How to stop the word correction nazi???

Every time I type sms, my TP auto corrects and forces me to use words from its dictionary, instead of my intended word. Then it won't let me change its word. I have tried to turn off auto-correct and set suggested words to 0, but no luck. Please someone tell me how to stop this.

are u sure T9 is not selected?

I have same problem. With sms messages the word correction screws up my messages. I turned off the suggest words option under advanced config...but doesn't help the sms/mms messaging helper. Haven't tried registry hacks...might have to explore the registry a bit...

Yes I am sure it is not selected. I am using slide-out keyboard anyway, but am sure T9 is not selected. Please someone must have come up with some way to stop this [email protected]@@@ing thing from changing all my words.

There should be T9 as a secondary function on one of the buttons on the slide out keyboard. For the FUZE it is Fn+right arrow. It brings up a menu to choose ABC or T9.

turning off word completion in either t9 or keyboard mode doesn't matter. The word completion still comes up. Doesn't seem to be a way to turn it off!

Try This. this should do the trick... hopefully!

I have disable word correction using the Advanced confing App 3.3
The Advanced Config. 3.3 application has been a great tool for me so far and allows for many customizations. I am using a Touch Pro and it was able to stop word correction on my device. If you are going to install Advanced Config tool, you will need to install Microsoft .Net compact framework 3.5 first. Hope this is helpful.

Anyone using the NATF fix? A few questions:
1. Does it solve the forced changing of words?
2. Does it stop all corrections such as auto capitalizing of 1st word in sentence? - (which I like)
3. Any side effects of using this program?
I like people like NATF that solve problems. Kind of a hero.

Krizza, I also use AC3.3. Under INPUT I changed suggested words to 0 (default). This didn't seem to do anything for sms. Is there another setting somewhere?

maybe it isn't Advanced Config......

I just assumed that it was AC3.3 that was stopping the "suggest words" function. I have mine set to 0 (default) as well. My Touch Pro no longer suggests words when I'm texting, but I just checked out ,my phone and I have also adjusted START > SETTINGS > INPUT > WORD COMPLETION then I have unchecked the box that says "suggest words when entering text"......maybe that is what has been working for me all along.....hehehe

Krizza, I've had that un-checked all along. However the problem seems to have fixed itself when I reselected 0 (default) in AC3.3 then soft reset. It wasn't instant though, it seemed to correct after a few days. odd.

how to disable the rotation of phone pad and the screen in incoming call?

i always mistakenly touch the wrong button when making call and picking up the phone when the phone is tilt! how to disable it? many thanks!

Try uninstalling the program that rotates it. The native Sense doesn't do that.

we need a bit more information. The way how to manage the rotation depends on the application that does it. so, did you install thrid party software for rotation or did you change the settings in registry under whitelist for the G-Sensor sdk by HTC?

thanks! i have install the latest BsB, i have tried to uncheck the box of phone but cannot find which item is correct actually! please give me some idea! many thanks! what is the correct name item i should uncheck!??

Im fine now because i flashed a custom rom so im reset but i used bsb tweaks to rotate dialer which worked but didnt like it rotating in call so i changed my mind. I removed "phone" from the permissions in bsb tweaks and although the dialer screen no longer rotated the in call screen still did. Didnt know why as i had removed permissions.

Disable predictive-like text thing

Posted this in HD2 general, might not have been the right section as no-one seems to be paying any attention, and I really want to sort this!
May be a stupid question, 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!

disabling those options and resetting the device does the trick for me.....
btw what kind of keyboard are you using there?
also you have an "options" when selecting the keyboard input, in that opting menu you need to disable them there too.

I've tried a number of different combinations of settings and resetting the phone in between, just doesn't seem to pay attention to the settings.
Also think there's something weird going on as the XT9 and ABC doesn't make any difference when using the normal keyboards, it no longer has the XT9 style text prediction instead of this blocky word suggestion. Though I don't care about the missing XT9 mode, I just want to hide this.
Also, I'm using Swype keyboard, which was installed after this happened in the hope it would hide the word suggestion, but no such luck

Anyone? Anything?
Really want to sort this, but need assistance!

Try going to HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip. If you have the key 'suggwords', change it from 4 to 0. You may need to soft reset. There are many other settings that can be tweaked in there as well. You could just change 4 to 2, so the suggestion panel doesn't take up as much real estate. Still, it will occasionally obscure a control, which is annoying.

Perfect! That's exactly what I wanted.
I knew someone would know!
Many thanks.

How to make android keyboard show suggestion but never auto type them

My coworker just got an Android (HTC Desire HD) and she was wondering if there was a way to let the suggestions appears as she type but to avoid to auto accept those. Since most of the time they are not accurate something a la Windows Phone.
I am a noob when it comes to Android(had an iPhone and now WP7), I tried to play with her phone settings but seems she can turn off the auto suggestion or not. Is there a keyboard she can install or something she can do to have this setting?

Settings > Language & Keyboard > Touch Input > Text Input > Prediction.
You should then be able to un-check Prediction.
Hope it helps.

actually if I rember well that turn of Prediction what I was after is show prediction but don't use those words except if I click on them.

Something like that. It's annoying that the Android keyboard suggest words as you type and use them without my approval. I want to be able to type see suggestion but choose if I want to use them or not. Hope I am clear.

Try
Menu, Settings, Language & keyboard, Keyboard settings, then uncheck "show suggestions"

Change key board to one with more settings this one is my favorite http://www.mediafire.com/?tmm3tymgdzz

I guess you need an unlocked device for that (or whatever you call it in the Android world). If it is the case that thread can be closed I'll let my coworker that it's not possible since I doubt she'll "unlock" her device

Unlock = root

[Q] Can't turn off spell check (option missing)?!

Hi,
so on every android phone you go to 'keyboard and input' and there you can turn off spell check (red underlines on wrongly written words),
but on my find x2 pro this option is missing, which makes me mad, since I have everything red all the time since I'm writing in three languagues every day.
Edit.
I understand now what is happening:
OPPO uses Gboard as standard keyboard and in it's settings you can turn it off, so they don't offer this option in their OS, oppose to every other android phone on the market, rotfl.
This way it obviously only works with Gboard.

Where exactly did you find the option to switch dictionary off? I couldn't find it in gboard settings

Text correction -> spell check (last option)

I'm using swift keyboard
and unfortunately dictionary (red lines under the words in Arabic language) is still on despite that I've switched off the spell check option from gboard
But if I switch the keyboard to gboard it'll be gone for Arabic language

As I wrote in last sentence in first post turning off works only with Gboard.
I wrote already to swiftkey support so they include this option too, but I got zero answer.
And oppo support says they won't include it, because it's already in their default keyboard (Gboard)...
