How to disable autocorrection
The autocorrection functions look hidden in Mango B2 but I found the settings after some intense tapping. Open the menu Settings --> System --> keyboard --> press button "typing settings" --> press on the language below the text Keyboard et voila there is the settings page. The settings can only be changed for all the selected languages not individual ones.

Nice catch!

Tweaking Asus P525's T9 default input to Abc

does somebody here know how to tweak the registry to make the T9 input of Asus P525 default to 'Abc' instead of 'T9 English' ?
and also, how to make the T9 as default SIP after a soft reset instead of the keyboard?
bumping up
In the download area of Asus there's a small tool that sounds like it does something like that. Sadly direct links aren't possible. You can find it by pressing "Download" in the upper menu of www.asus.com, selecting PDA/PDA/P525 + press Search, then click on "Utilities". Now there's a "T9 Disable and Enable Utility".
I haven't checked it myself yet...
btw: Do NOT install the firmware update that's on the same page, unless you've got or want a french device...

Don't now the registry entry right now, but you can always activate the T9 input by pressing the * key for some seconds.
i know the T9 Disable tool you're talking about and I know how to activate it. but right after activating the T9, you still have 4 options:
T9 English - predictive text input for English language
123 - for entering numbers
Symbols - for entering symbols
Abc - for entering words other than English.
whenever i'm going to type something, like SMS or notes, the T9 always defaults to T9 English. what i want is for it to default to Abc.
i hope somebody here can help me find the registry entry for this.
thanks in advance.
hi boybi,
did u managed to find out how to do it? let me know if you already have the answer. thanks.

Nope, still haven't figured out how.
i found a reg tweak here:

Disable word-completion

Hello,
My HTC Touch Cruise was updated with the official HTC WM6.1.
I did not install any language or T9 ad-ons.
Until now I did not succeed in swithcing off (disable) the word completion feature.
I tried disabling everything in all keyboard settings.
There are some threads on this forum concerning this topic, but none of them has the solution for this.
Thanks for your help.

you want to disable xt9? i did a search regarding that couple of days ago. theres 2 solutions for that, 1 is a cab file and the other one is via registry tweak.
Hello, thanks for your reply.
I'm not sure whether xt9 and Word-Completion is the same.
I use allways the Keyboard for typing and I don't like the software choosing a word when I press on space.
But please give me the links so I can check whether that will work.
Thanks for all help.
try this cab file found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376649
or go to start/settings/input/input method(keyboard, block recognizer, letter recognizer, touch keyboard, touch keypad, transcriber)
then when you ex. choose touch keyboard options box will come out, click on it then xt9 settings box will appear, click on it then uncheck everything..... but i just remembered a friend of mine who also has this same problem on her polaris did this and it didnt work. i think i gave her the cab file that can be found on the link above to try. but i have no feedback from her yet.
Thanks.
I installed CAB. Now Word completion is disabled.
I totally do not understand what that CAB does.
But for the moment I'm happy with it.
Thanks again.
hey, i thought you all should know... i found this somewhere online and it worked for me without installing the cab
Start > Settings > Personal Tab > Input > Input Method Tab > Select Full QWERTY > Options > T9 Settings > Uncheck ALL
also do this,
Go to:
Start > Settings > Personal Tab > Input > Word Completion > Uncheck ALL
there's one final step... open a new text message or email, hit the keyboard arrow at the bottom of the screen to select a different input method, choose full QWERTY, move the slider at the bottom that is default T9 to ABC
hope this helps... i've fought with this for too long!
Thanks for this post.

How to add words to the dictionary?

I would like to add a few email addresses to my dictionary so I don't have to type them every time I fill out a form. How do I do this?
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using XDA App
When typing - move the cursor over the highlighted word that's not being recongized, tap and hold until menu pops up - at the bottom is "add to dictionary"
You can also add them manually by going into Settings -> Language and Keyboard -> User Dictionary. Then hit menu and add.

[Q] How to switch off spell check (xt9) on ChaCha

I'm using polish language on my chacha. When i write sms i see in notification bar information that xt9 En is enabled. So that everything i write in polish is underlined. I just hate it. Is there any possibility to remove that spell checking? or somehow use polish one? there is no configuration for this under menus i guess. Or I'm just serching in wrong one ;/
i'm on 1.52 with s-off and @fullbring_v2_eu
go to settings -> language & keyboard -> touch input -> hardware keyboard settings -> prediction (un-check this option)
Nah, i'm not talking about text prediction.
What i mean is that i have prediction off but english spellcheck is on underlining my polish words, as they don't exist in english dictionary. And under menu you mentioned, there is no option to disable it, or change dict language.
Yea, im having similar issue. Im using EU global rom.
Until today my language for typing messages was "Eng" (when you start typing message you will see small square on right side in notification bar, next to clock saying "Eng") and i was typing normally, without any issues.
Today i had OTA update of my ChaCha and my typing settings changed to "Eng xT9." Since im using Serbian language to type my messages it pointless to say that my every word gets underlined in red as incorrect word since it was not in english dictionary.
Its pretty much annoying to see your complete message underlined in red, and its lowering visibility of letters. Is there any way to disable "xt9" or change to normal "Eng?"
I found semi-solution. I installed Smart Keyboard from market and used it as default input method, and disabled all predictions spell corrections etc. it is not showing up with touch buttons and running in background so you can use your hardware keyboard as usuall.
hope it helped
I have the same problem, Azerty hardware keyboard and my language is installed in Dutch really annoying that every word is underlined!
so i have this problem too...i am coming from austria and we are using the htc chachas frequently for email checking and answering...
is there any solution now to solve this problem...i have also showing up the xt9 EN logo on the notification bar and i can't get away the red underline on each word.
i am using 1.54 with S-OFF
Can you guys perform a small check?
Set your phone's language to your country and start typing again. I have a hunch that xt9 is activated automatically by the ROM in the phone's language.

nope, already tried this...
switched from german (doesn't matter if i choose austrian, german or swiss version) to english and back again....
i think only in the original s-on country locked 1.18 version was a spellcheck for german, this was also the only version which hast the right qwertz keyboard.
now with cid 1111111 and original 1.54 there is no qwertz keyboard (even if i choose german language) and also no german spellcheck...
ok i can deactivate the dictionary funktion, but the spellcheck which underlines every word in red, i can't....
can you find out, which file does this spellcheck, so i just can delete it or do whatever it takes, to stop working.... i don't want a german spellcheck or a dictionary, i just want it to stop underlining f#####g words P
Is this available on the stock ROM?
Menu -> Settings -> Locale and text -> keypad -> XT9 [ ]
Tick XT9 for predictive text. Then go into XT9 advanced settings and fiddle about. There are tick boxes for Spell correction and so on.

nope... we only have to edit dictionary or to sync it , under keyboard settings (
no xt9 mentioned
I have the same problem
Alex, i don't have that section under settings..
running 1.52
HEUREKAAAA... i have the solution
it couldn't be easier...i am so dumb, really...!
to change the language of xt9 from EN to any other (in my case DE) just press FN + Spacebar to open a menu, where you an choose the XT9 language...
now i do not have anymore red underlines when i am typing an email or any other text in german...yihaaa!!!
update: now the dictionary is also in the right language...awesome-oooo
update2: for all those people who have keylayout problems after s-off and thinking this could ix it....it won't...this is for spellcheck and dictionary only...the keylayout files have to be edited by hand like we know it
OMG, and i pressed that combination so many times by mistake, but i exited it immediately. anyway, no help for me there, romanian not provided :lol

Better text prediction with Stock keyboard

Assalamualaikum and hello everyone.
I think most people don't care about tinkering with the stock keyboard. Neither do I, but yesterday, while I was just messing with settings, I found an interesting thing in the stock keyboard preference. There is an option to actually do aggressive prediction on pressing the 'space' or any punctuation marks. This is really good for those who have a really small screen or big fingers. If you want to see the difference follow the steps to enable it:
1. Go to 'System Settings > Language & Input' and select the 'Settings' icon.
2. Tap on 'Auto-correction' and select 'Aggressive'.
Tip: For previous word based prediction tick the 'Next-word suggestions'
Hit the thanks button if I helped you because I'm still stuck in that 10 post limit

Good, interesting thing!
