I don't know about you but even with a QWERTY keyboard, I still have apprehensions with having to type antidisestablishmentarianism on the Nokia E63. Today while playing with the phone, I suddenly (re)discovered the predictive text feature.
In notes, Create SMS, email or whatever, press the left selection key and go to Input Options --> Predictive text --> On. As you type a word, the phone will try to guess what you are trying to type. To accept the suggestion, just press spacebar. If not, keep typing and the phone will continue to try guess the rest of your word. It's quite nifty, especially if the phone is learning words as you go along. Does it? not sure. Anyway.. try out this feature and next time you need to use a 21 character word, you'll smile to yourself as you save heaps of time
gday
ReplyDeleteI just noticed something about my E63 keypad last night. For some reason I can't type the equal symbol "=" with the "o" key. The only way I could do it is by going into the character selection option. Anyone else having the same problem? or is my phone stuffed already?
I have no problem with my keypad. Maybe you should bring the phone for check up!
ReplyDeletei've had the same problem withthe phone and i recently purchased it as well. i went to the store the next day to exchange it only to find the new phone had the same problem... no one seems to work out whats going on. however, with my friend's phone the = key does work.
ReplyDeleteLoving this predictive text, I had seen it, but hadn't bothered turning it on. Will save heaps of time!!
ReplyDeleteAny idea how to remove words from the predictive text suggested lists?
ReplyDeleteNo predictive text facility on my E63. Does anyone know why?
ReplyDeleteNone on mine either, followed the instructions above and only have language option
ReplyDeleteI helped a friend with this today as she apparently had the same problem.
ReplyDeleteSOLUTION = Home/Tools/Settings/General/Personalisation/ Language and Predictive Text on/off is the third option down.
To gain access to the predictive txt in the message area you must be in the message space not the contact area.
ReplyDeletei am not able to type underscore symbol in my messages...please help
ReplyDeleteJust pres Chr button and underscore is here.
ReplyDeletehow to type underscore? been searching it. cant really find it. im using E5 nokia.
ReplyDeleteNokia E5: Press Shift and space at the same time.
ReplyDeleteIf it's just giving you 'writing language' as an input option, make sure your typing bar thingy is in the actual text message, not the contact part (who to send the msg to) ie. click down & try again and the above screenshot with the predictive text option will come up :)
ReplyDeletewhy is it everytime i use my kepad and im gonna use the '?' key, it displays '.'and using shift+k is the '?'... help me pls
ReplyDeletepredictive text is helpful that's for sure, but when you're searching in google, it restricts you being able to move down to hit the search button. So you need to toggle in and out of it.
ReplyDeletethus I normally leave it off
Predictive text on the E63 is perhaps the pinnical of development on any phone. Awsome that it allows switching in and out of it so eaily with simply pressing Ctrl then pressing spacebar (one after the other so you can do it with one hand too)
