S3 Predictive text problem

    Hi,
    I was on firmware 4.1.1 a few days ago and recently updated to 4.1.2. I used to be able to text where i would get spellings wrong and it would automatically just switch to the correct spelling and since the update it will not automatically switch to the correct word and you would have to select it in the list of words to switch.
    This is quite annoying and so much slower as what you type is what you get. If that makes any sense. Is there a setting that can bring me back to how it was? Thanks for any advice!

    Is your predictive text switched off? Settings>Language and Input> Samsung Keyboard. Make sure it's switched on.

    Trust me it's worth the 4 quid. Stock keyboard isn't great.
    Download the trial version.

    You can also download swype, but afaik it's still in beta, so you have to d/l it directly from their website, not on Play yet. I've been using it since I changed phones last year.

    Id say the next update will sort this out, really annoying! Multitasking in the update is pretty cool though. Until then if you got spare cash get the texting app mentioned above i guess.

    At least try the trial of Swiftkey Flow while the default one is awaiting fixing, I guarantee you'll buy it later when it goes full release. I plan to

    You don't need to buy it, there is a free version, the new Swiftkey Flow is free as it's a beta with new features (you can disable the flow features if you don't want)

    Swiftkey Flow isn't on the Play market yet, it is out for testing though

    Ive just bought swiftkey for the rip off 4 euro. Whats worse is that i think i just found the fix for the predictive text problem. I have a Hong Kong S3 and the default input method that was set was called Samsung Keyboard which was giving the non prediction. When i selected the Samsung Chinese IME the predictive text worked again! :) Doesnt matter Swiftkey is ok. Changing the default input method was my fix. Hope this helps!

    €4 is a rip off, WTF? It's less than the price of a pint for the developer. Most people on here including me say it's worth every cent

    Most little apps on the store are like 1-2 euro. 4 euro for a keypad app seems excessive. The original keypad was working fine before the update so i wouldnt have bought another keypad. There is one thing thats good on swiftkey and thats the different themes you can select.

    You didn't give it a chance, but you might as well now you've paid for it. The Swiftkey predictions are miles ahead of all other keyboards, it learns from you, within a week or two you will be typing full sentences without using individual characters, all by selecting predictions. Set it up with Facebook, Gmail, Twitter and SMS and it will pull in all your friends names and words you've used, but definitely give it a week to learn your language habits.
