Help! Predictive Text Not Working

Lyman1 · #1 (**permalink**) 12-01-2008, 10:39 AM

I received my Touch Pro from Verizon last week
And the “Predictive Text” was working while using
the Full sized Qwerty Keyboard, and all of the sudden
it stopped. Furthermore, it has never worked while using
the Slide Out one.

Can someone point me in the right direction to get it
working once again.

All the Best!

I'm curious about this too.

hbenz2008, got a link?

EDIT: This thread?

Are we supposed to try that diable_xt9[1].cab file?

What exactly does it do?

yes indeed, I ran that thing weeks ago and never looked back. Good job finding it. It gives you predictive text back and remembers new entries as well.

It works great.

Not sure about remembering new entries being a good thing. If you mis-type a word, that gets added to the dictionary automatically. I don't think that's good.

Either way, I don't really use it for word completion, so I unchecked suggest words and left on enable auto correct, which seems to add apostrophes in some words (like isn't and won't, but not I'm and I'd).

What else does enable auto correct do?

LOL, yea I've noticed that myself.... (I think I have as many miss-spelled words in there as I do new ones)

When you slide out the keyboard it the phone defaults to ABC mode. If you want T9 and predictive text all you have to do is hit the function key and the space bar (there is a green T9 symbol on the space bar). A menu will pop-up that lets you select T9 mode, and do a few other things.

found another thread on xda that manually changes the registry to turn the old wm6 preditive text back on but it appears to have broken the phone keypad skin and compact qwerty one.. but regular qwerty and default windows keyboard work just fine... is that the same behavior you get with running this cab? I assume all it does is make the registry settings I did manually.

in any event... dont care much about the other input skins.. happy to have my preditive text back for keyboard and autocorrect... also seems like typing in text is a lot faster with the other method disabled.
