Recent Update

FORMERLY proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy SIII.
Here's why:

It prompted me that there was an update and to do a reboot. At first it look fine and the same but as soon as I went to text someone...the keyboard I hate a lot now. It takes on a similar design to the iPod/iPhone -- I already have an iPod, I don't need this. It looked much sleeker before.
I wouldn't mind it as much as I mind how it is now in terms of auto-correction. That's the point...I'm a fast texter and now it WON'T autocorrect to the predicted text.
It will auto correct wont --> won't but if I do arent it will stay as arent. I tried texting to someone to prove how it won't work anymore and it came out as the following:
"But I seem to need to take longer to text xausw ut wojjlsnt autocoreect it judt says 'add to my word kist;". I assume that this "word list" is my problem.
Yes predictive text is still turned on, as well as auto correct.
It says it's currently running on 4.04.
I miss having it correct to the word that was next to what was inputted unless I wanted it to be spelled that way, then I would simply click my original input.
I miss the big keyboard; it's so small now and clunky-looking now.

Is this permanent or is this a bug? /:
Can I revert back to the OS before this...
Can I turn off this word list?!

I'm a sloppy texter...now it shows.

Check under the main Settings menu. There should be a section for keyboard input. Drill down and look for options for autocorrect. I have a Razr Maxx, so your menu might differ.

I get what you're saying, though I have both auto-predict and auto-substitute on.
Doesn't work still.

Have you tried rebooting? Sometimes the auto suggestion disappears for me until I reboot.

Also, is Swype available on your phone? It's worth trying.

Yup, tried rebooting it.
I may just wait until the next update. I'm getting used to it a little; tapping on the 2nd word that is.
Either that or Swype is the way to go since it's basically a bit faster and has the spell check. I may just be too used to an iPod keyboard so I tend to peck instead of swype.
Thanks though!

Take my advice--try using Swype for a few days in a row, and you'll never go back to the conventional keyboard. Swype is pretty good at figuring out what you're trying to spell, so you don't have to be ultra-accurate when you're swiping.
