ok quick question.. is there a way to enable spell check, but disable the who correct?? the auto correct is extremely annoying when it changes words on you. how ever id like it to tell me if i miss spelled a word..

like i tried to write DL (down load) and it auto changed it to florida.. or i went to type Mo Williams, and auto changed to Month Williams.

i came from a storm and the storm would underline miss spelled words but not auto correct it.

i played around with all the settings.. cant get it to just spell check with out auto correction.. are there any apps?
 
If you go into settings>language and keyboard>touch input>text input

there is a setting "spell correction" i am not sure if that will help but turn it on/off and test. You can also turn off prediction which might do what you want it to.

i tried every possible combination of those settings and it was either everything.. or nothing.. i dont get it

This is the process for Karbonn Titanium S5 that I own. I wish, it is same for all the other android smartphones.

Settings->Language & Input-> Spell Checker (check or uncheck as per your need)

If the problem still prevails, then try this.

Settings->Language & Input-> Android Keyboard-> Click the icon on its right.

Next, go to Text Correction->Auto-correction-> Set the radio button to off.

That's it. Hope the answer.

In the same settings screen, you can also change various other options such as disable/enable:

  • Vibrate on keypress
  • Sound on Keypress
  • Popup on Keypress
  • Voice input key
  • Show correction suggestions
  • Gesture typing
  • Advance Settings


Thanks for your time.
