Samsung Keyboard deleting letters as I type

[NorthLondonGunner]

Hi guys,

When I'm typing with the stock Samsung Keyboard occasionally it deletes the first letter of the word I'm typing automatically. This is really annoying because then it predicts a completely different word to the one I initially meant to type. Has anyone else got a similar issue? And is there a known fix? Also, the issue is only with Samsung Keyboard, swiftkey works fine.

Cheers.

Same problem here. Usually erases first letter or two! It's very annoying

Download swift keyboard. It's awesome and you can back up your typing habits. It's the only keyboard I've used on Android for a long time.

Welcome to Android Central! Try going to Settings>Apps, select your keyboard, then clear cache/data. If that doesn't work, then have you tried another keyboard app?

Turn off predictive text. It worked for me.

What found was it takes awhile for it to learn your words and if you keep correcting it with the it will get better at predicting.
