Hi

Does anyone know how to delete unwanted words from handcent or the stock messaging app?

Because of the predictive feature on the phone, I have inadvertently created words (Or whatever you want to call them) that keep popping up. This means I have to select the correct word from those offered.

i.e: Instead of a lower case lol, I'm getting LOL. Plus about another 20-30 odd words too.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hiya Wiggo!

On your home screen "menu=>settings=>language & keyboard settings=>user dictionary" and delete the words you don't want.

Hope that sorts it!! :)
