[Q] [q] t9 prediction problem! - HTC One S

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!

Ahhhhh, that would be "misspelled", not "miss spelled"
im having this problem as well, anyone ??
Hi all,
This drove me nuts for a while too.
Open explorer and navigate to device> windows >eT9MyWords
Select that and that opens up a listing of the T9 words you have inputed. delete the ones you no longer want in there.
I have added the shortcut to this to my programs listing so I don't have to navigate there each time.
Hope that helps.

No need to "Hope", that helps me a lot, thanks. I'm not crazy about all those miss spelling or just something that the T9 doesn't have and stored it, but it will be better to be able to delete all the crap.
I had this very irritating problem too. Everytime a mis-spelled word is typed, it is automatically stored in the whatever database. And the mis-spelled words will come back to haunt you every now and then.
Is there any way to control such that a new word is added only if you tick the "correct" button during the ABC mode's learning mode? Instead of the dictionary adding all the typing error into its database by itself?

SlideIT autospace option

SlideIT is always placing a space between words or, more accurate, in front of all words. Only the first word in a text gets away without a space before it. But, if I write the first word in a text, delete it to replace it with another word, it will create a space and the word will be all small letters!
Example:
Hi it's me!
(now, if i want to replace the word "Hi" with "Hello", I'll go back, delete that word only, and it turns out like this:
<space>hello it's me!
(a space in front of the first word, and its all small letters)
Also, in my language (norwegian) there is a lot of words that are combined by two words, but SlideIT doesn't allow me to enter two words without a space between them, unless i go back and delete the space myself.
Well, easy solution: Go to options and de-select the Automatic space option! Yeah, thats the problem right there. I've already tried a bunch of times, but it doesn't change anything! The spaces keep appearing no matter what!
I've already emailed Dasur, and here is what I got:
Dear Sven Erik
We will check this issue,
Can you tell me if it append aso in Note an Word application ?
Best regards,

I answered YES to both apps, but still no answer.. (Sent on April 12th)
So, is anyone else having this problem?
Any solutions?
SlideIT looks nice and is nice to use but it has lots of little annoying bugs like the one you highlight here. The killer for me was the correction issue with HTC Messaging. I emailed Dasur suggesting they change their editing to the method Swype uses where you can place the cursor anywhere in a word to change it to something else using the suggestion system. With SlideIT you need to highlight the entire word which can't be done in HTC Messaging. As a result, any changes when composing text messages means the word has the be deleted and retyped in it's entirety.
As a result I'm still using Swype until these problems are resolved.

I'm starting to regret paying for this software...
tried asking for a refund if you're that unhappy?

Norsk og tysk har mange likheter! (Er det riktig?)
I have the exact same issue: In German, many words are combined to create longer words as well and because the automatic space option is not working, it is not possible to enter them without having to remove the spaces inbetween manually afterwards. I also contacted Dasur and they sent me an answer thanking me for the feedback... But nothing has happened since! Otherwise SlideIt is awesome!
talk to them on their facebook page, they may be a bit more responsive there.

Yup, Norwegian is part of the German language tree
I sent Dasur a new mail yesterday, and again they reply with questions. I answer them, and guess what? No replies...
Same problems with dutch language here. I also searched for a solution and sent an e-mail but no response.
I got my response from Dasur now, it seems like the auto space option is only ment for ABC-mode:
It's not a bug,
We think that in slide mode* you write word after word
and not try to add word to word (in most languages you can't combine words)
my suggestion to you is to save the long words and to slide them in one slide
In the next version we will offer to disable the auto space in the slide mode too.
Great Day,

But that sucks! Sliding really long words with one pass is very inconvenient! The margin for errors is far too big! And it would be such an easy thing to implement! Come on!
Oh well... We'll see what the next version brings.
I just realized that the auto space option makes no sense if it is only ment for the abc mode, as you enter all letters and spaces manually. so as a reply to the mail I received earlier (see my previous posts) i had to reply:
Hi,
So what you are saying is that auto space option can only be turned off in abc mode? Is there even auto space in abc mode? How does auto space work in abc mode? I am sorry, but I cannot seem to make any sense of this...

I agree, v4.1.0.3 has been out for quite a while now so i hope im wrong but i think it will still be a wihle before a newer version is released.
As mentioned, it actually does respond faster than Swype but Swype is much more finger friendly, has less bugs, its just a smarter layout for editing etc.
SlideIT has great advantages though like the abbreviations etc so if they can just tweak it a little, it will be better than Swype. Needs skins as well, very plain unfortunately.
New mail received!
Okay, i still cant seem to figure these guys out...
Dear Sven Erik
We meant that when you are tapping after a word in slide mode you will not get the auto space
if you slide you will get auto space always

I feel they still havent quite ansvered my question, so I asked:
Hi,
Okay I understand. But why have you released a version with an option of turning off auto space if the option itself doesn't work?

Any way to change a button on swype keyboard

Topic pretty much says it all. I would really like to replace the tutorial button with a speech to text button on the swype keyboard. Anybody know if this is possible?
Thanks,
Travis
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
That tutorial button serves a number of purposes and shouldn't be replaced.
Yes, it's like swype's main menu. I mainly use it to delete gibberish words that I end up adding when I'm on a swyping marathon. It's also useful to correct a word that's already been swyped.
Not to sound like an ass, but my question was not what the button was for. I know that already, I have only actually used it once after a few weeks with the phone. There is also another way to get to that same menu. So for ME, changing the key would be useful. I was under the impression that making my phone more usable for ME was what android was all about. If I wanted to be told how to hold/use my phone I would have just bought an iphone 4.
Again I do not want to be an ass, but this is the 2nd time(first not at xda) I have been told the purpose of something instead of getting an answer to my question.
So please anybody, is there a way that I can change the swype key to something else(speech to text)? If so what do I need to go about doing.
I would just like a straight yes or no answer, and some direction.
Thanks,
Travis
You probably shouldn't have called it the "tutorial key" then. It made you sound like you had no idea what you were talking about.
Hello, I believe the captivate and vibrant are similar so this may be of use to you:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742084
I know it's not changing the swype button to a voice button, but it is adding a voice button which is half of what you asked for
Best of luck!

[Bug] User dictionary added words being lost

Ive had my phone for a few months and I'm having problems with all the "user added words". They all disappear and I have to start all over again. Very annoying as I prefer to use the phone-pad with predictive txt on to send messages.
Is there anyway to either -
A) Stop this from happening
B) Back-up the words I add so that when it looses them again(which it will) I can reload them back in. There must be a file somewhere that contains these words.
Or, if you have a better solution let me know.
Any help appreciated.
bump...please help if you can thanks

what rom?
you try a different keyboard from playstore?
Thanks for reply.
Its just the stock android version 2.2.2. Bought phone sim free so no network stuff on it.
No, only using the stock keyboard.
Its been behaving lately but that means ive added lots of words so id hate to loose them
Just lost all my words again...this is so annoying.
Wish I had a backup of "user dictionary" so I could reload them.
PITA
sorted it by installing both
Black Bolts Keyboard (which saves user dictionary in usual android location)
and
User dictionary manager UDM (this was no good with LG keyboard as the location of file is different from normal android location)
from google market.
Now i can use this new keyboard, which looks and works better, save my words and also back them up to sd card in case phone looses them...
Sorted.
Hope that help anyone else with this problem.

How to activate the underlining of spelling errors in red ?

I've been having this feature on my previous OPO (LineageOS) and was wondering whether I needed to activate it in the language or spelling correction settings of my S8+. Couldn't find it in my device or SwiftKey settings though. So I suppose it's somehow OS or google related.
I find it very convenient in any messenger app (Whatsapp, Twitter etc.) to get the misspelled word underlined in red and by tapping on it I'd get a bunch of suggestions for the correctly spelled word.
I might be wrong, but maybe the answer lies in the google settings, as this feature is enabled on every windows PC I use.
I'm grateful for any advice on how to enable this. Thanks in advance! :good: :laugh:
