The best thing to do is have a play around with it more.

Switch it off and it won't automatically Change a word but you'll still have the options of different words to choose.

Super,thanks you guys. 
And what about it knowing what to write. Will it just start doing that soon?

It's not great at learning from you tbh. You could use this feature though if it helps - settings > language and input > Samsung keyboard > text shortcuts.

If you want to type something, eg, kp is a bellend, you can put into the shortcut something like 'kpb' and it will automatically show as kp is a bellend in the predictive text bar so you can select it. Useful for frequently used words.

I very nearly edited that to say "I like tinned toms" then.

Ok cheers. Seems a bit long winded having to think about it and put it in myself but better than nothing.

Floating heads! 
Why do they pop up when I get a Facebook message? And how do I kill them permanently?

Can I make the time etc. show when the phone is locked without pressing a button?

Open messenger, hit settings in the top right then untick the box next to chatheads. Simples.

Chatheads. Lol. Thanks wise one.

Wow. I have just discovered swipe keyboard on my phone. I will never use the space bar again. 

Just wow.  

If you haven't used swipe before it will change you're life!

Swipe is good but it is the reason i make so many mistakes in here when pissing.














That was deliberate

Haha very good.

I do like swype but reading this review on the Internet put me off it. Swiftkey is another good one, a little bit better even, but has similar issues. 

[size=33]The worst thing about Swype is that it reaches into your contacts, messages, accounts and locations. In short, out of all the keyboard apps, it is the least private. The app could quite possibly look at your email, figure out where you are located and even take your contacts. In my opinion there is no reason for a keyboard app to know all this information about its users, so I would assume that the company is selling the information. Obviously that isn’t verifiable, but I can always have my assumptions, based on the fact that they are running a simple keyboard software.[/size]

I do actually wonder sometimes about basic apps requiring all sorts of permissions.  Access to photos even. Why?

What are you talking about?

...me as well!!

Swype is shit. Takes twice as long than actually taking your finger off the screen and pressing the letters that you are typing.

Just seen my phone has a setting for turning the brightness down so blind people don't waste their battery.
