S7 Predictive Text Issues

[Potzki]

HI all,
I have just gotten my s7 and I am having some trouble with predictive text not working. I use the 3x4 keyboard because I have bad eyesight and this is the letters on the regular keyboard are too small even in portrait mode.

The weird thing is that the predictive text works fine when I am writing a text message, but not anywhere else such as typing in the Google search area, adding new accounts into the phone ext.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Maybe not meant to work in those areas. Email addresses are not "normal" words nor are websites you may be looking for in Google search engine... does it work on the body of an email for example?

Yeah, it shouldn't be using predictive text in those areas. It's because things like email addresses and web addresses are often not proper words. So trying to autocorrect it would be annoying for the user. It just lets you type freely.

I have an S7 edge and had a S4 prior to that. The S4 had excellent predictive text and it worked really well, the S7 however, is hopeless. I use the swipe keyboard and it ALWAYS gets the words wrong where on the S4 it worked really well.

I suspect that some department has 'improved' the system and ruined it.
