hey guys, is it just me or is it normal that when you're typing an sms and select the suggested word in t9, it does NOT add a space, perform spelling or suggest next word. I find it a bit annoying that after selecting the predicted text that I then have to hit the space button again.
I've checked "Add a space after word" and "enable auto correct"
Is anyone else having this problem?
Same thing as you.....
also no t9 with keyboard option...would be good if had.
...and the T9 does not allow a new word to contain a number and letter combo. for example "2moro"
i know i should not be butchering the english language but it sure is handy.
previous winmo devices have allowed me to add number letter combo's so this seems weird

when i place a phone call my normal procedure is:
1: press the green phone button
2: slide the keyboard out
3: begin typing a few letters of the name
4: use the arrow key on the keyboard to scroll down to the persons name <--- this is very important
5: hit return and talk
i am finding that i am unable to use the arrow keys to scroll down to select a contact on the Tilt as opposed to the HTC 6800. remember, i'm already have the kb open at this point and would prefer to just continue using it.
this then requires me to pull out the stylus or try and nail tap the contacts name from the list that appears.
it seems to only way to scroll through is to select Contacts first, start typing a few letters then scroll down and click the name then scroll some damn more and tell the phone to call. this strikes me as gratuitious.
has anyone else experience this annoyance and if so, has anyone found a solution?
i tried replacing the dialer with the touch dialer but it seems to simply skin the same lame functionality.
please advise.
I understand you want to use the kb at this point, but how hard is it to just raise your left thumb up 1.5" and use the D-pad?
I can duplicate the problem, but I've got a similar "OK... But..." comment.
Why use the keyboard? When the phone pops up, start tapping the numbers associated with the letters in the name and it'll intelligently start filtering the list. Then use a finger or the D-pad to select the one you want.

ok - i had never really done that. im just so comfortable typing on the qwerty kb that that has always been the method i have used which worked up until this phone.
only irritant i can find with the dialpad method is there is no space key for first letter first name first letter last name.
i can live with it i guess but its not nearly as bling when yer tapping on the dial pad like every other phone out there instead of using your kick ass slide out keyboard.
the habit may have transfered from my days with a treo where you simply type the name and dial.
very convenient.
guys...
any1 got any idea how come when I'm using the build in QWERTY keyboard, I'm having trouble typing words "near" or "haha" ?
Under options for the input types, I've already untick "Suggest words when entering text" and cleared stored entries.
For example, I can't type the words "near", it will prompt me if I want to add "a" after I've type "ne"
I do not have any problems when using the software based QWERTY keyboard though.
hmm.. dun tell me only my set having this prob?
I would suggest ticking "Suggest words when entering text" because with it unticked you wont get any words suggested!
I have the following settings on my MDA Vario III and it works perfectly:
Suggest after entering A SPACE
Suggest 4 word(s)
Add a space after word AND Enable Auto Correct ar both ticked
With that done you can add a word to the built in dictionary as follows:
1. Type the whole word you want to add e.g. near then type a space
2. Type the word again and it should be in the dictionary now (at which point it will be suggested in the list of words it brings up!)
FYI when I tested it just now my phone didn't suggest near or haha until I had typed them first, now both appear after I type a few letters!
I hope this helps, but please feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Great. It is clear now at last how it works. Do you know also how to delet words from this dictionary?
The only way I have found to delete words is as follows BUT bear in mind that it gets rid of ALL the words that you have added:
Start>Settings>Input>Word Completion then click on Clear Stored Entries

Thanks.
I have been trying to work out how to clear out suggested words.
Clear suggested entries seemed too straight forward
As the title suggests I'm having a problem with typing using the T9 on the QWERTY keyboard.
When start typing a word it gives me 4 suggestions. I can click on any of the 4 suggestions to chose it, or press space to accept the 1st suggestion.
Almost every time I click on one of the other 3 suggestions it starts writing it out where my cursor is, and then jumps to another part of the text / email / forum post etc... so that the first few letters are in the right place, and the rest is randomly placed.
Anyone else having this problem, and is there a way to get all the text in the right place?!!
I find that choosing the word from the list using the hardware button D pad on the diamond solves the problem, which I forget to do sometimes and when I point on the screen to the word I want it does what you say.
Hope this helps!
Thanks... I will try that next time!
The other option is just to type the actual word you want I suppose.
I wonder why it jumps lines?
Hi,
is there any registry value i can change to disable the word completion on standard keyboard. it annoys me a lot coz the screen is small enough already don't want that extra line.
I tried into the input setting and untick the word completion, t9..... everything, but it just still there!!!
Thankx in advance
yeah would love to know too
Same here
Same problem here! It's the most annoying thing ever. I can barely write a SMS. Even with the keyboard (I own a Raphael!) the same thing happens. I disabled everything but...
For me disabling works when switching T9 off in one of HTC´s keyboard......then with the standard keyboard I also have T9 disabled.....(Stock HTC 1.37 German ROM).
I had to make sure that all of my settings for the standard keyboard were not selected (even the greyed out ones like "Add a space after word") before the annoyance stopped.
Just see!

Wondering if any of this can be changed/disabled:
1. After voice inputting text, whole input is highlighted so if i press back but only one word was misspelled the entire input self-deletes.......
2. When attempting to correct text, I get this large annoying box with a "Tt" or something in it that looks like a font selection, I need it to go away.
3. when I voice input "gets" and it only shows up with "get", then I select the space where the "s" needs to be added and it suggests the entire word "gets".......so it looks like :
get|
gets|getting
and if i select the change it becomes
getgets
it's about as bad as it gets........any help on fixing these three issues would be greatly appreciated
I know this isn't going to be much help but I had the same annoyances with Handcent, so I switched to Go SMS...no major problems just small things that bother a person OCD but not a normal person lol
These problem might be keyboard base. I used Swype and didn't notice problem 2 and 3.
anyone else?

For 1 touch somewhere in the text to unselect everything and put the cursor where you want it.
2 the T box is a context menu for text editing: cut, copy, paste.
3 (on swype anyway thats all I use)select the word and double tap that will bring up the word choice window and selecting the correct word will replace it instead of just inserting it there with both of them.
Hope that helps...
Your best bet might be to ask in the Hancent forums. I also had a few issues with it so went to Go sms myself and am enjoying it alot.
