Anyone elses predictive text disappear on their phone? Had my phone since launch and noticed today my predictive text option along with others such as continuous input are now missing. Checked a buddy's note 5 and he has them in his phone. Tried clearing the data out of the keyboard app and reseting keyboard setting but no luck. I'll attach a screenshot of what my settings look like.

Hey brother, I had the same issue yesterday. You will need to put your phone into safe mode, then you should see the option. Once you see it again, reboot your phone into normal mode.
To put in Safe Mode, Turn off phone. Reboot by holding the power button for a couple seconds. Once you see Samsung on the screen, hold the volume down button until you see Safe Mode in the bottom left of the screen. You should now be able to go into your settings and you'll find the Continuous Input option!!! Then Reboot and you should be good to go!!! :good:
Sweet! Thanks a bunch man.

So after doing this I had to re-enable a few accessibility services and after a while I noticed predictive text was missing again. Long story short it seems like I enabled the optical reader accessibility service and when that is enabled predictive text disappears.

hmm, I didn't lose the predictive text when I enabled the optical reader. I will continue testing.
Not sure if you use it, but if so, do you have any issues with the Direct Call feature?

I know it must be on this board somewhere, I'm having a problem with learned words in my predictive text. Galaxy S7 Edge. On my S5 there was a way to disable learned words, I cannot seem to locate it inside of the keyboard settings on this phone. Please help
I'm having the same problem with my predictive text disappearing. Thanks for the suggestion on rebooting into safe mode it brought it back, but after period of time it disappears again.
It is related to the optical reader setting for me. Turn it off and the predictive bar comes back. The reason why booting into safe mode fixes it, is because safe mode turns off accessibility for all listed apps.
Anyone experiencing this issue, I encourageyou to call Samsung at 800-726-7864 and report it and make them create a trouble ticket. Yeah it will wast a half hour of your time, but maybe it'll get this bug worked out.
Samsung Galaxy S7
Having the optical reader turned on under System / Accessibility causes missing predictive text problem with the Samsung Galaxy S7. Even the tech support staff in the store or on the phone couldn't solve the problem. Nathan's suggestion worked. Thanks.
Now to report this problem to Samsung and my cellular carrier.

I noticed after doing the safe mode method the apps I had enabled under Accessibility>Services (one of which was optical reader) are now "off".
Are you installing "optical reader" from the Galaxy apps store? If so, that's breaking it.
Edit: I see you noticed it in safe mode. That happened to me a while back also.

Swype
Is Swype available on stock fw, if yes how could it be activated?
It's all in the first post! It's kind of like a cut down version, it's a mash up of the samsung keyboard and swype.
I have installed the swype beta, and while on the s3 the swype keyboard height is about a third shorter than other keyboards I still prefer it over the stock.
If you want a real swype experience then your better off applying for the beta, the version in the s3 is very limited.

For some reason the Swype installer doesn't work on mine. When I run it, I get a parsing error.
I'm quite liking the built in Samsung 'swype' feature. But then i'm new to this kind of input, but it's def quicker and more accurate for me than using the standard way. My girlfriend loves Swiftkey on her GSII though and i may try that at some point.
In regards to tips, when in the contact list, you can swipe along the right hand side and flick through the alphabet quicker, as usual, but if you push your finger further left while doing this it will then narrow the search even more.
Hope that makes sense!

After activating it from motion settings, gently double tap on the top of the phone to go to the top of a list, unfortunately it only works in contacts and email. Another thing is that it sometimes needs more than one trial to work!

Must install Light flow from market as well. It uses the LED function of SIII to max. You can customize 8~9 colors for various alerts. e.g i use orange for low battery, red for missed calls, green for missed sms, white for charging, green for full charge, blue for no signal etc.
Although sometimes the charging light doesn't come on when playing around with phone and switching it to sleep mode but hopefully fix will fix this issue.
Must have app though

I managed to get Swype installed on my stock Pebble Blue.
Got Swype Installer & attempted for about 10 times over Wifi before it finally started downloading.
Before that, I kept getting the "Parsing.." error.
There was nothing new / different in my attempts - just had to keep hammering at it to download.
Just found these neat tricks on http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_iii-review-757p3.php
"There's one more trick - you wake the phone (tap the power button or the home key), then press and hold the screen and rotate the phone horizontally. It will unlock and start the camera as soon as it's in the right orientation to snap a photo"
"Shaking the device lets you detect nearby Bluetooth devices, as well as update your email, news or weather apps."

Light flow is really nice but it didn't work as i wanted it to...
after install and reboot of the phone all suddenly it started to speak if i opened a folder or closed one so i had to remove it for a while lets hope the developer will fix that bug lol
A great alternative!!
Touchpal keyboard is an awesome alternative for swype.
Download it from playstore.
If anyone's phone feels a little sluggish (I know mine doesn't) you could try enabling 2D hardware acceleration to make it a bit more snappy
(settings->developer options->force gpu rendering)
please note this may drain your battery more than usual

How does it look on your phone? Is it a shorter keyboard as I've reported in the q and a forum? (as in it's height is about a third shorter than other keyboards).
Im trying to disable the swipe left to right to call, and swipe right to left to message feature thats in the stock Messages app on the Verizon Galaxy s5. I find myself accidentally calling people Im texting, and trying to explain why I called. I like swipe functions, but this particular one can be quite annoying, especially since the option to turn it off isnt exactly the most obvious to me.
Ive tried going into settings in the stock messages app, and theres nothing there about swipe commands. I even went into the settings and tried the motions and gestures option, nothing. Language and input, nothing. I even tried to edit the settings in the phone app, and you can only disable swipe to call when youre in the phone app, but nowhere else, which seems a little counter intuitive to be able to turn it off in the phone app, and not in the messages app.
Is there something Im missing? It really isnt making much sense to me that it cant be turned off. The Messages app Im talking about is the one that looks like a white envelope, with a yellow sheet of lined paper coming out of the top, not the Message+ that comes with the Verizon bloatware.
If anyone can help Id really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!
Cannot just disable the message portion you have to disable the complete swipe action. To do this, open dialer then select menu ->settings -> Contacts -> uncheck "Swipe to call or send message."
I know this is older but I am trying to disable the same feature. Un-checking that box only effects contacts, not the action from within messenger. Is there a way to disable it in messenger also or is the only option to not use the Samsung one?
I do hate when crappy "features" are not optional.
I ended up ditching the stock app and going with a paid version of chompsms. Works great and doesn't have this feature. To delete or call a contact from the conversation screen its actually a long hold action, which is a bit safer from accidental deletions.
Worked for me. Was so annoying, thanks for the help!

Hey guys! Still nothing? Are we stuck with this "ingenuity" for good?
Man, I hope just one of the morons who designed this feature read this thread one day. I hate this feature.
I finally managed to get this rom working and now i only have two little problems, the data and emoji. In Settings>data usage, the orange data usage line is unmovable and stuck at the top of the screen. The red line though is usable. When i try to send emoji's the phone asks me to go to Settings>Text messages>Input mode and set the input mode to Automatic but when i go into Text messages there isn't an option for input mode. If I just ignore this all my emoji sent becomes question marks for the reciever. Any help with these two problems would be appreciated. Thx.

Try using another keyboard like swiftkey that has emoji and see if that gets sent to the receiver. Not sure about stock keyboard, but I would check under Settings > (My Device?) Language & Input. As for the data limit, I've never had that happen so not sure what went wrong in this case.
First issue, text to speech activated when pressing pressing calculator apps.
this is really annoying. Talkback off, uninstalled google talk to speech app in the manage apps menu, clear cache and data
on samsung text to speech apps on manage apps as well. still exist i dont know what to do anymore.
second issue, one handed mode turns off automatically and the s pen commands!!!! WTF!!!
this happens everyday, when i use one handed mode i was shocked its not working and when i check the settings
its turned off. the next day when i use it its turn off again wtf!!!
any solution with this???
Talking calculator is because you have something activated in the accessibility settings. Its a bug I guess..probably will be solved with software update.
I don't know about second issue.

Hi.
My Huawei p10 lite doesn't allow to modify the color of the navigation and notification bars when opening any app. Apparently the color is locked (it's a dark orange) and app like navbar are not able to modify in any way the fixed color.
Only when opening "Settings" the bars are white and in home screen, where navigation bar is transparent.
The phone came with a telephone company brand (which logo, by the way, has same basic color of the navigation bar) but other customers I contacted throug socials that got the phone with same conditions from the same brand, seem don't have the issue.
Is there any idea how to unlock the navigation bar color without being root or go through other invasive expedients?
Thanks a lot,
Luca.
This happened to me when I asked Google assistant to turn on power saving mode. I got super annoyed by the orange colour. So I tried telling it to turn it off but it wouldnt, so I scrolled up on my Google assistant history and flipped the switch where it said power saving mode. As soon as I did that the orange was gone.

Please, may be so kind to illustrate the procedure in detail? I cannot figure out how to enter the google assistant history. By the way, to my knowledge I didn't turned on the power saving mode, unless I did it accidentally.

It only happens when asking Google assistant to turn on power saving mode. Try saying "Ok Google turn on power saving mode" and it might bring up a switch. If it doesnt, then to access what you've said before just say Ok Google or hold your home button then scroll up and keep on scrolling to find a switch. If there is no switch then I have no idea what the orange means.

Ok, have you tried changing the theme?
If not, then let's start:
1st: Find your themes app.
2nd: Go to the "Me" tab.
3rd: Choose any theme (those on the bottom are downloaded)
4th: Tap on the theme you want and tap apply.
If you have changed the theme then maybe download a theme which changes the navbar? (If I find one I'll try to send it.)

I'm sure this is probably the Google power saving mode that is enabled. It shouldn't always be enabled, because it usually turns off once your battery is fully charged. Try installing Activity Launcher here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.szalkowski.activitylauncher
Open the app, on the top of the screen, tap on "Recent activities" and choose "All activities".
Scroll down until you find Settings > Battery Saver > Turn on automatically, and choose "Never".
Hopefully this will turn it off. If that fails, I'd suggest making a backup of your data, and doing a factory reset.

EDIT: It would actually be easier just asking Google Assistant to "Turn power saving mode off", and it should be deactivated. Whether you remembered doing it or not, you might as well do it anyway, before you go through all the steps I gave you. [emoji849] Doing what @ianorna said is the easiest method. It's the only way to remove it, and it might just save you from doing a factory reset.

I may be late in replying the post but if youre still having the problem theres an easy fix.
the bars are orange because your battery saving mode is on, and no not the huawei battery saving mode, but the native android battery saver, its buried in the settings,
got to
settings>Battery>Battery Uasge graph>Tap to open detailed graph
tap on the three dots button on top right corner> tap battery save>disable!
That should fix this :good: :laugh: :silly:
