How to get rid of "word completion" in SMS ?

I thought I turned all T9 and word completion off everywhere I found, but still when writing SMS I see this bar at bottom of the screen echoing my typing. It also has + sign on right.
So this is T9 right? How the hell do I get rid of it?

Hi Taajuus,
I have a 'T9' printed on the SPACE key of the slide out keyboard, you can reach through the 'FN' key.
So in SMS typing mode with the slide out Keyboard, press FN - Space, a pop up menu appears where you can configure T9 settings.
Hope that helps

There should be a slider on the actual on-screen keyboard itself to deselect T9. Give that a shot.

Yes! That did the trick, thank you!
Still there was no option to simple tick off T9, but i chose ABC and my problem was solved

Usefull app request - T9 Touch type app

I used to touch type on old candy bar and slide phones without having to look at the screen, by feeling the dialpad keys I knew what button I was on and using the T9 dictionary it was easy, I really miss this in new phones now.
I wanted to buy a dialpad phone with Android as a 2nd phone but there are none being made so I think they are going the way of the dodo.
There is no feesable way to touch type on new phones, qwerty keyboards have too many keys, haptic feedback is in its infancy, so I propose a full screen T9 keyboard for touch typing.
The whole display would be filled with 9 or 10 buttons representing 0-9 like a standard dialpad.
This wouldn't be the main input method, I think it would be good for it to activate by pressing the volume down button twice while in a text field and deactivate by doing the same thing. Hopefully it should be possible to touch type without haptic feedback when the whole screen is filled with only 9 buttons.
Let me know what you guys think.

why the full screen??? my htc hero has softkb with t9, fills half the screen. I never use qwerty. Works like a charm. you can get the htc_ime.apk and use that.

I havent heard of anyone being able to touch type on a touchscreen phone yet, ie writing an sms while driving without looking at their phone.
If it is literally filling the whole screen it may be possible on a 3.7" screen the buttons will be big, you are either pressing one of the corners, middle or sides.
If it is filling only half the screen it becomes a lot more difficult if not impossible.

Keyboard Accuracy Problem

Hi
I've been using HD2's Default Keyboard and Compact Keyboard and find it annoying with it's accuracy problem, but I have a idea that make it more accurate but a little of typing speed sacrefice
my idea is dynamic button domain, it means that when a letter on the soft keyboard is pressed, it's press domain expands so if the finger ( thumb most of the times ) moves a little to other sides, the letter does not change by that little move that is natural.
for example, when you want to press letter "D", you press it but because you pressed it by thumb, the thumb by a little move can go on to S, F, E, R or X that make the mistake. but with this idea, when "D" is pressed, it's activate domain area of "D" expands and by a little move of the thumb, no problem will be made.
I want to share this idea for if a programmer for win mo read it and found it interesting, code it and make a keyboard that is beautiful like HTC's and functional.
thanks
PS: I used BsB Tweak 1.6 for reducing screen sens and increased the tap time, but it's not still good

ive had the same prob. it happens a lot when i play around with my dog. i wonder if the static causes some prob or anything. i dont know.

Just "type" and do not look at the keyboard, which works very fine Just hit it for a short moment and you shouldn't suffer from that problem

How edit in middle of sentence or place cursor there?

I've tried 2-3 different keyboards, and I cannot figure out how to select a word from the middle of sentence, or place the cursor there if I need to. For example in this short paragraph, if I need to click after the word and above, I just can't figure out how to do it.
Feelin' kinda dense

Most phones have a dpad, but since the Captivate doesn't it's a little harder. On the Swype keyboard, you can swipe from the Swype key (the little squiggle with the i on top) to the "sym" key.
That opens up another page of keys with arrow buttons on it. Android really needs to do something about text input soon, it can be a pain.

Use your finger to tap on the screen.

Of course that's the first thing I tried. Maybe I just need to lear to have the touch.

[Q] Browsers with directional keys?

Does anyone know of any browsers that either have the ability to "bind" keys, or have directional buttons?
What I need to do is mimic the left and right arrow keys found on a normal keyboard.
I know there are a few keyboard apps that have these, but the problem is the page I need to use this on doesnt have a text box so the keyboard 1. does not pop up, and 2. does not interpret the arrows correctly.
Basically the page Im trying to do this on is a flash based page where you press either the left or right arrow key to get your next assignment. There are no visual "next" and "back" buttons on the page, which is making this really hard!
I just tried this app, and set my search key to "dpad left" and it didnt work in the browser... Maybe its not possible, idk.
Can someone please help me?
