Disabling predictive text function

Hi, I just bought a new laptop and downloaded the latest Firefox v 4.
How do you disable the predictive text function (?) ... so that I am not typing words in the search bars and then what I typed historically comes up as a suggestion?
I would rather have nothing other than just what I want to type.
thanks

For the location bar choose "Nothing":
* Firefox (Tools) > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: Nothing
For the search bar and forms on web pages see:
* Tools > Options > Privacy > History: [ ] "Remember search and form history"
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Form+autocomplete

  • Disabling Predictive TEXT feature

    Is there a way of disabling thepredictive text when typing? It's really annoying when the phone chhoses what you want to write, or rather misprexicts your intended word, causing you to waste time deleting and retyping.
    Sometimes the text window obstructs view of the text you want to copy! Its really a bore and I need to know how its disabled!

    Yes go into Options,(wrench) and go to either typing or keyboard and untik predictive text.
    THE BITTERNESS OF POOR QUALITY, LINGERS LONG AFTER THE CHEAPNESS OF PRICE, IS SOON FORGOTTEN.

  • Can predictive text be turned off?

    Can predictive text be turned off?

    Just wanted to add my voice to those who want to disable predictive text. I hated it on my Nokia and turned it off (YES!!!). It makes my iPhone 3G seem LESS intuitive because it rarely, if ever, divines MY intentions. Whether it is a name, a term or phrase or from the smattering of foreign languages I incorporate in EVERYDAY life, the iPhone vomits up wrong choices, forcing me to correct, re-type, and sometimes re-re-re-type what I want. This is not a SMART feature.
    Kinda reminds me of the usual MS explanation: it's not a bug, it's a feature!
    PUH-LEASE, Apple... Give us the power in the next software upgrade!

  • Reactivate predictive text - bold 9700

    Hey emailruty,
    I have tested and have this option available. If you go to Options - About what is the version of BlackBerry device software that you are currently using? I would like to test this and get back to you.
    Thanks,

  • Predictive text on standard English keyboard disabled

    When I install third-party keyboards, the predictive-text option for the standard English keyboard is disabled and not able to be re-enabled - it looks fine under settings, but on the globe pop-up, the switch is off and incapable of being enabled.

    Hi there,
    It did indeed come with predictive text. To make sure you have it, go to Options > Keyboard. The fourth entry down should be "Show predictions and suggestions" and it should be on.
    Do you see that, or not?
    If you want to thank someone for their comment, do so by clicking the Thumbs Up icon.

  • Predictive texting ends mysteriously

    Predictive texting capability has ended 2x mysteriously.  The setting for predictive texting is ON, however the predictive texting capability disappears and texting behaves the old way without predictive texting enabled.  When I go to settings==>general==>keyboards, the 'predictive' IS enabled, however the predictive functionality mysteriously becomes disabled.  I had to slide the predictive setting to off and then on again to re-enable this.  Has anyone else experienced this problem similarly? It's happened 2x without any explanation.

    boyetik,
    You can't turn it off, but if you tap the (x) next to the suggestions, after 3 or so times, it will no longer make that suggestion.
    I live in a town that has a name derived from a spanish word, and predictive text suggested an instrument name to replace it. After a few times of tapping the (x) next to the suggestion, it no longer offers that suggestion.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • 6280 - Cant turn Predictive Text on

    I can't work out how to turn on Predictive Text. Elsewhere on this forum people have written about selecting "options" when writing a text message but there are no options for Predictive text that I can see.
    Firmware 3.60 on Vodaphone. 2nd phone due to first being faulty.
    Any Ideas? Is there a hidden function somewhere? Like pressing and holding the left function key during text input turns the t9 dictionary on/off
    Thanks

    hi aubs,
    i live in holland, and i got my 6280 from a store that specialises in their own deals with subscriptions with network providers. i don't know if such stores exist in the UK, but there are many here in holland. their offers are often much better than any of the network providers (e.g. vodafone, t-mobile,e tc.).
    thanks for the suggestion. i'll get in touch with them and post my findings here. just too busy lately.

  • Predictive text non-English characters to be made ...

    I just filled an enhancement request on this feature, please vote for it HERE:
    Predictive text non-English characters to be made optional
    The story is: while using predictive text for non-English languages (Polish in my case) the dictionary words are grammar correct which include special characters like: ą,ę,ć,ś,ż,ź,ó,ł etc. For texting (SMS) operators count these as 3 characters making a message much longer than it looks. Therefore I can tell you no one uses these characters while texting and people use EN only characters instead a,e,c,s,z,o,l... which makes using the predictive text useless for eg Polish language.
    I'd like to have an option to switch using these non-en chars off for predicting text, which is grammatically not correct but in real life that's how people type.
    So basically if there's an option to disable lang specific characters I would be getting an example suggestion of 'Prosze' instead of grammatically correct 'Proszę'. 'Prosze' is a 6 character word, 'Proszę' is a 5+3=8 character word. Considering a single SMS message a 300 chars, than it really makes a difference.
    Simple solution would be to replace every char ą with a, ć with c, ó with o etc... in each word suggested for the ones who have this option enabled.

    HI,
    You can write a code in PAI of main screen. there by using loop at screen you can make that field editable or disabled.
    Code sample:
    loop at screen.
    ****condition for value check
    if screen-name = 'TEXT_EDIT_NAME'
    screen-output = 1.
    screen-input = 0.
    modify screen.
    endif.
    endloop.
    Hope this will help you.

  • Why is predictive text not working on my iPhone 5s anymore

    Why is predictive text not working on my iphone anymore

    Actually, I just found the answer to my issue in this thread: The type correct/predict function for mail and text in iOS 8.0.2 was working fine then suddenly disappeared and reverted to the old style. I've checked all settings that seemed appropriate. How do I restore? I actually liked the new version. 
    Which says "a thin gray bar with a white dash in the middle of it immediately above the keyboard, you can reopen the suggestions by sliding up with one finger on the white dash." 
    That did it.
    I too have noticed a change, it seems with the new IOS update. My Predictive setting is on, but it seems before it would come up more often in predicting words and also give me a few choices. Now, it's not coming up as much and only providing one 'predictive' word which is not always right. This change is not very useful.

  • Predictive text (normal vs word suggestions)

    Using a 3120classic I've selected Predictive Text - Word Suggestions.
    On my previous (non Nokia) device with predictive, when I started entering a long word like 'yesterday' after a few characters it would autocomplete the whole word. I thought that's what choosing Word Suggestions would do but it doesn't seem to.
    Is this sort of feature available?

    Which Nokia phone will give me word suggestion? I don''t particularly want a very sophisticated phone with camera, internet etc. All I want is to speak and text, but with word suggestion, completing the words for me,  not only the basic predictive text. Can someone please suggest a phone that actually does that instead of only claiming to do it? (And what's the law on misleading claims? W.S. is listed in the functions!)

  • 7205 Intrigue (Verizon) Predictive Text Dictionary...

    This is the only downfall to this phone. I will be advising everyone I know as well as forum members that this phone is not for anyone who enjoys their texting to be more like they way in which they speak. The WORD (predictive text) dictionary on the phone doesnt save words and it is a pain in the butt to go in and save every single Quick Entry word you would like to use.
    I will most likely be retuning this for a Motorola or Samsung in the next 2 weeks if a software update is not provided to fix this issue.
    Any suggestions?
    -Paul 

    I concur with thegr8revealing.  The lack of a save function for predictive text is more than a slight annoyance.  I'm on day 3 with the phone and I continously run into words that are missing from the dictionary that I'm forced to enter in long-hand.  For me, it nearly defeats the purpose of the text message.  Which I try to use for quick and short communications.
    It baffels me that this feature was left out of the phone - it's so basic, but it greatly improve the experience of text messaging (something you may not appreciate unless you've experienced; it's trully frustrating!).
    Like thegr8revealing, I will likely return the phone unless this issue can be resolved.

  • Proper predictive text ... Not this auto correct bull !!!

    Is there ever going to be a proper version of predictive text for IOS? Android and RIM is MILES ahead with their predictive text technologies! There are some apps that can do some of it, but the intergration is POOR to say te least.
    iPhone is supposed to be the best smart phone available, yet you fail MISERABLY at the most basic function of any smart phone .... To comunicate witth the device and other people
    I am sure this question has been asked many times, but does anyone have any solid feedback with regards to this ?

    This is a user to user forum tech help forum. It doesn't have anything to do whether Apple cares or not. We are users like you.
    Post in the feedback area. I'm sure you are not the only one who has had the predictive text suggestion.

  • Disabling a Text Input created through the TEXT TOOL?

    Hi There,
    I have created a text input area. I havent used the flash
    text components. I used the TEXT TOOL. In the properties I set it
    to "input" type so that i could input data. All the features works
    fine except one. I have to disable the text area when user clicks a
    button. I dint get any help from the flash help.
    The main objective is that the text input area shouldnt take
    input from the user when the button is ON, once the button is off,
    the cursor should be at the point where the user left and he can
    type thru.
    Is this possible? I have achieved this functionality using
    the textarea component of Flash, but not using the input text area
    created using the TEXT TOOL.
    Can anyone help me.

    use the type property of textfields to change your textfield
    to "dynamic "when you want to disable input and assign it to
    "input" when you want to enable input.

  • C3-01 lost predictive texting

    I know the answer must be on here somewhere, but I'm blowed if can find it.
    I always use the predictive text but suddenly it's started generating rubbish, and I can't get it back.
    I tried switching off and on, removing and replacing battery, etc. Have debated re-installing factory settings but sounds a bit drastic after 15 months of use.
    Any suggestions welcome.

    During writing text check if the writing language is set as your language. If it is, then restoring the phone may be the only option.
    You may want to update the phone to new firmware. The changes mentioned in the link below-
    http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Cseries/C3-01-new-firmware-v7-51-released/m-p/1527160#M36199
    Connect your phone to a computer & select Nokia Suite mode. If you do not have Nokia Suite on your pc you can download it from here. Now open the Nokia Suite & click on the “green icon of arrow pointing downwards”.
    If any updates are available they will be shown in ‘green’. If not you may reinstall the current version. Reinstall option is shown in ‘blue’. If no option to reinstall is shown, please wait for sometime it will become visible.  Then the Nokia Suite will download the new software version of the phone. After it you will be prompted to take a complete back up of the device content. Please do not skip this step as reinstallation will erase all the personal data from the phone like contacts, messages, calendar entries etc.
    Please note that if you have set a memory card password & you have forgotten its code then take a backup of the card data also as the card will be locked after update and can only be unlocked if you enter the correct code or by ways mentioned in this thread.
    Also note that while updating the device ensure the following things-
    The device is full charged.
    The internet connection Is of good speed & has a backup in case of power loss.
    The PC should also be connected to back up power source as if the process is interrupted the phone may go dead. More on update failure & its remedies here.
    Please do not run any resource intensive programs in the background while updating as it may freeze the PC which in turn will lead to a dead device.
    Ignore all the windows pop-up notifications about device being disconnected.DO NOT DISCONNECT THE PHONE UNTIL UPDATE IS COMPLETED.
    It will be better if you disable security keyguard & PIN code request before proceeding with Update/Reinstallation.
    Sometimes the device may show Test Mode. Do not panic & DO NOT remove the cable. Let the process complete.
    Also check out this video on YouTube with instructions for update.
    If problem persists, please visit the nearest authorised Nokia Care Centre.
    Please mark the post as solution if it solves your problem.
