Hi all,
Is there any way to reset the frequency of "common words" in the T9 dictionary? For example, when I try to type "is", the keyboard suggests "id" and "id" is not in my custom dictionary (I've tried erasing all entries there). Obviously, there have been many times when I may have accidentally selected "id" as my preferred word and now the dictionary thinks that that is what I'm mostly trying to type. Is there any way to reset this, short of typing "is" lot's and lot's of times?

Hi,
I have mistakenly entered a misspelled word in my hero and unfortunately it’s one of the most common word in my language (Swedish). It’s very frustrating to have to click the correct word every time.
Is there any way to remove words from the user word list?
Also, I thought there was some intelligence built into the whole thing and that it would learn that I prefer the most chosen word an at some stage start to suggest the correct one. However, after choosing it SEVERAL times it still suggests the erratic word. Is it me or T9?
/g
I like the predicitive text on the QWERTY keyboard, the eris feature where alternatives are shown for typed words, presenting an opportunity to choose the correct word. I enjoy using this when doing IMs in Google Talk, for example. This feature seems to be disabled in the default web browser on the eris, in 1.5 before, now in 2.1. The predictive text does not work in the search bar and it does not work in data entry fields in forms displayed by the browser, for example
Can anyone please tell me how one would enable this predictive text input in all apps on the phone? including the search bar for webkit and data entry on web forms?
<see last post for solution>
There is probably a good technical reason for this, like somehow the input method is not known to the web browser application. Perhaps the browser itself is not consulting a system table for availability of this input method at run time. Maybe it only happens at install time? Is there some manual change that could be made to enable this?
I think they disabled it in browser because a lot of websites have names that the predictive text obviously doesnt know and when you type fast and hit space quickly it auto selects words which Id imagine could be quite a pain in the ass online.

Thanks, You are right. I agree as to why they disabled it, but i think the way the feature works, it would really be more benefit to me than a hindrance.
1) Adding a mispelled word or one not in the dictionary is painless, editing this dictionary in the settings is easy too.
2) For activities like retyping stuff (like my email address) in data entry fields in the browser over & over; this would be much better with the ability to spell-check and remember words, especially when accuracy is critical.
I want predictive text in the browser. Why not a voice input option (like in the voice search applet) as well?
Can someone help at least give me the choice, I think these two input methods work very well.
Solved - 2.1 enhanced HTC keyboard, with voice too! - link
This pretty much gives you voice and predictive text wherever you want it without sacrificing anything:
nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/04/add-full-voice-to-text-to-htc-desire/
Followed the "HTC Sense Style Keyboard Instructions"
Instructions were for HTC desire but this worked fine on stock OTA 2.1 Eris, not rooted.
HTC_IME_lo_25.apk is the one that installed okay for me. I was half-asleep at the time and I think the other version did not install right, but you might want to try again.
Enjoy!
Does anyone know where the user's dictionary is located?
Is there a way to edit it (include new words, for instance) on the PC?
It's tiresome to long press each and every word...

User dictionary on the phone is:
settings--> language and keyboard--> user dictionary
Don't know about whether it is possible to edit on the PC.
First time android user so I don't really know if it's me or the phone, but for some reason whenever I'm midway through a sentence and type "its", it automatically corrects it to "It's" with a capitalized "I", even if it's not at the beginning of the sentence. I then have to select "its" from the recommended words instead which ends up not adding an apostrophe.
The same thing happens when typing "i", sometimes it auto-capitalizes it and other times it doesn't no matter where I type it in the sentence. Neither of these are in my user dictionary, and adding them doesn't change anything either.
Anyone have an idea of what might be going on? This is with touch input btw since I'm not a fan of swype just yet.
has anyone had issues with swype not using it's custom dictionary but what appears to be the built OS custom dictionary (i'm assuming it's an android thing and not a LG thing)?
when i first setup swype it worked as expected. but it seems that the built in dictionary has taken over. here are two examples:
i prefer to see/use "LoL". don't care for "lol" and really dislike "Lol". the swype custom dictionary pays attention to the spelling and the capitalization of the words in its custom dictionary. the Android custom dictionary does not. hence most of my LoL's come out as Lol's.
the other is noticeable when sending email. when working properly, i can email to my work address by entering my first initial last name and it autocorrects properly and the email client presents the correct address. but when not, it autocorrects to an incorrect word and i thus have to type my name to the last letter. (the last letter is where where the autocorrect is wrong)
is there any way to disable the built in custom dictionary? I've tried unchecking 'spelling correction' from the Language and input menu. I've tried adding LoL and my firstinitallastname into the built in dictionary...but that doesn't work. i prefer to use the swype dictionary, mainly cause it works. it finds my name and pays attention to capitalization.

Try this, go to settings > general > language and input > uncheck spelling correction at the top. I think that's the default Android OS spell check or the one associated with the android keyboard. See if that helps.
if i go to apps and clear the Settings and Cache for Swype...then go to use it again (and go thru the setup) it works as it used to and as i expect. but once it try to add anything to the dictionary, it changes the behavior.
