Welcome to the forums. What device do you have and what keyboard app are you using? With Google keyboard, for example, go to settings - language & input - Google keyboard - text correction and make sure auto-capitalisation is switched on.

Welcome to Android Central! This kind of thing often seems to be due to buggy updates to the Android System Webview app. Go to your Play Store, search for Android System Webview, and Uninstall (which will revert it to the factory version). If it works after that, then wait for the next update to Android System Webview, and see if they fixed the glitch at that time.

Thanks, but cant find capitalisation or android system webview. I got an Android 4.4.2. Samsung s4 mini. BR
Thanks for registering! Yeah, it seems this bug is affecting mostly Samsung devices. As B. Diddy pointed out, uninstalling updates for Android System webview managed to fix the problem for many users.

Yesterday I had an update for this app, check the Play Store and see if it is available for you as well. If nothing works you could try downloading a different keyboard, like Google Keyboard or SwiftKey, and see if the problem persists.

Android System Webview is for Android 5.0 and above, so that's why you can't find it.

Is this the Samsung Keyboard app? As Javier P suggested, try installing Google Keyboard and see if the same problem happens.
