Therefore, let's figure out how to activate or disable T9 on your equipment, and what alternative versions there are to optimize typing.
Enable or disable T9 on Android
To manage the operation of the dictionary on equipment with this operating system, you should follow these instructions:

- Select the required keyboard, click on “Intelligent input”;
- A menu will open in front of you, where there will be a line to enable/disable the dictionary - use it.

If you do not want to use T9, then you need to install an alternative input panel, which is done as follows:
- Go to the Google Play Market application;
- Enter the combination “Russian keyboard” in your native or English language in the search;
- You will see a list of programs with alternative versions of typing panels, which have simple keyboards that work without autocorrect;
- Choose an application to your liking and install it;
- Go to settings, in the “Language and keyboard” section, select the installed input panel.

It can be downloaded from the same store for Android users. After installation, go to your hardware settings and enable the app's keyboard.
There is another good opportunity to improve the input panel. If you don't like the dictionary, you can always download other versions from the network and install them on your device.
If you want to quickly enable or disable predictive input, regardless of the Android model, you should follow these steps:
- Go to any program that uses text input;
- In the input field and hold for a few seconds - a window will appear in front of you to select the operation of the keyboard, in normal mode or via T9.

T9 mode – popular and convenient
“T9” technology (an abbreviation for the English words “Text on 9 keys” - text on 9 buttons) was invented in the USA in the 90s, and was originally intended for standard 3x4 keypads.
The inventor of this technology is considered to be Cliff Kashner from. This technology was first implemented in the Sagem MC850 phone, sales of which began back in 1999. At the same time, T9 technology had to actively compete with similar functional analogues “iTap” (Motorola), “SureType” (RIM), “Tauto” (Intelab), and, in the end, gain worldwide recognition.
A key feature of T9 is the ability to predict a word when typing it by letter. Since each phone button usually has 3-4 letters associated with it, using such a system can significantly save time when typing the text we need. The system records the frequency of words used by the user, and the next time you type, the “popular” words will be one of the first suggested.
With the improvement of technology, she learned to independently complete the word desired by the user (T9 version 5.1), as well as suggest the next word, or even the entire phrase (T9 version 7 and higher).
Some T9 implementations also offer the use of "smart punctuation". This feature offers the use of the "1" key to apply various punctuation marks in a sentence (or for a single word), automatically selected by the system.
On xiaomi
Most xiaomi smartphones are equipped with a keyboard with a built-in Qwerty layout function, which not only makes it easier to enter information, but also automatically checks spelling. There is no need for T9, so this function is not displayed in the default settings. How to disable T9 on Android xiaomi, if autochange still occurs, you can navigate using the proposed algorithm.
What to do:
- Go to the system settings menu.
- Select "Advanced".
- In the specified section, find the “Language and Input” category.
- Select the active keyboard (pre-installed or downloaded yourself).
- In the keyboard settings, select the “Text Correction” options.
- In this section, you can select and disable (or enable) the necessary options. In addition to spelling rules, you can also set hotkey combinations that you can use to type text.
By the way, on many modern devices, developers have provided a special self-learning system. As you use it, it “remembers” the words you use most often, so that it can later suggest them first on speed dial. If, after purchasing a new smartphone, you just can’t find a common language with autocorrect, this may be just such a case. The easiest way would be to be patient a little, or to “speed up your learning” by adding the necessary words and terms to the dictionary. Usually, after two to three weeks of active use of the device, the system itself will remember all the necessary phrases and become an assistant and smart adviser.
On asus
Based on the proposed algorithm, you can also figure out on your own how to disable T9 on Asus Android. The names of the sections responsible for autocorrect are also slightly different. Typically, in the keyboard settings category, you need to select the “Analytical Input” item, and then look for the “Auto Correction” category.
Interesting: on many models of Asus smartphones and tablets there is no option to disable the settings for automatically replacing typed text. At the same time, an easy solution to control the situation can be to adjust the settings of the messenger you are using. To do this, just hold down an empty line for a short time to enter text. A settings menu will appear in which we select the appropriate options for disabling the replacement.
On a tablet
Typing on a tablet is usually less problematic. You can install different types of keyboards on your device, and it is also easier to see your own mistakes. At the same time, the autocorrect function also bothers owners of tablet computers, so if necessary, it can also be disabled.
What you will need for this:
- Go to system settings, select “Language and input” or something similar.
- Select the active keyboard (set by default).
- In the keyboard menu, you need to select “AutoCorrect”, “Correction Options” or something like that. This function is not always the “classic” T9, but it is responsible for unsuccessful corrections or automatic text replacement.
- A small hint menu will offer several options, from which you can choose the best one for yourself. Typically, to permanently cancel any hints, it is advisable to activate the “never fix” option.
In any case, the process of canceling T9 on a phone or tablet does not imply completely deleting the setting. If necessary, you can always activate the correction mode by following the proposed algorithm. Such manipulations involve the use of system tools, so no special intervention is carried out in the phone menu.
What is necessary
A brief description of what T2 digital terrestrial television is, its advantages and disadvantages (not many, but there are), as well as the list of channels that you can expect to see on this miracle broadcast, is described in more detail in this article .
Let us remind you that to connect to the “digital” we need:
- tuner T2
- UHF DVB-T2 antenna
- signal amplifier (if necessary)
- the TV itself (it won’t work without it either)
The dimensions of the tuner are not large and, if you compare it with a standard matchbox, it will look like in the picture. We also installed an indoor active antenna on it so that we could also understand how much space this equipment would take up in a city apartment.
If something is missing or the antenna (special) is not installed or directed, then take care of it first.
