Word suggestion

I've had my touch pro for a few days now after upgrading from a wm6.1 Tytn II but no matter what i try i can't get word suggestion to come up with anything when using on-screen keyboard. I've gone through all the settings i can think of. Anybody else having this trouble?

Same here. Tried in the regular settings, as well as in Advanced Config, but to no avail...

Ok here is a fix that i found. When you turn on the on screen qwerty keyboard you have to switch off t9 and switch it to abc. This has worked for me for both on screen and hardware keyboard. Hope this helps

Standard keyboard does have any word completion dictionaries installed for the Diamond or the touch Pro.
If you want word completion, you need to use the full QWERTY htc keyboard, not the standard WinMo keyboard.

Problem persists...
Turned off T9, switched to "ABC", ans I am using the hardware keyboard. The same problem persists. The black line still appears at the bottom of the screen, when I type something it appears both at the "correct" location plus on the bottom black line. If I make the mistake of using the keyboard arrows - crash boom bang. A lot of words appear near my cursor. And the funny part is that I always have to read my SMS before sending it: this magnificent auto completion method somehow finds a way of adding unwanted words somewhere in the message body. It is *very* annoying.
I don't always use English when I type a message, and, horror: sometimes I even don't use punctuation, because I'm in a hurry.

Did you try to go in the T9 options and untick everything, and go in settings -> Inout -> Word completion and untick everything as well?

Full QWERTY and T9 on for me works!!!

[Q] Auto-correct qwerty keyboard?

I've checked the box to turn on predictive, but doesn't work? Any ideas?

First, go into the messaging app and open a text conversation without sliding the keyboard out. Then long-press the text input box and choose "touch" instead of swype. Then exit out of that, go into settings > languages and keyboard > and the touch input option needs to read "standard." Also go into one of the other screens and turn on text prediction and spell check (if you want) for QWERTY keyboard.
Now go back into the text messaging screen and it should work.
I don't want to tell you how long it took me to get it to work. It's nice of them to tell me that when the keyboard is slid out certain menu options aren't available that you need to access in order to turn on certain features for said keyboard...

I don't have the option for auto-correct on the hardware keyboard.

unnclespoon, you rock!
@unclespoon, thanks a MILLION. This answered a lot of questions for me. I was going round and round in all the menus trying to find auto-correct. Lame that you actually have to enable this menus from an actual message.

The only reason you need to open a message is to be able to switch from "Swype" to "Touch Input". You can do this on ANY text entry field, though.
For the auto-correct and prediction options, you can go (from the Home screen) Menu, Settings, Language and Keyboard, Touch Input, Hardware Keyboard Settings, then tick the box to enable Prediction.
Edit: Note that you HAVE to have "Touch Input" enabled instead of Swype for the touch-screen software keyboard, or prediction won't work on the hardware qwerty, even with "Prediction" enabled in the menus.

On-screen keyboard while tab is docked?

Sometimes I'd like to use the on-screen keyboard while the tablet is docked (use thumb keyboard and would like to access the text shortcuts). Anyone know how to do this? Don't see anything in settings, but maybe I'm missing something, or maybe there's a hack. Help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I would also like that feature

When in a text field with the tablet docked. tap the little keyboard icon in the notification bar next to the dock icon, and turn Use Physical keyboard off. Then the onscreen keyboard will come up. However you will still be able to use the physical keyboard, but the onscreen keyboard will pop up.

Can't believe I missed that. Thanks a ton!!!

Onscreen keyboard not moving

When I touch a text-field, the onscreen keyboard pops up, which is all fine and dandy, but the text-field doesn't move up and away so I can see what I'm typing. This problem is universal to all apps, so I know it's a system problem. Any ideas?

Either move the on-screen keyboard for input boxes near the bottom, or pin/dock it (which will re-size the app window and should bring the field into view or at least let you scroll to it)

Is there an easy way to mod the on screen keyboard on desktop mode so that it can be made smaller? The size it scales to when in portrait mode is more than big enough, pity it wouldn't stay that small on landscape, thanks.

This is for the desktop and not Metro? If so that's by design - unless you pin the keyboard it floats, and you move it out of the way...

It was for Metro. Somehow it fixed itself after a couple of hours...

I want it to be taller. Too close to the bottom screen is hard to press correctly
