating keyboard in multiscreen, one-handed mode, and parts of Swiftkey for that matter).

I recommend swift key 3 until Samsung gets it out. In fact I recommend it over the Samsung keyboard. But from what I read the new Samsung keyboards are based on swift key. Is that right?

This is annoying... I hope their is a fix for this

The more I use the keyboard, the more I like it. There are pros and cons to having the spacebar auto correct. I do agree that they should make it an option though but after a couple of days with the Note 2 keyboard I find that I have less errors and am almost typing just as fast as SwiftKey. If you stick with the Samsung keyboard, you will get better at it.
Plus the numbers at the top and the pen input is too hard to give up. The pros outweigh the cons in my opinion.

TouchPal is a good keyboard too. And it's free!

Samsung has purposefully left it out. Your keyboard is fine. Although it would have been nice if Samsung had actually included the option to enable or disable auto correct. I use the Jelly Bean Pro keyboard from the Play Store. But I switch to the Samsung one if I am using Multi Window functionality.

Handwritten from my Galaxy Note II

The Hong Kong stock firmware keyboard I loaded a couple weeks back did perform autocorrect but the performance was so iffy (guessing the same incorrect word over and over rather than learning from prior corrections being the biggest issue) that I moved back to SwiftKey. I'm bummed about losing easy handwriting and the number row but as a whole I'm happier with the Swiftkey.
Some others stated that they got used to the stock keyboard without autocorrect but after a week+ on the English keyboard I decided it wasn't worth it.

Well mine worked fine until yesterday. It corrects its to it's automatically. But it doesnt work anymore.
I dont know why it worked at first place then not working anymore..
Btw I updated language as soon as I booted phone up for the first time..

Totally agree with this!!

It might be worth everyone giving Ultra Keyboard a try from the play store. It does Google voice typing, better swiping than the stock keyboard and allows a permanent number row. Also has long press secondary characters. The only thing you give up is the handwriting but for me that is infrequent enough that I'm prepared to switch keyboards just for when I need it.

Does anyone think we will get the autocorrect back?

SwiftKey users?

I love SwiftKey because of the amazing auto correct, arrow keys, and swiping to delete a word. I type very well on my phone thanks to the program.
However, since I am not using the stock keyboard, I don't think I can do cool stuff with my pen like write a handwritten text message.
Anyone else sticking to SwiftKey or are folks using the stock keyboard?

I alternate between both. I love SwiftKey but I can't do one handed typing. That's why I also still use the Samsung keyboard. If only it had auto correct. Oh well.

I'm a Swype fan, but I'm currently giving the Android 4.2 keyboard a chance. It has a swipe feature..... So far I'm thinking I'll switch back to the Swype keyboard. It gets the words correct more often it seems...

For me it's SwiftKey all the way no other program catches and fixes as many words as SwiftKey does

Can you edit the dictionary for your own words or delete words you don't use?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

I used to use Switftkey, but since I have a Note 2, I use the samsung keyboard, because it can learn my often used words same like switftkey.
If you see the options in "Predictive Text" in Samsung keyboard is almost the same with the "Personalization" menu in Swiftkey.
The only thing I miss is the cursor key option in Switfkey is not available in Samsung keyboard

Used to, but moved to stock

When i had my s2, i used swiftkey, but since i got my note 2 Ive been using the stock keyboard because it has swipe and swiftkey features built in.

Always used swype in the past but when I got the gn2 I loved the stock keyboard too much to change. ..
Great swype function and number pad. Tried SwiftKey but wasn't that impressed.

I agree. The JB keyboard is good, but missing the cursor keys. Swiftkey is still better in that sense.

I use SwiftKey in the day and swype after 10pm at night. Reason being at night I normally like to spend some time playing with the phone, reading forums while lying in bed b4 sleeping. Swype is better for this case.
I have a tasker profile that automatically changes input to SwiftKey in the morning and swype at night.

And how is SwiftKey better during the day? You lost me, I'm afraid...

I used to swap between Swiftkey and the Swype beta on my Galaxy S and Note 1.
But I've just been using the stock keyboard on the Note 2 because it is almost like Swiftkey and Swype combined.
I just hate that the Samsung keyboard is so big. I occasionally still switch to Swiftkey when I want to see more of the screen.
The Swiftkey and Swype keyboard take up a lot less screen space. I can't wait for Swiftkey flow.

Lol. cause at night I'll be lying on the bed, holding the phone up using one hand. so it's easier to Swype with the other. It's not possible to type using 2 hands in this manner.

I use swiftkey. The lack of auto correct in samsung's keyboard kills it for me. I can type 5x times faster with swift with its (still) unparalleled auto correction.

Sorry cause I usually like to type using both hands. Swype is not very conducive for that. Only reason I use Swype at night is because I cannot type with both hands while lying down and holding the phone above me.

SwiftKey. For clarification, Samsung calls it's version of Swype "Swiftkey", so that camelcasing is more important than ever in this thread.
SwiftKey is the only app I've ever purchased. I used the trial and could not go back to any other keyboard after that. I do wish it had the option for a row of numbers, like the Samsung keyboard does. That's really convenient, and on a phone this size not a hindrance.

I understand now! Makes perfect sense!
Well, i tried the Samsung Keyboard with swipe feature and it sucked. Punctuation was difficult to say the least. However, i did like the number keys always up there.
Back to giving Android Keyboard another go now...
Overall, Swype Beta seems the easiest when trying to type really fast, but formats funky on the screen sometimes.
I'm hoping the next version of Android Keyboard is improved. It also won't show you word suggestions for previous words, which is just stupid..

Amazing. Can't wait for the official release, bug free with hopefully some sort of swipe to delete (swipe the backspace button?).
I use SwiftKey 3 before this and the swipe left for a word delete was amazing.

Am I the only person that thinks it's horrible? I use SwiftKey and love it but flow just isn't there yet. It only types what I want half the time and I'm constantly going back and fixing errors. I'm much faster and accurate with the normal SwiftKey.

I find that the case with most of the "flow" type keyboards. For some reason, tapping just works better for me. The idea of having to type only one key at a time (as opposed to using 2 fingers/thumbs) is beyond me and slows me down!

I'm using this keyboard cuz for me it's like a free version of SwiftKey with that amazing prediction. The swiping works best on the words you get lazy on or you know are easy to swipe. I'd drive myself crazy if I tried swiping a whole paragraph. This keyboard is really accurate tho and the feature in the settings that shows where you press the keys is cool and it imports ur words from other sources so it knows you well right off the bat and with the cool default themes this keyboard is a keeper
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

As far as these trace type keyboards go, I prefer Swype. Although I understand this is still in beta. But I stay with the normal SwiftKey because I end up spending more time going back and correcting errors than it saves me.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

I didn't get into swype type keyboards until I tried the 4.2 nexus keyboard. I thought it was decent but without the auto correcting and spacing of swiftkey, I went back to it.
Same thing with the OG stock keyboard. I absolutely love this though. I keep swiftkey but I've been messing with flow more and more.
It's a beta so it has it's glitches (swyping 5 words then it goes blank once I move on to the 6th one) but when usually it works great.
I've typed out long text messages faster than I ever imagined with it. I'll be getting the official apk once it's released.

autocorrect keyboard

Does anyone have suggestion for a keyboard that autocorrects? (maybe the stock android keyboard?) I'm running Jedi but the autocorrect doesn't automatically replace the mis-spelled words I have to manually click on the suggestion, and it doesn't come with the stock keyboard.

Jelly bean keyboard pro. Working good for me. With auto correct.

Stock aosp keyboard is the way to go. Google android 4.2 keyboard apk and just install it like any other app.
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

Another option would be SwiftKey 3 which is on sale right now. I was a little bit hesitant to buy a keyboard when the stock one was so good. However, the auto correct was a big deal for me. You're right in that the others have to be manually selected. Even more so, if you accidentally start the word with a number, it then has no idea. However, with SwiftKey, everything is good to go. I am actually able to type without even looking. Part of this is due to skill at typing in general but the rest of it is how amazingly accurate the correction is. Just my two cents.

SwiftKey is a great keyboard and time saver. Been using it since the original beta.

Swiftkey is great and its prediction is near telepathic once you've used it a while and it learns from you. I have been using Swiftkey Flow lately and I like having the option to "swype". The only gripe I have is that there is no separate line for numbers. Having to long-press or change the layout to numerical really slows things down, especially at work.

4.2 keyboard.

Homemade swype keyboard

Hypothetically speaking, if one found a keyboard they liked but the only thing missing was swype, could a developer rebuild the app to include it? I'm really liking A.I.type keyboard but no swype capability is a bummer. Just curious.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

Anything is possible, though I would think that's too much work to reverse engineer something that's already available on the play store and fits 99% of people's needs.

As it turns out, while using the keyboard the app prompted me to leave feedback and of course I told them it was awesome but would love to see swype integrated and they actually emailed me last night and told me they were currently working on putting it in. :thumbup:

I really like the stock keyboard but I like the layout options they have on theirs. I can put up the "period" key, "comma" key, smiley face, mic key, and numbers keys all at the same time without needing any of them to be long press keys. You can also adjust the keyboard height from the keyboard itself without going into settings. It seems to be a lot more convenient to use the keyboard this way.
