I've heard reviews of any WP8 device saying the keyboard was great to type with and very accurate...but apparently this is not the case for me.
I just switched from a Sony Android device to my Lumia 720, and from what has been happening these past three days I feel like the keyboard isn't good enough. One thing that my previous Sony keyboard did was that say I wanted to type 'burglar' and ended up typing the keys next to the letters in burglar, like 'bithker'. It would recognise that as a typo and convert it to burglar immediately. However, this is not the case with the word flow keyboard. It does also recognise that I mistyped the keys next to the letters I actually want, but it doesn't correct it automatically! What? Why isn't any settings for the keyboard to do this? Sure, it auto corrects my words when say I typed the word as 'mkrning', but I expected more out of the keyboard. Also, another thing that I find weird about it is that it isn't uniform. That meaning that sometimes the keyboard pops out but doesn't give any autocorrect suggestions (i.e. in IE) and only gives suggestions in specific places like Messaging, Outlook, etc. And in some places the keyboard is raised: like in the messaging app where icons go below it. Other places there is nothing below the keyboard. This just adds to my frustration in finding the right places to type, how do I do that if the position keeps changing?
Does anyone else have similar problems, or is it just me? Any idea how to solve this?
