[Q] predictive text / autocorrect turns "off" on its own - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i seem to be running into this every now and then, where my predictive text / swipe / autocorrect turns itself off in my messages (texting).
i check my settings, and all seems well; its not something im "doing", it just happens every now and then.
now,, i am using a Gear 2 neo watch, and sometimes use side-sync for typing, ect when im at my computer at work. could the side-sync app be confusing the phone somehow? turning my autocorrect off?
seems like the only way to get it back up and running is a phone reset, which is getting a little annoying to be honest.
thoughts?

Text input lag

Has any body else noticed a lag when entering text using the keyboard. I am getting quite quick now but it seems like the phone has trouble keeping up.
Also, a huge thank you to all the guys how work hard producing applications and ports for this forum.
Yep...must be normal for WM6
My TyTN II had the lag, My Raphael had the lag and YES, My X1 also has the lag when I first start typing messages.
I've come to expect it with WM6.x...
My text input lagged at times after I installed Touchflo 3D and had it running.
You would think that with all the things the phone can do with ease, it would not have a problem imputting text............

I Initially found a lot of lag with my X1 keyboard input but solved it by turning off 'Word Completion' - it seems the keyboard itself is not lagging but the phone trying to predict what word you are typing slows the whole thing down. I personally dont think predictive text is required with a QWERTY keyboard so I have turned it off and no lag since Can be found in Settings\Personal\Input\Word Completion\"Suggest Words When Entering Text"

I turned that off a while ago, it didn't help that much.
The only thing that seems to work for me is a soft reset.
ÅÄÖ lags also on the swedish model. When typing ÅÄÖ they can be located anywere in the text, a VERY odd bugg!

How to turn off word suggestions?

Could someone tell me how to turn off word suggestions.
I turned everything off in settings but they still appear.
Me too, this sucks, i want to disable this all together.
In your messaging, click the little slider that says "ABC T9". Make sure it slides to ABC. Magically, it doesn't predict text anymore.

Jumpy touch input in Messages app?

Has anyone experienced an issue in the HTC Messages app where you tap a message thread, and the green highlight suddenly jumps to another thread entirely and opens that? I've been experiencing this issue more and more lately and it's getting quite frustrating. I'm not really interested in switching apps...tried Handcent and didn't really like it. Stock app is reliable and functional. Curious if there's a way to alleviate this.
Yes...mine has been starting to do that aswell. Not sure what the cause it...but I never experienced it until a week or two ago. I almost sent a text to the wrong person and it would have been very, very bad.
happens to me to
i have the same issue. it also happens when i have to click and hold for deleting and calling that person. also before the update with scrolling through the thread of messages it would spazz to the bottom before i could do anything
Happens to me more often than not. I'm constantly catching myself about to send texts to the wrong people.
this isn't the same issue but i couldn't type at all. I'd click the box to reply to a message and the keyboard would pop up (i use swype) but i couldn't do anything. then i switched back to the regular keyboard and when i started to type a search box popped up at the top and started typing there, ignoring the already open text input box. I had to type my message in the search box then copy and paste it into the message box. Force closing the app then redoing it worked fine.
some thing screwy with this app...

if you're using a task killer, make sure that swype is on the ignore list, or it could get killed, and then needs to be restarted for it to show up (I believe).
I'm also having the issues with the touch jumping. It's usually from the second person from the top, jumping down to the second to bottom in the stock msging app

Extremely Annoying Android Bug....

Hey there,
I have a question about a possible Android bug that has had its annoyance on me for quite a while now. Sometimes when I wanna type something into a text box and it doesn't show up whatsoever in the text box at all. I feel the vibrations of the keys while I'm typing, and I also seen that the dictionary recommends and corrects words right on top of the keyboard as if I'm actually typing, but nothing shows up in the text box, I usually have to wait three to four minutes before it goes back to normal and it starts showing the letters I type in the text box, I use a different keyboard other then the default Android one, but the same thing also happens with that keyboard as well. It has never done this before and started about one month ago, my HTC Legend is obviously rooted and I currently run a Stock ROM of Android 2.2, is this a known bug? Is there a fix for it? Thanks for the help.
thats sounds like your legend lags.... does it help after freeing the ram? eg. using task killer...
That used to happen to me as well but only while typing in landscape mode. When I'd transfer back to portrait it would be fine. Usually closing the app I was using would fix everything. Since I started using smart keyboard pro I only use portrait mode so don't even know if it happens anymore lol

Hey guys thanks for the help, I also use Smart Keyboard Pro and it even happens on that keyboard as well, I have a task killer and exit the app, and close all apps via the task killer but no luck, it usually needs a few minutes and it starts working fine. But I'll see about the landscape and portrait mode. Thanks for the help again guys.
If it bugs you that much try flashing another ROM. That sounds exactly like a bad case of lag, as psyionx suggested. It would be worth it!

Google Keyboard (Gboard) not behaving nicely sometimes

Anybody getting weird behaviour from Gboard? Like not registering glides or some keypresses? Sometimes even registering extra keypresses? It feels like my S8+'s touchscreen sensitivity goes haywire sometimes when trying to type
I don't use glide but everything else works just fine.

Some times it doesn't display the suggested words at the top. Just today when replying to a text and I press on the text area, the messages exits rather than bringing up the keyboard. Not sure if that's gboard or not. Bearable for now. I imagine it will get better rather than worse.
