Android Keypad All caps not working on Samsung S4 devices

I am facing this issue with Samsung S4 devices only. Here is my code, 

edtPasscode = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edtPasscode);
edtPasscode.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT
        | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_CHARACTERS
        | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_WORDS
        | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_SENTENCES
        | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS
        | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD);

The above code works on all other models, but doesn't work on S4 devices alone. I verified it on two Samsung S4 devices running 4.4.4 and 5.0.1. Both has the same issue. Any help is appreciated.

Here is a screenshot,

Solution

  • Well, after a long struggle, I just found that, it has nothing to do with the code. It's actually the keypad settings that needs to be changed. From Settings->Language and Input->Enable Auto Capitalize option

    This seems to be a odd behavior on samsung S4 in my opinion.
