Annoying Black Text-Completion: Solved!

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.

Start Menu, Keyboard, Apps

Okay so I just have a few general questions. I have searched around. Spent a lot of the past few days looking around. But just some general questions.
1) Is there anyway to make the start menu anything sort of organized? I just don't know what to do with that thing. It's getting very full, lol.
2) I have read plenty of stuff on different keyboards. I know there's the swype keyboard and a few others I guess.
a) But is there anyone who's made a keyboard, or anything, to just have the regular keyboard without the arrows, lol?
b) Is there any better way to get to specific parts of text without the arrows? Like the iPhone Magnifying glass or something?
3) People all the time say that they can pretty much find an app for anything. Well I'm not a business professional. I have O-Market installed. But are there any other places to look for just some cool apps and time killers?
Edit (4) Umm, is there anything to be done for messaging. I've done some reg tweaks and stuff, but what bothers me is when I click on a new message in the messaging tab (the one where you can scroll through your 25 most recent messages) and I HATE how I've either got to start typing and then get interrupted when it selects the message I clicked on, or I have to wait for it to select the message and then start typing...
Any way to make it NOT select the message, lol? I already know what message I'm responding too dang it, lol.
Hopefully I can get some answers, or links to answers for these. Thanks a lot guys .

4) You can flash your ROM to Energy ROM and it'll eliminate that problem.
I keep going back to Energy after experimental flashing with other ROM, but I go back to Energy for that reason alone.
1) Start Menu is something I don't really use, ever.
Cookie's Home Tab allows you to have more than 1 apps panel, up to 5 panels, I think.
I have 3 4x4 panel tabs I can just access from home screen, nearly every program/contacts I use are on it.

Awesome. If I could get any responses to the other questions that would be great .
But thank you very much. I was looking at Energy, I will probably flash to that. I have CHT right now, so I might have to think about some more tab pages.
Do all roms do that with messaging?

How can I get sms-popup on the lockscreen?

I did get a HD2 today while I've been using HTC Hero (android) for about 4 months.
Now CAN I get some sort of sms-popup or preview in the lockscreen when I get a sms? I hate the way to go to the sms now, I want to see it directly when I get it aswell as I want the screen to turn on!
If this can't be possible on this phone, then well will hand this biggy thing back to the store!

Cant find it?

arrow in right corner of box
Just follow the instructions sam gave, then touch arrow on right side of top box,it will bring a drop down menu, just scroll to new message, do as sam said,,,,,Quig

It took me all of 3 seconds to find it, read Samuels instructions carefully.
Check the 2 attached screen shots.
You need to go to Settings tab and then click Menu > All Settings

this option is greyed out on my HD2, anyone know why?

Thx so much haha! I didnt scroll down to Message.

ok i see what the man wants and i did what the others said. heres the problem. it flashes up the msg preview for all of 5 seconds while its awake but if on standby i only get a blink of it b4 the lockscreen takes over... the lockscreen is mahoosive with 1 lil slider so wheres the option for the preview to be part of the lockscreen ie. preview to stay on there unill unlocked.. is this possible cus altho this thread taugt me something new its pointless if the preview blinks in my pocket and when i come to have a quick check of my screen its just the tap/slide new msg slider again as before... hmmmmm helpage!

I think what he's after is something similar to the S2U2 option to view unread SMS/MMS/Email etc while the screen is locked... Personally I don't think its possible with the native lockscreen, but I'd love to be proven wrong...

sort of, right my last phone was a c902 and if the keypad was locked and u got a txt it would pop up a window stating who its from and the 1st line of the txt and if u didnt notice you had a txt but took it out of your pocket say 10 mins later and just clicked a button to wake it up but not unlock the keys the window, ya know just quickly checkin it see if your popular lol, that window would still be there... then ya can either unlock and read or put strait back in ur pocket to read later... its soooooo simple it should be standard. the preview thing on here is only really useful for when im browsing like now iv just had a txt and i know who its from lol but on the lockscreen if you test it out it littery just flashes.grr lol

Just as stated before: Take a look at S2U2 2.41. It does exactly what you want.

oh yea baby that works a treat! much better and bigup respects man lol all is goo now

question from first post was solved, but i dont want to create another topic, because my case is connected.
anybody knows if there is any possibility to get sth like it was in wm5 during receiving sms ?
ok, now i can have a popup, great, but only with one key - LHK (Hide) ...
on wm5 i had RHK with options like: save as read, delete, reply
and im missing that option very much ... cause when i get delivery report im unable to delete it at once ... i must go to htc messages, open it and delete ...

How did you get that upper taskbar? Is there a cab or something? I'd like to give it a try. perhaps you could share the cab and instructions?
Thanks a lot.

I don't know how to look for this on here..HTC sense quicklinks?

After installing the update from TMO, The little bar that flips between mail, home, internet, images, music, etc. "shrinks" into a little black tab in the middle of my screen at the bottom.
This is super super annoying because it takes an extra effort to click on the damn thing and then slide my finger to scroll. This also requires a second tap on the screen when i go to browser because the first one simply 'collapses' the little thing and the second one will actually respond to the internet icon you're tapping on.
Tell me there's a way to turn off the collapse of this stupid thing. I tried looking on here but I don't know what keywords to use to search this out. Something like 'htc sense update hd2 registry change' yields nothing.
TIA

It sounds to me like you have cookies home tab enabled?! That is strange are you sure you didn't flash to a custom rom?! I have that one my phone and I have the update but the only way I was able to get that was with CHT. I have attached examples.

Yep! I do have cookies home tab installed! Dang..so is the setting in that to change it? :bangs head:
I'll take a look.
WTHAT A MORON. Thats its. The 'retractable slider' setting. I can't believe I didn't realize that was cookie and not HTC.
Thanks a million for pushing me in the right direction.

Awesome! Glad I could help! I had that enable for a while but it became a little annoying so I took it off! Hahahaha it does make it look really cool!

Hey, thanks for the info. I'm glad I learned about that.
I also have Cookies, and didn't know about that.
Now I have just enabled that feature. Why? I don't find that "ribbon" at the bottom very useful, as it is not very customizable. Nice to have the settings button there at the right, but one can also do that with a Quick Link. I like the music app, but one can also do a quick link for that. Withouth that ribbon, there is room for another row of quick links. (I find it unfortunate that that "ribbon" is so uncustomizable. You cannot choose what is in it, but only what to remove (other than settings and home). (I don't really need that home icon either, because there is a hardware button for home.) I don't like how that "People" tab goes to "HTC People". I'd rather go straight to the regular contacts list. But it can't be changed (AFAIK), only removed.
So by retracting it, I remove the whole thing (can slide it back if I want), but can put the links I like in that ribbon into quick links, for which there is now more room.
Thank you.

[Q] Noob Question

Sorry for the noob question, but moving from HTC to Vibrant, I am still learning things as I go.
Here is the question:
I have Launch pro and I really love it. The problem I am having is I can not move my short cuts between the diffrent screens.
Yes I did a search and could not find anything on this.
Could someone please give me a quick hand
Thanks in advance

Just go to the screen where you want the shortcut, open the app drawer, long press on the one you want and put it on the screen. No need to move them between screens, just place new ones.
Typos and other gibberish courtesy of Swype

you can move between screens you just have to move the icon as far over as you can then hold it there for a second and i should transition

Yea I tried to swipe it to the next screen really fast, did not work. I tried holding it there for about 10 seconds, did not move it.
So is it possibule that you have to delete the old one and create and new short cut if you want that short cut on a diffrent screen????
Don't seem right to me, that you would need to do that

Ok got it. Thanks guys for the help.
I had to use almost my finger nail to get it as far over as I could, man that was rough
Thanks again
