How to : disable auto correction on iPhones (firmwares 1.x, 2.x)
Auto Correction while typing on the iPhone can be very annoying. By default, the option to Enable or Disable Auto Correction on the iPhone is hidden. Who in gods name came up with that design ? We don't know, but we can tell you where or how to find the option !
NB : This works differently for firmware versions 1.x and 2.x, so please go to the appropriate segment for that :
Firmware versions 1.x :
Launch Installer and press the Install icon. Scroll down to the Tweaks (1.1.1) folder and press it. Press Kb2 and install it. When it's done, press the Home button and then slide to unlock. Now press Settings, General, Keyboard and you will see the new menu entry and the slider.
Firmware versions 2.x :
For the 2.x firmware, the procedure is a little more complicated. You will need to rename a file manually. I will be using the Terminal on the Mac to modify a file in this tutorial. These instructions can be applied to any files you want to modify, provided you already have OpenSSH installed.
Launch Terminal. Enter the following commands:
ssh

(or your IP address)
your root password
cd /System/Library/TextInput
mv TextInput_en.bundle TextInput_en_bk.bundle
You have now renamed the text input bundle to something else. You can undo this command by entering the reverse, if you'd like to turn auto correction back on.
obviously Apple is trying to convert the whole world to using english as their primary language by auto correcting everybody's notes and emails.
