How do I get T9 or iTap on the Storm?
- I have .148 and I would like to have T9 or iTap as my text entry method. I know there was a way to do this on an early version. I think after .114 it stopped.
I prefer T9 over Surepress over QWERTY. Does anyone know how I can do this? If it requires a software upgrade, I am willing to pay money05-31-09 01:09 AMLike 0 - I have .148 and I would like to have T9 or iTap as my text entry method.

- SureType is basically an updated version of T9, idk why people have a problem with using it.

Plus since there are less buttons the buttons themselves are bigger thus preventing less errore of hitting the wrong key. But anyway I would pay 50 bucks right now for someone to develop this

I wish there was a way to turn it off completely. It wastes a lot of time when all these weird words come up.05-31-09 09:51 AMLike 0 - The problem with the BB version is that it gives you all kinds of wierd variations on the typed word.

for example, if you start typing "monkey", you get:
monkey
monkeys
monkeyed
monkeypox
mobjet
monket
monkry
donkey
money
Monet
T9 is smarter and wouldnt create these words. I mean, monkeypox? even if that is a word, who uses that? T9 would just show monkey and donkey (since T9 has 3 letters per button its more precise)06-02-09 10:25 PMLike 0 - T9 was a glitch that was corrected in subsequent OS's. If you're running .75, it should still work. As posted by jnorchanian:
From the menu do the following in order:
Options > Localisation(Language for VZW) > Input Options
Predictive Input
Spell Check
Both of these will be default enabled. Uncheck both, and then recheck them. Back to options menu
Now go to Screen/Keyboard >
Portrait View Keyboard = Multitap (Reset to multitap if it already selected)
If you have upgraded to a newer OS, unfortunately T9 will not work and nor is there an app available (as mentioned by fireball).06-02-09 10:55 PMLike 0 - Well can't someone "un-correct" the glitch? Maybe one of those guys that do the hybrid OS or something. I'd hate to go back to .75 but I think I might have to.
Unless there is a way to remove all the excess words that suretype comes up with.06-03-09 02:03 PMLike 0 - 06-03-09 02:24 PMLike 0
- As with any new device, sometimes there is a learning curve.
To be perfectly honest, I had gotten very used to using T9. When I got the storm, it took some time to adapt to suretype. Its not that bad. I know many of you out there disagree and just want to use T9. Unfortunately, as of right now, it seems you will have to be running on a much earlier OS to be able to use that.
Change isn't always bad...06-03-09 03:08 PMLike 0 -
The upgrades from after .75 to .148 are not so significant for me that it requires me to lose T9. So I am willing to downgrade to .75 just for T9. I am not however, willing to downgrade to a Dare or something else.06-04-09 02:13 PMLike 0 - Yeah I had T9 when I had .75.....and I think I will downgrade from .148 to .75
I cant stand the stupid words suretype comes up.06-11-09 09:38 PMLike 0
