Predictive text

[ultimate_ed]

I moved to this S3 from a Galaxy Nexus and I'm having an annoying issue with the predictive text and the keyboard.

In the text area , like the entry window for this post, as I hit keys the phone gives predictions just above the keyboard. This part is like my nexus. However, on the old phone, the actual text would have the letters I had typed until I hit the space key or selected one of the predicted words.

With this new phone, instead of showing the letters I actually typed, out showed its current predicted word. The annoying thing about this is that I don't know Ernst key I've typed, so I can't tell if it is building its prediction from the correct letters.

Is this a deliberate part of the Samsung interface?

Yeah. It sucks. Try swipe or swift key. If you like the Samsung keyboard and want to keep it you can go to the settings go to predictive text->word completion point-> and change it to 4 or 5 letters so it doesn't do as much predicting/changing of the letters.

The first word on that predictive text area is the raw letters that YOU typed out. As you click them more often, the keyboard eventually starts picking that word as a habit

Thanks for that pointer, I hadn't picked up on that as I'm used to looking at the word entry point as I type.

I had forgotten that I had Swiftkey before. I enabled it on my S3 and I think I'm going to run with it for awhile again.

Swiftkey 3 will change your life.

Thanks to Tkbredx for the suggestion to go to settings and change the word completion point to 4 or 5 letters. That has made all the difference. Predictive text is now working like it is supposed to work.
