Does anyone else experience the problem when they type  in a word ending in ...ing then an extra G is added? For example " Yesterday I was walking g my dog "

I get it alot to the stage of annoying, not all the time but enough to be a pain.

Thanks in advance. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S21 5G if that helps.

That's strange, @Scottik1962. I would recommend resetting your keyboard settings. To do this follow these steps:

 

Go to Settings > General management > Language and input > On screen keyboard > Samsung keyboard > Reset to default settings > tap on Reset keyboard settings and Erase personalised predictions.

 

Please note that this will enable Predictive text, which you can disable in (Smart typing). 

 

Hope this helps! :)

Had the same issue. Was caused by accidently saving a selection of miss typed wording. Added the extra G to every word ending in G since, but mostly gerunds.

So to Fix: go to your settings and select "General Management." Next go to "Keyboard list and default," and select it. Under the ALL list, select the keyboard you are using (ex. Samsung Keyboard-English US). Next,  go down to "Reset to default settings". Now, under this menu.....select  the "Reset keyboard settings." Should clear up all the extra G getting g added....just kidding, I added that extra G on purpose just now.

Hope this works for you, BE Kind!!!

PS. Alt method, when keyboard is up in the text window, on the toolbar select the Gear icon for settings , this takes you straight to the settings for the active keyboard.

Is this a serious solution? It is obvious a widespread issue.

 I have 2 different modem Samsung phones and they both do the same thing.

 One is fully customized and the other 1 has no customization at all. They both do the same thing. Having to reset as a solution is ridiculous

Hi @Fyebra, the steps provided above will not reset your whole phone, only the keyboard app. 

This can clear the cache of your keyboard in case any typos have been saved.
