with a dash of humor

I just got a new Dash. Yay! for me... and you I assume.

Okay. has anyone found out (or wanted to) turn off the prediction strip at the bottom of screen when typing something. I have to always press the spaceba- button twice. Once to accept the word, and another for a space. But only sometimes.

It's got a a full keyboard. I just want to type..... or maybe i just curse to much for XT9.

<------- now it's the Dash!

when in a txt field (eg writing an email) if you hold alt and press space you get the option to switch from Xt9 (which I agree is a POS) to abc which is normal input.

You might have to do this in a few places (email field, IE address bar, IR form etc) but once you switch it off in all those places it stays off.

Nice! Thank you very much. I've tried everything. Holding #, alt...ect This makes it perfect!

I wish it would stay off once you've done that, but it doesn't. While your using whatever you've shut it off in, it'll stay off, and maybe the next time you use the same program it will remain off -- but eventually it creeps back, always after a reboot and often without. With luck, a future ROM update will allow you to just shut it off.

I am using an unbranded HTC Excalibur and i have no such thing as text prediction on the bottom (I guess you seeem to call it XT9?). May it be so because you have a T-Mobile Dash?

yeah I think xT9 was the brainchild of T-Mobile all right :)

@ chaznet

Your right, just noticed after a restart xT9 seems to re-enable its self (I don't restart too often).
