Hello,
first of all, i want to thank you all for awesome community here at XDA-Developers. This forum has been a huge help to me, while searching solutions of any kind of problems concerning my HTC, or just wanting to have some updates. So thank you very much!
To the topic:
I upgraded today to WM6.1 from HTC online. Everything went well and i faced no problems with installing, but now after 5 hours of use, i faced a first bug/problem.
on WM6.1 there's this fancy way of seeing the SMS sender/message history when opening a received SMS. It is possible to answer to the SMS directly from here just to type your message to the same screen and pressing "send". This is very handy, when changing more than a couple of messages with the receiver. Man can always check easily, what the content of the latest message, or a few ones before that really was.
however, this text "form" where to type has suddenly decreased it's size, so that it is not possible to write more that one line to the reply (which is somewhat around 50 digits).. or actually, it is possible to write more, but there's no use, since all you can preview of your text, is this one line..
There is one "fast solution" for this, a reboot and the problem is gone.. however, this is really aggravating and i was wondering, if anyone has a solution for this..?
Experiences? Any help?

EDIT: Mod, feel free to move, if you experience this more of a General -kinda discussion.
I'm experiencing the exact same problem. Any suggestions how to solve that?
I also noticed that predictive text is not working anymore.
Thanks

Try this [SOLUTION] Thread SMS Input Space you can also disable threaded mode and go back to the old way of using SMS by disabling the feature Disable SMS Text Message Threading or Conversation Mode in Windows Mobile 6.1

Hi, I have got a UK Touch Pro 2 branded Vodafone but it has the latest standard HTC WM 6.5 ROM installed (after Hard SPL).
I have installed TomTom and fixed the BTTrayCE error that created and also patched the clock which annoyingly wants to always show a time 1 hour and 2 mins behind, before flipping down like a 70s alarm clock to the correct time. I’m sure the programmer thought this was fantastic, but it’s just annoying and pointless! (/rant).
My problem is that I can’t find the spell checker. On my older XDA phones and my Touch Pro 1, in text messaging after typing a message, I just did Menu --> Spell check. It even allowed me to add words which it stored in the custom.dic file which I have been carrying from device to device as I upgraded phones.
However, even using the ‘proper’ text messing in Messages-->All Messages --> new message, when I click on the menu button all I get is “Add Recipient, Insert >, Quick Text, Save as Draft and Discard”. There is no spell check option!
The Vodaphone ROM which was slow and full of bloatware and incorrect settings for my network did have a spell check under menu – as did all the previous versions of WM.
I have tried enabling the XT9 feature and it does the XT9 thing of suggesting words and selecting them when you press space. This is quite rubbish for two reasons, it doesn’t auto correct i to I and you have to watch each word carefully, because if you type “hell” it might autocorrect it to “he’ll” depending on what you last chose. This results in having to go back and change about 5 - 10% of words, which is really annoying.
I have fiddled with the XT9 settings under Start/settings/all settings/personal/input/options and the only selectable input method is “Touch Input” although the hardware keyboard works and the options don’t seem to make much of a difference.
I have been searching for 4 hours now and hope that you might be able to help, please!!
Does anyone have a similar problem? Does anyone know if the standard HTC ROM should have a spell checker or not?
How you all finding this?
It can dictate a text no problem, but doesn't seem to pick up the TO: field for me.
So if I say "send text to bob how are you" it will fill in "2 bob how are you" in the message field and leave the TO field empty. how are you getting on? It's still pretty cool. And you can say things like "call 08665242424" and it gets that perfect. Although when I say "call Joe" it just won't find the appropriate entry on my SIM card.
hey,
So far with the actions, i had a little bit of troubling getting it to call my contacts e.g. "call Paul C" an it suggests everyone else in my list with the surname C except "Paul C" also the text thing doesnt seem to work at all, but i have found it's very good at web searching and also when you have already entered the texting menu, i think once it gets the support for different countries it will be really good and fun to use.
At the minute its more of a novelty, but it could become very very useful.
We had a lot of fun earlier as what I said and what the phone thought I said was so different!
e.g.
Send a text to Teresa to say hello
=
Send a text recycle au
I did manage to get the thing to give me directions to Skegness (although I was trying to call somebody at the time).
Maybe I need to lay on an american accent and try again
But... But... But... It worked so well in the little video!
Very hit and miss for me. If it works, it works spot on 100% and great. If it fails, it fails epically.
Same here. If it works, it works, if not, well I just hope I'm not showing it off to a friend as it can make an ass of itself.
The text action? Doesn't work for me at all. Neither does setting an alarm. Getting directions is perhaps the most reliable voice action of all. Calling people is hit and miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just doesn't complete the action. I'll say, "Call Claire XYZ Mobile", and it displays a list of 'did you mean?' options. The top one is usually right, but when I click it it Googles it as a search term!
The Alarm is still in development
the fact it requires a data connection means its learning as it goes. Recording 10000s of new words per day and linking them based by region. In time it should be able to learn words with accents etc so well that its hard to fool.
at the moment it is certainly more novelty than technological wow. but.. I think it will get there. I wish you could "teach it" by sampling your address book. I mean you click on a contacts name and then say it 5 times and the google learns how this name is pronounced in your region. then it recognizes it next time. I think they'll get there. this is a good start.
If it learns as it goes, then all those who set theory phone to US English may not be helping out develop the software for their own language if each voice request is sent out with a language tag from the phone.

How do I know what version of "voice search" I have?
I used the QR code from the google blog and and doesn't recognize some of them.
For example, it will recognize "note to self I am cool" but it will ask to do a search instead of noting to self.
It picks up very few words I say correctly. Usually "call" it always gets correct. Brilliant concept but not very practical for the masses yet.

I've found this terrible so far, 0% success rate! Even speaking in most clearest English with no background noise.
Maybe you have more success with an American accent??
But the odd thing is that the previous "search by voice" and technologies such as Translate both recognise voice really really well.
As with most of you, no success at all.. another interesting thing is set it to US English and hold it up to your speakers and play the guy from the Youtube video talking and it fails to get correct anything he says as well so I would like to know how they got 100% success rate in the video.
I have had limited success with it set to US english, one big problem is the "listen to" command, it insists that I need to install a music player, I have spotify installed (which is on the approved list) but voice action does not appear to recognise that it is there.

It is looking for the nearest psychiatrist, as it has deduced you are in urgent need thereof
Like the previous voice to text, it mainly accepts US english inflection, for the moment being.
However in my fake mafioso-US-english accent I could manage to type some emails, but I couldn't, for the hell of it, make it recognize the 'to' field most of the times. I think you really have to speak it all together "send email (no pause) to xyz (pause) how are you ?"
Too many "SERVER PROBLEM" .... not good.
OK, I've figured it out. It works and works just as accurate as in the Google vid. You just have to speak at your normal pace and the phone no more than around 6 inches away.
I can use US and UK accents to get it working. I've moved around enough to know them well.

Hi all,
I love my Desire, but one little thing keeps niggling me -
when you press the search button, and enter some text into it, you have to get every letter exactly right, whereas on almost every other text box, you get the pop up suggestions, and it auto-corrects typos and chooses the most likely word.
It also seems to not autocorrect on google.com search (on the web) either, whilst it does in multiline text boxes (like when you're posting on the forum here).
Is there any way to turn proper typing on for the search field, it is dead annoying.
I can cope with it being a hack to fix this - I've got a rooted desire (running Froyo/Modaco at the moment), and I don't mind fiddling around in code / repacking apk files or whatever if I have to.

Hey everyone!
I've now had my Note 7 since launch on the 19th. Its a fairly fantastic phone so far. With a few software issues. I kinda knew there were going to be issues like this, which is why I disallowed the OS upgrade on my S5.
So here it is. It seems that Samsung has decided they are the end all, be all for the voice input on the phone. You can still use Google search for strictly Google functions. I.e. "Okay Google" search bar and internet search functions. However, now it seems that you MUST use the S Voice input for the keyboard accessible voice input. Not a problem you say?
Well for someone like me, it becomes a major problem when Samsung has decided that using curse words isn't allowed. And there seems to be no setting to allow curse words in this new release from Samsung. I am not going to lie, I curse a lot in text messages and this makes the speech to text function almost completely unusable for me. (Maybe not for you, but it does for me.)
I have searched everywhere and can NOT find a way to disable this childish censorship implemented by Samsung. (Apparently swearing is a "no no" and we are not allowed to say "no no"s on our Samsung devices?)
I have attached screenshots of things I have already tried. I am open to any more actually useful suggestions by those who are providing more than just upping their post count. If no one can find a solution for this, then at least there is a place on the internet that others can come to see they are not alone in this software nightmare and maybe, just maybe Samsung will notice?
I greatly thank everyone for your time on this!
