Help Please to disable predictive text on Samsung IIIs smart phone

[jimbo45]

Hi there
I'm struggling with an android app from Goole Play store
Everything was fine until it asked me for my name and then switched to predictive text mode.

How do I DISABLE this wretched thing -- every time I enter something it inserts all sorts of letter I don't want.

Other apps are fine - just key in normally but how do I KILL the predictive text.

Phone is Galaxy Samsung IIIs great phone except for this WRTECHED PREDICTIVE Text "Feature" which I can't seem to get rid of.


Hi there again --Found it --- case of "RTFM !!!!!!.

Cheers
jimbo

Hi there
yes but I'd bought the phone in Belgium (as they are always unlocked --it's illegal in Belgium to supply a phone that's locked --even on contracts) and the set up language was in Dutch -- It took me a while to switch the languages .

Cheers

Hi there.
predictive text has always been a nuisance, my wife has predictable text, i can usually guess what its going to say, ie, when are you coming home the kids are doing my head in, or can you pick up some milk.
i prefer the old method of talking and can recommend a landline. failing that
try the new goldstriker iphone 3g supreme, that has tha ability to turn off predictive text and turn heads also
