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.

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.

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,

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.

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

can you ACTUALLY turn off the auto space option successfully?
Does anyone have yahoo, aim or msn, that would be willing to walk me though
the steps of upping the framerate and also adding a different keyboard. I have
tried to do both on my own, but I seem to be messing up some where, cause
neither end up working.
Thanks.
The keyboard is easy find one you like in the market download it then go back to the home screen and press menu , settings, language and keyboards, then put a check by the keyboard then go into gmail or anything here you can pull up a keyboard and on the input screen long press and select keyboard

OK, first things first. What ROM are you running?
Stock TNT--and therefore TNTLite--does not "allow" switching the keyboard. Of course, there are (easy) work arounds.

Stock with performance pack. I have done read the posts and tried to do it, but
I can't get it to work. Same with the frame rate hack. If someone could walk
me though it on a messenger or even make a video that would help.
OK, did you see this post?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10567745&postcount=2
The part about rooting is important. I didn't have to do that since I had already flashed TNTLite, so I can't give you any insight on z4root. Should be in the market though.

Already rooted.
You'll want to get Root Explorer from the market so you can move the API file from one directory to the other. Then, Jim, who wrote that post invited stock users to private message him about an app to help select the keyboard. I've read a lot of his posts and he really knows his stuff.
The stock reader used to allow me to touch and hold on a word to launch the dictionary, but it seems no longer able to?
This function was definitely there and it is stated in the manual as well. Is anyone else facing this? Thanks!
It still works for me definitely. I have noted that it does not always work for every word obviously. And to be honest, the dictionary only became available to me after 3.2 update.
Not working for me on prime1.7, only text to speech, share, etc options. Remember to have used it previously.

My options are the same as yours, no dictionary pop-up! Not sure whether it is due to Google stopping it's dictionary service? But if that is the case, then this will impact everyone as well...but Darkgage says it is working for him?
Darkgage, if you don't mind, can you pls chk again....it was working for me too but now it doesn't. Thanks!
I've tried my Stock reader and i can only highlight it, wirte a note, text to speech and copy. Only this four options. No dictionary. But i'm shure it was there when i get my TF.
EDIT: I tried the stock rom with hc 3.1 and 3.2 but there are the same options. Perhaps they stopped this feature.
Hi again, well so i successfully flashed the rom and its smooooothhh as butter. Except that when i try to compose a new message and type a contact in the recipient line, it looks as if it comes up blank box. At first i thought that maybe i had to import my contacts on to the phone it self rather then just on the sim card. When i tried again nothing changed but i touched the box that pops up this time when i write a contact and apparently the font works, it seems as if its white text on white back but i changed the background and its still invisible. So basically im just wondering if is this just me or does anyone else have this problem. Also i was curious if maybe there was something i could flash so i could have the original messaging app for the sidekick and not the android one. Much thanks for the help
I may have not really explained my problem so ill try and do it again; you know when your typing a new message and you want to, for example send it to your friend George, so you type G-e-o and basically a box appears under to try and auto complete what you were typing. Basically the box itself appears but the content inside is invisible

i used cm as a base for my rom RAGE 3.0.1 and i am noticing this as well, im going to look into a fix for this when i have time. It basically a white on white issue. If you touch and hold the contact area can you read it?
The Sidekick's stock messaging app is heavily integrated with the zipwip and t-mobile software that rom developers are desperate to rip out.
The answer in all cases is to use apk tools to get at some source code and make the neccessary changes yourself.

Yeah i figured that original message app is much slower then android but i like it more for some reason and it lets me block people on texting haha. Do you think their is a easy "noob" way of getting it like with a apk download or zip flash already out?

Try this
These lines appear twice in the build.prop

I deleted the linkify stuff with root explorer and now youtube runs as an app and phone number links bring up the dialer. If you don't want to pay for RE, try Estrong File Manager, but it's root access is a bit tricky to figure out...you need to go into the settings to enable each time, I found.

I can't help you fix the issue. But as for your last question... HTC was forced to remove it due to Apple patent litigation.

I am wondering the same thing. There are obviously more threads related to HTClinkifydispatcher, and the build.prop changes that are supposed to return functionality that HTC removed to comply with Apple patent requirements. However, this is what I have found. I am able to click links, Youtube links, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses in emails, texts, etc. from my bone stock Evo LTE. However, these links will only launch in the default application selected in the HTC App Association Settings menu. After rooting and making changes to build.prop (using Build Prop Editor eliminates issues with multiple entries of the same property), I am able to get selection option menus for certain linkable items. For example, Youtube links give options for browsers, or Youtube app. Email addresses, let me choose to send email using any of the email accounts I have set-up. HTML links let me choose between stock browser or Chrome. And addreses let me select to open in browsers or Google Maps. However, clicking on a phone number simply launches the phone dialer (just like stock), and does not give me the option to send a text message. Also, email addresses and phone numbers do not give an option to add a contact.
I have discovered that options are only provided if there are options that can be selected in the app associations menu. For example, the options I have in the app associations menu match exactly with the options I am presented when clicking linkable data as per above. However, if the app associations menu does not have options (in my menu the only association I can make to phone numbers is to the phone dialer) then the default (only) option will be launched when that data is selected. Does anyone else have send SMS or MMS text message as an option for phone numbers in the app association menu, or when clicking phone numbers in text after making the build.prop changes?
I think these workarounds are close, but IMHO we still do not have the true functionality that was removed due to the apple patent.
