Support NeoGAF

Goat keyboard confirmed.

Emoji search is great.

You get 💦💦 when you type in nut. Google has done its research

 

[RuGalz]

Multi-language support, nice. Are they finally getting rid of all the variations of IME? It's really annoying having to setup 3 Google keyboards that have similar options but at different places.

 

[Jazzy Network]

still like swiftkey for it saving emails imo. Wish other keyboards did that.

Yea big fan of this. Themes are really cool too. I will give it a shot though.

Google Keyboard has a big update to 6.0 and is now Gboard.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/1...r-row-multiple-active-languages-apk-download/

- Dedicated number row
- Multi-language support (like Swiftkey)
- Built-in search

Only available for 64bit devices at the moment.

SwiftKey was right.

Is it time to really switch from Fleksy? I've used it for ages despite it being confirmed dead. It's like my RSS app Press. Dead for years but I still use it.

 

[Toki767]

Gboard's alright.

It sucks that Hangouts (lol) doesn't support inserting animated gifs from there though.

 

[LostMyNarbles]

Xperia X Compact is on sale for $300 at Best Buy. Much better price for it if you want a small phone.

 

[Husker86]

Gboard's alright.

It sucks that Hangouts (lol) doesn't support inserting animated gifs from there though.

Whaaaat? It works on the Google keyboard I have. I thought it was up to the app, not the keyboard.

 

[DrFunk]

Mate 9 in the house. Even lucked out and got the international version instead of the chinese version.

Yes it does.

what's the difference?

 

[DrFunk]

what's the difference?

Chinese version doesn't include G-apps

 

[MattDoza]

I would rather the contextual keyboard be better about popping up and keyboard switching to full numpad than having it up all of the time. It just messes with my swipe texting.

Nice. Is this the 6gb ram one?

 

[The Faceless Master]

Chinese version doesn't include G-apps

lucked out? sounds like an essential piece of the puzzle.

 

[Nilaul]

Why does android still use garbage collection and why hasn't java been completely abandoned? It seems to cause so much problems with memory and performance.

 

[DrFunk]

Nice. Is this the 6gb ram one?

Nah, 4/64gb version in brown. The 6gb versions are exclusively Chinese

lucked out? sounds like an essential piece of the puzzle.

Tell that to the great firewall of China

i thought i settled and then Flossy just haaaaaaaaaad to have a Goldeneye watchface on his Gear S3

"four days battery life ... that's bullshit" LOL LOL LOL

 

[Toki767]

Yes it does.

Doesn't seem to be working for me. When I press the gif it just inserts a link.

Maybe I have to be on Nougat?

I just recently started watching his videos. Very entertaining guy.

Definitely the best tech reviewer out there.

 

[Groof]

This Gboard update is p good. Multilanguage works well and auto correct is improved. I like

 

[Bboy AJ]

I put a picture of pancakes I ate at a diner in DC as my Gboard theme. This is amazing. I still miss the ability to use space as a simple swipe like I could in Fleksy. I guess I better get used to swiping again.

Using Gboard with another language that isn't Roman still stinks. I can't use the Korean one, for example. It treats it as two separate apps.

 

[TTOOLL]

Definitely the best tech reviewer out there.

After watching some videos I have to agree. He's not worried about saying things companies wouldn't like to hear about their products.

 

[wilflare]

really regretting locking my bootloader. is there any other way to do a nandroid backup (or one that backs up to the same extent)?

 

[Bboy AJ]

I changed my Gboard theme to a Waffle House menu. Much better.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Gboard hasn't pushed out to me yet

Mine hasn't updated yet either .

]do you have any idea what the implications of what you just said mean? lol. Lets just abandon the language our entire OS is built on. lol ok

Switch your RSS to Newsfold

Shout out to Xerxes!

 

[newdayrocks]

Just watched my son's 2013 Moto X power on, and that thing takes 20ish minutes to become usable after verifying apps, and that's after a recent factory reset.

It still runs reasonably well, but between that, running 5.1 with no more security updates, and the crackling speaker, it's time for a replacement.

 

[Husker86]

Doesn't seem to be working for me. When I press the gif it just inserts a link.

Maybe I have to be on Nougat?

I thought that feature was API 25 only (Android 7.1)

 

[Nephix]

So it sounds like the Mate 9 Pro might have a last minute delay until mid/late January in europe.
Some stores seem to already have it in stock though so I don't really see the point..

 

[Baroquemantic]

Dumbass me, having not done anything ROM related in a couple years, flashed a Marshmallow ROM over a buggy Nougat one. Thought I permanently bricked the phone. Thankfully I was able to get back into twrp after a bunch of attempts.

Plus he doesn't shill for Dbrand every 30 seconds. That's definitely a plus.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I highly doubt it will stick but pixel 2 slated for mid-late august btw. I guess they may want to get ahead of the iphone so it's possible but I just don't see it.

Aren't they using a custom chip set this time?

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Aren't they using a custom chip set this time?

no ideaaaaaa all I know is they want to launch in august! Makes sense though, why launch a month after everyone already got an iphone, especially in a big iphone update year.

Hope they go all out though with the design and chip.

This is the phone that's supposed to have Andromeda, right?

 

[Toki767]

Hopefully the next Pixel looks nicer.

As do I

If rumors are to be believed

Hopefully the next Pixel looks nicer.

We can only hope it'll look like that Porsche blackberry from many years ago

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

This is the phone that's supposed to have Andromeda, right?

if rumours are true

I wish I knew more. Google probably doesn't know what they want to run lol. I just hope they stick to the august date.

 

[Rushersauce]

Guys, what would you pick? A Samsung Galaxy J5 (6) or an Alcatel Idol 3 5.5? The Alcatel seems like a no brainer.

 

[wilflare]

pardon me folks but what's the backup app to use again?

for SMS/etc - Carbonite's SMS Backup and Restore
for everything else - ?

sending in my 6P to get the battery replaced... the 20% batt sudden death is annoying

 

[Vanillalite]

Brother called. His neighborhood just got AT&T fiber so he's thinking about switching. Wants to upgrade his wifi for his mini mansion and was asking about Google WiFi. Think he's gonna go with that over Eero.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Bros....my Gear S3 lasts 3 days with always on display on and almost a week with it off. Legit!

For everything else use google drive or just the built in back up.

Alcatel, no contest
