predictive text entry different?

8 replies · 3,559 views · Started 19 August 2007

So I've had my n95 for a few days now, and I just changed to a generic product code and v12 firmware. (from a T-Mobile V11)
however my predictive text is acting weird.
before if i wanted to change to the next word in the dictionary i would press down on the directional pad. since changing firmwares this now doesn't work, and i have to press the * key to change words.
the other option is that i have just gone and lost my mind, i'm not sure which yet.
anyone else noticed something similar to this?
Is there any option to change the entry method back to the previous one and I have just missed the option repetedly while checking?

Many Thanks

I used to use * to switch words, but never us the down direction.

Don't worry, you're not losing it. It's always been the "*" key to scroll through alternatives on the generic firmware.

so there is no way to switch it back? i guess when T-mobile update there version of the firmware i'll might switch back i guess, have to see how it goes..

If the old method was in T-Mobile firmware, I think that it may be in a firmware update provided by T-Mobile. Generally, it's not headach to use '*' instead.

Just done the same with my T-Mobile N95, and i can't use the down button anymore. Found it a lot easier as i was coming from a K800i, looks liek i'll have to get used to it :hmpf:

I debranded today and to be honest cant say ive noticed :/ if its gone though thats a bonus the pressing down thing was a major annoyance for me especially when using predictive text in a multi-line situation.

Oh, I've always used the down button.. I had no idea that it wasn't the standard way (since I'm on T-Mobile firmware).
