Cannot turn off predictive texting

morris108 — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 12:53:21 GMT

have a pro ics 587

I think it is since the 587 upgrade

I keep going to settings and making sure all the automatic texting functions are off - and they are!

Its particularly noticable in Google Talk

and a big nuissance

Can anyone please help?

I go to "settings" and then "Language & Input"

And I make sure "auto-replace" Auto-capitalisation, auto punctuate are all turned off - (No check in box)

Incidently Chinese keyboard and xperia japanes keyboard and xperia keyboard are all checked and there is no way to turn them off. And I think these three are all pre-installed.

Bought the phone on ebay - new

Google voice typing is off

persian soft keyboard is off (I think that is here because of something I installed)

at the same time as the predictive text appeared my google talk app stopped accepting a return as a way of sending the message, rather i now have to press an arrow on the right to send the message (This is no problem, just included in case it assists in knowing what is wrong).

Thanks - Look forward to a reply...

If unmarking the check-box for these actions doesn't sort it out, like they should, it sounds like it would be wise to try performing a repair of your phone's software.

You can easily perform the interaction with our program Sony PC Companion, available for download from the link below.
