BlackBerry® PlayBook™

Hi,

Am I just a total **bleep** or did OS2 NOT come with the predictive text.  I've tried every single native app.. no predictive text.  Do I need to turn it on?.. if so where?  I've looked in setting/language and setting/keyboard..... nothing...

Hi there,

It did indeed come with predictive text. To make sure you have it, go to Options > Keyboard. The fourth entry down should be "Show predictions and suggestions" and it should be on.

Do you see that, or not?

[bickerin]

I do see "Show predictions and suggestions" in the keyboard setting.  I've toggled it on and off countless times; yet I still can not get any of the apps to predict or suggest.

Yes it's there.

Open to compose a blank email.

In the body, as you type, just above the keyboard you will see the predictive typing choices.

You should also see it in the Documents To Go app. It isn't in all apps, but it is in many.

Well then lol, I guess my update is broken.  I have everything turned on in the keyboard settings; but I have no predictive text in any apps, not docs to go nor email apps.  Actually my keyboard doesn't even pop up when I click the text areas or input boxes.  I have to pull the keyboard out myself.  And 10% of the time, I'll accidently pull the Home Screen out instead..... quite annoying

OK!!! I've found the problem.  My Blackberry 9810 has been bridged to my Playbook the whole time.  The "Use Remote Control" function on the phone is blocking the predictive text  AND the keyboard pop up.  So if this happens to you, heres why.  But much to thanks everyone!

Ahh, awesome! And good info to know as I'm sure others will have the same issue!

Thanks for providing the solution!
