I want a phonepad t9 4x3 style keyboard that has t9 auto correct. Apparently samsung doesn't want this for me. Whenever I type a word, the mess of letters that I entered on the keypad are the default option, and for EVERY WORD i have to click the correct word next to it. Even if it's just "you" or there". I was reading online and a lot of other people are experiencing this too. Does anyone know how to fix this? I've hard reset it a few times to no avail.
This is my default option as it comes up, highlighting the mess of letters instead of to the right like it should. I watched a video on youtube and the guy was showing how it types and it was defaulting to the right, but mine isn't. It makes no sense.
and yes, we're talking about toilet paper haha
alright so I tried to use system app remover to uninstall the keyboard and reinstall it, but when I restore it from a backup, it doesn't do anything. I even put it in the apps folder by hand and its not reinstalling. I think that my backup is corrupted. does anyone have a copy of it that they can throw up here, or tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Hi
at the beginning I want to thank everyone for such great site and their contributions, specially to user jasjamming his Windows Mobile VI Pro - Black 3.0.1 of which I am proud user .
I have got these "problems":
- any time I want open any message (SMS, MMS, Mail) it's opened at the bottom . It's independent on the method of opening (by keys or stick)
- may be it properties of WM6, I don't know, but when I would like by key TAB switch from address line (TO, CC etc.) to message during writting new message (SMS, MMS mail etc), doesn't work. It just SHOW me bottom of message, but cursor stay at the same place. But from Subject to address line, it's working.
It is not anything very important to make HARD reset or reinstall ROM, I was just interested, if there is some setting in registers which was changed by some application or something else.
May be someone of you have similar experience.
Thank you for any response.
how about you search the thread that has all the info you need i know its long but you might learn something and fix your issues instead of us spoon feeding you
I think I read once that if you go to HTcustom, which should be on your device or it might me called pimp my black, you will need to deselect the "Navigate with D-pads" under pocket IE. I think that will stop your messages from opening at the bottoming.
Hi,
sorry for this new thread but finally the problem was with D-PAD settings. Thank you very much
thanks for the feed back this helped me also.

Is that how you became a senior member? By posting over 400 insults to noobs?
It's a forum to discuss stuff, no matter how many times it's been uttered to others... how many times has someone asked you 'hey how are you?' Do you reply 'someone else asked me that already, go away and find out the answer from them!'?
Politeness goes a long way... and it's only easy if you know the answer
Hi everyone!! I've tried to change my default browser on the TAB, but i can't.
Everytime i open it up the screen goes black, htc appears in the middle of the page and then it dissappear, leading me back to the tab; What can be done??
browser: Opera 9 Beta;
thanks!!
i' ve managed to modify the xlm file, setting Opera as default.
But it still doens't work, because i need to change OperaL file in Windows, and I cannot modify it, even with Total C.
HOW?? Read only, modify, i try again and it's still there!! still read only!! WHat can I do?? PLEASEE!! ):
I clicked on this thinking that someone was making a new browser tab available, because that's what the thread title suggests.
It turns out it's a question. There's actually a punctuation mark specifically for that. It looks like this: ? not this: !
I know this sounds pedantic, and I'll cop to that. My main point is that if you're asking for help linking an alternate browser to the existing tab, you're far better off actually asking that question.
If someone has the answer to your question but thinks you're announcing a "New Browser TAB!!" in which they have no interest, what's to keep them from just passing your thread by and never responding?
ur' right..
i just wrote it down simply, i'm gonna change it now. However, do you know the answer??
I will start by sayign I checked over the first 5 pages of the forum and used the search feature on the site but could still not find the answer I was looking for.
2nd I have OCD And I really want to clear out as much of the preinstalled crap that came on the phone that I don't use. I have already gotten rid of about 10 items and the phone is still running fine but I am unsure of how to tackle the rest.
Can I...
1) Get rid of friendstream and still have facebook sync working after mainly for syncing my facebook phone contacs? (I would/could disable my facebook sync account before the uninstall and add it back after but will this work?)
2) If I remove footprints can I also remove the CAR PANEL app? I (probably like most here) only use maps but have not seen anyone mention the removal of car panel. Also what would the command line be? /system/bin/rm /system/app/CarPanel.apk ???
3) Final question if I remove the voice dialer would that have any impact on any other services?
Thanks in advance guys.

Well, I'll put you on the right path, but you'll have to find your own way. You need root to remove system apps, which are stored in /system/apps/ I believe. You will need to research where such apps are stored, and how to root your phone. I recommend looking at the subforum specific to your phone.
^^^ I have the Incredible phone and I am on the General Incredible forums. Also I am rooted otherwise how would I already removed a bunch of apps? (Which I stated in the original post)
I am just asking about these 3 apps in particular.
This is like the most unhelpful forum I have ever been to.

I don't think anyone really knows the answer to your three questions. Why don't you just make a nandroid backup then experiment? Post your results here when your done so others can learn from it.

Thanks for all the lulz, bro. Although I'll warn you that deleting Footprints can break Facebook syncing. I'm pretty sure there's a "list of apps that are safe to delete" thread in this good forum. Not to be "unhelpful" or anything, Mr. Entitlement.
Yea I tried to remove friendstream and the sync problems start up right after so I just did a Nandroid backup and all is well.
I also tried to remove the car panel app but it wasn't going through.
If anyone else is reading this can someone tell me what the command line might be for that? I was trying all different variations with a capital C & P and nothing was working.

If you do a simple google search, you'll find this forum HERE , and will see that you have to manually tell android to stop the sync for this app
I also found the answer to removing car panel HERE
Wife has question about the stock Samsung keyboard )which is chit btw lol). She swears up and down that the keyboards predictive text has gone nuts since a couple weeks ago. For example; typing "hey" the first choice would be "gdw". I've tried clearing defaults and all that junk. Nothings fixed the issue. The first choice of every word is the first letters of each key. Can anyone else confirm that this is the norm or is an issue.

This may be a silly question, but are you sure she has the T9 Trace on? It sounds almost like it's just typing each letter she hits as opposed to tracing and then predicting the word..

Yeah, um. I don't know how to say this without sounding offensive. But the new format this page has. SUCKS! Oh yeah, I gotta ask a question. Alright, here goes. Why is it that I can enter something in the search bar here up to the right, and get NOTHING on a subject that I know for sure is here on XDA? I don't get it, and suddenly feel retarded everytime I try to use it since. It's a good thing I have a buncha bookmarks on my PC or I'd get totally lost within your search parameters. Believe me I already have more than a few times. Yeah, I'm obviously frustrated with it enough to write this little note for all you Admins, Moderators, whoever it is thats running things around here. Look, I should be able to enter something into the search bar and find it. But someone decided to change something that wasn't broke to begin with and now it's being difficult! Take this for an example. I'm researching a project I want to start. So, usually I would first start out in the search bar. Now go ahead, I dare ya! Enter this: Samsung Galaxy S Relay. That's an "exact" search parameter. Again with the no offense but, can any one of you tell me why I get directed to some page not even related? Where'd it lead me too? How to Root Any Device. Please fix your search parameters!

Sorry you're having trouble, but I get relevant search results using Samsung Galaxy S Relay.
Try clearing your cache? A different xda theme? Or to test, try another browser?
You can browse the devices section too, https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s-relay-4g
Good luck! :good:

From my tab, this is vastly different. I have to say, impressive compared to what I see on my pc. I'll clear cache. Thanks.

Next to the search bar , there's a button called "search plus" , click on it and you'll have the right search bar ( the little one you were using is to search between article from XDA Portal)
Okay, I'm back for a follow up, because this seems to be an obvious difficulty and I'll bet I'm not the only one that may be having issues with this. It's a navigation thing about the current format I see here on XDA. I noticed it a few weeks ago and it's not my cache. When I'm on my tablet I can navigate fine, but when I come here on my PC it's another story, and it's very frustrating. That's why you got this question before you in such a way. You guys who may understand it having set it up know how to get around. As I mentioned before it used to be fairly easy, now it's stupid not to belittle you. The problem is that it has suddenly become difficult to search for things in a normal maner. I use the search bar, which should dirrectly link me to what I am "specifically" looking for and let's put aside the search plus for the moment. If I'm searching for something that I know is there and I type in certain words that should bring me right to it, my question is, why aren't they! I'm getting redirected to some page, often of no relevance. And here's where I'll bet this is happening to others. So what's going on? There's a problem with your search bar, and I'm letting you know it's kinda frustrating. I can navigate through here with other ways, that's not a problem. I got some bookmarked, subscribed to, ect. The issue is that the search bar in itself is broken! Whatever you guys did to it, I saw it, pointing it out! Now fix it please. This might help. I noticed a difference about two weeks ago. Not sure what it is or was. I even cleared out from my PC anything that would suggestively lead to it being my PC settings. Being a good enough percentage to say it's not, it's therefore XDA.
On a side note for all you Admins and Mods. I've been coming here over 10 years now, I got questions and suggestions. But right now my suggestion is to please eliminate some obvious confusion I've noticed that affects an average user to navigate through your search areas.
Oh! Okay, there's the sudden difference!
[QUOTE( the little one you were using is to search between article from XDA Portal)[/QUOTE]
Wow. Really? Let me ask you something about what's that all about and why did this change and for what possible reason. And then why isn't there some notice the the search bar is no longer effective as it's says it is. I'll point for you guys that the search bar says QUOTE; Type device or find apps, ROMs & more. It does not say, "This is where you go to find stuff barely relevant to what you're searching for". Does it! Sorry that this may sound offending buuut. Bad words! To me, the search bar suddenly became a joke, and a bad one at that! Articles are nice but that's not what I was looking for. And in no way was I expecting to end up there.
Okay, so here's a basic question. let's put this on the table so to speak. I don't know why you put a link to articles in the search bar in such a way to begin with. It doesn't really make sense to me. Especially with your nifty new format of where everything is, except articles I'm going to guess. So you put them in the search bar with no notice of. Can you explain all that to me? Cuz right now I'm sorry to admit, I'm kinda laughing at this. I can just imagine all you went through, even deciding on how to change the old format to what I see now. It's good. However, when it comes to the search bar, whatever idea you went with. It's one that didn't notify anyone that the search bar isn't what it says it is~!
Ignoring your saltiness, why dont you use google and append each search with xda..

You seem to be angry and it's a pity. Did you try the suggestion provided by RaiZProduction in a previous post? Does the Search Plus button (see my screenshot attached) allow you to find what you are usually looking for on XDA Forum?
You might want to step back a second and read carefully!

I'm far from angry. But check this out. This is the Q & A section is it not? So i'm askinfg a question about a difference I noticed and the A's I'm getting are a joke! Really? Hey Wood Man? You're deflecting. Step off unless you got something relevant to say. To those of you at XDA I now have a minor complaint! You people need to read what I said. I said I noticed a difference with the search bar and could someone tell me whats wrong with it. The answer I got was a confirmation that the search bar was not functional as it says it is and that's it. So. Mr Wood Man. Did I follow the suggestion you mentioned? Ahem! Are you asking to get put down blatantly or what? I made a post, RaiZProduction made a suggestion, what may I ask you is the post after that? Mine! A follow up. Before you decide to jump in there, you might wanna inform yourself better.. This here Q & A asked, "Rather than sending a PM to an individual Moderator, please feel free to ask questions in need of Moderator or Admin assistance. We will all be monitoring this thread, and someone will reply without much delay." Well, I obviously came to the right place didn't I? Everyone has a personal preference and I used the search bar a lot.
OK, I'll stop this here.
Answers were given, some with ideas, others saying all is fine for them. And also your opinion on the search is noted. However, it seems to work for everyone else, so not sure what more to say.
And honestly, your aggressive posts are getting a bit much, so I'll end this before lines get crossed. I suggest a more respectful approach in the future Sir. :good:
