I thought Google Keyboard did that too.
Is swift key better on iOS?
I thought all third party keyboards on iOS are worse than their Android counterparts due to some restriction Apple has?
I only use Swiftkey on this. Better autocorrect and multilanguage support alone makes me not want to use Apple's keyboard again.
It's still a little buggy, but I can handle it. It's the same on Android, though, from my past experience.

been using CurrentC at Target for months and it's ... not terrible.
they really need to stop dicking around and turn NFC on though.

I'm sure it's fine in how it works, but it provides very little fraud protection since it's ACH.

yeah but so is my REDcard.
it would definitely suck if a thief managed to steal my phone and figure out my unlock pass and CurrentC Pin and buy a bunch of 4K TVs or whatnot.

Or the asshole at the counter accidentally punches you in twice and you don't realize it? I'm sure the 4K TV excuse is fine tho.

try the beta or the neural net alpha!
who punches what in twice where and how?

It's absolutely amazing how much worse my typing is on android than ios. On my iphone I typed like a beast and rarely got a stupid autocorrect typo. On android I'm CONSTANTLY fixing shit on google keyboard and swift key. It's ridiculous. Someone told me with android you have to learn to type using only the predictive words to pump out the words you want but fuck man that's hard to get used to and still slower.
It's both the auto correct apple has but also the finger detection, it knows which key you were going for most of the time.

Only thing that bothers me is the amount of times I click on . instead of space.

I rest my case.

i dunno, for me, the finger detection seems to be way off on iOS and perfect on Android.

My 5X arrived today and I figured I would keep it since the S6 coupons weren't working and B&H seems to charge a restocking fee. Having great first impressions with it, but I'll need to use it for a few days to see how much I like it over my old phone.
On another note I can't help but think Apple's pulled a Google/Microsoft. The Apple Music app on Android is so much nicer and easier to use than the iOS version.

thats because you go from your giant phone to a smaller one

It's a great upgrade from the N6. But the battery life is not as awesome. I think it's because Play Services is screwing me. It's the highest one every day and I don't know why.
Also, Fleksy is the best keyboard. The Google Keyboard takes up half the screen. It's insane. How do people use it
I'm trying it right now. Is there a way to use multiple languages at the same time like Swiftkey though?
I just downloaded it to try it out. It takes up more space than Google.
Am I missing something?
Your Google keyboard looks resized (am I wrong?). You can do the same with Fleksy.

any updates if it fixed your battery problem?
Swiftkey rocks, you heathens. Even if Google Keyboard supported multiple languages simultaneously, I'd still use Swiftkey for the sheer customization options it offers.
With Swiftkey I can literally type just gibberish without looking at the screen and it turns it into a human language automagically. And the new Material Design themes are nice and elegant. Can't wait for the Neural Net algorithms to be available in Spanish and German.

I just got back to SwiftKey because of this. Fleksy looks nice, but still has something to learn from SwiftKey.

Swiftkey has the best prediction, but I can't use it for extended periods of time because typing with the Google Keyboard feels so much better. It's faster and smoother, and the swyping is a lot better than Swiftkey's version of it.

Thanks for the heads up. I too can now have a Perv keyboard. But no swype kinda sucks

Don't try to hide your excitement behind a typing error!

It can't be installed on non-blackberry phones unless patched.

Yeah it really is. Though on my phone, the storefront is now a little choppy. Frame rate has taken a dip compared to the previous version.

It didn't. I turned off WiFi scanning today and it's a little better but not noticeably better. Doze just isn't working for me on my N6P like it worked on my N6. I have no clue why.
These people talking about 5+ hour SOT while on LTE all day are lucky. It's not my experience. But I blame that on Services. It's always the highest battery drain for me and what kills me is that I can't address it. It's such an unknown thing. I could root and diagnose but c'mon.

I use to use the Go Keyboard with an Iphone Keyboard skin. It was the only keyboard I could type on without making a lot of typos. Then I got my Note 5 and I love the Samsung keyboard, I type with it better than any onscreen keyboard to date.
Me liking loving my Note 5 is strange, I don't like Samsung at all due to their business practices, but I took a chance because I loved the design of the Note 5. Glad I did, it's the best phone I have ever owned. I'm not sure what's wrong with me.

That iPad Pro commercial airs so damn much that I ended up buying Sound & Color. Thankfully, it's an amazing song. Been listening to it on repeat for a good minute now. May have to get the whole album at some point. Thank you Google Rewards and Chromecast.

obvious /s?
What do you like about it though? I use it because it integrates with the hardware keyboard
Remove the gif extension, remove the spacebar, go small size and bask in its gloryI just downloaded it to try it out. It takes up more space than Google.
Am I missing something?
I'm using it on a Nexus 6, I don't have a Priv.
I like it because the text prediction is fantastic. I'm not a huge fan of swype typing, as well. I prefer touch typing and it's hard to find a keyboard (until now) that was designed with that in mind.
Since I installed it, I'm typing faster on my phone without the mistakes I was getting with Swiftkey, Swype and the Google keyboard. I love the swipe up to input a word.
I've been wanting to try the BB keyboard since it showed up on their OS.
Like I said, I'd love for them to release it for all Android phones.

I'm baffled as to how the auto-correct works on the Perv keyboard. Like, it shows a bunch of words around the keyboard but how do you select the one you want?
Also, I can't get used to not having Swype anymore. I probably have to go back to the Google Keyboard for now until the Perv keyboard gets Swype support.

You swype up on the word.
This is from the BlackBerry 10 version, but functionality wise, it's the same.
Here the xda thread if anyone wants to try it out.
As for swype, it's not going to get it anytime soon. It would break the gestures they have (swipe up to add text predictions, down to access punctuation and numbers and swipe left to erase a word).

people who swipe text suck
the new playstore sucks
Gingerbread 3.2 keyboard was GOAT
WIFI on/off bug still annoying me in 6.0 but occurs way less

New RedMi Note 3 seems to be an awesome device: metal, Fingerprint scanner, 5,5inches, 4000mAh octacore HelioX10.... below $200 Too bad it doesn have 800Mhz band
Poor support though. Literally no alternative ROMs. MIUI or bust.
Specs are amazing for the price though.
