So when i had my stock htc keyboard befote i rooted i loved it. It knew what i meant to type, made the correct suggestions and the most accurate autocorrects. Then i flashed the gb keyboard when i was using warm. It was a big step down in terms of prediction and auto correct but still worked. However now that i am actually on a gb rom, evokings gb v8 (evervolv), everything has just stopped working and its driving me NUTS. it doesnt auto correct, doesnt predict and fimish my words for me, doesnt input a period after two spaces. Let me give you some examples. If i accisentally type looj, why the hell wouldnt it turm that into look? Note the above errors in that sentence that i didnt even mean to type that it shpuld have easily corrwcted. Before when i typed prob, it would turn that into probably as soon as i hit the space bar. Also it would do punctuation ofr me, like turning doeant into doesn't. I have double checked all my keyboard settings. Its taking me like 3 times longer now to type a mesaage because i have to go back and correct all the minor errors. What changed and why doeant the keyboard work how it should? Somebody please help me out

Did you manage to get around this issue? Have the same problem on my desire. And to make matters worse my typing seems to be getting worse with every passing minute :-( it is becoming practically impossible to type in portrait mode. Is there a keyboard recalibration setting somewhere?

I've switched to go keyboard. It's doing a decent job but don't know how safe it is to use this keyboard. It can record key strokes and there arent too many reviews either

Does this only occur in the browser?
Hi guys. I'm new on this forum.
I've been trying out a number of different roms out there on my S4 until I found the one I like. FoxHound Diamond Dogs 3.4. With norwegian regional settings. Based on Android 4.3 I believe.
But I've discovered something weird while typing. Anywhere on the phone. While SMS messaging, typing URLs in the web browser, typing on facebook etc. The phone doesn't want me to type the letter combination "ae". Instead it replaces them with the letter "æ".
In norwegian we put an "-en" ending to a word sometimes. Pretty much like you in english would put a "the" in front of a word.
For example cola and colaen (the cola). My phone somehow interprets that as I want an "æ" letter. And it refuses to let me go back and correct it and it drives me nuts! Sofæn, colæn etc.
Is this some kind of feature in this ROM that can be deactivated somehow?
Some sort of typing assistant or something.
I installed the swiftkey keyboard to see if that fixed it but it didn't.
Any ideas?
Bump!
Bump!
I have the same problem! Using FoxHound 4.4, awesome rom, but the "ae" to "æ" is driving me crazy
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Already tried another keyboard app, but still the same?
Already Tried to check the keyboard setting? Uncheck automatically replace?

Yes. Swiftkey is installed, and the problem is still there. Also checked the settings, cannot find anything that would explain the replacement. Weird..
Anyone else see this? Does anyone know the specifics on what the update does?

Where do you see it?
Yep, got it two days ago. I have since switched to SwiftKey. No desire to try it.
i would like to know also
Just got the notification this afternoon and downloaded it. I switched back to SwiftKey a few days ago, but the LG keyboard did have promise, so I'll check it out soon.
No idea what has been updated.
Seems like European D855 never get keyboard updates. Isn't even listed in app updates.
Today my european d855 got the new keyboard..
Isn't there new features to set collor of the keybord and keyboard hight etc.. Its good changes.

whats the version number?
It's 5.0.27.
I find it laggier, but need to test it more to be sure.
Just updated it. Can't notice any difference at all. No idea what they changed tbh.
I just received the update in my LG D855! Version 5.0.27 and about 46mb! I found new updates in predictive language
I get this update too 5.0 27 and it's install automatically....i don't know the difference
Sent from my LG-D855
Got the update here in India as well a few days back. Looks to be under-the-hood stuff. Probably optimizations rather than anything major. A lot of people had previously mentioned that the 'lag' on their phones noticeably reduces when they disable/uninstall the LG keyboard(there are a couple of threads about this 'tweak' as well) - So maybe there was indeed some poor memory usage or implementation that LG identified and fixed.
Anyway, never really liked or used stock keyboards. Swiftkey is the best when it comes to localized words/dictionary & cloud-sync.
I never noticed the ability to use handwriting before. Maybe it was always there but I just didn't see it.
For me the update just changed the predictive text. If you type car for example it would show an emoji of a car (stupid imo) and now if you type 2 words with similar character it will auto correct to the last one you used so constantly auto correcting to the wrong word for me making it unusable

press then hold the gear icon on the left side of spacebar. then select the pen icon.
if you haven't downloaded any language yet, turn on wifi then select the language you want.
then do the press then hold the gear icon...
I have own a Droid bionic, droid maxx, Note 3 and now the S7 edge. Every one of them the mmajority of the time type crazy when I type on browsers. Notice the double "m" in mmajority? That is an exampl. (that "e" mmissingis aanother example.) (That entire sentence is an example!)
I am just typing and hitting the word predictions at the top and it will add double letters, it will add double spaces ssometimes and and none other times, whenI use a period, it removes thelast letter of thelast word. (I am leavingthe mmistakesin so youcan see what it is doin).
I use SwiftKey but it also is hhappeningon thestock bbrowse. I havewiped the app data but it hhasn't helped. It happens on all bbrowsers, but it ddoesn't happen in any other app like texting.
Doesaanyone know what is causingthis and how to fix it? Like I sai, tthis has happenedon eeveryaandroidI haveowned. Itmakes me want topunch ssomeonein theface! Why has aandroidhad this pproblemfor the last 5 years!?
You might try with another fully configurable soft keyboard, for example Smart Keyboard Pro.
If it wasn't so serious (to you) it would be funny
It actually reads very funny when you type. Apologies.
The way of typing isn't related to what browser you're using, it's probably SwiftKey. Try some other keyboard or the standard keyboard, see if that solves your problem
Both the stock keyboard and sSwiftKey do it, I really don'tlike theoothers I have tried but I wwill ccheck them. Like I said, it does nothhappenat all in apps or text mmessagin. I think it has something to do with my auto correct built into the phone. I use to turn it off but now I ccan'tfind it. I can oonly find thesspecific kkeyboard setting. I have typed this wwithstock sSamsungkkeyboard so as yyou cansee, I ddon'ttthinkit is swiftkey.

isn't the stock keyboard made/produced by SwiftKey? have you tried the latest version of Google Keyboard or Chroma Keyboard?

I didn't know tha ! I will try one of thos . Thanks!
weird, i never had that issue
I wonder if you have this saved in your dictionary. Or turn off auto correct and auto spacing would prob solve your problem
I have this problem too and I use Google Keyboard. Its only when it corrects something or I input a suggestion and space. I've somehow learned and managed to deal with it.
So far using the Google keyboard it seems much better. It is just weird that I have had this problem with all 4 phones I have had over the years. And it has always only happened in the browser.
I've used swiftkey for a few years, and have none of those problems. If it has happened on all those phones, and multiple keyboards, I think it may have more to do with the way you're typing than the keyboard or phone you use.
Does anyone know what's going on here? I reset to manufacturer settings, use swyft or Gboard and still the same thing happens no matter what app I installed first. So I don't think it's a foreign app that is causing this to happen. Any additional advice will help. Thank you.
This example shows Clash Royale after using Gboard (Google a keyboard) which doesn't happen on any of my other devices with the same exact apps installed.
Using stock 7.1.2
I find it hard to believe this hasn't happened to anyone else on any other device. It almost disables my phone at times.

It might be some sort of accessibility setting on 7.1.2 to make it easier to read what you are typing. I only ran 7.1.2 for a couple of days but I never noticed anything like that. I would go through all the settings and see if anything is enabled that appears to be pertinent to your issue. It sure looks like an intentional feature rather than a bug.
