Hi, the stock Samsung keyboard will randomly capitalize words which aren't capitalized while typing. It happens to random words in the middle of the sentence.

Any other users here with the same problem and an idea how to fix this?

This is an issue with how their user dictionary works.. anytime you capitalize something, it saves that word as if it's a 'custom' word to your dictionary.. once I capitalized the word "Habit" when I was texting my wife because of a restaurant called The Habit where we live, now it always capitalizes that word when I swipe it. I've tested this theory and it does operate this way, unfortunately. What you can do is clear the user dictionary in the keyboard settings then it will revert all of those words back to normal.. until you ever capitalize them again. Sucks, but it is what it is.

I have found, however, when you "force" the UNcapitalized version of the word manually (after it auto-capitalizes it) then the next time you swipe or type that word it will be normal.. it uses statistical use data to decide which you use more, and will default to that..

Well, I'm pretty sure I never capitalized words like "so", "or" and "and".
Will try your suggestion though, this also happened after I clean flashed a new ROM few days ago. Maybe the cloud dictionary data is messed up and flooded with falsely capitalized words.

If it makes you feel better, I have the same problem with Swiftkey.

That's because the Samsung stock keyboard IS Swiftkey

Oh, well that makes sense.

I disabled the Samsung version and installed Swiftkey from the Play store.

I just dealt with the same issue. I installed Swiftkey, disabled Samsung's keyboard - all good.

Mine just started doing this also. I'm one of those weird people that believe in proper grammar.
