Issue with Sprint's 6.5 and Custom T9 Dictionary
 

I appologize in advance if there is already a post on this but I did a search and couldn't find any mention of it.

I am running Sprint's custom 6.5 ROM and for the most part am happy with it. The only thing that annoys me is the Custom T9 Dictionary. After adding a work to the dictionary, the T9 dictionary will find the word until I do a soft reset. After a soft reset the entire Custom Dictionary seems to be deleted. Has anyone else experianced this? Is there a solution? I did a hard reset, reinstalled programs tweeks etc and nothing. Still the same issue. Very annoying.

I don't want to hear answers like don't use T9 or use the slide out keyboard etc. I would like to use the T9 dictionary without the keyboard when making quick text responses. Thanks in advance for anyones help.

Interesting... not quite sure why the dictionary would clear. It could be that a registry setting is stuck or incorrect. Try doing the following:

1. Open Start>Settings>Personal>Input>Options
2. Toggle the XT9 settings off, then back on again.
3. Soft-reset and see if the problem is fixed


HOWEVER - I do not use XT9. In the past, I used autocomplete which seemed to update itself when you added words it did not recognize. I just did some digging, and it seems that XT9 might not be able to learn new words by default. Have a look at this thread at XDA-Developers that shows how to update the dictionary:

Thanks for the suggestion but this didn't work. I went to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=610549 per your suggestion and and tired editing eT9MyWords.exe in the Windows folder by adding a few custom words. After a soft reset, all the words were gone. Seems a soft reset clears the list. Very weird but I am sure there must be a solution. My search continues.
