Typing SMS - autocorrection in nearly 80% wrong

Hi,
is there a possibility to disable the autocorrection. Now 2.1 is released and the autocorrection function is handled the same as before. This is ********, because I want an option to disable it, and to activly select a suggestion and not how the Iphone handles it, a suggestion which I must deselect.
Nearly all books and literature about how to design intuitive ui-interfaces says that such a functionalitity must be opt-in. So why Apple (which did a great job in designing ui-interface in the past) isn't able to implement the autocorrection in a way a user can use it?
I don't want to jailbreak my phone but at the moment it is the only way to disable the crappy autocorrection .
Cheers,
Michael

"Auto-correction is the most moronic "feature" of the iPhone."
It's funny that you should say that because I find it one of the smartest features! I know people who fight it as they type a word, expecting the correct 'option' to be available to them from the third (or second) letter onwards in 100% of cases and the instant they see the offered word is not the one they want (even though they haven't finished entering the complete word themselves) they panic and start correcting it themselves.......but the people I know (and myself) who carry on entering a word until they see the correct and complete option appear magically all love it! It's great too because very often if you accidentally touch an incorrect character on the keyboard and trust the auto-correction, then before you get to the end of the word the correct corrected option appears anyway! How smart is that?!!
Yes, to make the most of this facility it is necessary to trust it more than people tend to do with 'conventional' predictive typing and not to panic +as soon as+ an incorrect character is entered or an inappropriate option is offered, but trusting it more I find now that I have to enter fewer actual characters to type almost anything completely correctly than on any other device (especially mobile) that I have ever known!
I love it!!

I asked my nephew and he said "what r they talking about, I have no block"  Can anyone help ME PLZ.

    When you go to Settings > WiFi and see your network name does it have a padlock icon to the right of the network name? If so it is a secured network with a password.
    How did you connect to your network from the iPad? From Settings > Wifi? Was a network password requested? Was it accepted?
    If you touch the ">" to the right of your network name what do you see for IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, and DNS?

    You can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device.  If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match. 
    Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy.

  • No way to scroll a partly typed SMS message on Nok...

    One can scroll them after they are sent, etc, but once one gets past about 7 lines of typing, there is no way to review/edit the whole message. Finger scrolling does not work - one just gets the cut/copy menu popping up.
    Is there a better SMS app which integrates fully into the phone?

  • Interrupted by autofill while typing sms (after update to iOS 5.1)

    I noticed a problem on iPhone 3GS after update to iOS 5.1
    While writing an sms, the autofill interrups the writing with a small microbreak, causing loss of characters if you type fast enough.
    Very annoying and causes alot of erasing and retypes.
    Does not seem to be a problem on iPhone 4S though..
    Anyone else having these problems?

    Just a quick update on my issue... which seems different than most.  To summarize, I tried updating from iTunes 10.6 directedly via USB.  Got an empty progress bar when it "rebooted" after "successfully updating" to 5.1 with a memory allocation bar on itunes showing most the memory as allocated to "other", instead of the usual memory allocation to apps, music, pcits, etc.  Rebooted the phone, but still came up with an empty progress bar, but would connect to itunes.. showing booted as 5.1, but again the memory was still allocated to "other".  Started recovery process on itunes to try to bring back my old config, after which the iphone fully booted (into 5.1), but was completely.... recovered and re-installed all my apps, music, etc without a hitch and rebooted successfully, this time the memory allocation was correctly labeled, but somewhere I gained 2.0 GB of memory, even with all the same apps and music installed.  I had to do some minor additional configurations (password lock had to be re-enabled), but otherwise, everything was working.  A bunch of apps lost their stored settings... which I though strange as I expected the "backups" to store those settings as well.   Otherwise, running 5.1 now without issues... seems much snappier than 5.0.1... but the process was nerve racking to say the least.
    Best of luck with other "explorers" tyring to make the whole process work.

  • HT4157 I'm trying to add this iPad to an existing AT&T account. I try to type in pass code, then go to the SSN & it deletes the pass code I just typed. What am I doing wrong

    I need help adding this iPad to a already existing AT&T account.
    I go to type in my pass code for AT&T then my SSN & it then deletes my pass code ... Won't let me add it

    I have the same issue. 
    For those that that have responded to your question and don't know, you can now add your iPad to your existing AT&T data plan if you have the shared family data plan.  It's cheaper since it's only $10/month to add the device to share your data plan vice paying somthing like $30/month for 3GB (or whatever level you need).
    I was told by an AT&T employee that there are several ways to accomplish this.
    1. Call AT&T
    2. Do it online at ATT.com (I tried this but their website is down for maintenance)
    3. Do it on the iPad (which is what you and I are trying to do).
    I have no idea why after entering the passcode and then trying to enter the last 4 of your SSN that the passcode disappears.  Or conversely, if you enter the last 4 of your SSN, then go to the passcode field, that the SSN disappears.  So when you try to continue you get the please enter valid data message.  Seems like a bug in the system.

  • My iPad is displaying iPad disabled because my 9 year old added icloud and he kept typing in a password that was wrong and he disabled the ipad. I do know the password but the screen to enter my password doesn't come up only the ipad disabled message.

    My 9 year old son added icloud to my ipad and he was asked to enter a password so he kept trying to enter passwords thinking he could. Unfortunately it was my password that was required and I know it. Now the iPad is saying it is disabled. Nothing else comes on. I can turn it off and on but it doesn't prompt me to enter my password. HELP

    The only way to get everything back is by restoring a backup. If you didn't have a backup, there is nothing that you can do to recover your lost documents and your notes. If you have a backup restore the backup in order to recover your data. Purchased apps can always be downloaded again as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought them with, but data can only be recovered from a backup or if you have copies of the documents and notes on a computer.

  • Wrong character count in SMS

    When I compose a new SMS, the character count is wrong, because special characters take more space than normal ones.
    As an example, if a regular SMS takes 160 characters, if I use special characters such as á, é, €… the same SMS will take more characters and therefore they will bill me for 2 SMS, or more instead of one.
    Sorry for my poor English but it is not my mother tongue

    I see this is by design, but there is a difference in the bill, if I send 30 or 60 SMS because I send special characters. I know the quick solution is to avoid sending this characters, but the application should be smart enough to count the characters I'm being billed as this is all the purpose of character counting in my humble opinion.
    So, iPhone is doing it right counting 7-bit characters, but not OK counting the "real characters I'm paying for" which is more important to me. I guess no one cares about how many characters takes to say something just for the quantity's sake unless they are using Twitter I hope my explanation was quite clear!
    This should be a bug, not a feature, in my very humble opinion

  • Send SMS after wrong password

    Hello,
    We want to send SMS to user when a wrong password entered via OWA. Is it possible? 
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Agree with Andy. I'm afraid we can't configure it to send SMS to user automatically when users enter a wrong password in OWA.

  • How to get email and sms alerts in 9i

    Hi,
    I want to know that is there any method in 9i by which we may get mail and sms alerts whenever anything goes wrong with the database?
    Thanx

    Why pay for something if you already have it, included in your license?
    Only because you have to read documentation to use it?
    Oracle will sooner or later include functionality in their monitoring products, they don't include in the RDBMS. In 10g you already rather use the controls than call the PL/SQL Apis directly.
    Apart from that: the third party products you seem to promote, usually implement very limited functionality.
