Hi ya lads and gals
I'd appreciate some help with adjusting the auto correct features on the HTC One M8 - I'd like to disable the automatic replacement of words as you type - but I'd like to leave the list of word suggestions or spell check suggestions as you tap an underlined word.
I don't know if this is a Sense 6 specific option, but you can either have both - suggestions and auto correct - or none at all. You have only one check box and you can't go deeper into the options (Sense 3.6 had more options).
i.e.: edit: sorry, can't post links yet - you can view this screen cap i.imgur.com/XIxn8mr.jpg?1
However on both Sony SP (4.3) and Sony Z1 (4.4) you can tap on word suggestions to get more options, including disabling automatic replacement of words. This however leaves the suggestion list and underlines misspelled words (but otherwise leaves them alone). Which leads me to believe this option might be available on stock android and just hidden in the Sense UI.

I often write bilingual messages and use various abbreviations and/or slang and adding these to the dictionary while fast typing is not an option in the long run .
I'd appreciate your insight into this, thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:
PS - my phone's not rooted.
Get Swiftkey https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey.
I have paid for it twice, for phone and tablet, but now its free.
Thanks for the suggestion NikosPx, but I wanna work on the stock app (I'm crazy that way ).
Ok so I did some more checking and I found that Android 4.4.3 on the Nexus 4 also has separate options for suggestions and auto correct: i.imgur.com/QTsTVrs.jpg?1 - makes me wonder why HTC would choose to hide these options in the new Sense UI
Anywho, asked HTC on Twitter, but I fear I'm not popular enough to warrant an answer, sigh

Wonder if the GPE M8 has these settings...
Having the same problem..i realise this is an old post but like you i am also crazy enough to not want any additional keyboard softwares on my mobile.
just wondering if you have found a solution to your problem in stock setttings..
Htc m8 4.4.4 not rooted and sense 6.0
Hey, sorry but no luck. I've eventually given in and switched to swiftkey keeping my hopes up for the lollipop update though.

Just change the keyboard setting in advanced config or under HTC Custome if you have it, select Cingular for ATT & Cignular or you lang if dif. I think this is like the 100th time this has been asked. Doesn't anyone use search?
Thanks Scrambler001, i am glad someone asked it, i am a newbie i tried a search, before asking but you was kind enough to still answer that other person. I have to sneak around work to use the cpu really so i never have a chance to actually sit and read. Thanks again, fixed...
i checked in the advanced config app, the only choice for keyboard layout is "english", still the same results. I dont have any HTC Customize apps or settings on my device either.

Well then just install HTC Custome if you need to. I thought all the options were available in Schaps rom though you might need to scroll up or down to find the Cingular one if thats what your looking for. Thats what I did when I installed his ROM.

This always works for me. Hope it helps.
I"m just wondering, did no one bother to look in the Schapp's 4.0 thread. I think it was asked about four times in there

You bet I even posted the answer there a few times already but the starter of this thread probably didn't go through the whole thread or search using a good key word like "keyboard" or some such. I think the total is more than 4 though and if you count the number of times it's been asked out of the thread well I run out of fingers and toes so go figure. LOL
Hi all.
When i spellcheck my emails, the spellchecker takes-up so much of the screen that i can't see the word that is supposedly spelled incorrectly. What that means is; I can't see what word I'm about to replaced with one of the proposed spellings.
Does anyone know how to make it so that the spellchecker allows me to see both my originally spelling as well as the list of proposed correct spellings?
Sorry if this is unclear. I'm happy to try rephrasing if need be?
Thanks

Does no one else have this problem? If I'm just missing something obvious, please tell me.
I use my TP2 for business email (as i'm sure most of us do) and I really can't afford to send messages without spellchecking. Given the issue i'm having, running spellcheck is extremely painful.
thx.

Yup, I have this problem too, noticed it last night.. together with the TAB key being missing off the keyboard... and the two locations required to switch in Delivery reports...
As for a solution, I don't know of one except getting rid of the touch flow... which im tempted to do - as once you get past the pretty'ness its "pretty" useless!
Alternate solution :
* To have both "Touch Flo 3D" and "the standard Windows Mobile menus"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu]
"CUIHandler"=dword:00000000
With the standard menus you see the text while spell checking, and you still keep touch flo (which I do find helps when using the TP2 as a one hand phone).

HarveyR, *thank you* for replying with that suggestion. I'm going to try that tonight and report back.
Harvey,
That worked like a dream... thanks so much!!
At the risk of looking a gift horse in the mouth; can you tell me if there's any way to resize the font on the "menu" now?
What i means is, when composing a new message, if i click the "menu" button, the font is HUGE which means i have to scroll vertically to see all the options on that menu. Do you know if that font can be set to something smaller? If so, how do i do that?
thanks again Harvey.

There is a lot of speculation and conflicting reports of how voice-to-text was implemented on the Desire. After reading every thread related to v2t, Im still totally confused
If you already have a handset, could you please tell us what the real story is with voice-to-text? No speculation, rumours etc please! If you are lucky enough to already have one, please help by answering these 2 questions?
1) Is voice-to-text available as a 'general' text input (in place of the on-screen keyboard)? I know there is a thread on how to enable it using an alternative keyboard but that's not what Im asking.
2) Is it available on all versions (unlocked, T-Mobile, Orange??)
To assist with getting a definitive answer to the second question, please include the carrier/store you bought your handset from.
Thanks in advance for your help!!
initially i thought this thread was about how good voice to text was, but then read your post. So i'll comment on both.
I got my desire direct from t mobile, and voice to text was not a function i could find. It wasn't until i downloaded the keyboard app referenced in other posts, and then switched to android keyboard instead of the stock htc keyboard, that i could find and use speech to text. I presume that the speech to text button was always present on the android keyboard and the extra keyboard app only activated the function which wasn't working before. However, as i only found out how to activate the android keyboard after i downloaded the extra keyboard app, I can't be too sure.
I can only issume that it would be the same for the generic ROM and other network ROM users. But from hearing about the people who have received the OTA update it seems that speech to text function may be changing or being disabled. I definitely hope not, though.
I used speech to text for half of this message. It seems to be working really well for me, despite what a lot of other people are saying. It's definitely not perfect, but i can see it as a function i will use often. I look forward to it getting better, and hope it will stay on the desire.
Hi guys
Just received this head unit today and it's my first android device for a few years - spent the evening installing it and I love it already - it's a huge leap from stuff I've had in the past.
One thing I can't see how to do though is how to add/change widgets on the main home screen on this version of android/this head unit.
I'm sure on previous android devices I've had it's been a case of doing a long press maybe on blank space on the screen, but this doesn't do anything. I found a screen panel which has some widgets that can be added to additional screens, but not the main one, and it doesn't include the items currently present, not things like app shortcuts etc etc.
This is probably a stupid/easy question sorry but I can't find out on this device how I change these, so if someone could assist I'd be really grateful, thanks!
Jim
Hi
I moved your thread to Q&A-Section.
Would you please tell us which ROM you are using? Or are you still on stock?
Sorry, my bad. Thanks for moving it!
It's still the stock rom. Does it say the details for that in settings where it has the other details such as model/processor etc?
Thanks!
Anyone?
Thanks if anyone can help
You'll need to use a different launcher. The default ones (next, etc) do not allow much/any modification
Thanks for the tip Brendo - didn't realise that's what it came down to.
I'll have a look into alternatives, but are there certain ones that are favoured for head units as opposed to ones that might be favourites on phones for different reasons etc?
Cheers!
Jim
Right - after some searching and reading I'm gonna change the launcher to Nova as it looks great and very flexible.
Also going to stick poweramp in it I think as a better quality music player.
hello everybody
i had a looooong e-mail battle with Sony support team to include option "disable autocapitalisation" for keyboard settings
can anybody confirm or deny the presence of this checkbox in settings for lollipop? because that is basically the one and only reason for me to upgrade and i'm not sure whether i'm should go with it
thanks in advance
cheers
i don't know what exactly are you asking, but i'll try.
In the keyboard, while typing, the first letter is capital. You can tap the capitalisation arrow to make even the first letter small, but you have to do this every time you want the first letter to be in small letters.
hope this helps.

i never experienced a problem with clarity of my speech, but anyway
BEHOLD!

exibit B: my C6502
i66 tinypic com/k03q14.jpg
(replace spaces with dots)
so, my question: does SONY included this option in the new android version or not
i can install third-party keyboard, like, google's. and the google keyboard do have the "autocapitalization" option. but i really like the appearance and layout of Sony's keyboard, so, i want them to change
if you have a ZL and update it for Android 5.x.x - just go to the keyboard settings. if you see the checkbox for autocorrection - tell me. if you don't see it - tell me anyway, hehe
thank you in advance once again!
forgive me my friend for not understanding the first time.
I have updated my Xperia to 5.1.1
as I told you earlier, the keyboard DOES auto capitalise the first letter.(you can change this behaviour on the fly with the Upward arrow below the letter "a" as shown in the screenshots.)
here are these screenshots you requested. see for yourself. if you want any help, I will surely help you
OK, auto-capitalization is still turned on by defaut and still unswitchable
guess, i'll stick with KitKat for now
thanks
