Hey folks,
May be a stupid question, though I've searched my phone and the net and couldn't find anything, though I'm not sure what I should be searching for anyway.
I'm hoping someone can tell me how to disable the box of words that pops up when typing something, trying to predict what you might be trying to say.
I'm sure it's only been showing up recently, possibly since I installed an application or something, as I don't remember it being there when I first got the phone, otherwise I would have asked this question by now.
I've attached an example of what I'm talking about.
I've tried going into Text Input Settings and enabling / disabling Spell Correction, Word Completion (XT9) and Word Complection (ABC) (all off at the moment) but it doesn't seem to make any difference, and it's really bugging me!
Any help would be really appreciated!

Have you looked in the Swype settings?
Yeah, have looked there, even though this was happening before I installed Swype, installed it recently in the hope it wouldn't use the predictive text stuff (also as I like to use it, too).
It's not just with Swype, it's any of the text input methods, using XT9 or ABC input method seems to make no difference, nor do the settings in the text input options, or indeed swype input options.
Anyone? Anything?
Have you tried, on the keyboard, to hold down the 'ABC' button for about a second. If it turns green then the XT9 predictive words don't appear?
if you have advanced config on your phone, open it up, click on input, and you can set how many preditive words you get. exit, soft reset and you should be good to go.

I keep seeing people mention the ability to set the number of predictive words... but I can't find where to do this. I have a stock 2.13 ROM from TMOUS, with CHT running. Can you point me to the "advanced config" screen you reference above?
Thanks!
Advanced Config is a cab you install.
In Advanced Config, under Input, you should have an option called "Suggested Words" the default is 4, set it to 0.

I recently got the JasJam and wanted to know is it possible for a developer to be able to write a code for a '123' keyboard with the 'abc' letters on each number to appear when typing an sms with T9 functionality.
Your replies would be much appreciated..
Thanx.
lol, I would probably be prepared to be flamed for this...
And we wonder why people get in accidents...
I've never seen anything like what you are asking for though, and I think that it would still be very hard to do something like this while driving since it's a touch screen...
actually i think it'd be easier if somebody could write a code to modify the normal keyboard to accept sliding...
that is, if you poke at G then move to H and release at H, H gets typed not G
this makes things very easy to use 1 handed as you can keep your finger pressed to verify what is being typed before actually typing the letter

no he has a valid point... trying to type in porn websites on your hermes while you're masturbating is quite tricky.
also... yes it is possible to do; if MS have released docs on writing your own keyboard map, then it could easily be done
you could try the phone pad cab in the ftp under tools and programs, it gives you the option to have the onscreen keyboard work like a normal phone pad with t9 predictive text
Well, there is an application that I use for one hand SMS. I don't actually use it when I am driving, however I do use it when I don't feel like sliding the keyboard. The app is "Tengo Thumb" and below is the URL and it is not free.

Thanx for the replies. Will try TenGo and let u know how it works out..

phone cab is the way to go. Install it, then soft reset and select it instead of the on screen keyboard and you tap on your screen as if its a phone with a keypad.
Pls excuse me..
I am having diffculties locating the Phone cab file..
Pls help.
Installed TengoThumb but it takes time getting used to.
Thanx in advanced.
Found it.
Thanx for your help gents.
Here's the link incase anyone else was looking for it.

@kastro,
I have never used Phone-Pad so I am interested on you thought between the two products.
The reason why i ask this is because it is difficult to type an sms when driving...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In the this country it is not only difficult but illegal! I nearly got killed by somebody using his phone while driving.
for those that don't know after installing the phone cab and restarting you have to select the onscreen keyboard and then press the arrow next the keyboard button
as for how it works, I find it pretty responsive, the t9 works as well as other phones, although if your a fast typer you can outpace the phone sometimes, I didn't find it a big problem.
the only real negatives I found was leaving fingerprints on half myscreen and the phone pad is a lot taller than the normal keyboard
OMg txting while driving
@lpsi2000
Phone pad is much better and more practical to use. It's exactly like using a normal keypad to type T9 sms's - it's actually even better..
The driving was simply an example to 1 hand typing. I started the thread cos there was no possible way i could continue with the Jasjam using its current features to type out an SMS.
And yes, it is illegal in my country... But who obeys the laws at the best of times?
i use the full keyboard while driving yes yes, flame me now...
but actually it works out kinda better, as i can put both hands on the wheel while holding the keyboard and still keep my eyes on the road...
WARNING, do not try this at home, this is a stunt performed by a professional with years and years of texting experience. I will not be held responsible for your inability to multi-task
@kastro,
Thanks for the tip and I will give it a shot.
@shogunmark,
Using the full keyboard while driving is definitely not an easy task especially at night. I agree with the warning, please do not try at home.
is it possible to completely disable the "capitalize first letter in sentence" behaviour?
i know that there is a setting for it in the standard windows mobile input-settings. but this setting is ignored for all input methods on my nike100 / 20keys.
also tried the new opal-keyboard. working fine, but still i can't disable this "nice" but unwanted setting.
Thats weird. do you have a custom rom? I don't know if that would make a huge difference, but the only thing i can think of. Though, i'm no expert lol
i'm using an official htc-6.1-upgrade rom (wwe).
this "bug" keeps bugging me for a long time now.
it's there. no matter if i use the standard keyboard coming with the rom, or the ezkeyboard-suite from dupinbjk.
In the onscreen keyboard, the Hero has the possibility for remembering words that are not yet in its dictionary. I added some words by mistake and was wondering if there is a way of removing them (other than a factory reset of course). Thanks for your help!
I have the same issue and emailed HTC. Their reply:
"Android handsets does not provide edit the dictionary settings "
Bad o.o Lets hope it will come
My girlfriend's HTC Magic running the standard Android OS has the option to edit the dictionary, add, delete words etc
Seems they've taken this option away from the Hero for some reason, which is a bit annoying...
so it seems I should take this up with HTC again if they essentially gave me a wrong answer when they said android doesn't support editing the dictionary. tsk tsk ...
i could do with being able to edit the dictionary also. Drunken fat fingers have added some gibberish that keeps popping up
I'd just like to know where the file is. I have rooted my Hero, so if I coudl just find the file, I could at least try to edit it. I tried running a recursive grep for a word I knew was in there, but no luck...
Go to Settings --> Applications --> Manage applications --> Touch Input --> Clear Data
Is there any way to remove words that were auto-saved short of a factory reset? They are not in the user dictionary and I found some instructions that said long press the word will bring up a menu to delete that word but it doesn't come up. These are the words that if you have your settings to set to automatically learn new words, it'll automatically save them and not the specifically user added words.
It's words like "tha" instead of "the". Thanks.

Thanks. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it worked. The errors and saved names are still saved in the dictionary even though I cleared it out. Thanks though; never would have thought to look there. Could it be I had done something?
I have an X10a, flashed to the global generic (or world generic, whichever one is the correct one for the Americas) running 2.1 with build 2.1.A.0.435, rooted.
I'm fighting trying to get an external Bluetooth keyboard to work with my device, but in doing so have discovered that I no longer have "Input Method" under "Language and keyboard settings". Can anyone please advise how to get it back?
I don't use an external keyboard, but I have never seen input method in the Language and keyboard settings page.
To change the input method you have to long press in any text box.
More info here on setting the default keyboard. The article was written for a different phone, but the principals are the same.
I am not sure if using an external keyboard works differently.
Sorry I shouldn't have confused the issue by mentioning the external keyboard. Forget the external keyboard! I do have second soft keyboard installed (Swype), so there ought to be an "Input Method" menu to allow me to select between it and the Android Keyboard.
However ... long-pressing within text boxes does indeed bring up the Input method menu, so at least I have a workaround. Many thanks for that.
I am a keyboard junkie and have eight keyboards installed and have never seen an input method setting on the Language and keyboard settings page.

Since that article was published in Aygust of 2010 I would guess that that setting was part of Dell's Android 1.6 rom on the Streak. My Streak was shipped to me with Android 2.2 so I have never used the 1.6 rom. Looking at some of the pics in the other guides on that site it looks like 1.6 to me.
Here is the keyboard guide at StreakSmart
You know what, I think you've just answered my question. That's where it disappeared to, then; when I upgraded from 1.6 to 2.2!
Many thanks indeed

It's all perception. Since you had 1.6, the setting disappeared. Since I never had 1.6 I wasn't missing what I didn't have. Glad you figured it out and, as usual, the discussion taught me something.
Ditto. Totally
