prevent a divorce

Smoggy

Morning All,

I have a problem with my android 2.2. I have visited a site that I shouldnt have and now when i type www. it always comes up as a suggested spelling, this is everytime I use the keyboard.

I have cleared all data from the browser and the custom dictionary,but this hasnt fixed it. Does anyone know where this is stored so I can nuke it and not get a beat down when she comes home

Thanks

Time to make a soul conversion and to pay a visit to the otherside when apples are not for eating. (and technology really works)

Android works, I just dont know how to work it

Haha this is hilarous. Anyway, I found this. It looks similiar to what you already tried but according to the introduction it gets rid of auto-complete information so maybe you missed something:

Is your phone rooted? I still don't have an android device, but I'm familiar with linux. That information is just stored in a file on the device somewhere. If you have your phone rooted you should be able to delete that file with relative ease....The problem would just be finding out which file it is. Is there not a "clear history" option in your web browser? Or the web browser settings somewhere?

Good work by the way. Best thread in ages.

I might have to look into rooting.

I dont think the issue is purely a browser issue, as if I use the keyboard when typing a message, and type www, there it is. Also as a test I added www.test into the dictionary, it said the "please change input method to android keyboard ...."

Sounded promising.
But no luck.

T - 3 for me

Did you try settings - language and keyboard - input settings - user dictionary and then delete the words?

Sure. Works for me (not that I've made the same mistake) but it definitely erases everything from my browser Skyfire

hmmm

I dont have input settings.

I have languages and keyboards - user dictionary, but this says there are no entries. I think this might be swype related ?

Smoggy

Just to clear this post up, I was surfing for the wife xmas pressies and dont want her to see the URL or it will give the suprise away

antodeco

Bring up the swype keyboard and click into its settings. There should be a custom dictionary in there!

Smoggy

OK - I have switched off the auto predict and now you can't see the offending URL.

Thanks for all the info.

Wait, it's swype?
Write the word, then press the swype key on it twice, it should ask you if you want to delete it!

Smoggy

cheers Bruno I will give it a whirl

In the HTC browser, there is an option under settings to clear history, form data, cache etc...

Press menu, more, settings...

Bob the Builder

Settings ---> Applications ---> Manage Applications ---> Swype(or other app) ----> Delete Data

KAGY

Try clearing everything then pressing back until browser exits. Clear everything again.

KAGY

Another thought, did you check your web history of your Google account

It must be a really bad present and he wants to delay the divorce until she receives it?

Bluefoam

Was the present some porn?

She might if it was a year's subscription to www.bigblackbutts.com...

Can you post the url here so I can check to see if the same thing happens on my phone?
