Searched, but found no anwer to this question so.....
Does anybody know how to edit the word substitution list for SMS texting on the TMO-US branded TP2? I had a cooked Touch Flo Rom on my Wing that handled it beautifully, but the stock substitution on the TP2 only seems to automatically capitalize the first word and is missing a few things that I really got used to:
* "i" by itself got capitalized (even in the middle of a sentence)
* "dont" got its apostrophe along with "didnt", "wouldnt", etc.
* I can't swear to it, but I even think it managed some other contractions like "You've" and "You'll"
TIA
its because word completion doesn't work. search for word completion & you'll find countless threads on how to enable it again. Warning though, it will disable the functionality of FN+SYM to get the symbol menu
All the threads I found are talking about a T9 word completion, which I don't really care to use. I'm looking for an auto-correct functiont that automatically replaces "misspelled" words like "dont" with the correct spelling ("don't") after you hit the space bar. I don't like word completion, per se. I just use the auto-correct as a short cut so I don't have to "Alt-K" to get an apostrophe. Has anybody worked on this, or have I missed the thread that discusses it by not searching the right terms?
[Edit]
This is for use with the hardware keyboard, BTW
[\Edit]
If you set up the word completion like it says & then use Advanced Config to set the number of suggestions to 0 then all that will work is the auto correction
@xnifex,
Thanks, I had decided to take the plunge and do the reg hack like it said, and discovered exactly what you said I'd find. Thanks for being patient with my stubbornosity. Still no fix for the [Alt + ,] for the symbols, then? Granted, it's pretty well worth the trade-off for me, since I rarely go into the symbols menu, but I hate knowing that something's "broken", even if I don't use it much.
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....
Just trying out the new keyboard and swype feature. Does it support multi finger swype? sort of like keymonk.
It seems to support it to some degree, but it's sketchy at best. Just curious what everyone else is experiencing.

not sure about the two finger swype but regular swiping is working much better for me than the latest official swype beta...

Interesting. I haven't used it long enough to compare it to swype. I stopped using swype though because I eventually got frustrated with it. Good to hear you find it better!
I'll keep playing with it.

Is there any way to turn this feature on, on any other keyboard than the US one? Im from Finland and id be very happy to be able to try this feature.
Not to sure to be honest. I guess Google isn't supporting other languages with their swype feature yet?

I'm using the swipe feature now, I love it. I could never get in to Swype, but I got into the feature with the 4.2 keyboard straight away

Is almost perfect, to not say perfect, because sure Google improves it more.
This is being written with the "swype" feature in my Galaxy Nexus. Too fast, and can be used with another languages. The system detects the route and compares it with the dictionary. Almost always it detect the right word. Sometimes (very few!) it detects another word, so click in the corrector and add the correct. If you enter some word with orthographic errors, it detects it and is introduced and corrected perfectly, like if you are using the normal keyboard. Is good also with punctuation and spaces.
Using it in vertical position and perfect, always I wrote in vertical in old keyboard I have lots of errors because my big fingers. Since I have installed Android 4.2, I don't needed to use the landscape mode, so I'm happy to see how I can write now at the speed of thunder and chat without getting angry
Thanks Google!

If the new keyboard keeps people from getting angry when they chat - it should be mandatory for XDA posters.
Frankly I hate it. It makes no sense in my mind to drag my finger over letter that I don't need for a word, yet through which I have to go in order to get to the next letter I need... I'd much rather type normally
I've got last update for my Galaxy Nexus and now I'm on 4.2, i cant find anywhere Swype keyboard ..its on English (U.S.A) keyboard
Why?
It's just called android keyboard, that now allows swiping. Swype is a third party keyboard you really don't need anymore.

I'm way faster on Swype. I hate trying to hit each key perfectly and and/or moving my hand to enter the suggested. But to each his own.
I have to try this new swipe since people seem to like it.

Did they add in any variety of custom dictionary sync? That's one thing I really like about the version of Swype I have now. I no longer need to re-teach the keyboard all the technical jargon every time I get a new device.
i got some issue with the newz android keyboard, sometimes the word are show twice
The personal dictionary allows you to add words directly (Skype doesn't), but I don't think it works. I added a few email addresses and typing the first 2-3 letters don't bring up the address. Swype had problems with words beginning with a number, so does android. I find android just as accurate. I like having a "." on the numeric keyboard that's not on Swype.

I like it...
never used Swype before because it seemed a bit counter-intuitive, but really like it on the nexus 7 (possibly because typing is a pain normally)
I can see why some people will hate it, mind - some people hate predictive text for similar reasons.
I spent some time with swipe. It's pretty accurate but just feels clunky in places. What I really missed though was the shortcuts that Swype has like swiping from the Swype key to the 5 key to bring up a number pad and swiping from the Swype key to the shift key to change case. And I don't like having to change keyboards to enter numbers. I like the convention of a long hold to get numbers and common punctuation like in Swype.

My version of Swype has a '.' on the numberpad. Are you actually referring to the number pad (accessed by swyping from the Swype key to the #5 or long pressing on the "123" key) or the symbol/number keyboard accessed by quick pressing on the "123" key?
Swype also lets you add to the dictionary--it just does it whenever you key in a new word, as opposed to having you specifically go through the hassle of adding words to the dictionary. That's why I was impressed with the versions of Swype that sync online--so I don't need to re-teach it words I've already taught it on other devices.

Ahhh forgot about the actual numpad. I always found it easier to press the 123 key, and don't think there's a "." there.
The android keypad lets you add words as you're typing too, I just find the "+" in the dictionary more convenient (at least on initial set-up). I also like the nicknames you can add to the personal dictionary, for "words" that Swype doesn't recognize (or suggest)... Like I have "[email protected]" as an email, if it's in Swype dictionary it won't come up as a suggestion, but in android, set a nickname like "mrk" or anything you want, and the suggestion will pop up.
I have nothing against Swype, used it for a year, I just find "little" things about android I like better. I don't type a lot, so may not know all the secrets to Swype (or Android). I do like the new Swype theme options!

Maybe I am missing something but I can't get the autocorrect feature on any of my keyboards (including Swiftkey) to work inside S-Notes.
Did Samsung design this to actually disable any autocorrect on any keyboard? Why would they do that?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
Wow, 149 views and no one has any idea?
Is it actually possible that Samsung has intentionally disabled autocorrect by ANY keyboard in S-Notes? I love Samsung hardware but on the software side they continually make choices which confound. It's not that they write bad software. It's that they seem to PURPOSEFULLY make choices which harm the user. For instance, how hard would it be to give users the ability to create and save their own templates? How about typing styles? It would be incredibly simple yet they choose not to.
I am beginning to think Samsung hired the same guy who decided getting rid of the Start Button in Windows 8 was a brilliant idea to run their software development as well.
** Or it could be that Samsung's idea of "Customer Feedback" is an utterly lame Facebook page that looks like it is manned by high school students? They don't even have Forums for God's sake! S-Notes could have been a OneNote killer yet they just sort of said, "Nah, let's make it suck instead..."
Frustrated. S-Notes has been out for a while now and apparently they have no intention of improving it.
I never looked into it because I don't like autuocorrect. But I would checked either in the keyboard or language settings. It's probably something you just need to turn on.
I guess I'm not understanding exactly what you want. I use the stock Samsung keyboard and the Kii keyboard from the play store and they both have the suggested words pop up and try to correct my spelling when I either type things out using the keyboard or use the s pen in handwriting mode using the s note app. I'm on stock deodexed MA7. What are you wanting it to do?
he wants autocorrect where it automatically makes corrections even if he doesn't use the suggested words.
Same here!... I thought Swiftkey would mend this problem, but it DIDN'T !!!!
So only in S-Note even Swiftkey refuses to give suggestions and/ or autocorrection.
I'm really angry, 'cause I sort of planned on using it.
But since it already got on my nerves, that I constantly had to change from drawing mode to keyboard input whenever I opened a note, although the pen was not drawn(!), it's probably time to look into another app.
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?)
