Question S21 FE 5G - problem with gesture typing - Samsung Galaxy S21 FE

Hi. Yesterday I got new S21 FE 5G and I have problem with gesture typing. As you can see in the video below, when I try to type longer words with fast finger slide, the keyboard often "loses" my move and starts a second one, resulting in typing two different words, instead of one. Tested on a Samsung and Gboard keyboard. I have found many threads across the internet about this problem on S22, but they say it was fixed in June by software update. Now we have October and this issue exist on my S21 Fe. Any ideas on how this can be fixed?

Same here. I tried both keyboards too. It is the worst phone I have ever owned. I can't believe a high-end phone has such problems and such a bad camera.

Some people on Reddit say that this problem appeared since September update, but I can't confirm this as I bought phone this week. That's why I am wondering if it is damaged touchscreen and I should return phone or just wait for update.

I have the same. And it started 2 updates ago.

I noticed there is a new update CVI5 (snapdragon). I installed it and I can swipe type with no error. However I am not used to doing this and I am a bit slow at it so I cannot recreate this issue. Maybe you can test after this update and let us know if it's fine now.

I have this update since wednesday, it didn't change anything for me.

I have this problem sometimes after the update
I was thinking it due to my new screen protector
I hope someone can port a pixel rom to this device

Hey
I also have the same problem!!!
And yes, I confirm that I've only had the problem for a few months (after a system update....)
it's very annoying, I slide very fast on the keys and, it takes a lot of time to check and correct the texts entered......
And i confirm that I already installed the latest firmware (CIV5....)

Hello. I have the same problem. I bought the phone 2 weeks ago and was immediately offered an update. After that I have the same problem with every keyboard. Has anyone contacted support yet?

@coolawy may I copy your picture and post it in the German Samsung forum? I'm making a post about the problem.

Sure, go ahead

@GymPanse , any news from the German Samsung forum?
This problem is really starting to annoy me
Thank you !
Edit:
I also opened a post on the French Samsung forum.... @coolawy , I also copied your screenshot, thx

So far I only got the tip to reset the settings of the Samsung keyboard to the default setting. Of course it didn't help.
Then I should send a bug report through the Members App. I did, but haven't gotten a response yet.

Same here! They set the post as solved and asked me to contact the support by email
I replied that they can't set the thread as solved and they have to remove this tag.

Edit:
I also sent an email to the support.... I'll let you know as soon as I receive an answer!
Edit 2022/11/13 :
Samsung still didn't reply to my email....
I really don't know why I bought a so expensive phone............

I wrote to polish Samsung support about a month ago. They were replying fast, but they weren't helpful at all, so maybe you aren't missing anything.
I am wondering if this issue is fixed in November update? Has anyone already received it?

Today the support answered my email.... they just asked me to install Gboard while i said it doesn't work with gboard too......
No comments......

Hello there, how are you??
Did you test with refresh rate set at 60 instead of 120 ???
I just tried and it seems that I don't have the issue
Could someone have a try? Thx
Edit:
I talked to fast.... the issue is the same, even with the refresh rate set at 60...
Maybe a little better.... but still have the issue

I thought it was a unique problem, but then it's typical. I have the same problem. I hope that switching to Android 13 will solve the problem.

I'm having the same problem on gboard. I thought it was my screen protector cause I've installed a new one recently.

Bottom buttons stops working.

Hi.
I have strange problem. It starts few weeks ago with no purpose..
Sometimes my bottom buttons doesn't work. It happneds for example, when I'm tying to scroll email with Dpad. Sometimes when i try to scroll thru files in total commander. After scrolling few lines, they just stop working. Upper buttons works. Screen works.
What I did untill now with no results:
- flashed official rom thru PC
- flashed AT&T Official
- disassembling and cleaning lower buttons.
It looks like software problem, but it happends on clean official roms without any 3-rd apps..
Some suggestions?
Thx
do a search for white screen in titles...ur problem may be the dpad connector comes loose and the white screen thread talks about how to fix it
try a new rom my wifes phone did the same thing with at&t official wm6 rom I have since flashed almost every rom from here and never had a problem hope this helps

Thank You. I've tried few roms.. Now running CRC 11
I think it's a hardware problem. I've found some thread about similiar problem. Now I'm testing
Thx Dillsnik
I had this problem with a Hermes and I couldn't fix it no matter what I did. And I tried everything.
It seems it's some weird hardware problem. Soon you'll have problems with the softkeys too.
If anyone fixed this (except flashing a new rom, because that doesn't work), it would be an interesting thing to know.
Well, when it happends, all lower buttons stops working. gren, red phone, softkeys etc.
I just plug and unplug connector few times and for now it;s ok.
I will report if there will be some changes.
Maybe it's time for some changes I think Kaiser's will be cheaper in a moment

mine has been doing that for months (lucky my hermes is my backup device). its really strange but then again expected after ive dropped it so many times as well as throw it at my colleagues when they piss me off.
1) dpad stops responding after some time.
2) call/end buttons stop responding
3) softkeys dont work after this
4) 90% white screen - i can still see whats on the screen but it looks like its washed out and saturated to a sever point
the only thing you can do is if your device is still under warranty get it fixed.
Warrianty it's a faaaar away past
I can't say with any certainty this will help anybody - but I experience this same issue, regardless of the rom... What I always do - hit the Email button... I know it sounds odd, but it always seems to work... It launches email, which (if i don't need it) I just close right away and then the other buttons seem to magically work... I know it sounds lame - but honest - it works on my phone...
If that doesn't work, you may have to try the following link regarding d-pad and white screen
I had same problems, d-pad buttons stopped working then I got the white screen of death. I replaced the ribbon cable but it didn't help. I replaced the d-pad pcb board and everything is back.
Where did You get this board? Ebay?
http://www.cellulardr.com/products.php?cat=156
I don't think they send to Poland, but thx anyway..
Sorry for diggin this topic, but cellurar.dr is not responding my emails and I can't find/buy this board..

SMS reply problem with Touch Flo - drops leading "+"?

Hi
I've noticed a problem with my TP2, wondered if anyone else had it and had found a way round.
I store all my contacts as international codes (i.e. +447799xxxxxx etc) so I don't have to mess about when on holiday. However I've noticed a problem with this and the Touch Flo interface.
When I get an SMS I see it on the touch flo page, double click and i see the touch flo SMS interface as follows: -
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However when I send, it drops the + from the beginning of the message. Concequently, it tries to send to 4417799xxxxxx which is invalid and goes into my drafts folder.
If however from the front page I choose the "All Messages" soft key and reply to the message in the standard threaded WM6.1 interface: -
then it works fine.
Any idea how to fix this (without removing +44 from all my contacts!)
Cheers, Sy

I described the same problem but nog answer yet.
Just a clue...
I am not a friend of manila or tp2 but just an idea - maybe you have something wrong with the regional settings?
I also had this problem..
I´m wondering, did you install .NET CF3.5?

Yes, but before i had the same problem and after also.
remember notify HTC support !
I'm not sure but I think something goes wrong when restoring contacts via sprite-backup. I noticed an ';' behind or in front of a phone number once.
Try editing the contact, selecting and saving the phone number and see if it happens again.

I don't use sprite-backup, and i have the problem to, so that's not a good solution

Forget it. They are interested in selling not fixing. Terrible customer support
I don't use Sprite Backup, but my contacts are synced OTA to Exchange, whether that makes a difference or not I don't know.
I do have CF3.5 installed, but don't know whether I had the problem before (I installed it when I first got the phone).
Strangely the problem also seems a little intermittent - for example this morning I did a test reply using the TF interface, and it worked okay?
I will send a message to HTC though so hopefully they'll look into a fix!
Oh, and just noticed my regional settings were set to US not UK, so I've changed this to see if it makes a difference. Though the regional settings don't seem to make any direct reference to phone number format so we'll have to see if it actually makes a difference.
Further investigation suggests this seems to happen on the 2nd reply. i.e. in an SMS thread I reply to a message and it's okay....reply again (before another from sender) and the + gets dropped.

Oneplus 3 OTA update OxygenOS 3.2 - Strange occurrence

So I awoke this morning and rolled over to check the time on my phone and noticed that the OTA update for the Oneplus 3 had started downloading. Yayyy was my first thought, as I was of the understanding that Oneplus had started rolling out the 3.2 update for the phone and put a hold after being live for a mere 26 hours (due to an issue with the upgrade as far as I know) so I was happy to see that they had resumed the push for the OTA.
However my excitement was short lived as I soon realised that my Oneplus 3 was actually on the other side of the room and the phone I was in fact holding was my S7 Edge. So I let the file download (1.2gb) and popped it onto my computer and then over to my Oneplus 3 (A3000 Chinese model) where I was able to boot into TWRP, install the update and then reinstall SuperSU straight away for Root access.
Everything has since been running great, phone is now on 3.2 and Srgb mode is fantastic, however I'm left wondering how the heck the update suddenly randomly decided to download on my other phone. I have different sim cards with different carriers in each phone, and have the same Google account on each, however as far as I was aware Oneplus pushes the update to the specific IMEI number of the phone. I'm left scratching my head as to how this has happened :/ anyone ever seen this before?
Whoa, that is very whacky! Maybe it has something to do with that plain-text issue, ie. vulnerability, of the IMEI number being transferred in the HTTP header when the OP3 checks for OTA update?
That sounds like perfect case for MythBusters
Fake story. Thread can be closed.
Mate, just because it seems unlikely doesn't mean it's fake, it happened and I posted in here to see if anyone else had heard of this happening and was curious if it was a common occurrence. Judging by the fact it has been deemed 'fake' I assume it does not happen often.
Thanks for everyone's time though.

This is a fake story you can never get Ota for oneplus on a Samsung phone
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using XDA-Developers mobile app
System updates are usually stored in the cache partition. Stuff like this can happen though! Maybe you used the wrong phone to download the update manually since you got them mixed up.
Sent from my OnePlus3 using XDA Labs
Impossible.
Reminds me of:

"Lukas Graham Drunk In The Morning Official Music Video"
You can also ?

Clearly you manually downloaded the full ROM file from oneplus or some other site on to the S7. This was NOT an OTA update. Fact because a) thats impossible, b) its the full file, c) its in your downloads folder, when any OTA will go to cache and be inaccessible by you without root and d) THATS IMPOSSIBLE!
Either you got confused, you downloaded it in your sleep, or you are just trolling!

That's a full rom zip, OTA is 15mb.

OTA wont be stored in download folder. Maybe you was drunk at the previous night and download the ota from your s7 hahaha
It's not possible. OTA will never goto download folder. Could be a dream and you have taken it as reality.
THANKS for everyone's input, I had a laugh about the drunk part as I did take some sleeping pills the night before.
Have gone through my chrome history and found 11pm the night earlier (don't remember any of this) I was on an XDA thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...0-received-t3410714/post67599345#post67599345
And I guess have clicked on the link to the full ROM.
Boom, solved. And no I wasn't trolling, I honestly had no idea how it happened. Having a laugh now though. Anyways Cheers for the input, like I said I was curious if it had happened before and or if it were possible. It seems not.

Note 7 Keypad Not Auto Correcting Well

Anybody having issues with the Note 7 keypad not auto correcting a lot of the time? It's like it corrects some words but not others.
I have made sure all settings are correct and even reset the keyboard settings to be sure.
Thoughts?
I noticed the same thing. I hope it improves with use. Swype seems to be a little better.
I have the same experience. I have become insanely used to the note 4 keyboard and now on the note 7 about 90% of my typos aren't corrected. I'm currently using SwiftKey but wish I could use the default Samsung keyboard.
I have the same experiences like you guys. Auto correct is barely working. I hope they will fix this problem.

I have the same issue. It became such a problem that now I'm using the Google Keyboard. I checked the settings a thousand times and there is nothing in the settings to fix this issue. It probably needs some kind of update from Samsung! In my experience the auto correct only works like 15% of the time. Anyone that has the Note 5 or Edge 7 can confirm whether or not this problem exists in those versions or is it a Note 7 problem exclusively.
This happened on my note 5 ended up switching to google. Samsung suggests the most likely word but to the left is what you typed if you don't click it bang random worss
I came from the Note 5 and the Samsung keyboard on there worked perfectly.
The Note 7 Samsung keyboard auto correct just is not working most of the time. Hopefully an update will correct the problem.

Do you guys have keyboard syncing enabled in your Samsung account? I came from a Note5 and auto-correct seems the same.

I did not have that synced but I did turn it on and no difference for me.
Funny after reading this thread this popped up in my YouTube subs. Uploaded today n all (nsfw)
I found the solution people! When you begin to type and the "suggested words" box comes up at the top of your keyboard, click the right arrow next to the third word. This will bring drop down about 9 suggested words, as well as an "on-off" switch for Auto Replace. Turn Auto Replace on. If it is already on, turn it off and then back on again (That is what I had to do to make it work). Just to clarify, I did this in an individual text message.

I had an S7 Edge. Autocorrect on Samsung keyboard with S7 Edge was MUCH better than it is on the Note7. The autocorrect is terrible on the Note7.

I'm using it cause... "auto upgrade"...
And all in all I'm ok with it but I'm experiencing one "bug" (see down below). Colors might be more saturated than before, but it's ok for me and it doesn't "hurt my eyes" as some describe it. I'm using the "natural" display mode and the display warmth slider is in the middle.
I read through the linked article a bit but it seams like the experience is very subjective or not all users experience this phenomenon or at least not as bad / strong.
-------
Since my upgrade to Android 12 I'm experiencing one quite annoying bug.
Background:
I'm using my device with the work profile to keep annoying apps at bay.
Using "Shelter" app.
Using "Aurora Store" in work profile to install apps.
No factory reset was performed since upgrade.
Not rooted.
Problem:
Since the upgrade to Android 12 I'm experiencing an quite annoying bug. Using the "phone" app (private profile) I have no sound and microphone sometimes. So I can't hear and can't be heard. If I'm activating the work profile and use the "phone" app (again from private profile) I suddenly have sound and microphone.
Fix / workaround:
Activate the work profile.
Another way to "fix" this problem is to reboot the phone.
After reboot it works for an undefined time. I haven't tested if the problem starts after using work profile and deactivating it again. I'm testing it and I'll try to not forget to post an update for others.
FYI:
If sound from other apps does work, wasn't tested until now. If you need to call you normally have no time for testing, so reboot it was for me.
Tested solutions:
Tested some general "solutions" from REDDIT & Co.
Editing settings in "Sound & vibration" -> "Audio effects": recommended -> "activate Dolby ATMOS". Phone doesn't have that so i resetted the setting (after tapping "Audio effects" tap "Settings" at the bottom then tap 3 dot menu and tap "Reset")
- DIDN'T WORK
Suggestion: it's a carrier problem
Set network selection to manual and select your corresponding network.
- DIDN'T WORK
Deactivate or activate "Wi-Fi calling". (mine was activated so I deactivated it)
- DIDN'T WORK
Enable or disable "VoLTE". (mine was activated so I deactivated it)
- DIDN'T WORK
My questions:
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Has anyone found a solution?
Thanks
