Predictive text can i switch my qwerty board on my lg neon to predictive text? at the moment i must type very letter individually

Based on your description, what you are referring to is called T9 Predictive Texting. It allows words to be entered by a single keypress for each letter, as opposed to the multi-tap approach used in the older generation of mobile phones in which several letters are associated with each key, and selecting one letter often requires multiple keypresses. Example, when typing the word 'love' in a T9 activated phone, all you have to do is press the numbers 5, 6, 8 and 3 once in sequence. As compared to the regular texting, in order to complete the word 'love', you have to press the number 5 thrice, the number 6 thrice, the number 8 thrice, and the number 3 twice.
If you want to disable T9 predictive texting, it can usually be disabled by pressing and holding the hash or number key (#).
Hope this information is helpful.

Hi,

Welcome to Fixya. If you want to undo the preddictive text just follow the guide below.

1. From any text entry screen (ie. when you are writing a text message), press the top center button, the one above the directional wheel.

2. Press on Entry SetUp

3. Select the Primary Set Up or Secondary Setup by choosing your preferred input mode among the ones below. Us the wheel by pressing on the right arrow to change mode:

ITAP: it's a built-in software which predicts the word you are typing. THIS IS PREDICTIVE TEXT

TAP: enter individual letters and numbers by pressing the keys multiple times. Ie. for the letter F press the number 3 button three times.

Tap Extended: enter individual letters, numbers and symbols by pressing the keys multiple times

To change from one mode to the next you can select it by pressing the top center button from a text entry screen, and Press on Entry Mode. Shortcut: you can press the # key on your phone when you are writing a message and you will see abc1 for your primary mode, 123 for numeric; @ for symbols; and abc2 for your secondary mode.
If you have questions please let me know. Thanks for using Fixya.

The Alcatel OT-606 is a wonderful unit and with the full QWERTY key it will solve your problem of texting with the predictive texting turned off what you press is what you get on the screen and no letters will turn. Only you have to adjust to the shift keys and the punctuations.
Hope this solution is helpful?
Compliments of the season.

when texting push the hash ( # ) key ounce or twice untill the pencil at the top of the right hand screen has no line under it

good luck

I may be wrong but your talking about predicted text right? Where you type a letter and it comes up with a word instead of the actual individual letter? - you need to change your settings in text, you can simply hold # or * on your keypad (you should see a little icon somewhere saying T9, this means predicted text) after holding one of these buttons for about a second or two, it should disappear, allowing you to type without predicted text on.

Hope this helps,

ok so i might sound really stupid because the lg neon's keypad is for dialing only but yesterday i was like pressing a bunch of buttons on accident and like letters came up on the touch screen and like i pressed the end button to see if it will go back to normal and now i cant get it to get lit to text on the keypad i cant even believe it did it and it was totally by a mistake has this ever happened to anyone? 

You must disable your Predictive text option, T9® predictive text mode allows you to type words with only one keystroke per letter, and the phone interprets what word you want. For example, to type the, press 8, 4, 3. To enable/disable T9® predictive text mode, select Options. Scroll to and select Prediction on or off.

Try this. Touch Keypad simulates a wireless phone keypad on the touch screen to allow you to enter text, numbers, and symbols just as if you were using a wireless phone keypad. Touch Keyboard simulates a 20-key QWERTY (typewriter) keyboard on the touch screen to allow you to enter text, numbers, and symbols similar to the way you would using a QWERTY keyboard. To use Touch Keypad or Touch Keyboard:  In a program, tap the Input Selector arrow, and then tap Touch Keypad or Touch Keyboard. To type lowercase letters, tap the keys on the dial pad or keyboard. To type a single uppercase letter, tap the Shift key and then tap the corresponding key. To type all uppercase letters, tap the Shift key twice. To change back to all lowercase letters, tap again. To enter a space after the word, tap the Space key. To start a new line, tap the Enter key. To backspace and delete a single character in any input mode, press the Back key. To open the Symbol pad, tap the Symbol key. To change the input mode:  Tap the Input mode key to switch to a different input mode: XT9 (predictive), Multitap (abc), or Numeric (123).

Hope this helps, let me know if this works or if I can help you with anything else.

Well it's not so much a solution as it is an answer.

T9 is 9-key Texting. So it will only predict what you're going to type if you're using the 9-key triple tap mode of texting.

It WILL NOT intelligently select options of what it thinks you are typing on the QWERTY keyboard.

I've had this phone for less then a week & so far that would be my only suggestion for improvement. Otherwise, it's an awesome lil' phone for what I use it for.
