I have enabled the suggest words and set it at 4 via the registry with the changes in this, and other threads. This works great but I am missing something.
On my old Kaiser it would learn words that were used all the time. I have yet to see my TP2 suggest a word that does not seem to be in its dictionary.
Is it possible to enable it to learn frequently used words or add them to the dictionary as you can on your PC? It also does not autocorrect the small case i to I or add the apostrophe to contractions such as didn't.
Not earth shaking but pesky none the less.
Tried searching, no hits came up so:
how does one get all the symbols from a regular keyboard mapped?
Like <>\~`[] which are sorely missing.
I agree. I have been looking for the old symbols, too. I take a lot of meeting notes where paragraphs are used from articles, and really liked the paragraph symbol, and now don't have it. Would really like something if it could be found.
I've never tried to map symbols with this, but you might be able to. Try tarkim's key remapper.
We can easily add custom words in the T9 User Dictionary but there is no way to edit/delete them. Since English is not my main language, I have added lots of words already but some of them are wrong and I want to remove/edit them.
The three files can be found via sTune. Browser | User | T9udb | (xt9asdb.dat, xt9cdb.dat and xt9udb.dat)
If it is too much trouble to code a utility, maybe share some information on how the dictionary is structured so we can hex edit the mistakes out.
Thanks!
yeah...this would be really helpful....
Yes it would be very usefull also for backup before an hard reset!
Turns out that you don't need the T9 dictionary editor.
You just leave the wrong words in the dictionary and it will eventually get overwritten when you add more word.
If the wrong word is constantly appearing in the suggestion bar and is taking over a particular word like in my case the word "kay" ("because" in our dialect) and the phone always suggest "Kay" (name of person). All you have to do is enter "kay" several times and select the lower case "kay" until such time that it will be the default suggestion.
I wish they had this documented. I would have saved me needless frustration.
^ Nice find....
Ok, so I've searched the forums, and I've pretty much googled a lot of other sites, with no luck.
First, let me start of with the reason why; I want to remove a word from the original dictionary:
So I live in Norway, and the word for "you" is "du."
Since I use the trace option (swype) on the original keyboard,
I get either "DDI", or "di" which neither are words used in Norway.
I've understood that DDI is an abbreviation.
However, that doesn't change the fact that it's a pain,
that it next to always prioritizes those in front of "du,"
even when they keyboard is set to Norwegian.
Also I've checked my personal dictionary as well,
it isn't there. Also not to mention it's been there from the start....
So any tips on how to remove ONE and ONE word from the original dictionary?
Because I want to keep my personal dictionary, as I've used quite a bit time to add the words.
(I know I can back it up, but what does it help to remove the words and add them again if it's the wrong words?)
I am pretty sure I haven't lost it and my memory is tricking me, but before some update or another if you were entering text in almost any app (SMS most notably) and got to the end of the piece of text and saw that word correction had put in a word you didn't want you could click on the word and the word prediction list would appear again and a simple click to change to another word???
I am not 100% sure when this functionality disappeared, must be at least 6 months ago. I thought it was just some glitch and was expecting it to return when resetting. Just did a reset (Android 5.0.1) and still nothing happens.
Drives me crazy, have to place the cursor after the word, delete it and re-type. It was so sweet before.
Please let me know if I am wrong - and if not is there any way to get this functionality back.

Try this! open messages, new message, to the left of the space bar hold comma, go to advanced and tick word prediction and next word prediction!

Appreciate your help. I think I have tried turning on and off every setting I can find related to word prediction/correction. nothing seems to help.
So do you have a M8 with 5.0.1 that does as I describe? I would really like to know if it is just my phone. Fixing it if it is must then be possible. If I imagined it, well then I can forget about it and seek other help

Hi, julesgilson...
My M8 is currently running Android 5.0.1/Sense 6, and although I don't use the stock HTC Sense keyboard, preferring instead to use Fleksy, I have noticed this annoying peculiarity with the Sense keyboard myself.
Here are some further observations...
With the stock Sense keyboard, a word is only correctable (with selectable alternatives) only as long as the word being typed remains HIGHLIGHTED. As soon as you hit the space bar, with the intention to type the next word, the HIGHLIGHT is gone, and the original word can no longer be corrected or alternatives suggested.
The HIGHLIGHT then shifts to the next word being typed, and with possible corrections and alternative suggestions for this new word.
Tracking back over a given paragraph (or even to just the last word) and manually highlighting a previously typed word, doesn't, as you might expect, provide any alternatives or spelling corrections.
-----
This behaviour is entirely at odds with 3rd party keyboards like SwiftKey, Swype and even Googles own keyboard, where ANY word in a given paragraph can be selected and corrections/alternatives suggested.
The stock Sense 6 keyboard under Lollipop 5.0.1 seems incapable of retrospectively correcting previously typed words!!!
I'm no programmer, but it seems to me, that the stock Sense keyboard is only capable of correcting a word while it remains in the 'buffer'... that is to say, while it's being typed and so long as it's highlighted.
The instant you move on to the next word (with the space bar), the word is 'forgotten' by the keyboard and can no longer be corrected or alternatives suggested.
-----
This sort of thing is difficult to describe, so I suggest you download Googles keyboard from PlayStore... type some random passage in Google Keep (or wherever) and then using Googles keyboard, randomly select a word in that passage and you will see that Googles keyboard correctly identifies the selected word, and suggests alternatives.
And then try the same experiment with the stock Sense keyboard...
Rgrds,
Ged.
Yes! That's exactly it - like you say pretty difficult to describe concisely. The strange thing is that it used to do it, possibly before Lollipop.
Now that someone else has confirmed it seems a general issue with the HTC keyboard I will give up trying to fix it and look for another keyboard.
Greatly appreciated.
