[Q] Stock keyboard lousy compared to Galaxy Nexus

[gatogringo]

Hello there,

I find the stock keyboard pretty lousy, especially compared with my Galaxy Nexus.

- Many times the S3 suggests words starting with a dot (.). I wonder why.

- Most of the time I have to type a word until the last letter before the S3 "predicts" the word--usually Galaxy Nexus gets it right after just three letters.

- Finally, when I make a typo, rarely it corrects to the intended word; again Galaxy Nexus almost always gets the intended word right.

Do both phones have different prediction engines? Why would Samsung put a visibly less useful engine in the S3? Or do I do something wrong?

I'm usign SwiftKey 3.
This is the best keyboard for Android, and work perfectly on SGSIII, with multi language support.

That's subjective.

The best stock Keyboard FOR ME is HTC. THe best 3rd party keyboard that emulates it is "Smart Keyboard"

I've used practically every keyboard available on S1, S2 and S3. Gingerbread keyboard is the only one I can use accurately and without it inserting some crappy suggestion. I got the one on my S3 from the Checkrom kitchenpro app.
