Over the past few days my S6 has developed an interesting and frustrating issue.
I'm not sure if it's a keyboard issue or an auto correct issue and it seems to be most prevalent in the email app. It seems to work fine on texts or in this forum for example.
Summary of issues is as follows:
- Auto punctuation no longer works. Two spaces after a word doesn't insert a period anymore.
- Auto capitalization doesn't work anymore. This might be connected to the punctuation but it also doesn't capitalize "i" in the middle of a sentence.
- typing anything other than a letter or number results in the next character being duplicated. For example trying out enter a dollar amount like $1000.00 is nearly impossible. If you just type those characters you end up with $$000..0 The 1 turns into a $ and the 0 after the decimal becomes another decimal. Same thing happens with other special characters. Typing (a word here) becomes (( word here) or trying to use a slash is messed up too. Typing /23 would change to //3
There are other weird things with the auto correct too but this covers the bulk of the issues.
I have tried restarting. I have tried turning off auto correct and auto punctuation and restarting. I tried clearing the auto correct dictionary and the personal dictionary.
I have not done a complete reset yet...
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I really don't want to move to a different email app or keyboard if I don't have to. It worked fine for months up to this week.
Thanks,
