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.

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong location, but my Swype no longer auto spaces correctly. Rather than adding a space every word, it has started to add a space every 2 words. I now have to hit the space bar after every word I type. I have reinstalled Swype and it still has not fixed the problem. I have done a search on XDA and the net and still cant find a solution. Any thoughts from you guys?
I have the same problem. It's what made me stop using it. The only way mine would fix (and I know this sounds weird) is to delete all my messages. I moved on and now I'm using Resco Keyboard. Much better than the stock kb.
Yeah I ended up doing a hard reset because I was having so many problems with the phone. Now everything is back to normal. I might check out Resco Keyboard.
Why don't you switch to the latest version of Swype? It's great!
v3.19.20.20.6343
There is a small issue with Auto Spacing not working with HTC Messaging and Twitter. That can easily be fixed here.
Believe me, there is no on-screen keyboard that holds it's own in a contest with Swype. This thing is what got me off Hardware Keyboards.
swype never works for me!!! haha

the dll didnt work on my tp2 to fix the errors
That's because it's not for the Touch Pro 2...you are in the HD2 forums...
So I searched and couldn't find a direct answer basically here it goes,
I'm using CM7 and the gingerbread keyboard that comes stock. This has been happening since alpha and it slows down my texting. I'm a big texter, and I send about 25-35 thousand texts a month. So I need this to be fixed!
What happens, is that when I'm normally texting sometimes letters will automatically type themselves twice. Such as if I'm texting the word "always" it will usually come out as "aalways" and it looks dumb. I love the gingerbread keyboard but I might have to result in using another keyboard if this continues!(Does this drain battery life?) I don't want to use swype.
If there's a fix let me know! And I checked for a calibration setting and couldn't find one :/
Also happens to me. I just go back and fix it. It's not a HUGE problem, but it's there.
Happens to me also. I Googled it to make sure I'm not the only one. I was starting to think I had the beginning signs of Parkinsons. It's good to know I'm not the only one.
I've also noticed that there are times when the auto-suggest does not work. If you stop typing for a few seconds it comes back. And I've also had a problem with the keyboard not responding as fast I am typing and I have to slow down so it can keep up.
Did you try downloading a different keyboard from the market?
Yeah I'm actually using a downloaded gingerbread keyboard from the market. It just happens often enough to slow down my texting.
myTouch4G+Custom ROM
Yes, this is a frustrating reoccurring issue. Sometimes it'll even give you double letters of two of the first letters in a word, for example, "like ththis." It's especially ridiculous when it happens to only two letter words, like "to" for example, which results in "I'm going toto the movies."
I've filed a report with Google, so please visit the link and star and add your own testimony if you wish. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=14755
I even made a video demonstrating the problem to show Google. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUZdvr6Pdjk
Smart Keyboard Pro was my solution. Got tired of always getting "toto" when I type "to." And I also always get the doubt first letter on the word.
I'm on an epic 4g and I have this problem also. If you turn on the language packs when you push space bar and a quickly it wont register the "a". This problem doesn't occur nearly as often when typing with the language packs off. Just another thing to add to the complaint ;-)
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..
I've been using my S5 for a couple weeks, rooted on 4.4.4 NI2. Mostly I'm using the Samsung keyboard since I actually like the layout. Autocorrect has increasingly developed very strange tics which are extremely frustrating, especially since it doesn't let you backspace and correct the word (if you try that it'it'll just "correct" it over and over again, the only solution being to type another word after and then insert a space between them). For instance, one "word" which has spontaneously appeared in my predictive text is it'll'll. It seems to have particular trouble with words using an apostrophe.
Is there any way to root out this obnoxious behavior? When I refurbished my S3 and wound up on 4.4.2 I ended up disabling autocorrect because of similar issues.

You could try going to settings, application, Samsung keyboard and clearing data (maybe cache too if that doesn't work). I also saw where some people said they went to language and input, Samsung keyboard settings, unselected predictive text. Turned off their phone. Then went back and reselected it and it worked better. I like the google keyboard so I don't have these problems.

Well I tried the second option and we'll see how it goes. If that doesn't work I'll try the first option. I'm worried it'll unlearn some of the words I taught it, like "them", "form", and "easy". I heard it had a problem with 4 letter words but I didn't expect those to be among them!
Samsung Keyboard is unusable!
I tried clearing the data, the cache, resetting the predictive text. . . none of it worked. Samsung keyboard seems to have a tic when I use the apostrophe which causes it to insert text that repeats what I just typed. This is coupled with an insistence on "learning" every misspelling I make as the correct way to spell a word and then refusing to change it.
I deleted some stuff when I rooted my S5, more than was recommended in the thread. Maybe that's the problem? Because there's no way Samsung Keyboard could have a big this bad.
Maybe it's time to upgrade from the stock ROM to Eclipse, though I suppose it might not be any better because it's a keyboard problem. Trying different keyboards now.
Do you use S8 stock keybaord or SwiftKey or Gboard? if you use different keyboard can you give reason ?

Stock keyboard is very very good..
I've always been a gboard user however it doesnt sync dictionary data if you have secure folder installed. This forced me to switch to swiftkey. In the start it felt horrible to me but I've grown accustomed to it and can't even think of switching to another keyboard now! Its amazing.

Just another friendly SwiftKey user here. I like the thumb layout and the predictions are spot on. I will never switch from SwiftKey..... ever.

I used swiftkey for a year...then switched to Gboard when the S7 came out. Just recently I switched back to swiftkey on my S8. Both are pretty good but I think the predictions are slightly better using swiftkey.
Gboard!
Swiftkey since years
Swype
I am using SwiftKey and the answer is simple - better predictions! I mostly type in another language and it learns my typing pattern much better than Gboard. I can't really use Samsung's keyboard as it doesn't recognize a lot of words and they remain uncorrected.

How's voice dictation with swiftkey? Is it accurate? Because I use Gboard because it's great for texting in two languages at the same time. I use English and Spanish simultaneously. .
I've always used google for just about anything. Their vault of metadata is probably enough to make an exact replica of me.
Anyway, I used Gboard. the samsung keyboard annoyed me with it's poor suggestions - and the fact it wouldn't auto space for google searches in the browser (I'm sure there's a setting somewhere I didn't bother looking for) was awful. I tried swift, but Gboard is fantastic. Plus my nerdy coworkers (dev here) thoroughly enjoy m(or secretly hate) the massive amounts of easily searchable gifs I can send from gboard easily.
I've always used FLESKY KEYBOARD.
Swiftkey. I first used it trough an update on my OnePlus One where it became the stock keyboard.
Have you tried BlackBerry keyboard?
From BlackBerry manager
I've been using SwiftKey since my S3 - for config options and prediction text...
Took me a while coming from gboard, but i changed to Stock keyboard and everything goes very well
swiftkey, its the only one that allows arrows keys on keyboard, and I much prefer the arrow keys than dragging the dot thing around
I use Swiftkey as my primary keyboard as I'm so used to the Urdu layout. I also use Gboard sometimes when I have to write something through voice. It also gives me the ability to speak in Urdu language, and it types in urdu.

Alright, so I am not the only one to face the auto spacing issue. Doesn't auto space on chrome, so I tried their stock browser, doesn't work there either.
Even though, in the settings I have set it to auto spacing.
I was using Gboard for the past 2-3 years, but now I am trying to get use to everything samsung stock.
