Is there a way to force prediction on the keyboard for a field that wouldn't normally have this?
Can I take that as a no?
no,take that as "we don't get you,explain it a bit" and "be patient,you've just waited for an hour and are already bumping"
Actually it was 25 hours, but I will try explain a little better
When on a webpage, both the regular browser and dophin browser allow text entry to parts of webpages.
Some fields such forum message fields (ie the one I am typing in), give predictive text, allow you to type quicker.
Some fields such as usernames do not.
Is there a way to force a field to allow predictive text.
ah,so....that was clear enough...i did spot that,but didn't need that option...but you can choose browser to remember your password
It's actually not just a username field, that was simply an example.
I believe it's done by default..i believe when you have an input field and you have the keyboard, tap the gear that signifies the settings for the keyboard and toggle to settings that will suit your needs.
You can also add words when you type predictive text by pressing the arrow that faces down when you see the word suggestions, and manually type in a word suggestion so that the predictor will give the newly created word as a suggestion. For instance, i've set it so when I type p-r-i on my phone, it autosuggests my username, princedwi.
Hope this helps!
Nope, sorry, still no good.
When I type a text message I get the predictive text, if I type "examp" it will fill in "example", however there are some boxes (mainly in web browser on some websites), php shoutbox for example, that simply don't, if I type "examp" then that's what it says.
Hitting the gear brings up text input settings, but the settings are ok for lots of other text fields, just not all.
Just a guess, but perhaps these particular fields don't use the standard Android 'widget' (not as in desktop app, but as in 'form' control as we call it in programming). For shoutboxes, I'm pretty sure they'll use a custom sort of javascript control, which may not actually use the default android textbox.
Could this be the issue?
Quite possibly.
And would there be a way to force predictive text in those fields.
I get where youre coming from mate - some text entry fields default to T9 and others in other programs default to ABC entry (catching you and me off guard!!)
T9 = Text on 9 keys, so slightly different, but think you know what I mean.
Don't think so
I've filed a bug against prediction being enabled for a password field in the stock Android (bad idea - passwords are not (should not be) dictionary words). This makes me think that prediction is a setting of the input field, and your application (Browser in your case) code simply disables it.
Other than reverse-engineering and patching the app, I don't know of a way to force prediction/autocomplete on.

I suddenly have to do it without contacts completion in the Messaging program.
Before, I could just type the first 3+ letters of a contact name on the 'To:' line in email/sms/mms/ messages and a pick list came up showing the corresponding contact(s) to pick.
That neat pick list doesn't come up anymore.... not even after a soft reset.
There still is the 'Check names' option in the menu, which also comes up with the appropriate name when entering only a few 'To:' letters, but the pick list is much more efficient ofcourse.
Note: I'm using the 2.00.04 PV PRO Crossbow ROM.
Anyone the solution?
Thanks!!
There...
....already found the solution.
Because every Crossbow version still has this 'Suggestion words when entering text' issue, I set 'suggest after X words' to the maximum of 7 letters, so that when I accidentally forgot to disable the suggesting (when Crossbow's bug enabled it again after a soft reset) the suggesting wouldn't come up by typing short words.
The thing is that, even when the entire suggesting is disabled, the number of letters you set up for 'suggest after X words' still affects the number of letters you need to enter on the 'To:' line in a new message before you see the mentioned pick list.
So, solved.
I'm a recent switcher from the Palm OS, and so far I'm very pleased with my WM experience. One bit of software I miss on my new Touch that I had on my old Palm device was "ShortCut5" which let me quickly enter commonly used text (my e-mail address, my name, etc.). For example, I would type ".em" in any text field in Palm OS and it would replace it with my full e-mail address. This saves A LOT of time and finger cramps when logging into websites. I've searched high and low and haven't found a WM equivalent.
I'm basically looking for the Quick Text feature of messaging, but being able to use it in any text field in the OS!
Any recommendations?
Hi all!
How can I enable auto-suggest feature in inbox? I mean when I start to type in the TO field the device should offer a few contacts starting with the letters I type. This worked for me on my other devices, but not on Diamond.
Currently I can only tap on the TO text, then it slowly opens Contacts app, where I search for a contact, then it opens another screen where I can select which number I want to use. This is way too complicated!
EDIT: I see that if I use the built-in keyboard it does suggest ONE contact and I need to hit the arrows multiple times to get to the right one. However, if I use any other keyboard (like e.g. Resco Keyboard which is my default one), no contacts are offered at all.
Thanx
Still no joy
I found this info, but it still does not work:
"If you want Auto Complete function in "To:" field in SMS app, go to HKLM>System>Inbox>RecipientAutoComplete and change value of the string MaxSuggestions. from 0 to 4 for example."
Half-solution
I found a solution at http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=241036
This hack works, however disables the default auto-suggestion of the built-in Touch keyboard. However, I do not intend to search further, this is a completely acceptable compromise for me:
"The culprit is Xt9, when it's enabled it disables sms name lookup, so disable XT9 and whalla. Instructions... browse registry:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e001 0409\Ime File
set the Ime File value from \windows\eT9ime.dll to compime.dll"
You may also need to add these registry entries (not sure):
HKLM>System>Inbox>RecipientAutoComplete
MaxSuggestions (DWORD): 4
HKLM>System>Inbox>RecipientAutoComplete>SuggestionGenerators:
email (STRING): "{364D1505-915A-4b1d-85A6-8C258B2D2246}"
phone (STRING): "{45EEED9B-898c-4caf-BC3E-A5422F56085B}"
Hope somebody will be happy with this finding

Hey i was looking for this since long. But the problem is that when i try to change the registery key it says access denied. How to change it. I am using Ceregistry editor. This doesnt allow me to change the value.
bump.............
registry editor
I am using PHM registry Editor. I have not had any problems with it.
Actually I have this problem not in SMS but in email. I don't get any suggestions at all even without TX9.
Does anyone have a fix for this please?
I am running Nataly 2.6 ROM and both SMS and email have auto-suggestion enabled. However, I have seen some posts complaining about email not working (on other ROMs). Don't know the answer for this one, sorry
Has anyone noticed that input fields that offer auto complete entries are broken after the 3.2 update? And example would be in gmail or google voice, you tap in the to field and start typing a name - now it switches to a zoomed input box but that input box doesn't display the auto complete entries. So you cannot enter a name or number and choose from a pull down like you normally would, you have to completely enter the address or number manually.
Anyone else seeing this, any workaround?
Mine works fine no issues! I'm on Task 6.1 rom
Running stock 3.2 here... everything works as it should.
Maybe check and see if any of your browser settings have been changed after the update.
Also, what browser are you using??? That may have something to do with it to.
Sent from my Galaxy10.1 TouchWiz/ADWex equipped Starship.
Mine works fine too.
It isn't happening in the browser but in gmail and google voice where you get the pull down for typing a name (FUE list).
Ahh, it is my keyboard ... Better Keyboard.
Okay, so over time, I've gotten used to just typing one letter in Safari and hitting enter, assuming autocomplete will finish the rest (ex. typing F and enter, and autocomplete changes it to Facebook.com and goes to that). Since the new Safari came out, the search is integrated into that bar, so every now and then, I hit enter before autocomplete finishes, and I get a google search for "F" for example. Now, this normally wouldn't be an issue, except now that I have Google now, it thinks that I'm trying to search for the stock symbol "F" and now that is constantly showing up on Google Now, and it isn't in the list with my other stock symbols, so I can't even remove it! Some people have suggested that deleting Google Web History would help with this issue, so this is my question:
How do I search my web history for just the letter "f." I've tried every way I can think of, including in quotes, and I get other searches (like Axle F, etc.). I strictly want to find searches just for the letter "F" alone. How would I go about doing that? I really don't want to delete my entire Google History!
Anyone??
