Turn off auto additions to the user dictionary - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I'm using an HTC Legend and find it quite annoying that whenever i enter a word that android does not recognise it immediately adds it to the dictionary.
So, quite often if i misspell something in a search box it will be saved to my dictionary. I have to quite regularly go in there and clear out all the nonsense words otherwise they come up as suggestions when typing a message. Is there any way to disbale the automatic dictionary adds? Then i can just do it manually when i need to, ill surive with the extra work load
cheers!

There sure is!
Under my HTC keyboard settings I go to prediction and dictionary. From there check the setting to disable auto add of words to the dictionary. It literally says "no auto add words".

Either I'm missing something or my phone is different as I don't see that option.
what device are you on?

Still haven't got anywhere with this. It's really bugging me, having to clear out my dictionary quite often.

Android Market "hidden in menus" is working

after (how long? a year or so) the "hidden in menus" feature of the Android Market, used to hide old phones from the install list, seems to be working
shock horror! get in there before it stops working again, maybe if we set it now it will "keep" the settings
it still doesn't work in the "orders" tab and shows every single app i had once installed on old devices, but whatever
Where do you access this on the market?

Might want to point out this is the web interface you are talking about, your obvious isn't always obvious to the world...
i said Android Market, not market app
I've hidden my old phones several times, but they keep coming back on their own. I don't know what triggers the change.
Android Market could mean both the app and the web interface. In general everyone understands Android Market to be the phone app. You should specify if it is the web interface.

Google needs to fix the option menu.
They've got to add a way to delete old phones from the list.
Sick of having to hide the old phones from the menu, just to have it come back, having to redo the list again.

sorry to be pedantic but, Android Market - capital A capital M - only refers to the web interface...the Market app is simply called Market...though i understand that that would not be evident to everyone, it is not for us to know what everyone else would assume in order to cover for it...but now you know and i know and we all know, so it's sweet!

But I'm glad that Google let my Viewsonic G-tab with Flashback back *on* the list.

i just renamed my old phones "old" so even if it reappeared in the menus, i knew which was current LOL

[Q] keyboard drop down while writing

Hello,
I have a strange problem.
when I use the keyboard (I tried the latest version of "Go Keyboard" and "SwiftKey X") to write a message or enter to a website the keyboard dropdown and I need to click on the text box to reopen the keyboard.
It is really annoying... I tried to look for a solution in the internet but I couldnt find anything.
thank!
This has happened to me on several occasions as well...it always went away on its own, though, so I have no idea what caused it.

happens every time i open the browser, very annoying. its like i try to type in the text box and all of a sudden it disappears and tries to auto guess what i was typing. thought it was my phone, turned out to be dolphin browser in my case. using stock browser again and is fine. however, my data connection sucks and even on wifi in my house 15 feed from the router it loses signal.
Odd, I had the problem with my stock browser mostly, now that you mention it...and I haven't had the problem at all with Dolphin, that I remember.
It's really annoying!
Changing rom can fix that out?

It may (MAY) be an issue with the process itself: android.com.multitouchkeyboard. If you could find a way to just restart that process I think you can at least mitigate the problem. Have you tried a factory reset?
I know, it sucks, but when you get an odd system-based glitch like this (and it's a software issue) usually a factory reset fixes it. If that doesn't do it, something in the O/S may be corrupted, and flashing an fxz to stock 2.3.6 may help.
Also, are you using a sdcard, and if so what size/class? You could try removing the sdcard and see if the problem persists...

Also another one..
When lets say i open browser and type something in the address window like "xda atrix" and hit enter,it of course pulls up google with that search which is fine. But...if i try and click on the input box on the actuall google site ,and i start typing ..the browser will automatically scroll to the bottom of the page while im typing and continue to type in another box. And if u try and scroll back to the top,it wont let u. It will scroll right back down to the bottom so your forced to again use the actuall browser input box for another google search.
Annoying ...

Well, nonetheless, you have to wipe data/factory reset in CWM in order to install many of the custom roms out there... just sayin'!
Use the stock browser instead of dolphin or go or whatever. It will do it less. Even a custom rom will do the same thing. My favorite is trying to type something and then it tries to auto fill which means the keyboard pops outta sight and you accidently hot resturants which pops up another screen and the, you have to go back and retype what you were looking for! Very frustrating! Anybody know if this problem is on other phones? Like the samsung s3? I'm even using a different keyboard (A.I. keyboard which is great so far) and the same browser broblem exists. Texting is fine...

[Q] [q] t9 prediction problem!

I know i know...who the **** uses T9 anymore? I DO! So I had this problem with my HTC Sensation 4G and now I am having the same problem with HTC One S. I have predictive texting on while using T9 and it won't recognize simple words like "it" or "am." When I type out "it," it turns into "gt." I've tried adding those words into my personal dictionary to see if it would change anything but it doesn't. I have the open of clicking to see more predictive words but that just takes up so much time. I know this is such a small issue but does anyone have this problem too? And has anyone found a solution to this?! It's annoying the crap out of me! I know i can just switch to standard qwerty keyboard but i like T9...easier to text while driving and my fingers won't **** up the words as easily. RAWR! anyway...suggestions and comments are welcome and much appreciated!
Find the mirror app, activate it. Then find the lever on left side of steering wheel, tilt it upwards, check rear view mirror and pull over ffs.
Also if this happens only on short words check if you have maybe by mistake added some short words like gt to your personal dictionary and this is why they are picked first?
What's a mirror app? >.< And where can I get it? I saw literal mirror apps at the google play store but I'm assuming you weren't talking about that kind of mirror app.
I did check my personal dictionary and there was no "gt" added in there, but thank you for the suggestion!

No word prediction in browser with Swiftkey

I am using SwiftKey 3 with CM10 and since some releases when I use the built in web browser SwiftKey does not show any word prediction anymore. It works perfectly in other apps like SMS or XDA or whatever but not in the browser. Does anybody know how to solve this?

I don't think it's supposed to predict in boxes like the browser address...you're often typing strange words that can't be predicted just like in a password box. If it did predict, it would be annoying.

What elsmurfo said. URLs would be a pain to type, and Google wants predict what you type into googles searchbar (Google Instant ie search as you type). But try "Find on page" and Swiftkey 3 is back in business so its not all missing from Browser. Does it behave differently on HTC stock ROM btw? Cant remember
I am not talking about search boxes. I am using iNotes, the web interface of Lotus Notes, to write emails. It runs in the browser and word prediction does not work, which is bad. It did before, I am sure. I just don't know when it stopped working and why.
