This has been an ongoing problem for a while now.
At first I tried to ignore it. Thinking to myself he will change, stop getting involved, interrupting. He has even been sending PMs on my behalf. :(
Davenport whoever you are. Leave me alone :mad:
I can longer take this abuse in silence.
So I'm turning to you for help.
As I think this could be a deliberate plot to discredit anyone called Dave. By Apple. :mad:
Every time I sign my name on this bloody iPad it auto spells Davenport. Why won't it learn I'm Dave. :mad:
I don't want to turn auto complete off, as I feel that would be allowing Davenport to win.
And I don't think I could live with the stigma.
Please help,
Thanks,
Davenport.
I'm absolutely sick and tired of the abuse.

I was torn between Motorolas xoom and this. I'm happy with my choice. -

10-06-11, 11:23dave1daveYou have no idea how irritating it is to have to move my finger an extra few inches everytime to cancel the auto complete :oQuote:

See an ad for it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5xW3NhdjqI
The quality of the materials is not as good as the Xoom / ipad but it is about 100yoyo cheaper. -
10-06-11, 12:41doodlebugCheck out the Archos internet tablets, it is a french firm, better known for their multimedia tablets, first to produce tv tuner etc in media players. They have a few higher spec tablets at reasonable prices. archos.com available in some retailers here in Ireland.Quote:

OK, seeing as you insulted me I'm going to ask you did you check the keyboard language seeing as you bought it in the States?
Settings,
General,
Keyboard,
Should be English (UK) ?
If it isn't hit Add New Keyboard and you guessed it, select English (UK), spells Dave perfectly on mine with no Auto correct :p -
10-06-11, 22:39dave1daveNope English uk.Quote:

I don't have an iPad, but the predictive text on my phone is annoying to. I once failed to spot that Sainsburys had come out as Painsctrys, and sent it. It now thinks Painsctrys is a real word and keeps offering it to me. I have to press '*' to get it to find Sainsburys - I know it's only one button, but it's annoying. I can't find anywhere to customise my dictionary.
My cousin was told with her Apple machines to make sure she tapped the x on the auto correct word that pops up. After the 3rd or 5th time it will not correct it anymore. Don't know if that will work for you. -

Just remembered I should update this.
Davenport has now been well and truly banished from my life :D
A big Thank You to Doodlebug for coming up with a link to an app called autoCorrector. It works brilliantly.
Cheers Doodlebug,
Dave.
