I'm happy with my S3 but I come from a Galaxy Note. In S3 there's no option to add new words to Predictive text dictionary.
Are you having the same problem? Is there a way to fix it?
Thanks in advanced.

I'm used to typing with old phones keyboard and thanks to you I've realised that if I want to add a new word I have to use the qwerty keyboard.
Do you know how to delete words added to the dictionary. I could do it in Galaxy Note.
Sorry for all the incoveniences

you're great.
Thanks a lot.
Hi all! Congrats to those who got their shiny new S3s.
I would like to check if anyone is experiencing the same bug as me within predictive text:
Save a new word to the auto-substitution and/or my word list and then restart your phone.
Do your custom words disappear? Mine are not preserved after the restart.
Do test it and let me know!

Oh man, you're right. The same happens to me. I wish Samsung published a new firmware with all the discovered bugs fixed.
Please test this with your S3s people! I'll be putting in an official complaint to samsung tomorrow! Need more to confirm the presence of the bug

Just updated my gf's S2 to ICS 4.0.3 & when using the 3x4 keyboard, in the predictive txt area there is the option to add your own word, why would this be removed for the S3? Makes no sense??
Yeah same problem with mine, I spent and age adding words the first day then next day they all gone and wasn't auto learning new ones, but yesterday it started learning again and for me this is the most serious bug I ever saw on a phone.
---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------
Is there any system file to Backup/Modify/Restore because I can't afford to keep losing all my words.
Has this problem been solved in the new update?

need to change to qwerty to add words to my words list...
a restart will reset the my words list..
in smiley list under the qwerty kb there is no BIG SMILE
in S2 when using the 3x4 keyboard, in the predictive txt area there is the option to add your own word, why would this be removed for the S3? Makes no sense??
is there a way to add the words to my words list frm the pc...its sucks to add 100's of words manualy
I was never a big fan of stock keyboard...
I find it a bit gimmicky especially the predictive text
I suggest you try a third party keyboard instead... SwiftKey a much better in option in my opinion.
I've been trying to find out myself if there's any other way to add words by finding the file in the Root folder that saves my words list so I can save and replace it every time I reboot, but no one seems to know how.
Hi I have the same problem as soon as I restart my phone or switch it off all the words in the list will be deleted, my old firmware was I9300XXALE9, & after visiting the Samsung workshop to fix this issue they've installed this firmware I9300XXALEF but the same problem remain the same, please advice how to solve this issue.
BRs,
Ahmad T.
I've been digging through the Root files to try to find where it saves "My word list" and all I've found is the file:
Root/data/user/0->/data/data/com.android.providers.userdictionary.
But even with words in my word list that folder is empty, so come on there must be someone out there clever enough to find the folder the words are saved in.

Hi,
since when I updated to ICS my Xperia keeps learning every word I write and that's very annoying because it learns words with spelling mistakes etc. In GB I found an option that made the keyboard not learn the "new" words I wrote but I can't find this option on ICS. What can I do?

Setting it's there I had this problem too, but it's there! I don't have English ICS but I'll try to translate it by my way.....
Settings / Language and Input / Keyboard Xperia (click icon on right side) / Text Input Settings / Words prediction / here apply the last button like "I don't want any help during typing"
I use Slovak language so that's why my titles could be little bit different...
Thank you but that's not what I meant... I want to be helped a little (in italian there are some "special" letters the phone replaces automatically) but I don't want the phone to learn new words... However, thank you
well.. if you see that you typed your word wrong, then just use the enter key, NEVER tap words you dont want in your dictionary.
I would also like to have this feature back on my Xperia P.

I would be ever so grateful if you could take a screen shot of the following word displayed on your phone, and post it in a reply on here. I'm giving you a noble excuse to try out that fancy new quickmemo feature of yours . Please also include if you're on stock or The Base. I'm on The Base v0.7.1 and would like to know if it also effects stock.

If you're an Arabic speaker (a bit of a long shot on these forums, I know ), here's the TL;DR - س is displaying as ش when it's in the middle of the word.
If you don't speak Arabic but are still curious as to what this is all about, here's a short description. Arabic is written a bit like English cursive. The shape of a letter changes based on whether it appears at the beginning, middle or end of the word. For some reason, on my phone the letter "s" is erroneously rendering as the letter "sh", but only when it's in the middle of a word. So "Johnson" shows up as "Johnshon". As you can imagine, this is quite annoying...

Bummer. I was hoping it was just a bug that popped up in The Base that could easily be fixed, but it appears it's a bug in LG's stock Android 4.0.4. I found this post where a user is having the same problem with an LG Motion 4G...
My boyfriend would raise hell if he found that LG ****ed up the Arabic language. xD
/Uninstalls and hides phone.
Well, I managed to fix this! Someone in the IRC channel suggested I try changing the font and it really is that simple. Just find any Arabic ttf font, rename it to LG_Arabic.ttf, put it into /system/fonts (requires root) and reboot your phone. If anyone finds a good Arabic font, let me know.
Personally, I kind of like the LG font. So I just opened the original LG_Arabic.ttf in a font editor and deleted the extra three dots above U+FEB4 that aren't supposed to be there. I've attatched the modified version if anyone is interested.

Hi i have s3 and im from Lithuania and i dont know how to enable Lithuanian text correction. This option perfecly worked on s1 and s2.
For example when im typing "azuolas" it becomes "ąžuolas".

First of all, If we're speaking about "autocorrect" option, Samsung badly disabled this since JB releases to avoid a possible patent fight with Apple. In the other hand, you can enable "suggestions" in the stock keyboard; first of all make sure you have downloaded and installed your language dictionary (settings>language>samsung keyboard wheel icon>input languages) and then enable predictive text in the same samsung keyboard settings page.
If all have been done right, then you can type with suggestions, but stock keyboard will never correct your words but "suggest" the correct one in the top of the keyboard, and to put the correct word you should press the suggested one.
That was cool option. Sad that apple is destoyng all good thinks like patent smurf.
And i dont know how patent authorities let them get such patent.
I hate Apple more
This module permanently disables prediction/autocomplete/completion bar within SwiftKey keyboard.
Future versions/updates of SwiftKey might break this mod. Tested working agains versions 5.0.1.87, 5.0.2.4, 5.0.3.26, and 5.0.4.93. EDIT: No longer true as of v0.2 which should be futureproof.
Disable SwiftKey Prediction is available from Xposed Module Repository (source).
It also disables flow. Is that suppose to happen?

It is because whole prediction is disabled and flow depends on it. Solution for using flow would be only hiding the bar (while prediction/completion would still work) but I have no real intention for this as I don't use it and to get rid of all prediction effects, disabling it fully is still required. Maybe Suggestions Toggle would work better for you (but I don't use flow so I don't know...).
@moneytoo thanks for the mod. Now its perfect.
Anyway to make long press space to toggle keyboards like Google stock keyboard?
I'm just curious but why did you want to create this mod? Prediction is the main attraction of SwiftKey. I mean, otherwise I would use any other keyboard. Just wondering and no offense meant.

I want a nice looking black/dark keyboard (the stock one on my S5 is light). My primary language is Czech which (thanks to Czech declension) can never work as good as in English. I do not write texts anyway - I use it mainly for entering urls in browser so I prefer not to waste screen space as I want to see more search suggestions in browsers (or addresses history) etc.
I hate to be one of those people that asks irrelevant things in a thread, but since you are familiar with the inner workings of the Swiftke.apk, I figured you might be able and willing to help. The one thing I dislike about swiftkey is the auto-space feature that it has. Meaning after you type in a word, it automatically adds a space after. This is a huge pain in the butt when it comes to entering passwords and usernames. Do you know what file(s) in the apk would be responsible for this behavior? I could probably figure out how to change it, I just don't know where to look.

i thought the same when i saw this thread. that is pretty much the whole point of the keyboard (and flow for rapid typing), unless you only use it swiftkey for colorful themes lol, there are far better keyboards than swiftekey if you're only interested in themes. IMO
but you can disable the annoying automatic word correcting as i mention below (which is an annoying) while still keeping the prediction bar (which is very good just to use as spell checker too).

that only happens (i think) if you have "complete the current word" or "always insert a prediction" selected in settings >advanced>spacebar completion mode. i have mine at "always insert a space" and ironically it doesn't insert a space only when you select a word from the prediction bar.
you can keep the prediction bar enabled and stop auto prediction and adding a space (where words are automatically corrected in input field you didn't want) by selecting the option i mentioned above.

For 1 whole year I regularly contacted Swiftkey and asked to fix this they never fixed it, issue is Swiftkey is taking COPIED text as TYPED text. It should take typed words only (this is big reason behind inaccurate/unneeded word prediction). Could you do something about it?
Below is the email i wrote to Swiftkey:
There is one ANNOYING feature I found in Swiftkey. I checked this twice thrice and informing you. The problem is: Saving the words what we type is good but BAD/WORST part is, it also saves the words when you just copy text from other sources for example: Copying random text or paragraph from webpages, Ebooks and Documents. Those text are NOT TYPED by the user and those words get copied to internal dictionary of Swiftkey which I don't like to be predicted while I type. I copy some stuff from webpages to read it later but it doesn't mean that I like all the words in that copied text and it should not add in internal dictionary of swiftkey. Please fix this ASAP.
P.S. I have English and Hindi language packs installed. Experiment yourself. Just copy the below words in text file and save it. I would never use the below words ever. While typing, long press on the below words and hit 'Do not predict again'. It will not predict. But when you open the text file you saved and select and copy those words, they will simply added to the dictionary of Swiftkey and you'll see them come across while you type.

i always wanted to use Swiftkey because it looks good, but i hated the fact you can't turn prediction off. THANK YOU.
there is one minor bug though. the keyboard size gets messed up after changing the screen rotation. it ends up being either too tall or too short?
using it on stock-ish Note 3.

tnx, i hope you can fix it
I thought it was the obfuscated method name but it is still the same. Seems like this was caused by later versions of SwiftKey - my two months old version is ok. So it's either waiting whatever new version will fix that or go through changes within apk and attempt to fix "their" bug. I will probably try in the next few days but no promise - it's really low priority for me.
thanx
thank you so much, i hated that bar. Finally. I don't know why they don't offer that option. They have that option in ios. It makes me angry how unthoughtful people are.
Swift Keyboard Rotation Bug
I absolutely love this mod mixed with the fact that you can change the size of keyboard. Both of these combined allow me to go landscape and still be able to see conversation while typing. Same bug though when I rotate it resizes to all sorts of weirdness. Would be like the greatest thing ever if you could fix. I know you said low priority but I would soooo donate if u could figure out.
This Mod disables "Quick Period with double tap spacebar" as well. I reckon that is not supposed to happen.
not working on 5.1.0.60
this mod doesn't work for me anymore on the new version 5.1.0.60
Great fix but unfortunately doesn't seem to work on latest version of SwiftKey, tried to downgrade to 5.0.5.95 but can't install previous version somehow .. Waiting for some update mate
Hello folks!
Today it's been three days since I updated my Nexus 5 to Lollipop. It's supercool except keyboard. I don't know whether this is a BUG or a FEATURE :laugh:
This issue was confirmed by 2 more users using Android 5.0 and New Google keyboard. But users who are using new Google keyboard on KK (4.4.4) haven't experiencing such problem.
So here's my letter to Google describing the issue and a video I recorded to show what I'm actually talking about.
Hi guys!
As a iOS-to-Android switcher I would like to ask you guys a question about your new Google keyboard.
I own a Nexus 5 device with Android 5.0 installed on it.
I do use swype typing a lot. I mean really a lot)
When I type a text using Google keyboard I use a lot of “custom" words, because your Russian dictionary is very poor and lack of a lot of common words I must say. So I have to add them manually. It is a pain in the ass when it comes to adding a new word to a user's dictionary while typing a text. On KitKat with old keyboard it took 2 taps to add a new word.
Old keyboard (KitKat experience)
Steps were:
- type a word
- tap in the middle section of suggestion strip where my new word did appear
- confirm adding to the dictionary (this step is useless, really think getting rid of it please)
New keyboard (Lollipop experience)
Steps are
- type a word
- space (need to do to get word appear in the middle section of suggestion strip)
- backspace (need to do to get word appear in the middle section of suggestion strip)
- tap in the middle section of suggestions where my new word finally did appear
- confirm adding to the dictionary (this step is still useless, really think getting rid of it please)
iOS do it like ONE tap guys. Just one tap and boom! your word is on dictionary. No need to confirm, to space, to backspace or do something else. Just that simple.
Here is the video demonstrating what I’m talking about:
I can't post videos until I have 10+ posts... (Anyone with 10+ post can PM me and I'll send you a link to the video to post it here for better understanding. Thanks.)
Hope you guys'll read this letter and do your best to stick a lot of people like me with Android. I really like Android and I don’t want to switch back to iOS. But such things are driving me nuts and make me think of switching back.
Regards,
Denis.
