Yes, my predictive text is toggled On, and I get suggested words and I can choose them, but my phone never fixes typos, ever.  My Incredible 2 just automatically corrected typos and I expected that with my new S4. What a pain in the butt not to have a comma on the keyboard, but, yes, I found how to insert it with the long press.  I'm not a kid and I like to send texts as if I were speaking with punctuation and whole words.  All my friends, who are older as I am, like to do the same. I've tried most of the keyboards in the Play Store, and 99% of them do not have the numbers at the top, which is a great feature. I was also chatting with Samsung about it and they said they left out auto-correct.  Talk about going back into the dark ages!!

Well, I tried it and even though it works, the keyboard is so hard to read (yes, I changed the different templates and the heights of the keys) and it squishes the numbers on the top row.  I uninstalled it. THIS SUCKS!!!  How many millions of people with smart phones that aren't even half as nice as the S4 have auto-correct?  ALL OF THEM!!!  Why would Samsung leave that BASIC feature out???  I feel like I've taken 10 steps back and now I have to look at every single word I type to make sure it's spelled correctly.  Talk about going back in time!!  I feel like I'm in high school in typing class!!  I'm 55!!!

I tried this, but even though I got the wake up screen to stop when I received a text, I no longer (and I tried and tried!!) was getting a flashing light to notify me of anything...not texts, not emails, not missed calls, not voicemail...!!  So I started from scratch again and uninstalled both apps. Then I went looking for another app and I found SMS Popup (I do not use the Popup feature) and it works absolutely perfectly!!  No more wake up screen when I get a text.  I can choose what color and frequency of notification flash for everything.  My phone vibrates, plays a sound (if I choose it to, depending on the time of day), flashes a light.... everything is perfect.  All I needed was that one app.
