Could someone tell me how to turn off word suggestions.
I turned everything off in settings but they still appear.
Me too, this sucks, i want to disable this all together.
In your messaging, click the little slider that says "ABC T9". Make sure it slides to ABC. Magically, it doesn't predict text anymore.

How To Get Rid of The Black Autocomplete Box When Using Hardware Keyboard
To Hide the Autocomplete Box:
1. Type as Normal Until Words Start Appearing
2. Press Menu Button Twice
3. Autocomplete should hide itself
To Bring the Autcomplete Box Back:
1. Press the text field once
2. Should Pop Back up once you start typing
Super thanks to the1wingedangel for figuring it out!
Original Post:
But does anyone know how to get rid of the black word suggestions that pop up underneath the text entry box when your using the full keyboard on the G1? I for the life of my can not figure out what auto correct option to uncheck. The worst part is that its really unpredictable and might show up 1 out of 10 times i start typing with the keyboard.
Thanks guys : )
EDIT: ooops sorry. Over looked the word 'full'
Good question...that started showing up randomly for me a couple of days ago.
Double tapping the text box while your keyboard is open should get rid of it from showing up again.
Hmm good idea uber, will give it a shot next time the thing pops up and let you know how it works out.
That annoyed the hell out of me so much i switched roms. It would auto-replace words that I didn't want replaced.
Alright so I tried the double tap thing and no luck on that front. Didn't work out for me. Anyone else try that fix out?
And I know what you mean CBowley. It might just take a .lib deletion or something to fix tho. Heres to hoping that something comes up : )

Make sure you're doing it before you type anything in the box or it's locked to the ON position. I've done it a few times on my phone right here and it's working like clockwork. :-/
Ah I see so are you saying to double tap before I enter anything in the textbox ever? The problem is that it will show up completely random times like 1 in 10 or something. But I'll try double tapping before entering anything in the field and see if that keeps it at bay.
To turn off auto complete and auto correct:
Menu->settiings->Locale & Text->Touch Input (or whatever KB u r using)->Text Input
From here you can turn on/off all KB/typing features.

Thanks maubig, but those settings don't help change the autocompletion for the full keyboard. VK isn't giving me the problem.
Ok, I seem to have figured out how to kill that annoying text suggestion pop up when using the hardware keyboard. When it pops up, double click menu button. To re-activate it, touch the text box once, then start typing. Seems to work.

Excellent Angel! That worked perfect for me. Did the trick exactly like you said it would. Lets see if it works for other people too. Time to change thread title. Thanks : )
Thanks for this... I despised that stupid black suggestion box.
Wow this never uses word completion, it never helps me with any words! I see t9 in there, but it doesn't utilize it for emial, or anything I have used the phone for (unlike the Dash 1 and Q9h).
Any way to turn on word completion?
Well I see the options for it when texting under menu, but it stil does not try and finish words like even hello or anything, kind of annoying. It starts to show spelling options, but not a whole word.
So I'm in a webpage. I want to copy and paste a section of a paragraph of text.
I hold my finger over the text till I get the option to turn text selection on. I turn it on then proceed to attempt to select the text I'm interested in. Except I can't see the text as my finger obscures it. So I have to keep trying to do it blind untill by complete luck the right bit is highlighted.
What bright spark allowed this through quality control? It's idiotic and wastes so much time.

Tip #40. Doesnt work in everything, many apps have their own settings for select.
Thanks but the tip #40 is even more irritating as it means somewhere down the line someone realised highlighting text could do with some help, but they disabled it by default.
heh, yea, but thats half the fun of it!
When I get a call come through if i cant answer it, how do i put the caller through to voicemail?
I know i used to be able to do this on my old phone by pressing the call end button.
This does not seem to work on the HD2...very annoying
Any ideas guys?
doesn't it give you the option on the screen?
swipe left to answer, swipe right to reject
volume toggle
Try the user manual, all kinds of basic stuff,& tech stuff too,.. On mine the volume button can reject,& be set to send text saying your busy,& will call back...
lol it shows on the screen when someone is calling.
the slider is in the middle.
left side is green 'answer'
right side is red 'reject'
you slide to whichever side you want to do.
Ah, i worked out what it was....
I had that slide to lock thing on my phone (SU2 i think)
What it was doing was not giving me the option to slide the bar the other way to reject a call.
I have removed it fom my phone and im now able to reject a call or send a text now.
thanks for the help guys
Does not the red hardware button do the same (the one used to turn phone off) ?

you don't really need to uninstall S2U2 for that... I was confused by it at first, as well, but then all you need to do is to disable everything under Settings\Phone (Actually, you get to disable "show caller id" and then everything else is immediately greyed out)

ok, thanks for that, i may reinstall then.
i never really used S2U2 that much anyway.
thanks though
Trying to figure out how to turn off the feature where it changes the word automatically unless i hit the little 'skip corrections' arrow....very frustrating because there is no way to know its going to change the word until after i try and hit spacebar, and then i have to go back and redo and then still hit the skip key
also, how do i get it so that it's not blocking swear words? I used to be able to find this but for some reason now cannot, thanks!
Which keyboard are you using?
