Or just remove the battery for half hour or so, & put it back in & restart the phone! It could fix it up

SOURCE: how to delete a letter

it depends on your model number.
Usually you can delete a letter by hitting the clear key.
Usually you can change predictive text to standard by pressing and holding the 1 key, the * key or the # key.

SOURCE: predictive text

Aswer is in the instructions, you can download off the internet.

http://support.t-mobile.com/knowbase/root/public/tm30114.pdf?&A2L.SERVICE=Manual&WT.srch=2&Result_Inq=answer&InqSource=TMO

1) Go to text entry screen (txt message screen)
2) Push the _ button at the very top middle of your phone.
3) The Message menu will open, go to Entry Setup and set your Primary Setup to TAP English.

This will fix your problem, I set my secondary Setup to Tap Extended.

I have just done this and have not given it a major examination, but I can send text messages now without any bother.

That symbol means that there are msgs waiting to be sent in the out box. You cant get rid of it as there are msgs in the out box. Either send them or remove them.

I have a motorola v545 and want to turn off the predictive text help!
Go to messages, new message, go to the menu(middle button) select entry options/method/settings, go to primary and select TAP English, go to Secondary and select None.
Text-Entry Methods:
iTAP - Lets you enter words using one key press per letter. The iTAP® method combines your key presses into common words and predicts each word as you enter it.
TAP - Lets you enter letters and numbers by pressing a key repeatedly to cycle through the letters and number on that particular key.
TAP Extended - Same as TAP, but cycles through additional special characters and symbols as you repeatedly press a key.
Text-Entry Modes:
Primary - You can set your Primary entry mode to any iTAP or TAP entry method.
Secondary – You can set your Secondary entry mode to any iTAP or Tap entry method, or you can set it to None if you do not want a Secondary entry mode.
Numeric - Enter numbers by pressing the number keys.
Symbol - Enter symbols by pressing a key; its symbols are displayed at the bottom of the screen. Scroll to the desired symbol and then press Select.
To set the text-entry mode or method:
  • From a text-entry screen, press Options.
  • Scroll to and select Entry Setup or Text Setup.
  • Select the desired text-entry mode or method.
Tip: From any text entry-screen, you can quickly change your text-entry mode without leaving that screen. Press the # key repeatedly to cycle through the text-entry modes: Primary, Secondary, Numeric, and Symbol. With each press of the # key, the mode indicator in the upper left of the text-entry screen changes.

My blitz doesnt text
Try this. Touch Keypad simulates a wireless phone keypad on the touch screen to allow you to enter text, numbers, and symbols just as if you were using a wireless phone keypad. Touch Keyboard simulates a 20-key QWERTY (typewriter) keyboard on the touch screen to allow you to enter text, numbers, and symbols similar to the way you would using a QWERTY keyboard. To use Touch Keypad or Touch Keyboard:  In a program, tap the Input Selector arrow, and then tap Touch Keypad or Touch Keyboard. To type lowercase letters, tap the keys on the dial pad or keyboard. To type a single uppercase letter, tap the Shift key and then tap the corresponding key. To type all uppercase letters, tap the Shift key twice. To change back to all lowercase letters, tap again. To enter a space after the word, tap the Space key. To start a new line, tap the Enter key. To backspace and delete a single character in any input mode, press the Back key. To open the Symbol pad, tap the Symbol key. To change the input mode:  Tap the Input mode key to switch to a different input mode: XT9 (predictive), Multitap (abc), or Numeric (123).

Hope this helps, let me know if this works or if I can help you with anything else.
