Auto Correct No Longer Works After Update to S.GB27

[colalounge]

I connected my phone to Kies last night and saw there was a firmware upgrade. I went through went the upgrade and noticed it appeared to be a total remake of the phone. I am liking some of the changes and hope they solve previous issues I had after the ICS update.

One thing I do not like is the new keyboard. Aside from the look and overall redesign, the auto correct feature no longer works. Now you guys know auto correct is a must when using a touch screen.

I am wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if so, have you found a solution?

By the way, is this Jelly Bean I am now using? Can't figure out if it is a Samsung update or Android update?

I also haven't been able to figure out the lack of auto correct.

The lack of autocorrect is likely due to using the stock JB keyboard. Switch it out for something better. Stock KB's always suck. I suggest Swiftkey 3.

I'm using the Swype keyboard.

I purchased Swiftkey4. Shouldn't have had to spend that money- but oh well. I am used to Sprint/Android/Samsung mucking things up after an upgrade. I'll never buy another Samsung phone. Couldn't pay me to get an S anything ever again.

Hunh. I tried Swiftkey3 but it did weird stuff. I'm sticking with Swype. Autocorrect seems to work for me.
