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.

Hi,

Welcome to Fixya. The underlining of text when writing happens when the Predictive Text option is Enabled. When in text mode you can use the Hash Key (#) under number 9 Key to change the case of letters or prediction.

Thanks for using Fixya.

or

Press and hold the # key

Go to 'Create new Message' and move down into the text box.
Press and hold the * [star] key for about 2 seconds and the format should change to predictive text and remain that way. if you want to change the letter case press the * key very briefly.

hope that solves it
