Prediction is not enabled when typing in URLs, at least for the browser's address bar. If you were typing it into an e-mail, it's easier to just send the link from the browser (the + icon)

just figured it out how to disable auto correction/complete on iphone 3g:
Rename the "TextInput_en.bundle" to "TextInput_en.backup" and it disables auto correction.
ts located at /System/Library/TextInput/
---
use ssh to jailbroken iphone 3g.

Strange, I bought mine this past Sunday and I do not have this feature.... could it be something Apple has changed from the initial time of release until now?
I don't see it, any idea how to turn it off (not jailbroken yet)
It is very very bad if you type letters in a different language. For example, I wanna type the word "happy wedding" in another language, but iphone corrects "wedding" into something else which means "death". That is horrible if you didn't spell check and sent it.

No the poster earlier had jailbroken his phone and modified his settings app. He must have forgotten he did that or something...
At last! Finally, Apple has also addressed one common request within the iPhone's Keyboard settings, allowing users to disable the iPhone's auto-correction.

Its not possible to turn off auto-correction on FW 2.1
FW 2.2 has this feature, just wait untill it is released then you can turn it off

Work around to avoid Auto-Correction
I find that if I type any letter, step back to the immediate left of that letter, tapping goes into Edit mode, and I can then type anything without the Auto-correction.
But most of the time, I think Auto-Correction is a good feature, worthy of exploitation.

This worked like a treat, thank you! I write many of my text messages in Estonian, so predictive text was particularly annoying, as the words it suggested were never correct.
Turning predictive text off...
Worked for me... thank you so much for posting that...Not on my iPhone.
Ver. 1.1.4
It is EXTREMELY annoying when you ask a rhetorical question to criticize someone's wishes. This OP is among MANY who want to control this system, not be controlled by it.
I want to share my experience with predictive text.
I am still wrapping my head around PT, though I have been involuntarily using it as have we all now for at least a decade. I have also noticed how over time it learns. The algorithm for this is beyond me, and I wish I knew it. So I would love to see some readable documentation.
I know you can set your vocabulary to replace one string of characters with another. But after some time it gets corrupted and you have to start over. This seems like a non-robust implementation which leaves the user a back door. It indicates the endangered species of hands-off user-controlled user interface that Jobs innovated in the market. Apple is more and more going off its prime directive and all.
If I could know more about HOW the PT is designed, my user experience would enable better best-work practices. For example, which rules determine when Apple will stop trying to PT a specific string? How many times exactly? And how does the user bring it back if s/he wants to use it some other time?
I do see how old this post is but the issue still is out there. Unaddressed and orphaned as far as I can see...
