Hey people, I just have a few questions:
Firstly how exactly do I find my user dictionary to delete certain words? I tried looking for it based on the Support page but I can't find the option. I checked and the 2 keyboards I have are the Thai and Chinese input one.
Also, does the Google Maps use only Data or does it also work with the built in GPS? Whenever I use the GPS and click 'my location' it always says it can't find me although it works fine when I use the Mobile Network data.
Lastly, I've been reading that apparently we shouldn't be using Task Killers since the android has its own way of managing the closing of tasks. Yet sometimes I leave it for hours and when I check the taskkiller those programmes are still running. Can anyone shed any light on this? Should I be using the task killer?
Thanks for your time!

For your queries:
1) As far as I know, you cant manage the dictionary for the stock keyboard. If you're not gonna use the Chinese or the Thai input, I suggest you try this custom keyboard. It's like a beefier version of the HTC keyboard (EU version) and it has a tonne of features which include dictionary management. Desire users should download and install the 'Hi-Res' version. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663608 <I've written a guide for this over on the Legend thread>
2) Yes, it uses the GPS but I believe it can also use GSM networks to find your location. To use the GPS, you'll have to be in an area with a clear view of the sky. It won't work well or at all when you're in buildings.
3) Apps that aren't running but are shown in task managers are just placeholders. Nothing more. They don't run any processes or suck up any battery (most of the time). The OS manages the apps by closing them (completely) only when the extra RAM is needed. Task killers offer a quicker and more controlled way to control how apps and services run on our phones. They don't exactly do much in my opinion but they are handy to have for closing some stubborn apps which continue to process a little bit even after exit.
Oh yea. HTC Sense is tied to certain apps such as friend stream and mail so ending these processes might cause Sense to restart. This will cause a load screen on your home page for a few seconds. So...do remember to include them in your task killer's ignore list.
