HT201287 Predictive text gives odd suggestions

i am struggling with predicti text. The recent updates seem to have messed it up and it changes the word I want.  the latest one was I correctly spelt 'fringe' and pressed return.  When I looked at the Calendar entry it said 'grange' why?  This seems to be haa more and more recently!
any suggestions? Thanks

I ended up buying Thumb Keyboard.  It is amazing, thank you!

  • 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!)

  • 6303 predictive text 2-letter-words give numbers

    Hi,
    Using a 6303 classic, in text messaging, pressing 2 then 3 gives "23" instead of the word "be".
    The problem is mostly with 2-letter-words - "of", "on", etc.
    It used to work fine in the past.
    I thought maybe the number-words had been added to its dictionary, but can't find any way to remove them.
    Longer words work fine.
    I've changed the suggestion "23" to "be" many many times, but it still keeps offering the default match of "23".

    Hi alata
    Select the "pencil" button, scroll down to Predictive Text > "Matches" and then the list becomes available.
    Star key(*)bottom left on pad will change words. Keep pressing until your happy with the word or you will be asked to spell it.

  • Suggestions - predictive text and text entry

    I don't know if this forum is intended for suggestions but here are a couple anyway.
    1. Because email and sms text do not operate in landscape mode the keyboard is very small. This leads to a large number of text entry errors compared to ther devices I have used. The screen sensitivity is excellent so this is ont a problem with using a touch device. Allowing landscape data entry would go a long wawy to solving this problem - the keyboard when used with safari in landscape mode is a lot better (perhaps 10% of the missed keys). An alternative which would be better for single handed use would be to ditch the qwerty layout and have a key pad that runs to 4 or 5 rows of keys instead of 3. In most cases it is only neccesary to see a single line of text entry so there is plenty of screen re-estate to do this.
    2. The predictive text feature on the iPhone is very poor. This is due to a fundamental error in its design. The current implementation assumes that the current word typed is complete but may be misspelled. To be more useful the feature needs to assume that the characters typed are correct and suggest complete words that start with the fragment available. The predictive text in Windows mobile is infinately better that that of the iPhone (and one of the few features I miss from my old phone!).
    If this is the wrong place for posting these suggestion - sorry

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Is there a way to add/delete words from the predictive text ?

    Is there a way to add/delete words from the predictive text options that my iPhone is giving me? I'm using an iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.
    There are specific words that are popping up in the area right above the keyboard where it displays 3 word suggestions to choose from. This area seems to suggest words that I have typed before, I'd like to remove these words. Default seems to select the word in the center and when I'm typing fast on occasion it will recommend and select words that I don't need to use.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    is there a way to add delete into 9i MERGE? or somehow encapsulate it?
    Thank youI would suggest upgrading to a supported version of the database. 9i has been unsupported for many many years now.
    And to answer your question... to the best of my knowledge, there is no workaround. It works as it works.

  • 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.

  • Predictive text on N95- Do u know how to use it?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • N73 English Predictive Text

    Hey guys,
    I seem to be having problems getting english predictive text to work. Chinese seems to work fine but when I switch to english all I get is nonsense suggestions. I don't even get a drop down of suggested words it just automatically puts in the suggested nonsense for me. Adding words to the dictionary doesn't seem to take either. For example I'll hit the number 2 on my phone for the letter b but the phone will first put the letter a (which is correct) but then when I hit 2 again it will automatically put in "cc" instead of going to the letter b. It's really frustrating me and I've come to love nokia predictive text until now. Please help.
    PS: I did buy the phone in asia if that makes any difference and everything else in the phone is in english menu but predictive text is acting really wonky! I'm at my wits end on this. Please, please someone help.
    TIA

    Hi
    Select the predictive text to OFF and then it will no annoy you.
    Select: MEENU>TOOLS>PHONE>GENERAL> THERE YOU WILL FIND PREDICTIVE TEXT> HERE YOU SELECT *OFF*
    It will work properly then.No more annoying auto selection of texts.
    Cheers

  • 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.

  • 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.
