My Nokia won’t remember dictionary additions

Screenshot0004

Small things. Really pissing me right off.

My Nokia E90 — the new one I got the other week thanks to Vodafone — is completely up to date with the right firmware. I didn’t have to flash it. But it won’t remember any dictionary additions.

I keep on having to program in my name every sodding time I use it.

It’s winding me right up. Anyone else getting this?

  1. I am actually having a similar issue with the N95 I have been using. Sometimes it will remember words and sometimes it won't. It's gotten very annoying and to a point that I want to get another phone.

  2. Jeb, we're of the same mind. It is highly, highly, highly annoying. I
    don't know how these handsets can get something so STUPIDLY basic, wrong.
    I'm pretty sure it's not something I've done!

  3. Steve, sadly, yeah. I'm hitting 'Spell', spelling the word… then when I
    come to write it again, the device has forgotten it. It's really
    infuriating when you're spelling a long word — like 'smstextnews'. You end
    up having to delete the gibberish and start again once you find it's not in
    the dictionary.

  4. Ewan, I think it's a phone glitch. I know the phone has the capabilities to remember my name but sometimes it knows what I'm spelling and other times I have to reinput my name. This is especially bad if your someone like WhatleyDude who doesn't even look at the screen or keypad when sending a message (he's just that experienced and fluid with T9).

  5. Aye,
    I actually got a text from him telling me he was 'in a very long Steve' this
    evening, Jeb.
    Took me a while to recognise that 'Steve' is the equivalent of 'queue' on
    T9. Not dictionary related, but thought I'd share 😉

  6. Now that's pretty funny. I'm impressed that you were able to figure that out and didn't just sms him back asking him what in the world he was talking about.
