Disable or restrict predictive text

[romulus15]

Hi everyone...

I'm running WM6...have nothing but problems with memory leaks, lockups, slowdowns, etc.

Disabling the Home plugin has helped a little bit, but I'm still having to soft reset at least once a day.

Anyway.

I'm having a major slowdown when texting due to the predictive text feature (where it offers suggestions). It was never much of a problem with 3.5, but with WM6, it's horrible. It seems in WM6, it not only offers predictions for the word you're typing, but it offers phrases - commonly typed combinations of words.

It seems that this expanded predictive text feature is drastically slowing down my text speed, often reducing me to typing one character per second instead of being able to fluently type.

This problem gets worse the longer I go after a clean load/hard reset as it has an opportunity to build it's dictionary of suggestions.

Does anyone know of a way to either a) disable/reduce the predictive text options or b) clear out its suggestions dictionary?

Thanks for your help.
