Nokia :: N97 Text Prediction And Punctuation Marks
Feb 2, 2010
I've been using 6310i for a veeery long time .Recently I decided to buy N97.And I have a question concerning the Text Prediction feature.
Very often when I insert a word I'd like to use one of punctuation marks. For example a comma or a full stop.So after my desired predictive text is inserted I use the "1" button.
And if the punctuation mark is not what I want, e.g. a comma appears and I want a full stop then I press the * button repeatedly to get a desired punctuation mark.
Recently I installed Custom Dictionary application from Nokia Beta Labs.And when I edited a list of all custom words that have been added I was surprised to see that there were a lot of words with commas, full-stops, question marks at the end of exactly the same words.
So I made some tests.It seems that when you insert a desired word and you use the "1" button to insert a punctuation mark and then you use * - the words is automatically saved to the custom dictionary with this punctuation mark at the end.Do you think this is intentional or maybe I am using the feature incorrectly?
My sensation is not turning off its text prediction. I went to Keyboard settings > text input but there the ability to turn off prediction is disabled, I.e. I am not able to access that checkbox...what to do?I restarted my cell phone and tried but nothing happened..
When texting with the vivaz I have a problem closing a sentence with a word with nore than one option - home and good for example. On my old C902 I could select the word i wanted by toggling then by pressing the 1 key I would then toggle through the list of punctuation marks at the end of my desired word. On the Vivaz as soon as you hit the 1 key the word jumps back to the first optional word in the toggle list. The noly way I can find to avoid is to hit the arrow key then the 1key and toggle through again. This seems like a step backwards for me.Any ideas? Could SE take this on board for a future update? Particularly as the old phones worked.
Ive had my NNokia Lumia 820 approx 4-5 weeks and though Ive got no software problems with the phone, about a week ago, I noticed what looked like smudge marks on the underneath of the screen, at the top under the speaker and in the bottom left corner of the screen, about a third of the way up. I just happened to notice in the daylight today and have noticed that the marks are growing in sixe, especially the one in the bottom left corner, nearly halfway across the screen. I suspect its a build quality issue as Ive never had this issue with a phone before.
I like the prediction mode when I'm texting. However, one must turn it off to enter a word that's not in the dictionary.Is there an alternative to traveling through the long menu to do this? [Select "Options", "Predictive text", and then "Prediction off".]
I can not get word completion to work even if I select Prediction setting Word complet. On On my previous Nokia, if I part-typed a word with predictive text it would suggest likely words but the C3-01 seems reluctant to do so?
When I text, punctuation is added automatically after many words where they don't belong for some reason, like commas and periods. How do I correct? I have an LG G4 phone...
I bought this phone yesterday and everything seemed to be working fine until I tried to type a message. The slideout keyboard punctuation keys are mixed up. All the following characters are not responding correctly, e.g. I try to ut in a "period" and it types a "question mark", etc.() , . : ; ? ! @I called tech support and was told that I need to go back to factory settings and that I need to download an update, I just did that but the problem is not fixed
i can't hold the alt key and select a number or punctuation mark...meaning i can't type the what i want (#, !, ? etc) while holding the alt key (which was the norm before)now, if i have to select/type a number, or punctuation mark, i have to hit the 'alt' key first, and then the number/punctuation mark, which is very annoying as it slows down typing speed.i'm running on OS v5.0.0.296 (platform 5.1.0.82)
Don't know what happened but in iTunes when looking at my music folder, none of my music has checkmarks in the boxes.This happened yesterday, and as far as I know I didn't do anything to cause this.
I have over 5,000 songs in iTunes, and I cannot possibly have them all in my iPhone due to space constraints, so I usually have around 3,000 which will fit nicely along with all of my apps.I tried syncing the phone twice now but none of the music changes (which I think is good being that there are no checkmarks), and neither do the missing checkmarks in iTunes.Is there some way for me to get the phone to tell iTunes to check the boxes for the songs that are currently on the phone?
My 1020 is about 2 weeks old and at night I'm noticing about 3 areas on the screen that are significantly darker on black backgrounds. It makes the black areas look splotchy and is really only noticeable at night. These aren't dead pixels but what looks to be dark areas on the screen.
So my N79 is refusing to let me send text messages on the grounds that "Text Message: Not enough memory to perform operation. Please delete some data first". So I went through and got rid of a heap of stuff - songs, videos the kinda things that are big files, and still no change.
My phone memory has 368kb free and my memory card has 3734 mb of free memory.Was working perfectly fine yesterday with more data and my phone stores about 1000 messages pretty easily, several videos, songs etc..
I hate everything about this phone and i don't understand anything on this phone. I can't seem to be able to text a photo to anyone, not sure what I am doing wrong. My other phones I was even able to text a message to an email address this one doesn't let me.'I can hardly wait until September when I am able to get a new phone and I will never get another Nokia again.
Cannot for some reason see descriptive/text info on the main display when I have new SMS. I do see the display indicators for this in the top right of the phone but for some reason the text detail when a new text event happens seems to have disappeared. but i don't have this problem with missed call or new e-mail. i didn't have this kind of problem till today and i also didn't change theme or something else...i also tried a soft reset and nothing changed.
I can't find how to insert an "underscore" into any text on my new Nokia E63. As my e-mail address contains one it is impossible for me to access my e-mails.I am sure it's a very simple thing, but I just cannot find any reference to how to do it anywhere.
Have already n900 for 6months and have to say that I"m wery disappointed. one of the little things which just make me mad is why is not possible switch on the normal key board , so u can text just with one hand? at the moment everything and not only txt, u have 2 use both hands . Any chance to change this ?
I have a UK origin 5200 which I use to talk to friends and contacts in China. However it will not display chinese characters. Can I download a chinese font? If so does a 5200 use ttf fonts? If all else fails does any UK origin Nokia device support chinese?
My N97 won't alert me to new text messages. It is set to play a sound (message 1), and i've had it for months it used to beep normally but now it doesn't anymore. and the phone is not on silent. It doesn't show the new message icon either. Only way I know I've got a new message is by going into the messages screen and seeing the red inbox sign.
I have just recently got a Nokia X6 but cant seem to get the predictive text to work when using the qwerty keyboard. It works fine in the alphanumeric area. Am i missing a setting somewhere. Surely it must be able to be switched on or is there an app to sort it
I know ovi suite can export sms and stuff into a backup file but I need the sms exported as plain text into a txt or csv file. I found no option to do this in ovi suite Please can you add the possibility to export sms text and maybe some info about the sms (date, sender/ receiver)? I remember this was already possible in some of Nokia's old tools before ovi suite was launched.
I have a recurring problem with my N95 8gb, I can't send any texts. It started by sending the same text repeatedly until I deleted from the outbox. After a while I couldn't send texts at all, I get a error message stating that my memory is full which is not the case. I temporarily fixed this by deleting a message in my sent box and switching off the handset and when I turned on the phone again it would send the message. Although this was very annoying it worked normally for a while but now this method doesn't work anymore. What can I do to solve this? I've tried to update the firmware, tried both soft and hard reset. I have 85.3M empty RAM, 40,6M empty phone memory and 5,9gb empty on the mass memory.
