keyboard shortcuts no longer work after upgrade to ios 6

After upgrading to iOS 6, the keyboard shortcuts on my iPhone 4S no longer work. Not only that I can't change them either. If I add or delete a shortcut, it simply goes back to the way it was when I exit the settings and go back in. My iPad 2 doesn't have this problem, only my iPhone 4S.


I tried restarting as well as doing a reset (hold home and power button).


Any idea how to fix this?

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1, AT&T 32 GB

I managed to fix this. First I tried reseting all settings, which didn't work (don't even bother).


Next I went into Settings -> Safari -> AutoFill and tapped "Clear All"


That fixed it.


I just wished I thought of that before reseting all my settings. It was a PITA setting them all back up and I lost my wallpaper.

If you want to go through all the steps I took:


1. Restart

2. Soft reset (hold home and power until Apple logo appears)

3. Reset keyboard dictionary

4. Reset all settings

5. Clear autofill


Only after the last step did things start working. Prior to that I couldn't make any changes I made to the keyboard shortcuts stick, though every now and then changes would take. Sometimes trying to delete a shortcut would crash the settings app. In all cases the shortcuts didn't work.
