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

Ive turned off Auto Correct and unchecked "Suggest words when entering text" but it still shows up when I type. I saw this answered somewhere before but it didnt show up in the seach.
I believe this is because you have T9 enabled. try opening up t
one of the soft-keyboards and make sure the ABC-T9 selektor is on ABC.

nah you have to completly disable tx9. so use advance config...diamond tweak...kairser tweak...any one of those should be able to disable it.
i dont like it either...it drives me crazy!
I disabled all the T9 options on all the keyboards but the black box still shows up. I have Advanced Config 3.3 didnt see an option to disable this.
edit: I found the problem. It's an option on the soft keyboard itself not in the settings.
I did what the first responder did ... just switch from T9 to ABC on all the custom keyboards and that resolved it for me.
Didnt have to uninstall anything or use advanced config.
Thanks from my side also
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.
Issue:
I use a BT keyboard and Evernote for taking notes in my lectures. Everything works fine but the on screen keyboard pops up whenever I tap on a word to edit it or add more notes in between.
I want to know if it's possible to make an app that will disable the on screen keyboard from popping up when I'm using a my BT keyboard.
I'm using Cyanogen 6.1 RC1.

Possible? Yes, absolutely.
Does using a BT keyboard require you to select a specific input method? If not, a makeshift way to do it would be to download one of the Miimote apps and select that as your input method, rather than "Android Keyboard" or whatever.
If not, I'm sure someone has or can make an "invisible keyboard" to set as your input method.
Dude I think that will solve my issue. I'll test it out later but I think you hit the nail on the head. I appreciate it.
By the way you don't need to choose an input method with CM6 and Apple keyboard.

does anyone know how to turn off word suggestion on the Asus keyboard? I like the Asus one because it has numbers on top but even if I turn off word suggestion in the settings, it's still there. On the other keyboard I can turn it off, but it does not have numbers displayed on top.
Thanks for your suggestions!
I'd like to have an answer to this too. Darn thing displays previously typed passwords.
I got it to disable, not sure how though. I disabled everything even under the android settings.
I was able to disable the word prediction (which is abysmal in my opinion) by going to Settings>Language & Input>Settings (in the ASUS Keyboard section) and deselecting Next Word Prediction. Might also be able to do it by adjusting the Word Completion setting on that screen, not sure. I've got mine working the way I want so I don't really want to mess with it and risk screwing it up just now.
i need better keyboard 8, it's a piece of paradise after using the stock keyboard

Hi,
I use SlideIt all the time,and it can sometimes be awkward to get going when I load up a new ROM.
I have found that it takes a few install/uninstall/install/uninstall/install before it will go right through the load-up menus.
Just persevere.
Hi,
Sadly I did that 5-7 times, but still swiftkey won't work :'(

Hi,
Not sure about swiftkey,as I have never used it.
Try SlideIt.
I am sure there is a free version to test.
I change between swiftkey x and thumboard.
After enabling your keyboards from the settings and confirmed that they are checked. Go to a browser bar to type something and before typing, long press about 3 seconds in the area. Another window should come up labled "input method". Selecting that will bring up a window with all your selected keyboards. Select the one you want and you're good to go.
