Correction bar missing - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I updated my phone to the latest firmware and for some reason when typing the corrections bar that is usually above the keyboard is gone and I have no idea how to get it back.
I'm hoping that someone can help I'm sure I'm just being special.
Thanks

Keyboard and typing problem

I was having a problem with my tablet that I thought a update might sort so I rooted it and tried a few different roms but am still getting the same problem when am typing something. You know when you make a mistake and you can touch the area you want to fix by either deleting or changing a letter well when i do that the the line wont stay on that spot it just shoots of somewhere else every time
I have the same problem!!!!!

Same here, it's really annoying. I have to admit it's somehow better after the latest update but not completely fixed!

That's why keyboard with arrow keys is useful.

Indeed, sometimes becomes useless...pity.

Pull down notification bar?

Currently running cyanogenmod on my 7.7, I would prefer the 'phone' interface with the pull down notification bar, is there any way that I can enable this?
Thanks

I think this requires a dpi change . I'm not sure, but I'd be interested in trying this out. It'd work kinda like the Nexus 7.

Set swipe-down gesture (on any decent launcher) to "open notification".
Yeah, swipe down notification like a phone, but i wanna it workable on landscape too

I don't understand why anyone likes the pull down bar, to me the most natural place is at the bottom of the screen where my thumbs rest. It's hassle to have to move to the top of the screen. What advantages is it to have the bar at the top?

The term pull up bar was already taken. And no one likes pull up bars
You can change it with modifying the build.prop file and change the settings for:
ro.sf.lcd_density=160
I think if you set it to 240 it will run in so called "phablet" mode and you have the Pull down bar.
I tried it, but almost broke my installation, as the screen stayed totally black after a reboot.
So i stopped fiddling with this option.

Notification light

Done a test and it's working but when receiving texts it doesn't blink. Pulse is ticket in settings.. Any ideas what could be wrong?

Thanks for the link, but I wish it wasn't required!! Seems kind of pointless having an LED with the default settings, possibly a firmware bug?
Note:
On the up side, after installing that app, I'm yet the find a colour the LED can't manage
Yep thanks for the app and yeah agree should be stock android to pick colours

[Q] Auto-correct

I just upgraded from an EVO LTE to a GS4. I am missing the auto-correct that I had on HTC's keyboard. On the EVO I could blaze through texts while it would automatically insert the correct word. So far, I cannot find this option on the GS4 keyboard. Does anyone know if this is an option and if so, how do you turn it on?
I would like to know as well. I been using swift key flow but I like the stock keyboard just missing auto correct

I am glad you mentioned SwiftKey! I forgot that it has autocorrect. I still wish the stock keyboard had it though.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Your welcome. i have the paid version of it and i love it. i got it a while back when it first came out and then there was a sale with that and several other good ones. But it has improved and its incredible. just needs better themes.

Auto correct

So I was wandering around all the s3 forums and I saw that they had a zip to flash that enabled auto correct and I was wondering if it would be possible to make one for the s4 I would be more than willing to throw a donation out there for it

Ummm, the defaut Samsung keyboard comes with auto correct.
You didn't specify which keyboard you are using.
It's much easier to help you if we know what you're using.
I am on the stock samsung keyboard on the s4 and there is no autocorrect unless im blind. There is text prediction but no auto correct

Ok, I guess I'm confusing text predict with auto correct.

I don't know of an autocorrect zip but Kii keyboard is free and has an awesome autocorrect. You could give it a try it sets up much like the stock keyboard.

Perhaps some of the code used for the Note 2 will work for the S4?
