TIP: Delete Words Saved in T9 Dictionary

T9 is a great way for quick text input and often has "learning" capabilities, but often times it gets annoying especially when it predicts custom words you've typed before and gives those words more priority then common words such as "is", "it" and "to", which is used in almost every sentence.

I've always just either bared with it or reset my phone, but there's a simpler alternative. Delete the "memory" of the T9 dictionary in your phone and presto, all those wierd and random words you only wanted to use once are now gone!

NOTE: Custom words you did want to keep will be wiped out as well.

To do this you'll need a decent file explorer that allows you to see system files, such as LCG X-plore (shown below), ActiveFile, FExplore and so on. Choose the one you're comfortable with.

After you've installed the file manager, so to the file path as shown below and delete that .dat file. (this is the file T9 stores it's "memory")



and that's it. Your T9 dictionary will be good as new. Alternatively you could copy this file and back it up, to save your T9 settings and words. Happy texting, and Merry Christmas everyone!
