Limited predictive text experience

Hi, 
I bought my Z3 yesterday and am having an interesting predictive text experience when messaging. I have the language set to English (Australia), but when I type, the predictive text inserts only words which I have used on my phone in the past (past 24 hours). For example, if I type 'How', It auto corrects to 'Think' as this is a word I've used. 
I can't imagine this is supposed to happen, that the phone needs to learn all my words before I can use them? I also don't want to disable my predictive text, I just want it to recognise all English words when correcting! I'm sure I've missed something in setting up  - please help.
Jess

  • 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.

  • 6300 predicted text starts to forget saved words

    Hi there
    I've been using my 6300 for about a year now and I absolutely love this phone!
    However, I believe it is starting to grow old and forget the older words I enter into the predicted text.
    Is this a known issue?
    I have tried searching the forums using advanced search with the terms.
    "all of these words": predicted text 6300
    "at least one of these words": spell
    and "all forums"
    what I have done while composing a message is:
    1. with predicted text enabled, type in my surname 'nguyen'
    2. it will show "mit?"
    3. I select the "Spell" option and enter in "Nguyen"
    4. Press save
    5. Finish typing the message and send.
    The word will remain available again, but I am sure that it has erased another word I have entered.
    If there is a software limitation to the number of words I can save, then I am ok with that, as long as I know my phone is not faulty.

    There is likely to be a limit to the number of words you can add (due to the memory size), but I don't know if it starts to overwrite old entries or just stops saving new words. If the former is the case, that would be the answer.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Limiting the Text Size in CRM 5.0 IC Web Client

    Hello Experts,
    We have a scenario where in we can enter the text for a CRM Document (say Service document) in the text field of IC Web Client. We have noticed that we are even allowed to enter the text of size around 73 MB also (which comes into 1000s of Word Documents).
    We have now have a requirement for limiting this text as it is causing some problems and somehow affecting system performance.
    Could anyone help me in limitating the text size in CRM 5.0 IC Web Client. I mean whether there is any configuration setting for doing the same or we need to do it in any text determination Procedure. Thanks in anticipation for your response.
    Best Regards,
    Kishore K

    Kishore,
    Use below code to determine no of characters typed in FoUpText.htm:
    data: col_wrap type ref to cl_bsp_wd_collection_wrapper,
          lr_entity type ref to if_bol_bo_property_access,
          lv_str type string,
          lv_len type i.
          col_wrap = typed_context->BTTEXT->get_collection_wrapper( ).
          lr_entity ?= col_wrap->get_current( ).
          lv_str =  lr_entity->get_property_as_string('CONC_LINES').
          lv_len = strlen( lv_str ).
    Place this code in controller FoUpText.do anywhere accordingly
    Cheers,

  • 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 in Numbers 3.0 with Mavericks 10.9???

    Ugh.  I'm not loving this revamped app at all.  Seems as though it's been "dumbed" down.
    I can't figure out how to enable the predictive text inside the spreadsheet now.
    Also, when saving, it defaults to 125% and also to the top of my spreadsheets.  A lot of my spreadsheets are very long, which requires having to pull down to the bottom every time I open them, in addition to changing to 100%.
    Anybody else having issues like this?

    And, meanwhile, you can use Pop-up Menu in many situations where you've been using autocompletion in columns:
    Select the column, and format the cells in the column as Pop-Up Menu:
    If you've selected the whole column before formatting as Pop-up, your existing values in that column will pre-populate a menu automatically:
    Then you remove the values you don't want in the list, such as the column header (and possibly some previous spelling errors too!):
    And after this easy one-time setup all you have to do thereafter is to choose from the pop-up list when you add rows:
    There's no keyboard shortcut to activate the menu such as they had in the old Numbers (hope they'll add one). But the Pop-Up Menu approach has some advantages over autocompletion: no spelling errors or lack of capitalization when there should be capitalization, etc. 
    And should you ever want to take your Numbers with you, in a touch interface pop-ups are much more efficient than typing the first few letters of items.

  • 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.

  • How can i set predictive text to a foreign language

    I'm new to apple and iPhones. I've got everything setup in English but I frequently want to send text and/or email messages in French. When I do this predictive text jumps in and changes things to what it thinks I want in English. e.g. if I type tous it predicts I want toys and inserts it accordingly. How can I set predictive text to a foreign language.
    (p.s. my wife's iPad works fine as it has a button to press for alternative language but I don't see anything similar for iPhone)

    Add the French keyboard.

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

    Hi, All the phones I have used up to now & the Predictive text, once you type the 1st 2 or 3 letters the phone would predict & give you a choice of possiable words and then u confirm which one.
    I just got a N95 and have turned on the predictive text, when I start to type a word and the 1st letter, it comes up with a word starting with a compleatly different 1st letter !!! Maybe I dont know how to use this system, can anybody please shine some light on this matter
    Thanks

  • My young kids have ipads and since I updated the software, but they have their own icloud account, predictive text within their messages shows all my contacts from my iphone but the contacts are not listed as their contacts, how do I stop this?

    My young kids have ipads and since I updated the software, but they have their own icloud account, predictive text within their messages shows all my contacts from my iphone but the contacts are not listed as their contacts, how do I stop this?

    I have deleted the iCloud account under my name on their iPads and replaced with their ones. Apple support said yesterday I needed to click the small 'I' by each name as it came up in the TO box and remove it. After doing rid for each contact under each letter of the alphabet it should remove them from latest contacts. Having done this, although I could not remove groups I had sent, I am not convinced they will not return once I have written a few texts, any ideas?

  • 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!)
