So I noticed recently that the samsung keyboard auto correct no longer functions.
I noticed this on ICS and now JB.
Does anyone know why this happened? I have searched the net but no solid answers.
And please before you respond with telling me to try another keyboard like every other thread that I have found I do not care and I am in no way interested in any kbs but the samsung one.
I am trying to get a solid answer if this has affected everyone or just some. Did samsung change the kb or is this just a bug that affects all or maybe just some?
Please if you have good info post. This is driving me insane and I hope to find a resolution.

I have forever. I'm one of the people who has made serval threads. You are forced to another keyboard. Samsung will help you in no way, they claim its a 3rd party app that they don't support when it's their own ****. Once I updated to li3 the Samsung keyboard along with the swype added in, are both broken and won't auto correct. It followed through to lj7 (jb). In the end I gave up because devs don't know any software tweak to fix it, Samsung support is worthless, their only excuse is it will be fixed in the next update from some reps, and yet wasn't.
In the end I was forced to use SwiftKey 3 =/ sorry to say it but go give the free version a try. There's no frustration due to no auto correct. It has 0 lag, 200% better than the Samsung keyboard, auto corrects much better, and ya. Try it out, if you hate it then un install, if you love it, thank me and buy the full version XD. I belive the free version is a 14 day trial
Yeah the stock keyboard sucks big time so I switched to Swiftkey 3 also.
I noticed the problem about the time that I upgraded to ICS as well and still having problems on JB so at this point it is a useless keyboard.
It is such a shame that it seems no one cares. I went and looked at a note 2 at BB today and it seems those as well are not auto correcting either. I wonder if they for some reason removed the feature when they added new options to the keyboard in ICS.
I wish we could just get a straight answer from someone even if it is just telling us they do not plan to bring it back.
I wish there was source available for the keyboard as we could fix it but it that is not going to happen. And I really don't enjoy using smali lol.

Does anyone ever have a problem with their Keyboard not responding when you type really fast? I type fast and for some reason when using my keyboard if I'm typing to fast it will not type the letter I press down. Its so frustrating. So now i type slower than my swype. Lame. Thinking of getting rid of this thing. J/K but is it my phone or should i get a replacement? I'm running Bonsai 1.1.4 if that helps any.
The Epic has an issue with the hardware keyboard, that if you type too fast, it doesn't respond. I believe it's just a fault with the phone. I think there's a setting to fix it, but the topic with this problem was a longg time ago and I can't seem to find it now.
Sorry!
I've heard that if you disable swype, the keyboard skips less. Haven't tested it, though.
Yup. The keyboard just sucks. Too bad because it's got 5 rows which great

I don't think it's a hardware problem. When I play emulated games using the keyboard, it never skips keys.
Ps, I just barely started using SwiftKey and it seems to not be slipping keys

I created a thread like this a long time ago. I use swiftkeys keyboard and it hardly skips a beat. When using swype then using the keyboard I found it to be much worse so I just leave it disabled it. I do not believe it is a hardware problem, it is more of a software problem. No fixes yet I believe.
give SwiftKeys a try bruda.

Same with me.... My physical keyboard skips keys quite often. I currently only have the gingerbread keyboard installed and it doesn't skip as much as when swype was installed also. I found that it skipped the least amount when I used smart keyboard. The problem is I like the gingerbread keyboard a lot more so I just have to put up with the skipping keys. I still haven't found a fix for it.
Just by intuition I want to say it is probably a buffer issue. I just don't know how that input is routed on our phones. I need to set up a dev environment and start playing with it.

Please tell us if it works! I've been having this problem forever and I HATE IT.
Turning off Swype didnt help for me. It still does it frequently. It is SOOOOO frustrating. But thats the only gripe I have so I deal...
yeah it's still skipping letters for me, but not as bad. Someone said it could possibly be an issue for when you hold down a key too long you get that stupid special character menu for certain letters. What if they could remove that? Or increase the time it takes to hold the key down in order to make that menu pop up? I mean I don't know what else it could possibly be besides faulty hardware.
Sweet thanks!
I just saw articles about this new software and it looks promising. Nuance has been doing voice recognition for a long time so perhaps they have finally brought Siri like functionality to Android.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...-a-stellar-voice-recognition-app-for-android/
Only problem is that as of now, it can't be found in the market on our phones and the market says our phone is not compatible when I search from a computer. Does anyone know how to get the .apk? I'm sure the market will allow us to download it soon but I don't like waiting.
Also, has anyone tried this on another phone yet? Any feedback?
The apk can be found in the comments in your link
Thanks. Didn't realize it was already there.
Here is the link if anyone is interested in trying it out. I'll report back my experiences once I use it for a while...

Where is the money?
As a Dragon user on the PC I can tell you that Nuance isn't known for giving things away or doing anything for cheap. Since they aren't charging for this app, at least not yet, makes me wonder where the money is.
I picked up my Note 2 today at a local sprint store. They were only given 5 and once I got mine they had 2 left. This was 20 minutes after they opened.
I have a couple questions and concerns reuarding the phone that im hoping someone can help me answer.
1. Is there a way to stop the volume from decreasing whenever i plug it into my car? The volume will always go down to half and its kind of annoying.
2. When using the keyboard to type messages, if i spell a word wrong and hit space it wont autocorrect it. Is this a feature Samsung left out? Im so used to it on my evo, i feel like i have to keep looking at what im writing to make sure i dont misspell something.
3. If im in the browser and zoom in on something it wont adjust to fit the page like the HTC EVO did. Is this also something samsung didnt include?
The main concern I have with the phone is the 3g data speeds. I am coming from the original Evo 4g and although Sprint isnt known to have the greatest speeds I never had a problem downloading an application. Today it took an hour to download myfitnesspal from the play store. I tested the speeds on speedtest.net and I was getting 33kbps down and 5kbps up. My girlfriend who also has an Original EVO 4g was getting 300kbps down and 170kbps up. Still not the greatest speed but alot better than what i was getting on the Note 2. Both phones were in the same spot and the same time. I did the test a number of times and always had the same outcome.
Thanks everyone. So far I am loving this phone and both the hardware and software are great!!
Word prediction will need to be enabled in your keyboard settings
Settings\language and input\
Also maybe try installing a different browser for your auto alignment issues

There currently no autocorrection on the stock Samsung keyboard.
Hopefully it will get pushedto us in a future OTA
Download the Jelly Bean keyboard from the Google Play store...the best keyboard you will ever use...I have never used anything else after I downloaded it. But I believe the fitting text to the screen was an Apple patent (could be wrong) but I thought I heard that somewhere

That is due to one of the headphone options to limit the intensity of volume so it doesn't damage your ears. You'll find the option it in the sound settings, after you disable it in won't change your volume to half anymore.

i agree with the Jellybean Keyboard!!! It should have come with it seeing as IT IS JELLYBEAN!!! I use the voice input constantly form the keyboard when I am emailing and texting, so when this phone "hid" the mic button and you have to press 3 buttons to get to it, I wasnt happy.... So I downloaded the Jellybean Keyboard and its awesome!!!I was having a fit last night with the browser when everytime I scroll, it zooms in, thought I was gonna throw up... so I switched to Google Chrome Browser.

There is a similar setting in advanced settings. To get true reflow you will have to use a different browser. You can thank Apple for this.

I have a new Note 2, and I'm also new to Android, so I've been posting different things I encounter with the phone.
My experience with the keyboard is one of the things I posted, copied in here.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The default Samsung keyboard on the Galaxy Note 2 is a sleeper.
Samsung included Swiftkey Flow, which allows gesture-based typing, like Swype. The more I use it the more I like it, and it has auto-suggest and auto-correct.
The number row at the top is pretty great, too, the large screen allows it all to fit. The auto-suggestions appear above the number row.
Samsung also included the handwriting keyboard, for the S-Pen. The handwriting recognition works really well, and I'm coming up to speed with it.
The main points to remember about the keyboards are these:
- auto-suggest and auto-correct function in both tapping and handwriting modes.
- in tapping mode the transition between tapping and gesturing is seamless, but if you try to use both modes within a word a space is automatically inserted.
- in tapping mode auto-correct functions only while using gestures. If you're tapping and not gesturing you have to choose among the suggestions instead of relying on auto-correct. I'm learning the cases where it's important to me to have auto-correct do its thing, like when typing "I'm". If I type it in in tapping mode, it ends up as "Im" unless I choose the auto-suggestion with the apostrophe. It's better instead to use gesture mode for "I'm" as the auto-correct will do the right thing and use the apostrophe. As I mentioned, the transition from tapping to gesturing is seamless.
- quick-punctuation and quick-capitalization functions are missing
completely. People who don't use gestures and people who've never spent time with an IOS keyboard ( and many who have ) don't get this.
I am starting to really like this keyboard. My only real gripes are the lack of auto-correct in tapping mode and the lack of quick-capitalization and quick-punctuation, but they are mitigated by long-presses.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Someone else mentioned in the thread the Jelly Bean Keyboard, and it really is an excellent keyboard, I discovered it with my Galaxy S3 and initially installed it on the Note 2. But I'm not willing to give up the handwriting recognition, so back to the stock keyboard I went.
The stock keyboard doesn't do everything, but it has its good points.
Cheers,
-John

I also came from the Evo4G, and the auto adjust feature you speak of is a HTC Sense feature. I noticed this early on after using others phones and tablets. Although a small feature for those that have had it and lost it we all know how big of a thing it really is. Still don't know why Google hasn't implemented this within current builds of Android yet.

Can you explain what Apple has to do with it, references? AFAIK, HTML can be rendered any which way the (User Agent, that is) browser wants - that's the point of markup language.

Text/browser reflow after zooming(what the op is refering to on HTC phones...similar to word wrapping in excel lol) is patented by Apple. Samsung removed it from devices last year. HTC will eventually do so as well.
Its been all over the web for nearly 2 years...you are a smart guy you can find it
The only way to get it to work on samsung phones is to, after zooming in to the size that you want, you have to double tap the screen an additional time to enable text reflow.

Hmm, that'd contradict TechRadar.com's review [/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-note-2-1093688/review/5#articleContent]:You can have the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 reformat pages when you zoom in but it doesn't do this by default, which is slightly annoying.
In fact, you have to go into the advanced section of the settings menu to dig this little gem out, which we weren't overly impressed with having to do.
Lots of people won't be aware of this - and that could lead to a second rate experience for no reason at all.
Hey I'm making this thread for a friend of mine. He has the S3 (dual core version) and he experiences quite a bit of lag when he's using the keyboard typing a message or searching the Internet.
It's completely stock, not rooted. I have LTE disabled on it. I also disabled all the transition effects on it. Don't think it made much of a difference.
Is there anything he can do to speed it up? Surely it should be lag free with a dual core on android 4.2.1.
Rooting is out of the question. He doesn't want me to mess with it.
I have same thing..... Download a trial of swift key..... It's the best keyboard ever made in my opinion. If he likes it.... Tell him to buy the full version.
It includes:
Swipe
3 language autocorrect at same time
Themes
Lag free
Free: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey.phone.trial
Paid: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey

I'm not sure why there's lag, but if he would like to try another keyboard, I recommend Swype or Swype Beta.
Granted, there's a bit of a delay when you're pressing the key one by one, but if you're just "swyping" along, it's very fast.
Go to settings and uncheck the tap sound & vibration
It got better after that
You can also try going into applications, Find samsung keyboard. Clear the data. Worked for me.

Hey thanks a lot of all the recommendations.
I'll first try the clearing the data and vibration changes, if that fails I'll see if he wants to try SwiftKey. I purchased the paid version of SwiftKey I know that's a fantastic keyboard!
I use Kii Keyboard. It's developed by a guy here on XDA, and it's available in the play store. There's a free version and a paid version, but your friend would have all the features he needs in the free version. It is the best keyboard I've ever used, but to each their own. I encourage him to try it out. Zero lag ever.

The Samsung keyboard will always lag as it tries to learn the user type style but Samsung has mastered it yet. So clearing the data brings it back to normal but will return to its laggy style after a day or two.
Stock jellybean keyboard or swift key would be my top recommendations

Ive been using it since July 2012. Enjoy!
Hey hey,
Coming from Nexus devices with pure AOSP roms I've never realized how much I took this feature for granted. On the S4 if you misspell a word it won't show up with a red underline which would usually give you an option to tap and see suggestions. This is entirely different than autocorrect (after hitting space) on a keyboard which can be accomplished with latinime or any other jellybean keyboard. I've read Samsung had to remove it for some patents regarding Apple.
Upon reading threads for the s3 and note 2 it seems that this is something that can be done by editing two files secsettings.apk & framework2.jar which is information I came across in this thread for the note2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34829337#post34829337
Does anyone think this same process might work on our S4 as well? Or is there another proven mod already to get the dearly beloved red underlines back?
Not sure if anyone has figured this out yet. I admit it's the one thing that bothers me after moving from iPhone to Android. I flashed the 4.3 Google edition ROM to see if there was any difference but unfortunately it's still lacking. The improved keyboard/autocorrect has made things more tolerable, however I've still missed some misspellings in my work e-mails
With CM 10.2 nightlies out I may be switching soon, but I'm curious if anyone has come up with a solution.

This feature is a part of the keyboard.apk rather than the phone itself. There are dozens of alternate keyboards on the Play store. Many have the redlining feature. You don't even have to be rooted to replace the keyboard
