Help Calendar Predicitve Text??

[jtexfisher]

Question for calendar text entry. When I go to add an event and want to use an acronym as soon as I press the space bar it decides to "correct" the entry for me. For example BCBSRI becomes Binary. Grrr. Did I turn this on by accident or is that the way it comes programmed? Either way, is there a way to make it quit and accept the actual letters I type?

Thanks, Harold

Well if using T9Trace or T9Text (the 2 stock ones) you would manualy type your jumble of a word/acronym/abbr. and then *before spacing* tap the word as shown in red in the upper left corner of the keyboard. Same for Swype beta.

Hope that helps,
John

+1, as to that being what I find is about it for a solution as well. I sometimes need to remember to pay attention to the upper left side word.
Does anyone get double last words? If I enter an appoint like 10am dentist it frequently shows up as 10am dentistdentist. Weird.

Go to

Settings
Language and Keyboard
XT9 Text Input
Languages and Settings
English
Keyboard Input

Scroll to bottom of list and check Auto-Accept

That fixed it for me. You can also disable the auto correction there as well if you prefer.

Thanks all!

I tested all of these methods, all allow me to make gibberish calendar entries!
