BB (RIM) :: BB Bold 9700 - Cannot Disable Predictive/auto Text Function
Jun 3, 2010
I've tried going into: Options>SMS>Disable Auto Text>Save. It doesn't work. Is there another way to disable this fucnction? I get tired of seeing the box with word suggestions as I type messages.
There's no auto phone book function in 9700? For example, I saved a contact 12345678. Hence, from the main screen when I pressed 123, the contact I had saved earlier didn't show up. Is that a common problem of 9700?
The predictive text input method was turned on before, but now it is turned off and I want to turn it back on. All of the help instructions include steps and/or menu options that are not available on my phone. For example, I can do Options, Language and Text Options, but "Show Text Input Options" does not appear. I also cannot get to the referenced check box anywhere for Predictive Text Input. Can anyone help please?
i had the new bold yesterday, when i recieve a test or blackberry message it opens straight away when i take it out of the leather case! how can i stop that?
I seem to remember seeing this somewhere before, is there a way to disable the annoying auto-suggest feature during voice dialing? You know, when you voice dials and the automated voice comes off saying "next time say name... "
So,I'm using blackberry 9700 running on OS 6A past ago, I'm using OS 5, backup, and restoring my autotext to my new OS (OS 6) so easy. Just restore it.Now I already use OS 6, and changed frequently to new OS 6 to fix bug etc. I got frustated how to restore my autotext from OS 6 to my new OS 6.I only got "Autotext data version 1", and if I restore it, my autotext like a mass, everything corrupted But,if I restore autotext data from my old OS 5 to my new OS 6, it works
I suddenly lost predictive text function. When i tried to reactivate i could not.I DO NOT HAVE SHOW TEXT INPUT OPTION when i go to settings>language and input
Brand new devices.I have a problem with auto complete text. Once I transfer language from eng to other language with the keyboard shortcut (alt+enter ) the auto text stops working. Furthermore, the option box just disappears from the menu (options - text and languages ) !. Reset by battery removal fixes the problem.But, onces you repeat the above action the auto text complete disappears again...Some bug is there.... tried it with all 5 devices of my office.I contacted my provider- they were not aware of the problem and I demonstrated it to them. They dont know how to solve it...
I send messages thru Skype and Test Message apps, in foreign language that is not listed as supported and autocomplete forces the words from English in my messages. Is there a way to disable that?
no autofocus . Even in camera mode, pressing BB icon suppose to give Auofucus (as in Help), but the Autofocus option not even in menu. Camera does not autofocus at all
i'm stumped and looking for some help. So my password in enabled on 9700 but I can't disable it. Disable does not show up in scroll menu and all i can do is enter password and change password.
I have a Bold 9000 that started out with the original Rogers operating system some time in 2008. I've upgraded it through various 4.6 (or is it 4.7?) OS versions and I'm now on 5.0.0.662 (I haven't gone to .681 yet mostly because I keep forgetting). On every single version of 5.0 I've tried (Wind, Azercell, etc) I have run into two problems.
1. The camera takes pictures that are way too bright when using the flash. It's like it doesn't reduce the exposure time when the flash is on - almost every flash picture is totally white. This happens in auto flash and when you force the flash on. Pictures without the flash work the way you'd expect them to.
2. I can't snooze the alarm using a side key while it's in the holster any more. The alarm ringtone starts playing, I press the volume up or down key while the phone is still in the holster. On OS 4.6, this would cause the alarm to snooze for ten minutes. On OS 5.0 it just restarts the alarm sound! Totally pointless. This is especially annoying for me as I need to take pills on a 12 hour basis and so I have alarms going off at least twice a day, every day.
Disclaimer: I know I will get some heat for this topic but I really did search for answers before posting and never got the answer I'm looking for.As I'm typing in BB Messenger for example, my mispelled words are underlined but not replaced. I also get an option to change it to a correct word but I have to press the middle button to do so. The last time I had a blackberry in 2008 (Pearl), I think it was called T9 or something, but it automatically replaced my mispelled words as I typed. How can I enable this on my Blackberry Bold 9700?
My right function key has a function assigned to it, but is not working. The left one is fine, but not the right. Is it possibly locked for some reason, or just not working?
When I switch on the camera application the track pad doesn't zoom anymore like it used to. The track pad on the screen shows only the + sign on top of the tracking pad but the - sign has disappeared, in the panel it shows zoom at 1.0x. I have pressed the accessory bottom and the function for zoom in and out have disappeared as well. The letter commands on the key board for zooming in and out don't work either. I would appreciate any assistance I can get.
Ever since I updated the softward on my device (about a week ago) my lock function doesn't work. I have set all the same securities as before (Options/Password/Enable) however when I push the "Lock" button on the top of the device it only locks they keypad. If I push it again it simply unlocks the device, it does not prompt for a password. I have to wait for the device to reach it's security time out before there is a password prompt to unlock.
I just noticed after only a week of having 9700, that I have a very thin surface scratch on my track pad. It's not something that you can even really see unless you move it back and forth under a light (and I'm not that vain) but it got me wondering about the possibility of deeper scratches possibly affecting the function of the track pad?? I have babied this thing for the last week, and still got a fine surface scratch, so more heavy usage could possibly result in deeper scratches down the road. Although a very fine surface scratch might not affect the function, could a deeper one affect it?? And if that happens, how easily can the track pad be changed out by a local technician (or yourself)?
I have a question for who is using that function. When we listen to a voicemail through this application will it be played on the speakerphone or through the handset ?
I can't Zoom when using trackpad and also Volume up/down, Buttom 3 and 9 also cannot.I am able to ZOOM when I first bought it but then after that I can zoom 1x 2x anymore after 1 month of using.Can someone advise how can I set back the ZOOm function.I tried all OPTIONs field and still cannot.
Is there a way to disable the lock and mute buttons on the top of the BlackBerry Bold 9700? I just received my new windshield cradle that grips it from top and bottom, and the buttons are invariable pressed accidentally for a variety of reasons. Perhaps an application that can shut them off, or some type if setting?
I like using the predictive text feature. However it doesn't always show up, and yes I have it enabled. If I send a text or an email it works without any problems. But when I use the google search widget or anything else that isn't text or email it doesn't show up. Basically if I'm using the keyboard but not typing a text message or an email the predictive text doesn't show up.
I bought a defender for my BB9700 and works great, only thing is I try to lock the keys outside of the holster but it'll unlock on it's own. Not sure what happened checked all my settings and still does it. Can anyone shed some light?
Been a while since I posted on here but I just got my new 9700 last week. Is there anyway I can disable the top buttons? I listen to a lot of music and when the phone is in my pocket I keep muting the music by accident and its really annoying.Glad to be back! Been on a dumbphone for almost a year now but the 9700 is surpassing all my expectations!
