Google ruined the keyboard for me. Before the word you were typing was in the center, now it only shows up in the message you are writing. I assume the logic is the word being there twice is redundant. But now I have to continuously look around in the message instead of in that one box to be sure my typing is correct.
I went back to SwiftKey for now which I hadn't used since Google enabled swipe. Judging by the reviews I'm not alone.
Its definitely taking some getting used to for me. A little frustrating but I'm flexible. As of now I agree, I liked the way it corrected in the previous version better. But I'm getting the hang of it. I swipe more often than not so it doesn't seem to play as big of a role in messing me up. Could we be missing a setting (in correction section) that would change it? Idk haven't dove to deep into it yet
I haven't been able to find a setting. I hope I will get used to it as for now it makes me not want to type as much. Feels slow.
Yeah, I hate that the word you are typing doesn't show as a suggestion any more (other than the floating weird which I shut off) I've been trying out other keyboards.

On the homepage and in the article there are videos to see how it works. If this method works flawlessly it will definitely improve the writing speed a lot. Looks very promising from my point of view. I subscribted the newsletter to get a notice when this will be available (soon as the developers said).
I subscripted myself to test the beta! So i'm curieus to the result.
Subscripted also
Subscripte also. The app looks verry promising. Can not wait to use it.
signed up as well. looks like an interesting concept, especially on the diamond.
Repeated Thread?
wow looks awesome...
looks really interesting, if it really works that well that would be a revolution.
and people would finally stop whining about not being able to type easily on their touch'es
not really a revolution... Just stumbled on something like this yesterday cus i really wanted that iphone feature

The symbols page is too small. Other than that - not too bad.
Unfortunately we'll probably never get to use it due to their business model of now downloading of it, it's just baked into the carrier ROM's. Kind of dumb in my opinion, but maybe someone here can make a cab file from it.

it would be nice if you'd show an example. I did a google search for you, and found idial you mention:

When I google for idial pocketpc I don't get much; only this version for smartphone. Don't know what it does though. You could try it.
Also when searching the forum I found someone else asking for it
have you used forum search and google before you asked this?
i have searched the google.. but i didn't searched the forum.. sorry.. is there any possibilities? cause i feel kinda dissapointed of my x1.. no bb connect, no updates/upgrades from the sony.. unlike iphone and bb
I must admit that looks cool!!!
IMHO it's horrible and inuseful.
it looks cool, sounds like a great idea, but ends up pants.
Why? well we went to touch dialers for a reason, or several... How many rotary house phones get sold?
can you imagine trying to use a rotary to get through an automated dialer?
"Please enter the 13 digit number", erm okay, bear with me, yep a bit longer, okay it's taking a while to get back to the start after I do a 9, just a little bit longe.. "Please enter the 13 digit number" oh sod it!
I do think there's scope for better ways of dialling but touch ones work.
Actually you can't use a real rotary dialer to access an automated service because they rely on the tone which your phone generates when a number is hit. On rotary phones it clicks in rapid succession when it returns to 0, that's how the dialing works.
that is nice but i dunno if u can hold down your finger and rotate the numbers...it be cool if you tap on the number and u see the wheel spin as an animation...that be very cool.
Hey, I was bored so I figured I would code this app and throw it on the Android marketplace. It as all of the BLS Drug Profiles based off the Arizona Department of Health.
Before I throw it onto the market I figured I would ask what you guys think of the GUI. Do you guys like the way it looks? Or should I change it, what do you think I should do to make it better? Also keep in mind this is my first app.

Looks interesting. What I can see looks pretty good but you should post the apk so we can install and really check it out for ya.
This is a sorely needed app!
Thanks.
I wouldn't use blue for the text color though.
In bright lights or outdoors, that is gonna be very difficult to read.
Since this app could possibly be needed in an emergency situation, it's vital for everything to be able to be seen without any fuss or confusion.
Make it high contrast ... white text on black.
As for the overall ui, it's perfectly fine other than that. This isn't an app where asthestics are important. It's not something people will be glaring at for hours on end. It's utilitarian, it's reference. And keeping it simple is exactly what's needed.
One thing I might add at some point is a link to Wikipedia if there is one (at least I don't see it from the screenshots). Or if the material you're using for reference has other online references available to the general public, that's fine too. Especially something with links to pictures to help identify pills/capsules etc. That's just an idea.
Great job.
And if you're needing a beta tester, please let me know.
Thanks.

Ok, I will experiment with the color of the text I suppose. I can also ad a link to the Arizona Health Department Bureau of EMS. I also have a disclaimer to add, and it should be ready
Sorry for the double post, just wanted to let everyone know that I posted this on the market
I don't know how much you guys pay attention to what goes on in the other sections of this forum but since I still own a Fuze as well as the HD2 I wanted to make sure you guys knew what I was still up to.
I made an Android 3D model a bit ago and offered it to the public to use as they wanted if they just asked for the file. Well nobody asked to use him so I guess I can waste some time here and there and get out a set of tabs. I'm not saying it will happen fast, but today I started from scratch with the other models like the phone,MMS,headphones,Footprint,etc..... I have him placed with several of them so far but with all the tabs that are out there right now it will be awhile till I have each of them made.

Just eleven more to do,lol........
Edit: was made later this eveing
New eMail icon. The other one looked odd in that direction plus it didn't allow me to use him at full size to the envelope.
Ok so what would poeple rather see...............
Him in Blue as shown above
or
Green like in the new Web icon?
those look great ...green or blue both are cool looking
Not totally happy with it but you get the idea. I'll just have to redo the shadowing. It's all wrong for the arrow.
How do you guys feel about a TwitterDroid?
Docs tab but I will have to do some work on this one but it's there for the most part.
Contacts......
One more.....What do you think for a weather icon?
I think they are pretty neat, and a little cute. LOL love em. U have a Hero and a Touch Pro, glad I saw these, made my night. Looks like a lot of hard work, nice job.
I have an HD2 and a Fuze(Touch Pro) I do not have a Hero.
Settings ......
I cleaned up the settings icon. I kind of rushed it the last time and short cut doing some things. Even this last one is not fully up to my specs but it will do for now. I have plowed out most of the tabs I'm going to do. Out of 17 total I have 3 more left.
Updated twitter icon possibly???????
they all look great Wil
Most likely the new Music Icon
Pictures & Video
Well I thought I would throw some humor into missed calls. If anybody has any ideas for something better I'm all ears. I can't think of anything I want to render for it.
Ever since updating to the Android PIE Samsung One UI this one thing has bugged me to no end.
See the attached image. Why is the 'Settings' heading so large?
It seems to take up around 40% of the screen for no good reason.
I know you can just scroll down but why does it need to be so massive?
Hope there is some way to make it smaller as it is ridiculously large.

All native apps are like this. It is to make one handed use easier. Its actually a great design idea for such a tall device.

Because it's faster/more natural to swipe up + makes more sense (like a title of X) vs having to swipe down to pull settings text and options lower to reach with one hand. I explain myself badly, but from design stand point this is the better choice and makes more sense vs the other way around.
