Where can I find a run down on all the little icons that show up beside peoples pictures in Google Hangouts. Like the '...' Means they are typing, but I've seen some other ones that confused me.
edit: Found the info in settings!

Looks that not only samsung devices are affected by sd KK restrictions....

peeps gonna wish they didn't get OS updates. poor suckers working at carrier stores gonna catch all that anger.
Thanks for the heads up.
It's crazy how it isn't just included in the keyboard/OS itself when the feature obviously exists.

Hmm I wonder if the Samsung demos there hint at the new One actually coming out next week.

There is a free trial version on the play store to check out. I wasn't a huge fan of it.
Okay thanks I'll try it out.

Hopefully soon. I'm guessing this will be the last major update to the phone.
Yeah. Can't remember why I switched back to iOS after my Nexus One died.

ok, so I swapped out that HTC Max One for the Note 3. So far seems worth every penny. Jumped ship from iOS. Does GAF have a "best of android" list for apps and games or something like that? OT is....sparse.

If so, I'm satisfied. Samsung will have supported it for nearly 2 years. It started on 4.1.1 and will end on 4.4.2.
Does Google Now drain battery life? My phone and tablet have pretty average battery life for android devices (bad compared to my prior tablet and phone), but I heard Google Now drains battery life really bad. The Google app won't function well until I set it up (constantly sends me to Google Now set up upon opening, and cancels out any searches from within other apps) but I don't want worse battery life.
I have seen people say this, but have never found this to be the case since they fixed location services from draining battery. Try it off and on for a week each and test it yourself, but I have no battery issues since they fixed location services.

So frustrated with Google Maps on my phone recently. Ever since my Note 2 updated to 4.3 it hasn't been saying street names for voice navigation, all it does is say Turn Left/Right. It DOES do it with Wifi on, but that's useless when I'm driving. It's been doing this for a long time, but I've only started noticing how bad it is ever since I've been relying on voice directions more often lately.
I've tried every option I've found online that helped others, but nothing has worked. I think the issue may be with my default system language being set to English instead of English (United States), but English is the only system level language option and apps that will change that for you no longer work because 4.3 screwed over apps making those kinds of changes.
Outside of rooting or restoring my phone to its previous version (4.1 I think), is there anyway I can get Google Maps to speak out street names over network again?

Which color? I wish the the blue Galaxy S5 was available in the U.S. but I guess I will have to buy the black one when T-mobile has the phone up for pre-order.

just get a black one and buy a blue replacement battery door.
I know about replacement battery door, but will an authentic blue battery door with the dimples be available?
Same for me and SwiftKey, although I haven't tried it on my Moto X since my GNex couldn't handle it without severe lag. I resorted to using Google Keyboard. I'll try swiftkey again and see if I get any lag again.
Rewrite
Not as deep as he thinks
I barely got it yesterday, but haven't noticed any lag yet. Will report after one week of use. I'm really liking it so far. I'm a SwiftKey man, but this keyboard ain't half bad so far. Definitely way better than the crappy (imo) Google Keyboard.
