ok, so i'm assuming that youre using the stock keyboard, right? ok, the go to settings/language&keyboard/HTC sense input/advanced/check word prediction. if it's not checked and grayed out, that means that you have the trace feature turned on from the previous menu. turn off trace and then the word prediction will be available. hope this helps

I have a problem with my Vibrant that drives me crazy! I have a rooted Vibrant with the 2.2 update. Here's what's up:
If I am typing a text to someone and type "yu" instead of "you" it changes "yu" to "Yu", as if I was saying an Asian name. I want it to change "yu" to "you"...how do I do this? There is no user dictionary option on the Vibrant so I downloaded one off the market but it was no help.
Thanks!

I asume you are using swype . To remove a word double tap the incorrect word then spell out the word you actually want . Next time it should use the correct word.

I am not using Swype...I'm using the Android keyboard. I tried what you said but there is no way to double tap the word...long tapping saves it, and double tapping doesnt work because the first tap puts the word into the text field.
Anyone else have a suggestion!?!?
I am surprised to find Spell Checker absent on my Galaxy s3 inspite of it being ICS.
I have been using ICS on HTC sensation before this phone and have gotten use to the automatic spell check in ICS which underlines in red the wrongly spelled words. Pressing these gives you options to correct it with suggestions or to add to dictionary.
Any one found a solution for this yet?

If you have not already found it .
as above then >> Predictive Text >>>Spell correction .
If not then its your phone or your firmware at fault .

Got the same problem here. I really liked the red underlined misspelled words on my Galaxy S with stock ICS. Why did Samsung remove this feature?
It is on mine under Settings, Language and Input, Samsung Keyboard Settings (the gear icon on the right hand side), Predictive Text. Can you select Predictive Text by tapping on the word?
Tapped
Mine wont do it either....
Does anyone get a red line under misspelled words?
It seems that word correction only appears in the voice dictate mode on S3. I have predictive text enabled, but don't get the misspelled words underlined
I would donate to get this fixed on a non rooted g3

Was able to find the keyboard and install it however it didn't underline the misspelled words on the S3 as advertised in the hype around the keyboard. I that because that feature is turned off in the ROM?

Oh no. My bad . I didnt realize that the red line doesn't show up when we spelt something wrongly. I saw that words were being underlined and suggestions was given. I assume it was all working. Sorry bro

anyone? starting to miss my S1 with cm9
I have a Nexus 4 running stock 4.2.1 (rooted) and here is my issue with the gesture typing and predictive text. Anytime I try to use a word that google apparently believes is not appropriate like "****" I have to stop and and type it out. Mind you that spell check does not think it's a misspelled word so there is no option to add it to the User Dictionary. It just will not show up as an option for either predictive text or gesture typing. Obviously these words have somehow been identified in google's stock dictionary so that they are not part of the pool of suggested words - probably along the lines of how the auto-complete of google searches are now censored.
Does anybody have a workaround for this? It's incredibly annoying and I don't like the fact that google is dictating what standard English words can and cannot be part of gesture typing.
One thought I had was that the stock dictionary probably has those words marked with a simple boolean flag, so if somebody knew how to access the dictionary and reset that flag, the problem would be solved. I don't know much about android development but this can't be too hard. If I had the time I'd undertake the project myself.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Hey yeah I had the same problem... It's stupid that they blocked swear words... The only thing I figured out to get past it is that if you type in any word that isn't in the dictionary and select to add it you can type in anything you want, before confirming adding the word, including swear words and then you can type them with gesture typing. At least it works on my rooted Verizon galaxy nexus running jb 4.2.1 sorcery v4... Peace...

How do you add words to the dictionary? I'm very Android literate, and have been using Swype for a long time. The problem I have is that sometimes when I press on a word that it suggests, but doesn't recognize, it will give me the option to add it to the dictionary. Other times it will bring a box up above the word with several suggestions. It seems erratic and not very consistent.

Settings >> language and input >> Personal dictionary and then add in whatever swears/words you want and it'll work when using the gesture typing. At least it works for me.
Thanks for the reply.
Anyone else having problems since it became a paid app with it lagging a decent amount of time upon opening?

As title suggests, I updated my phone yesterday. Now, when typing, if I spell something wrong, instead of changing automatically when I press space, it doesnt change the word, even though its highlighted blue. Is this a bug or feature and its very annoying ane may force me to flash back to older version. I cant see any options in the settings menu like before, just new options to sync spelling with facebook and Twitter etc... thanks for help.
Works fine for me
There are no more options anymore in settings for predictive text. You use to be able to edit your own words and specific predictive text data but your cant edit anything now so unsure what to do. Im sure I have read else where others having the same problems?
mine is also doin the same thing. Also noticed it no longer gives you the option to change the full stop to something else without holding
gotta be a bug. why highlight in blue if it no longer has a function anything? This is going to be very annoying.
It's what made me stop using the Samsung keyboard, prediction only seems to work when you use continuous input (swype) but even with that enabled, if you tap out each letter it will not work.
Glad its not just me anyway!
Meh, Android 4.2 keyboard rocks
I like the the way the keyboard behaves now. I can type my words without the auto correcting putting in the wrong words for me inadvertently and not having problems putting in words the the prediction doesn't know about.
I will also confirm that after updating to 4.1.2 stock - the auto-correct/predictive text system in the stock samsung keyboard seems to be no longer functioning correctly.
When typing the words are highlighted in blue however upon hitting space the word isn't corrected

+1. That's the main reason I now use Samsung keyboard. If I want it to auto correct I just select on the word.

never bothered with stock Android keyboards or Samsung's effort at "continuous text input" (well I gave it 5 minutes and kicked it into touch).
There is only one keyboard for continuous text input, and why would you want to tap letters individually any way? - its called Swype...its an absolute MUST.
google it, go to website and download swype beta installer
You guys are right, auto correct has been disabled in 4.1.2. I'm really hoping it's re enabled for the next release because I've never been a fan of aftermarket keyboards. I prefer the stock one. I would downgrade to 4.1.1 but I was getting some bugs on that which have been fixed on 4.1.2. Let's all hope it's re enabled for us!
Same problem here and I hate it. I've now switched to SwiftKey because of it.

Same here. VERY ANNOYING! Why change something fundamental on the keyboard in this way? It's awful.
Regardless of what your keyboard preference is, you become accustomed to using it and it's ways until you can almost type blindfolded. Making changes like this just bugs the hell out of me!
Response from Samsung support in 2 hours :good:
I think I'll be trying Swift Key...
Samsung Support said:
Thank you for contacting Samsung.
I am sorry to hear that you do not like the features on the keypad since the latest update and i can understand it is frustrating.
Regarding your query this is a limitation of the new android version your running. However we always look forward to hearing customer feedback and comments.
I've passed your comments on to various departments who will use them to improve the products and services we offer. Thank you for your input.

Has there been any update to this or is it still the same? It's so annoying.

what other keyboards out there can help fix this bug until next patch?
Hi guys, I'm currently on the lollipop (rooted of course )build but my issue is not version related.
It involves the predictive spelling suggestions when typing. I have this problem that a lot of words were added that's misspelled so this leads to me using them a lot of times over and over again. I want to either open the list end edit them or, failing that, delete it totally and start afresh, this time trying to spell correctly. (yeah, right!) Even though the dictionary works, it has now been contaminated with misspelled words and when typing on the fly, or in a hurry, the misspelled words gets the prominent suggestion spot in the middle and then you tend to select it....
Hope my brief explanation makes sense. Let me know if I need to explain anything else or even try to add screen shots.
Nevermind, I'm such a lazy ass! I found it!
If you go to phone settings - Language & Input - Xperia Keyboard - Use my writing style - My words.
Voila!! There is the list and you can delete everything or just the ones that's wrong!
