Some how single character suggestions (and auto correcting) are coming up, like 'H" and "W." How can I manually delete these one off suggestions? The only way I see is to wipe the entire cache which will lose a lot of the correctly predictive suggestions.
Thanks

There should be a setting called dictionary and all your saved words can be seen and u can delete them, but with Google updates to OS I am not sure if it still is there.
I have not been able to find anything like that. Can you point me in the right direction? When I spoke with LG support they said the only thing you can do is wipe the entire cache. =(
Ok here it is
Go to general tab in settings> language and keyboard>LG keyboard>word suggestions>personal dictionary and remove ones u dont need, hope it helps.
Thanks for that. Unfortunately the personal dictionary is empty. =(
Then u probably have to change settings to mild corrections so it won't bother with everything
On the LG 6 model, once you get to the LG Keyboard, look for Word Suggestions, click on that. Then look under "Manage" where it has 3 areas to choose from> 1st is Personal dictionary, 2nd is Update word suggestions, and 3rd is Clear suggestion history. Select Clear suggestion history. Once you tap on that, it will ask you "Clear suggestion history?" and give you the option to Cancel or Clear. Hit Clear. That should clear everything out. Hope this helps.

Hi guys,
Been searching around but can't find answers, please if you know this question has been asked, just point me in the right direction.
I have a Vodafone Magic (yeah, yeah, I know, stupid right? Fancy wanting an android phone that the supplier will never upgrade past 1.6) But I didn't have that knowledge at the time. While I'm not happy with the phone generally, I have a more specific question.
I have always been happy enough using the stock broswer, although I have tried others too. But Just yesterday a problem turned up, that even using alternate browsers does not help with. When I go onto google site, and into preferences (settings) for google, which goes basically to the same page regardless of browser, I have always been able to save my prefernces, Ie safe search (other than moderate), save location, save searches etc. But yesterday, and since, every time I change a setting, save and then go back into settings, nothing I changed has altered.
Basically rambling, but say I change safe search to strict, press save, goes back to google page, go back into settings, and sure enough safe search is back to moderate.
This used to happen only when I cleared cache.
What the hell have I done to the phone to cause this, it's really quite irritating.
I have turned phone off and back on. I haven't done a factory reset yet, as hoping there is a solution that doesn't invole reinstalling all apps etc. I haven't done a soft reset, because I don't know if one exists.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
"have a Vodafone Magic is stupid right?" I don't think so haha
So after coming from a Windows phone for years, I'm beginning to realize Android is incredibly different.. and of course, in a good way. I've added all the usuals, FB, emails, twitters, etc.. and finally figured a good way to handle contact photos, emails, social networking, etc... however, I have paid a price in probably changing a bunch of settings I never should have.
Am reading that sometimes (as I am unrooted/unmodded) that doing a factory wipe can help clear some of that stuff out.
Q1: Is this possible on Android without root and if so, what do people recommend?
Q2: I'm assuming it will save my paid apps?
Q3: When creating a new text message, is there a reason I'm having to scroll through work and home numbers of my contacts instead of it defaulting to whichever is listed as mobile? Hoping this is the stock SMS app that has the issue and I can find a separate one to fix?
Thanks in advance.

1.doing a foctory wipe will set your x back to pretty much out of the boxi would just clear cache instead
2.yes your paid apps are synced through the market and google and will always be there
3.if they have more then one number it will show
Awesome, thanks.. How do I clear cache and why wouldn't Android recognize the mobile # as a higher priority when drafting a text? Windows did that, surprised Android doesn't!

to be honest im not sure why it wouldnt recognize it as a higher priority i will do some research on the topic......to clear your cache go into recovery mode
power phone of
then hold the power button and the home button and screen will turn on
keep holding them simultaneously until you see a droid guy with an orange triangle
once you see the triangle let off the buttons and press search button
this will bring up some options for you
now you scroll up and down with your volume rocker and select with the menu button or camera button
select what you want to do in your case its wipe cache
you go back using the power button and just select reboot and thats it
Hi all,
First, I am new to this Android thing and I don't know where else to post a such question.
But anyway, now on to my question.
I understand that rooting my device may brake the warenty, but if there is some other solution to the below problem, that would be great!
I am visually impaired and therefor me and others who are in the same situation rely on screen reading software, such as Spiel and Talkback that already exists in the market and they can be activated in the accessibility preferences of the phone after they have been installed.
In order for them to work, some text-to-speech engine has to be installed and the voice data for that as well, like Espeak.
The phones we have to use are the ones with physical qwerty keyboards and the ones that have physical arrow keys or a trackball. But now to my question.
Each time I have to do a factory reset of my Samsung Galaxy 5510 I must get someone sighted help me set up my Google account and then I can login to the market and install Spiel/Talkback and with some assistance enable the accessibility preferences.
This is really anoying. SO my question is, would it be possible to integrate these programs into some rom or maybe backup the phone so that I can restore it from a PC or maybe with some application that can be launched from the phone and then I select the image file, like a backup program and then all my settings are back.
I really apologize if this is the wrong forum, but any help is really apreciated since I know that several others are facing the same problem.
What do you think?
Could this be something to look at?
may I ask why you are doing a factory reset so often?
or do you just mean you upgrade to a new rom?
anyway, it should be really easy to have these apps installed by default in any rom. I doubt they would work in the setup procedure but you could skip the setup and then add your accounts later, when the text to speech apps are running.
No, I am not upgrading the ROM and I am not doing a hard reset that often, BUT, if i would have to do that it would be great if the screen reader service, such as Spiel could be launched by default and I don't know if this phone can be upgraded.
A few things have been really annoying me a bout the S4 and for me it has been a security risk and annoyance.
Where is the personal dictionary for the keyboard?
How can I wipe it?
How can I prevent it picking up new words?
Thank you for your time to read and answer.
Go to applicaiton manager, select samsung keyboard and clear all data, that should do it.
For 1 whole year I regularly contacted Swiftkey by email and their facebook page and asked to fix this and they never fixed it, the biggest issue/bug is, Swiftkey is taking COPIED text as TYPED text. It should take typed words only (this is big reason behind inaccurate/unneeded word prediction). Could you do something about it?
Below is the email i wrote to Swiftkey and they never implemented or fixed these in their recent versions.
:
Improvement idea #1:
This is the big reason behind incorrect/inaccurate word prediction.
I was a die hard fan of Swiftkey until I realized that Swiftkey is taking COPIED text as TYPED Text resulting in unwanted prediction of words we already removed by selecting 'Do not predict xxxx'. STOP THIS PLZ
I checked this twice thrice and informing you. The problem is: Saving the words what we type is good but BAD/WORST part is, it also saves the words when you just copy text from other sources for example: Copying random text or paragraph from webpages, Ebooks and Documents. Those text are NOT TYPED by the user and those words GET COPIED to internal dictionary of Swiftkey which I don't like to be predicted while I type. I copy some text/paragraphs from webpages to read it later but it doesn't mean that I like all the words from that copied text/paragraphs and would not want those words predicted--as it can contain whatever words which i never typed and just copied it and while typing those words come across as prediction.
You can Experiment yourself.
1. Just copy the below words in a new note and save it. (do this on your android mobile not on PC) I would never use the below words ever.
2. Now, Suppose, you do not want the word 'Chateau' never ever to appear or predicted.
3. Open another new note and try to type 'chateau', you'll see 'chateau' appears in prediction bar. Long press the word 'Chateau', a message pop out saying 'Do not predict 'chateau' again.', hit 'OK.
4. Now, open the first note with all the below words saved and copy word 'Chateau' and see it will stupidly gets added to the dictionary of Swiftkey and you'll see them come across while you type.
Did you just observed ? You copied the word, you could have copied 2-3 paragraphs from the webpage which could contain more or few words which you never wish to type/use. it should not be added by Swiftkey.---this is exactly what is happening and it is leading to worst word predictions. Yes, if you rather type the entire word 'Chateau' then it should predict. Got my point ?

Improvement idea # 2:
I use Swiftkey's compact mode only to type and it is good in portrait mode. But in landscape mode, the other half screen is occupied with the empty space of keyboard. (Please check the attached picture).
Improvement idea # 3:
Sync from Whatsapp needed as many guys use whatsapp than facebook these days.
Improvement idea # 4:
Want to view dictionary words in each language and want to remove the words i never use.
Improvement idea # 5:
Shortcuts for cut, copy, paste like swype keyboard please.
Improvement idea # 6:
'Choose input method' notification bugging.
Improvement idea # 7:
Provide option to set flow trials color and width.
Could anyone fix atleast the idea #1 ? Swiftkey team is waste they give irrelevant replies to our emails, they never carefully read what user is saying.
Thank you,
Athar
Done
Good post
What options need shut off to reduce memory usage.... Maybe add a few other check boxes with notes about memory savings

I thing I manage to disable the method that executes learning from text copy. Try it and let me know how it works.

I LOVE IT. Thank you very much for this mod. It's working 99% the 1% which is lacking is: It pridicts the word 'zyban' from the below list of unwanted words and that word force remains added when i delete it.

May be the word is the last one so remains force added?

I can easy add logging for you to watch what and when was blocked from learning in that particular method. The logcat message is displayed as array of all copied words. That way you can see if something else is not blocked as well. Just let me know...

I would love to let you know but i can't read those catlog or logfiles. I'm a noob and very far from being a dev. I tried to delete that word Zyban like 10 times, it is still there. Are you too facing the same?

I haven't played with it much so I can't answer your question. All I know is that pasted words are no longer added to swiftkey learned words.
