Problem with Swiftkey/Android on OZB only

Most of the time i visit OZB from my mobile. I am using Swiftkey keyboard on Android device. Whenever i type something in the forums or reply to a deal the autocorrect goes nuts. I have tried it on several other sites but this phenomenon only occurs on OZB.

Has anyone made similar experience or maybe has an idea what to try? So far i have deleted the cache from Swiftkey, reinstalled it. Tried using it without logging in to Swiftkey but nothing helps.

  • Yeah, same problem. Although it doesn't do it all the time, it messes up 90% of the time.

  • +1

    Mee too buiut ongly oin thhhis seite..ittis soe anoyyoingg.

  • Issue noticed as well.

  • Thanks God, i already thought that i am tripping around

  • Happened to me a lot today. Thought my phone went nuts. Kept restarting but it didn't get any better.

  • Seems to be fine for me,I'm on a galaxy note 3.

  • Is it just me or has swiftkey become super shit at predictions? When I first got it as a paid app, it was so good. Nowadays it hardly autocorrects and when it does, it's a shitty prediction. It's as if it doesn't learn from my typing habits. Kinda thinking about switching to another keyboard if i can find a good replacement.

    • Clear the app data and or reinstall it? My prediction is still somewhat accurate.

      • Alright I'll try that and see how it goes. Thanks.

  • Just installed SwiftKey on my Nexus 4 use it to type this comment - seems to be working fine for me.

    • It does at the start. For a few replies it works fine and then it starts going nuts.

      • Seems to be intermittent, usually messes up when replying to comments.

        Some times it works just fine, other times cant get a word out.

      • Swiftkey is supposed to learn your writing style. So I think the question is, are you nuts?

        • So I think the question is, are you nuts?

          No doubts about that but there have been a few more having the same problem. Are we all nuts? We need a nutcrackerbargain here!

  • Okay now I have recreated the problem with SwiftKey where the text cursor position seems to be randomly placed after a suggestion, I'll see whether I can find a solution.

    Or just use Swype :)

    • Thanks for trying, really weird and only happened here so far.

      • Can you try turning off ads on this site and see whether it helps?

        • Go to Settings
        • Under "OzBargain Settings", uncheck "Show advertisement"

        At least in my brief testing, the weirdness disappeared when I turn off ads. I certainly still need to get to the bottom of it.

        • Unfortunately at the moment i have got no android device but will try tomorrow.
