Adding words to the T9 dictionary


Recommended Posts

I know, I know, this one is in the manual but...

When you try to enter a word that is not in the T9 dictionary, and have to enter it the old way (multitap), it is automagically added to the T9 dictionary. You don't actually have to select anything for that to happen.

Cheers, was wondering how to add words (specifically "lol") and where my manual went... :D

Follow up: You need to press space after entering the word on something like MSN :D

Now power cycle your phone and it'll forget lol & MSN...

Or at least mine does.

Definitely forgets words on a power cycle.

Additionally, trying to teach it lots of words is bad... (like teaching it russian). The space for learnt words is limited and what it does (allegedly from the docs) is when the space is full and you do a new word it'll forget the least used user word and add your new one.

Haven't tried the new update to see if it remembers across a power cycle.

Sorry for being stupid (after months spent on the forum..), but I assume the power cycle is when you turn it OFF and back ON, right?

correct... not talking hard reset, just normal power off and back on.

After updating I'm having trouble getting the damn thing to learn any words _at all_ :?

It does seem to be luck whether it learns a word or not - it forgets some when you power cycle it but not others!

My T9's well and truly up the creek, looks like hard reset time. Again.

I've got the Canary diagnostics screen etched on my retina, I've seen the damn thing so many times these last few days ;)

Hi guys,

This might be in the manual but can I get to use the T9 in any other modes? e.g. filling in appointments, making notes rather than sms? I don't do much sms, you see. :?

Press and hold "#", whenever the "abc" icon is in the title bar. That'll switch between the text input modes.

Oops sorry, I knew what i meant.

Either way its one of the few things actually in the manual so shouldn;t need to be asked really ;)

Would it be possible to get into the T9 dictionary somehow and manually add new words?

Thanks guys! I just used to press the * key once( not press n hold) which just cycles through caps, lowercase and capslock! Thx! 8)

OSPS do have a bit of a reputation I have to say...

In general, online phone shops are good, the biggest problem I find is the networks' own websites, doing deals that put simply nobody else can match.

It's a very weird situation...

I never spend enough for Orange to do me a deal apart from "try another network" :)

I had to phone Orange for a grumble last week, and got an Indian call centre.

The dude clearly couldn't understand what I was trying to tell him, I actually go so frustrated I hung up on him in the end, called back and got a very helpful Geordie lass.

Turns out Orange still sucked when it came to dealing with my issue, but that's more and more par for the course nowadays :)
