HTC Dictionary rage - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know how to delete DEFAULT words from the HTC Dictionary? I like the keyboard, but it enrages me beyond belief that 90% of the time I try and swipe or type "and" it auto types "abd". Who would EVER need to type abd, and why would you choose it over "and". I would rather not choose another keyboard because I like the OS integration of the default sense keyboard and its built in emojis but this is driving me nuts. I'm rooted, so is there a file I can edit?

Don't know if I understood correctly, but it seems "abd" is saved in your personal dictionary, if so go to SETTINGS -> Language & keyboard -> HTC Sense Input -> Personal dictionary -> press the 3-dot menu, press delete, and select the words you want to delete.

Or try turning off the auto correct option.

Stupid abd instead of and
I am having the same issue with the abd instead of and. Please let me know when someone knows how to fix this!

Dictionary rage continued. Go but...
Dear XDA Developers,
I have a number of frequently used English words missing form my HTC Sensation dictionary. The most common being "go" and "but".
I´ve tried to add them to the dictionary, but they aren´t predicted the next time and aren´t even available from the list of choices, even though other bizarre and mis-spelled words are.
I´ve tried everything. Resetting the dictionary. Syncing the phone with my personal dictionary. Adding them in all kinds of ways. I did finally have some sucess and managed to add "go"... however "but" is still not recognised. Any thoughts appreciated.
Many thanks,
John

[Q] How to change keyboard HTC ONE ROOTED?

I installed the RenovateRom, which is really great. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2202696
But since they Removed the "select input method" notification. I dont know how to change the keyboard, i wanna use the original jellybean keyboard.
can anyone help me how to change the keyboard ?
thanks in advance.
What about if you just go into settings, language and input or something like that, then keyboard. Select keyboard and I would think you would be good.
On most keyboards, if you hold down on one of the buttons such as "spacebar" or "123" or one of ones on the bottom row, it will give you pop up a box to select your keyboard. On the stock JB keyboard, you hold the space bar to get the pop up.
hi,
i tried both. no way to change the keyboard on HTC ONE with your hints.
very strange.
someone any other idea ?
You can download something called "input select method" from the play store. I love the renovate roms but can never understand why they remove the input method selector.
Anyhow, hope that helps.

[Q] Htc One - keyboard help needed

i have been using my htc one for a couple of days now and am finding real issues with the keyboard and the auto correct feature. I know its not that i am miss clicking the wrong letter etc but find that simple things like 'i' gets changed to something like UN? and the word for allways gets corrected to 'fir'
these are just a couple that spring to mind but it seems like some of the very simple words are getting changed to something really odd, anyone one else finding this or know how to solve it. I know with some words it will learn them and then save them for next time but this is just crazy that the simple words it gets wrong...very annoying
AW: [Q] Htc One - keyboard help needed
Possibly the language hasn't been Set correctly? I have similar issues if I forget to adjust the setting when switching between languages.

hmm, pretty sure that when i first started to use the keyboard it came up with a list of languages that were all ticked and i 'unticked' all of them but english.
How would i check i have it right though?

+1 - swiftkey is simply the best android keyboard imo
but yea what they are saying is also probably right.
disable every language apart from english, and make sure the language key shows "EN"
Make sure the language for the keyboard hasn't been changed (this is separate from picking your language during set up of the phone).
On the HOX you go to settings --> language and keyboard --> HTC Sense Input (keyboard options) --> language
Should be similar on the One.

Question about the keyboard

I have tried other keyboards and the stock keyboard it seems it varies on rom i use. Every word i type in text shows up underlined in red like its a typo but its obviously not seeing as i know how to spell words like fun and goodbye etc. Any advice from anyone how to fix this ?
Just wondering.... Can you check if your phone's defaults language "English"

Text entry issue with 4.4.2 Sense 5.5 update.

Has anyone noticed that since HTC removed and replaced the phone pad and XT9 when you go to choose one single letter when typing then go to choose another single letter, it automatically adds a space in between the letters now?
Example: e y
I can't find a setting for auto spacing anywhere either. Do you think it's an error in the way they took it out then replaced it? I've never had this issue before the update.
I'm including an annotated screenshot of this page to help explain a little better what I mean.

Hey man, I am having the exact same issue as you... It's fine for people who use QWERTY keyboard as you select each individual letter yourself... Where as when you use the phone keypad you have to select them with the prediction, of course it then thinks you've entered a word and adds the space... If anyone knows a fix for this that'd be great!! I am even willing to try and edit the HTC_IME if someone can tell me where this setting might be stored.
I am also running into HTCs famous dictionary losing words like "am" "go" "in" etc... Yes it took me a hell of a long time to type this message on my phone...

HTC sense input personal dictionary problems

So I accidentally saved a misspelled word into my dictionary and now every correctly spelled word I type needs to be added to dictionary or it won't auto populate when I type. Have to keep clearing dictionary for it to work correctly.
Nevermind found the problem. Didn't realize that it was auto populating another language and there are settings for that. Close this thread please.
