LG

when i text on my chocolate using WORD the phone does not memorize the words that i type in. So every time i text i have to manually put in the words that are not saved in the phone. This is really annoying and would appreciate any help! THANKS

Thanks for your post! I am researching this and will post up when I have an answer.

I have that happen occasionally. When you realize a word isn't in the "library", delete it completely, the go to abc and type it in from scratch so-to-speak. If you try to edit part of the word it won't store it in the library.

my first lg choclate 8550's "word" worked perfectly but i broke it and just received an Asurion replacment and the "word" program works like crap, it doesnt remeber words you type in. the only time it does is if they are already in the message your typeing. but as soon as you go to a new message it forgets them. its so frustrating!!!

p.s i tryed what the gal above me said and it didnt work

Is there a way to default to "Word" when starting to text? Currently I have not been able to find it, I know my older LG phones made it very easy to default to T9.

I don't have a chocolate handy to walk through but most LG phones I've had are set up basically the same..
Go to Menu
Messaging
Settings
Entry Mode and change to T9Word.

The steps may be slightly different-you may need to go to messages like you are actually going to send one, then you may see Settings or Options on the bottom of the screen and that list should have Entry Mode that you can change to T9 input or word.
Good luck-hope that helps.

Ok, it's been over a year since the defect was reported here. It doesn't take a year to resolve an issue like this.

No it doesn't take a year to resolve an issue like this, but it does take time to get the info to the right people and help them understand that it is a priority and is important to our customers... Like I mentioned in another thread, I'm new to this position but I believe I have already made some head way to get this information in the correct hands.

LG chocolate can automatically "memorizes" new words that are not in the dictionary.just type in the word in "abc" mode, the phone memorizes this word and the next time you try to send an SMS, you can use "Word" to type in." I'm not sure how many new vocabs the phone can memorize. by the way it also allows you to type in names in your contact list.

Hi LG,

It has now been 2 years since the first post on the thread, not just 1 year.

Instead of just understanding that you're a liason and are forwarding the information to development and the right people, can we request a reply from them? This issue is so frustrating for people locked in to 2 year contracts who don't have the money to buy a different phone. And it's embarrassing when my phone remembers the word "didn't" for 30 days and then I send a text saying "diem't". It makes me look like an idiot. I don't understand why the touch doesn't have an actual editable dictionary like other phones. I understand everything you've written, but in all honesty, that doesn't bring me closer to understanding the reason for a deficiency like this. This phone is ridiculous. Let's say I accidentally type rybn instead of ryan. There's no way to delete rybn, and that's what will pop up from now on in my T9.

That doesn't even make sense! What is being done to fix this problem, since it's not just an oversight, it's an actual problem.
