So, I have one issure resolved with my new tab a. Next.... my predictive text doesn't work. I have it turned on and tried evetything including loading new keyboards from the play store. New keyboards work fine with predictive text. The one that came with the tablet does not.
The only reason I hesitate using the three other keyboards I tried is that they state that they can maintain personal information such as passwords etc.

Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks,

Jim

A Bochur,
Thanks for the note. Yes the keyboard that came with the tablet does have a predictive text bar, but no text other than what I am typing.
For some reason I can not find the app for this keyboard to clear it.
If I can't sort it out, I found (and tried) the gboard, as you suggested, is the one I will use.
Thanks again.

All,
I spent over an hour with Samsung on the phone. Reset my system twice, visited two Best Buy stores to visit Samsung's special 'fix it' department, checked their (Best Buy's) floor model as well as one from Costco, and no one could get the predictive text working. As well none of the floor models of the tab a 10.1 unit had predictive text available.
I am convinced that this model lacks the software for this accessory.
Now using Google keyboard.
Above for your information only.

I am also having an issue with the autocorrect/fill and predictive text. Mine only started after the last update. It is super frustrating. My phone S7`s fingerprint scanner quit working (alzo after last update) and it was bought in August. 4 months and it quit. So im super irritated with Samsung right now and i do not want to get a keyboard app that will store my passwords. What to do !?
