The predictive text thing worked for me on .141 and also on .214. Never tried .225 but when I upgated to .246 it stopped working. I can change it to predictive but it does not seem to want to save. I had precisely the same apps on .214 as on .246.
This is totally bizarre! I bought a 2nd torch....the new one has predictive out of the box and with .225. The old one can't get predictive even when wiped and rolled back to the original OS. With the original OS, it can save predictive, but it still doesn't work. I can't fathom whats causing such behavior, but it seems some hardware must be involved, no?
It seems like I'm the only one who cares about this, but if anyone else cares going from .225 to.246 screwed up the predictive/direct options. Worked perfectly on .225. On .246 it got stuck..once once on predictive and once on direct (reloaded the OS). On rollback to .225 all is well again. Think I'll stick to .225 for a while!
