Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

That should work

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

no also can I DOWNLODE CHOMPSMS TO MY PC THEN TRANSFIRE IT TO MY PHONE AND HOW DO I DO THIS

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

You download it to the phone not to a computer.

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

You just get chompsms (like all other android apps) from Android Market on your smartphone (preferably over a wifi link).

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

read the manual that is on the microsd card that came with your phone.

He has been told this a few times in other threads.;)

Ground hog day :LOL:

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

Dude, you have been told a few times. You don't need a pc to install apps, use the android Market app on the phone to get the app and it installs straight to the phone.

Also as well as turning off prediction you should turn off auto correct. I leave that on though as it means I make less mistakes ;-)

You could also ask these questions in the same thread instead of starting new ones all the time.

This is your Groundhog day Stephen.:D

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

well thanks all your help I am now using the qwurty kaypoard on my phone as it's the only way I can get the predictive text off but when I use the phonekeypad the predictive text stay's on when I turn it off

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

You must not have done it right then as there are separate options for the qwerty and phone keypad and compact qwerty.

For qwerty there is prediction and spell correction you can tick or untick.

For phone keypad and compact qwerty underneath the above options there is spell correction and word completion you need to uncheck if you are using that option.

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

Pondering how I'd survive without predictive text..:)

unticked the spell correction and word completion for phone keypad didn't work so back to qwrty kaypad

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

Imo the qwerty keypad is better anyway for use on a smart phone.

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

I would rather use the qwerty keypad every single time much easier.:)

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

ok. I instailed chomp sms on my HTC desire how do I find it? Can't c it anyware on my phone

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

It's in the programme menu!

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

what programme menu![ and what will it come under?

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

You press the on screen arrow that brings up the list of apps and they are listed in alphabetical order! Not difficult really.

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

andrew, you may find perusing the manual helpful.

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

can't c it

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

Do you have a friend that can help you at all if so show them this thread.

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

no I am visualty impared CAN C HOW TO DO THING THE PHONEBUT CAN'T FIND THIS APP CHOMPSMS I HAVE DOWNLODED

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

I know that you are visually impaired that is why I asked if you have a friend that can help you as once you are shown how to use it you will be away.

Never worry about asking for help from a friend or even a relative that is what they are there for.:)

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

ok thanks I know how to work my phon but I can't fint this app when you dwonlode apps to your HTC desire where do thay go?

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

When you download them they install and are listed in the main menu, where all the apps are listed. You must know where that is?

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

i know how to work my phone when you downlode a app to your htc desire where dose it go and how you get it

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

Do you know the menu where all apps are? Installed apps are added there too!

Are you sure you can use the phone?

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

andrew,

hopefully this will help.

Step 1
http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/at...0&d=1293964888

then this will appear (all apps)
http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/at...1&d=1293964888

in alphabetical order.

If you wish to copy the app to one of your home screens, just press on the app, which will copy it to your home screen (you may have to move it to an empty slot on one of the home screens).

Good luck.

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

I do not have HTC so we need someone who does to answer that for you.

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

No offence meant, but you seem to be prone to misspelling (see post above), so that may be the cause, as my Google account works fine on my HTC Desire.

Try being slow and careful....

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

As I have said before due to your sight issues ask a friend or a relative to help, that is what they are for and you will be sorted in no time.

Re: How do I turn off predictive text on my HTC Desire?
 

Andrew, have you tried to read the manual I linked to earlier (or get someone to help you with it)?
