WORD REPLACEMENT - SHORTCUT USAGE

ALI786 — Sun, 15 Jun 2014 09:56:47 GMT

I am a new Android user after having been on iOS since the original iPhone. I've got my new SONY XPERIA E1 One pretty much set-up the way I want but I'm just having one issue that I can't resolve.

I've gone into Settings > Language & keyboard > Personal Dictionary
I've created a bunch of keyboard shortcuts but they never work in any applications (example: omw = On my way!)

I've typed my shortcuts in every app there is but none of them work. I've rebooted the phone but still no dice. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any and all help!

Why are you on the Sony support forum if you have HTC?

When I want to use a word or sentence which I use regulary, such as " LOVE YOU " so I would create a SHORTCUT[ IN ios] LY, Therefor when I want to type LOVE YOU I would just type in LY and "LOVE YOU" WOULD APPEAR and I woulde be able to send this message through.

Eg:

GREETINGS shortcut would be GR. If I type GR GREETINGS WOULD APPEAR and I do not need to type G R E E T I N G S BUT JUST GR

I think you need a 3rd party keyboard for that.
