Do anybody notice a problem with ios 6 autocorrect

It be correct sometimes and they will change it to what they think I meant, also it makes stupid errors like if I would put change it will correct it to changechange change oh words that aren't words.

This problem got worse for me in iOS6 and has persisted in iOS7. My beef is not the autocorrection of mistyped words to the wrong thing (although that is hella annoying for sure) - it's that the iPhone will frequently change correctly typed words into something different. For instance when I correctly type "fill," autocorrect will often change it to "full." Same with "bill" and "ball" and other common words that are nearly the same. This is just bad programming and I would definitely class it as a bug.
Then of course there is its habitual refusal to put the apostrophe in I'm. I've found that this bug occurs most often when you type im after deleting something. I can't be sure but I suspect that there are autocorrect bugs which are related to the code which parses what you type, in particular the parsing of characters into separate words. When it won't apostrophe "im," it's as if the parser has failed to recognize that the im you typed is the beginning of a word, and treats the characters like you typed them in the middle of another word or something. Again, these are just vague suspicions that of course I cannot confirm because I don't have access to their code.
Anyway, I really think that Apple needs to pay more attention to its autocorrect algorithms because they are quite clearly faulty in many ways and it's one of the most important and commonly used features of the phone. After 3 years of iPhone ownership, typing remains a very frustrating experience and I frequently want to smash the **** thing.

  • Is anybody else having problems with iOS 7.1 and Home Sharing?

    I have two iPhone 4's - one I recently upgraded to iOS 7.1 and the other running 6.3.1. The phone upgraded to 7.1 will not connect to my (rather large iTunes library) on my Mac Mini (running 10.9.2). The 7.1 phone does see the library - and attempts to connect - but the progress indicator stops at about 50%.
    I've tried de-activating sharing on the Mini and then re-activating. I've tried restoring the 7.1 phone from a back-up. No change.
    Also - now the 6.3 phone will connect to the library - but the playlists have no entries and 99% of the library is missing.
    Before the upgrade - the phone now running 7.1 never had any issues with Home Sharing.
    Anyone else out there having issues with iOS 7.1 and Home Sharing?

    I've had no problems with Facebook on my iPhone 5 but here are a couple of suggestions.
    1. Quit Facebook like I describe then reset the iPhone. Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
    2. If the first thing doesn't help, quit Facebook again, delete Facebook, and reset the iPad. After the iPad restarts use the App Store app to download Facebook again.

  • Has anyone else noticed a problem with iOS 7 on the iPhone 4?

    I have noticed that since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 7 that the status bar at the top of the screen is blurred. This includes AT&T symbol, the status bar, and the battery icon. Sometimes, the app names are also blurred. Is there a fix for this? Please help!

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    If you have tried ALL the troubleshooting steps recommended and you still have the issue, then there's nothing else you can do.  Bring the phone in to Apple for evaluation and probable replacement.

  • Problems with iOS 5 in Kuwait

    Problems with iOS 5 in Kuwait. ID calling issue with names not being recognised. I just downgraded to 4.3.5. Waiting for a fix from apple

    After installing ios 5 here is my Concerns (Kuwait):
    1- The major problem is that caller id problem doesnt recognize the +965 prefix as you all stated , i found that on all carriers in kuwait ... the only temp solution is to duplicate all the contact numbers one time with (+965) to determine the Messages , other time without +965 to determine local calls -- NOTE--- using prefix 00965 will not solve the problem because both messages and calls will not recognizing it
    2- Some issues appeared in iCloud specialy in contacts section that if you disable icloud and keep your contacts on the iphone and then re-enable icloud and choose merge will cause all the contacts to be duplicated which is very annoying
    3- Kuwait is not found when trying to associate my apple id to a region to apply for any of the new apple services like i messages , home sharing for music and videos  or any location based service
    4- strange numbering format appears in my contacts in some other countries , this cannot be controlled , dashes '-' between numbers dont know why
    5- noticed some slow performance and partial hangs in answering calls or closing line .. this happened 2 times and stayed not longer than 3 seconds each .
    anyway ios 5 looks promising but need to fix those slight issues ASAP

  • Keyboard problem with iOS 8

    Anybody else having problems with the keyboard in iOS 8?  Using iPad Air.  When working with longer documents in email, notes and pages, I can't see what I'm typing after the text goes below the keyboard.  I have to minimize the keyboard click on area after last text, then hit return a lot of times to add blank space where the keyboard is.

    I Think I have the same problem and its only occurred since I updated to iOS 8 actually as I type this I can see the text as i type but on other forums the text box disappears below the keyboard and if I scroll it hides again ! I must be doing something wrong and it's not that obvious and I'm being stupid?
    I'm trying to use a ning forum and the tripadvisor app amongst other places ..... Can somebody help me out please ???

  • Hey Apple when are you going to fix the problems with IOS 8.3??

    Hey Apple when are you going to fix the problems with IOS 8.3??
    Message is working weird.
    I don't have internet service when I'm away from my WiFi, because my phone won't use LTE now.
    Should I wait for a IOS 8.3.1 update or reset my phone to factory and start over?
    If there's a fix coming when will we see it?
    (I'm using iPhone6 plus)
    I've tried everything else to fix the problems I'm having. Soft restart. Hard restart. Used your chat line. Called Verizon. Reset network settings.... Help!!!!!
    I've posted on the Apple Communities about all this and I've sent in a couple of bug reports.
    I live up in the mountains and MUST be able to access my Verizon LTE for information if there is a fire! I'm in California!

    I have a Verizon iPhone 6 and am having none of those problems.

    Didn't they already have you do that? If you haven't, yes, you should restore your phone as new and test.

    If you are in a situation where you may need emergency information, organizations such as the Red Cross recommend things like this:

  • It's now over 6 weeks since I made the mistake of updating my iPad and I am furious and frustrated at the lack of a solution to the problem with ios 5 audio app missing lyrics

    It’s now over 6 weeks since I made the mistake of updating my iPad and I am furious and frustrated at the lack of a solution to the problem with ios 5.
    I recently updated to ios 5.1 but nothing has been done to rectify the audio app problems ie lyrics no longer shown,
    I am extremely disappointed and angrywith those responsible for the iOS 5 update, in regard to the way it hasaffected the music app in my iPad.
    I also own an iPhone 4, am an avid Apple fan, and up until now have beenextremely pleased with the devices, and have sung their praises to friends andassociates.
    I am a professional musician, and purchased an iPad primarily to use with theperformance of my music.
    The changes made to the music app affected my performances over the weekendextremely adversely – limiting my repertoire and causing confusion and delays.
    I have spent many hours talking withApple helpline assistants (who, incidentally have been very good and have triedto help), and I have also spent a lot of time on this letter.
    I greatly regret updating to iOS 5.
    There are two major problems with the music app.
    1. Lyrics no longer displayed
    2. Layout, and appearance and consequently performance have seriouslyregressed.
    I have a repertoire of around 500 song backing tracks, organised into about 20playlists, half of which featured lyrics / chords that I have spent monthsrecently entering into iTunes so that they could be used on my iPad.
    These were working fine up until the update - now they are gone.
    Previously, the app featured large icons for playlist, artists, songs etc. atbottom of page: Now there are small, grey, indistinct barely legible buttons.
    Previously, when playlist icon was selected - all the playlists were listedclearly in order on the left hand side in black on white (as in iTunes).
    Now they are scattered across the whole page in large squares (displayingnothing if there is no album art).
    The identifying wording below eachsquare is now small, grey, indistinct & barely legible.
    Previously, when a playlist was selected - the songs were displayed in adescending list in black & white: now they appear as small, grey indistinct & barely legible.
    Previously, when a song was selected - it appeared filling the page, and withaudio controls clearly positioned at top of screen. One tap would bring uplyrics.
    Now audio controls appear at top once again small, grey, indistinct &barely legible.
    A small square representsalbum art which if tapped fills page. A further tap fails to bring up lyrics.
    Don Wilson

    Lyrics aren't supported in the Music app on iOS 5 on the iPad. These are user-to-user forums, they are not monitored by Apple (there are too many forums/threads/messages for that to happen). If you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?

    This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.

  • I have sounds problems with iOS 7

    I have sounds problems with iOS 7. I can not hear my music, all the apps have no sounds. Only when I ask Siri has sound but it's too loud and awful. I found 2 errors with I ask to Siri what things she can do in Spanish the is an error and one word or If I ask who am I? She said that I have to go to settings and indicate her who I am but I already have that configured. And I try to configure again just in case, I do the same question and she still doesn't who I am.

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • Problem with iOS 5 update

    Hi everyone!
    Has someone of you have a problem with iOS 5 update? My iPhone after updating to the newest version, from time to time appears "There's no SIM card" . I don't know if there's a problem with MY iPhone or update "error"? Thanks in advance for your response.
    Best regards,
    glaenken

    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
    Also try this, copied from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    "No SIM installed" alert (GSM models only)
    Remove the SIM card (micro-SIM on iPhone 4). Insert the SIM eject tool or the end of a small paper clip into the hole on the SIM tray. Press firmly and push it straight in until the tray pops out. See this document for more information.
    Verify the SIM card is not damaged or dirty.
    Reinstall the SIM card.
    Turn the phone off and back on.
    Wait approximately two minutes, then see if iPhone detects the SIM card and if it will register on the network.
    If that doesn't work, try another SIM card, if possible, to see if it is detected.
