Reset autocomplete dictionary
 
Hi guys,

I was mulling around trying to workout how to remove my dictionary autocomplete words when I came accros this thread for the n810. So I tried to apply the same method for my n900 to remove the autocomplete dictionary. It took a bit of finding but this is the solution.

- Warning, Using X Terminal and the following commands can be dangerous and cause errors to your system. If you are unsure what you are doing Do Not Proceed -

1. Open X Terminal, type following. Note this IS case sensitive.
Code:
cd .osso/dictionaries
rm .used.dictionary
rm .personal.dictionary
2. After this goto Settings > Text Input > [Uncheck] Word Completion > Save
3. Then re-open Settings > Text Input > [Check] Word Completion > Save

For some reason the Conversation app seems to store the dictionary in a cache.

Hope that helps some of you out. Nokia in both generations of OS' now - Symbian and Maemo - havn't made a clear path for deleting auto-complete words. It's quite annoying..


Edit: Added the Settings uncheck/check.

do we hit enter after each line of code we enter?

This removes the dictionary cache and not the dictionary itself correct?

Yep - in fact I seem to have removed some of it but not all of it. It has, at least, removed the bit that was mots annoying!

Jessi: Yes =]

Kathy: According to mars the personal is one time used words waiting for insertion. Used is like the full cache. Did you do the check/uncheck part Kathy?

I noticed that my Yahoo! mail password was added to my .personal.dictionary file. I tried the steps outlined in this thread but the file was consistently recreated every time I re-enabled word completion. Needless to say, this is very disturbing behavior. I tried restarting the device, and the text string continues to be reinserted. I have since disabled text completion.

Wow, I just discovered that my password for gtalk / gmail is presented as an autocomplete word - every time I press q (which is what my password starts with) it displays my entire password as an autocomplete option. I presume this is a bug. I'll try post my first bug report (if it isn't there already)...
