I just downloaded this thing and I like it a lot... but it doesnt seem as if when I add a new word that its saving to the dictionary. Everytime I enter I have to put them in over and over..
Ah nevermind I figured it out.

Not sure, but it seems that my T9 list is remembering passwords I entered. Don't like that as anyone who would get my PDA could find out my passwords by typing some text, in the suggested words my passwords will pop-up if you guess the first char(s) right. Am I right here? It doesn't seem logical if it would work like this.
Mmmm.... either this is so obvious no one likes to even bother answering or nobody cares (which would surprise me) or nobody really knows what can be done about it... Someone you wants to tell me which one is true? ;-)
disable auto completion
But then I won't have T9 anymore, right. I guess I can't have them both I guess??
why not just try disabling T9 when you enter a password? it's a one-tap slidey box so not hard to do...

Thanks, that's possible and might be the best thing to do.
Better would be if T9 would AUTOMATICALLY disable for input in fields that are for passwords... guess that wouldn't be rocket-science now would it?
Hi,
has anyone noticed (or maybe not having the same problem as me) that when using phonepad in T9 mode and writing messages, it doesn't remember the words that you have selected.
for example HE uses the same letters as IF, now...on my old HD, if I typed HE and then selected HE from the list, then type HE again and selected it from the list, next time I typed the keys for HE, the phone would remember that I have used HE the most and HE wold be the fist option in the list....I've done this countless time, but HE is still 5th or 6th in the list of words (ID, which isn't even a word is always first)
as a side issue, one of the first things I always do is edit the T9 dictionary to add my name and other words etc following this..the T9 doesn't remember any new words that I add (I thought it as supposed to do this automatically?)
thanks for reading
Same here
I ve turned T9 of due to this
actually it does.
I had this problem before and only a bit of playing around worked.
Basically, you need to go in to text input settings (can be done from the keyboard pop up menu) and turn ALL the XT9 settings on (i think one or two are off by default)
then, when typing something new, simply turn off the t9, write in the new word then tap on it on the suggestions bit and it will save it to your XT9 dictionary.
Bare in mind that for shorter things, it doesnt for some reason.... only really 3 letter words like uni or bro. for these you need to find the xt9 program, open it and add it.
Hope all that makes sense?
Oh and the HE/ID/if thing sorts itself out after you've selected them about a million times. annoying i know but haven't found a workaround for that.
It does it for me. I've very happy with the way T9 learns from me, even to the point where it's suggesting things like usernames and email addresses when I start typing them.
after the update... although my screen is useless now.. i admit that the swype has improved.. so i'm begining to use it more now... but i can't get over at how many "useless" words are in the phone memory.. if i were to edirt swypes dictionary.. i would be able to make swype far more accrate... by disposing or deleting all the words that are incorrect or not even a word... any input on this?? is there a way to do it?
or to add words?

Adding words is easy. Tap out the new word and press "space" afterwards. Any new wiord you type out in this manner gets added to Swype's dictionary.
k, so any idea on how to edit swypes dictionary?? i can imagine that its set up similar to hd2 xt9 dictionary... am i correct?
I really liked the way the autocorrect worked on the Evo 4G keyboard. Is there a way to turn that on for the Vibrant?
It would also be nice to have the key pressed pop up above the key when I push it (to verify i hit the right one without moving my eye) instead of just flashing blue under my finger where I can't see it.
I'm trying to figure out how to change these two things...at least mainly the autocorrect.
Regarding swype.... not to hijack a thread... I no longer see how you add a word for swype to learn like it did previously? Used to, you would just long press and add the word to your dictionary. Anyone know how to do this?
Whenever you type a word in manually and hit space to go to a new word, it learns it. You can access the tutorial in "Swype Tips" in your app menu. It goes over this and other uses. You'll add the "word" "bob4" to the menu in the tutorial.
I found the answer to my question.
Apparently I was confused
If anyone else out there is confused...
The default keyboard is swype and to get the autocorrect working similar to Evo, you need to go to settings, then Locale and text, then Set default keyboard and change it to android. If you change to samsung keyboard, you have to enable the auto predict text thing.
I've been trying out swype now though, and I'm liking it.
^^ yeah, I did that.... I guess I'm just used to longpressing and adding words to my dictionary. I have tried to type in a-p-p-s, but I can never get swype to do "apps" for me.

This clarified a lot for me.
I love my swype keyboard but I'm sick and tired of the library adding little corrections our appendages to words and then letting those add on block out the words I'm trying to type.
I want to know if there are any apps that allow me to open up my swype library and edit it I'm a list form.
As an example it would list all entries in the library in alphabetical order and allow me to delete entries that I don't need.

Great question, I'd love to know too
It doesn't even need to be swype
Specifically but a library editor in general

I believe each keyboard has its own user dictionary and they are not shared. would make sense if they were though.
when i encounter this, i just highlight the blocking word, hit swype logo on the bottom right, delete, and it never shows again...
This is one of the major reasons I switched away from SlideIT and Swype (to Ultra Keyboard, which so far seems to be using the User Dictionary).
You can only really use the select and Swype key delete method. Personally I thought it was easier to disable automatic addons and add words.
Great question. Been wondering the same thing for a couple of weeks. Those notifications that a word was blocked really slow down my typing.

Definetly ... And the creators of swype say ignore those pop ups until your done typing your message then go back through and edit everything ... only problem with that is that I have a short memory span lol and cant quite remember what word was meant to be there

I hope someone can figure out an app or some way to edit the swype dictonary. I really like swype and highlighting the word then pressing the swype button works just fine but i would like to edit the list of words in one shot.

Thanks for the Ultra keyboard mention. Tried it and love it. Better than swype to me. Maybe not as accurate at first, but has tons of features and I don't have to worry about that annoying popup box.
I wish there were a way to disable Swype from automatically adding words you type, but instead having an easy way to manually teach it words. A lot of stuff I type gets added and reappears later even if it was only a one time thing.
