Hi,
yesterday, I've received an update which I've installed now:
AP,CP: I9505XXUAME2
CSC: I9505VFGAMDC
Since then, the stock email app is acting very weird. When writing text, as soon as you use any punctuation, exclamation mark, question mark... , the cursor goes crazy and jumps around, making weird corrections to text that has been previously written. Even just copy/pasting an URL into empty email and trying to enter new line will have weird, unusable result.
This bug is easy to repeat:
- open stock e-mail app (not gmail!)
- start writing a new email
- write a sentence in a language of yours (I've tried English, as well as my native language that's supported on the phone)
- as soon as you enter any of the following: . ! ? and press enter (new line), the just written sentence will get split in two and some random editing will be applied as well
Anyone else experienced such behavior? I'm on stock firmware,not rooted, stock keyboard.
Not keen to factory reset just yet, as it involves a looooot of re-setting everything
Thanks!

Very similar bug appears on mine too.
It renders this phone unusable for business purposed, Exchange client is totally broken.
I'm unable to respond to work emails!
What a disappointment, how could it pass QA????!!!

Installing Swype keyboard from the Google play solved this problem! It's some kind of bug in SwiftKey, stock keyboard is based on SwiftKey. There's incompatibility between stock keyboard and stock email client.

At first I thought it was swiftkey causing the issues so then went back to stock and it did the same. The explanation above saying that stock is based on swiftkey may explain why.
I've since installed AquaMail as a stopgap....swiftkey and stock keyboard work as intended with this.
And, to be honest, even though aqua mail was going to be a temp solution, I'm quite, no, very much liking it and will probably continue to use it as my main client.

To wrap it up. There are two solutions:
1. change your keyboard to Swype or anything EXCEPT stock keyboard and SwiftKey
2. change your email client without need to change your keyboard (!!!)
It's an obvious bug that should be fixed in future software releases.
There is a third alternative
3. Disable the auto-correction option on the standard keyboard. The suggestion will stay on, so you can touch the corrected (or predicted) word to change what you typed, but it will not be inserted automatically when you touch only the space bar. Which is not too great a penalty

Same issue for me....is this what Samsung meant when it said the phone is a Life Companion - it will give you **** problems same as life does?
hey guys, I had a quick question if anyone can help me out. when I first got the Galaxy s4 I remember that it used to remember my email address and when I would type the first three letters the whole thing would come up on the stock keyboard. I know a lot of people don't like the stock keyboard but I thought it was pretty decent. Recently however, I got a replacement s4 and for some reason it cannot remember my email address. I've looked through the settings and can't find anything to address the issue. anyone know of anything that can help me out? I like using the stock keyboard so I don't really want to switch but maybe there's a setting that I'm missing? Thanks!

When you type in your email address, once you are done it should show up in the suggestion fields. Tap on it in that field and then the system will remember it.
I have had my Gs4 for 5 months and a very annoying issue has recently arose.
Normally, while typing using the default Samsung keyboard it would remember commonly used words such as my email address or company name. Mysteriously this feature has disappeared. I checked under settings and both predictive text and personalized data are enabled. I haven't changed any keyboard settings and just forgot all my words and doesn't seem to be able to relearn them.
I was so frustrated that I went back to swiftkey. It learns my words perfectly but I have been really spoiled with the dedicated numbers row on the Samsung keyboard. I just wish it would work properly. Please help! Thanks.

Yeah it's the Samsung keyboard. I like SwiftKey but they refuse to add the dedicated numbers up top. Samsung needs to issue an update asap!

I'Ve had this issue too. And what I did was I went to the predictive text input menu and i went to the bottom of the menu and deleted all data.
Then it worked again
Hi,
I have the Samsung Galaxy 3 gt-19300.
Problem:
- When I close apps. this is how I do it:
1. I press the middle button.
2. I then swipe the app so it closes.
BUT the main problem is, it is still running in the background (using ,ram,battery,etc)....
why is this?. is it because of the way I am closing it???
thank you.
Just to let you know this is the wrong section. This is the Sprint Variant of the Samsung Galaxy s4.

Just recently my stock samsung keyboard on kit Kat note 3 lost all of my saved dictionary words. Now that I try to save them again as I type them, it won't remeber them. I'm stumped. Anyone know what's going on? Thanks for any help.
