How to turn ON/OFF the word suggestions (AUTO-COMPLETE) on the Verizon Wireless Motorola Droid Pro

The Motorola Droid PRO comes pre-configured to show you word suggestions. Many times it is quite helpful, most notably when typing a text message. If you accidentally typo the word, the smartphone will determine what you meant to type and insert that word instead.

The only time that this feature is not a help is when you are trying to use a proper noun that is not the normal spelling, or when using an acronym like LOL or OMG. So you may want to turn this feature off. It's really quite simple if you know where to look.

Menu => Settings => Language & Keyboard

Sometimes, you just need to talk to more than one person at a time. For these times, you'll need to remember how to use the Conference Call feature on your phone.

First, you'll need to call the first number. After your call goes through, press the ADD CALL button. Now, dial the next number or select it from the contacts or favorites screens. When the second call answers, press MERGE CALLS.

That's it! All three of you can now talk simultaneously.
