  8. Hi Hannah – do you know how to turn off predictive text permanaently? It keeps coming on when I try to highlight word by word (i.e. holding shift + ctrl)
    Thanks and keep up the good work.

  9. Really! How to disable the predictive text permanently? Or at least leave it for English contacts only?

    They have introduced a new feature. But as usual at the beginning of products life cycle have deliberately made it incomplete. As they say to leave space for improvement.

    The predictive text should be aware of which contacts are written messages in English, which in Russian and which in Latvian.

    There are times you have to quickly answer the message and there is no time to dig around submenus to find the way to disable the debil word predictions.

    E.g. you write Latvian |to| – |uz| and predictive text writes Uzbekistan… It becomes |very| handy if you want somebody to write directions quickly.

    Same thing I would say any Windows application. Why Windows setting changes language for programs windows and not for each chat message window or word document individually?

    If you chat with several people you always write few letters in gibberish before realize the language is not correct.

  10. Hey! Do you know how to make symbols in the message in E63? Like for example “♥” or a “♦”. I could really use the help.
