I LOVE certain features of the stock keyboard (ie: the handwriting and the separate number row) but I'm having trouble teaching the keyboard new words. I tried it like it works in swype where you type it out once and then click it in the little suggestion row, and it SEEMS to work...but it actually doesn't.

Example: If I'm typing a text and I type a word it doesn't know and click it in the box, if I use that word again in the same text, or possibly even in another text sent soon afterword, it will suggest the word when I "swype" it. But then if I go to a browser and try to do that word in a search box it didn't actually learn it.

Is there any way to reliably teach this thing new words? The help and tutorials that come with the keyboard on the phone are less than impressive.

So far the handwriting and separate numbers make it worth it to use, but i'm growing tired of typing out melbell every time I do anything.

No no... I had this problem. Until I found the missing setting. They are a bit hidden...

Settings > Language and Input > Samsung keyboard settings (click on the gear to the right of samsung keyboard) > Turn on predictive text if its not on. AND also click on the wording of Predictive Text... That is the hidden part. There is a whole other menu if you click on the wording of predictive text. Then enable personalized data. Bang.

You can capitalize if you Swype up past the top of the keyboard then come back down and continue swiping. Like for "hello" start at the h, Swype upwards, then over to the e. Hard to explain, but let me know if you get it.

That's what I assumed too because that's how Swype works (which is the keyboard I'm used to), but I haven't been able to get that to work on the Samsung keyboard.
