Turn off Auto-Correct? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Peeps,
I would just like to find out how you turn off the Auto-Correct feature on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc.
I've upgraded the ROM to ICS 4.0.4 (official Sony ROM). I have set the auto-correct options ("text-input settings") to off for EVERYTHING. But when I use the landscape keyboard (QWERTY) then it still auto-corrects. How do you turn it off!? I'm mainly using the phone-pad feature but sometimes I have to write a long e-mail so instead I use the landscape keyboard to input my text.
On the attached screenshots you'll see what I mean as well as how the text-input settings are configured. I have worked through every possible menu through the phone to try and switch it off but I can't get it off. Is this a bug or what?

It's on the second screenshot: Word suggestions.

no, that's working fine here.
For me, the vibrations are dead.
I set the "Vibrate" option to always and activated the haptic feedback, but nevertheless, it's not working anymore...

If you have flashed DoomKernel then it won't Vibrate it a reported issue with that kernel.
How about small contact pictures when sync with google? It was the worst thing in previous fw, i hate it! When i set picture to contact, after sync with google that pix became small Maybe this terrible bug fixed in new fw?
To see big pix when contact calling me is very important for me...

No, it can't be because there is a setting for Mobile Bravia engine in that screenshot.
I, too, want to know how to get Automatic Brightness.

The good news is you can deactivate Facebook inside Xperia after this update (in Settings - Sony Ericsson).
another firmware comes out soon, because it is full of bugs!

Didn't find a bug yet btw...

Vibration for notifications

I searched and could not find anything regarding changing the vibration pattern for an all stock note 2. Mine will only vibrate in a single long pattern, no matter what I set it to in the settings. I like to use the stock messaging because it's compatibility with the lock screen but I'd really like it to vibrate in a couple short pulses instead of that single long one. If I'm missing something I apologize but I have no idea what to change aside from the options in the settings menu. Any help or other information would be much appreciated, I'm sure it's something silly I'm missing anyway!
Go to settings- sounds-device vibration u can chabge it to a few different patterns

Same problem for me, and it's super frustrating. Is this specific to the AT&T version I wonder??

I am not sure! That is how the note 1 default notification vibrate was, the single long pulse. The sms mms one was a quick twin pulse, I'd prefer that! I like how the sms app works with the tw lock screen and launcher etc so I don't want to use another one if I can avoid it. I wish it would allow me to use a different vibration setting because my phone is silent a lot! I asked samsung and they gave me the ringtone answer. The service from the online chat is weak.

Awesome. Thanks for the info. I downloaded the app and tried to set it up but it wanted to stop air view in the process. A related application was there

Which worked perfectly. Thanks foe the heads up, much appreciated.

Stock keyboard doesn't have auto-correct, I guess you're using a mod like the one by Arsaw (from the apps and themes section or integrated by your rom cook). If so the only way to turn auto-correct off is to turn Predictive Input off or flash stock keybord. But if you want to keep using it and just skip the suggestions for some words you have to tape the word you're writing so it loses the underline and won't get replaced.

[Q] Split keyboard in landscape?

I have not been able to make the LG keyboard use the split feature in landscape. I have it checked in the settings but nothing changes. I have also unchecked one handed use, although I would like to use them simultaneously. What am I doing wrong here?

You're using the LG Keyboard as your entry method? I had to disable the Path keyboard feature to split the keyboard.

Didn't think about that. Just tried it and I still don't get the split keyboard. Im going to reset the phone and see if that works.
Edit: Never mind, you then have to drag the keyboard to the sides. Thanks, that worked.
