Is it me or did the stock keyboard in JB get worse?
For whatever reason, I'm noticing missed autocorrections. That is, autocorrections that would typically happen now sometimes don't. For example, today I saw the word "begter" which usually autcorrects to "begger" but it missed it for some reason. I've seen this happen a few times with other words ("wqnt" not correcting to "want" is another example). Why is it now missing auto corrections? This never happened in ICS.
Also, after double spacing to get a period, I can't backspace by holding down. I have to double tap backspace to get it going. I can't tell if this is some sort of "safety" feature or a glitch with the backspace. In general, backspacing is a lot slower and less smooth than it was in ICS.
I don't know what it is, but something about the JB keyboard seems like a minor step backwards. It's overall a bit less responsive and slower. My settings are Very Aggressive Corrections and Predictive Text OFF.
Not sure what happened..
And is it me, or did they sort of miss the point of shortcuts? I wish shortcuts would just automatically change to the desired phrase instead of merely adding it to the suggestion bar, which makes it an additional step to make the change. :T
Look! I'm not the only one: Issue 34866 - android - Android 4.1.1 keyboard - after double spacing for a period, holding the backspace key does nothing. - Android - An Open Handset Alliance Project - Google Project Hosting
Thoughts, you folks?
