other keyboards with smiley

I have tried every keyboard looking for one that combines all the greatest features including a working smiley key. Swiftkey seems to be the over all best. But it has some serious issues with lag on ICS, so had to give it up, even though it's prediction, including adding missing space, is way above everyone else, sometimes it would not do predictions within apps though. Touchpal has nice prediction and a good enter key that brings up smiley with a long press as well as a great feature of getting the alt key meaning by swiping the key up or down. Smart keyboard has good text prediction, long press to get smiley on enter key. My favorite right now is Perfect Keyboard. Perfect keyboard lets me tailor the long press duration, it has great prediction, and like swiftkey will fill in missing space bar presses. With perfect keyboard a long press get the smileys, plus Perfect keyboard does even a better job than the others of continuing to do predictions even within apps like shopping lists, google play, etc.

Works well. I loved the HTC_Mod before as well, and somebody ported it over to XHDPI devices; he's still trying to get it working on JB, but it works fine on ICS.

[Galaxy S III General] jinosong:
Any one out there have more information regarding the trade-in program from i9300 to i9305? Here's a link to a source, but need more info...

http://www.facebook.com/SamsungMobileUK/posts/475520072488914
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
Why not phone EE as suggested in your link?
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
This is not a source lol . Someone only asked the question if it will be possible which I highly doubt unless money is involved.
[Galaxy S III General] jinosong:
They're saying £75 but can someone else confirm?
[Galaxy S III General] bungadudu:
If you've called EE Uk and they've said "YES!, Your old S3 + £75" what's more to confirm?

It sounds like a pretty good deal!
[Galaxy S III General] Hybridesque:
If that's to be believed, I'm tempted. Only went onto T-mobile at end of August... albeit via Tesco phone shop. Did score the handset for free through that, after buying myself out of my Orange contract.
[Galaxy S III General] speedyjay:
Im on the phones 4 u jump tariff, and can upgrade my phone every 6 months, but it bumps my monthly spend up lol
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
I would say there would be an upgrade option but it wont be free, No way. But hey the more people that get it there better it is for me and development,, come on people take out your wallets.. Definatley best phone in the world I recon :D~
[Galaxy S III General] giftedgiggsy11:
Just tried ringing EE but they're closed.

If this offer is real would i have to call EE direct or could i speak to Orange customer service?
[Galaxy S III General] habylab:
I got offered either phone and I went for the 3g one. Oops!
[Galaxy S III General] giftedgiggsy11:
When i rang Orange last night they didn't seem to know of any offer currently, but they said that EE is aiming to be fully launched by the end of October so if there are any special offers then they are more likely to come after then, as they said they have only just started alerting customers to changes in there service.

Not sure if this is true or not or if calling EE directly would give me a different answer.
[Galaxy S III General] da.trute:
why is this thread even called "trade in program" when there isnt one and will never be one. You will be able to buy it on contract like any other phone, they wont need incentives as it will be the first 4g phone.
[Galaxy S III General] giftedgiggsy11:
Because the OP was asking if anyone has any information about a trade in program involving the two phones, they may well not be one but that's what the OP was trying to find out.

And i think incentives will be needed to get people who purchased the i9300 to then spend more money on the i9305.
[Galaxy S III General] demlasjr:
The truth is, I love my I9300, but if there would be a way to update, even paying, I will do this step. If not, I will wait one year, check the S4 and then I will decide: upgrading or wait another year with the S3...
[Galaxy S III General] giftedgiggsy11:
I agree, i'd pay within reason but like you say, i'm still very happy with my S3 :o
[Galaxy S III General] demlasjr:
Yup, nothing to complain about in I9300. Don't forget, we still get a nice score in benchmarks, the 9305 2 gigs are kinda useless :D

Howdy Note 2 owners,

I decided to return my HOX and ordered the Note 2 from Amazon. It is supposed to be here next Tuesday :) :good:

So I would like to ask for feedback from you guys those who have used this phenomenal device. What do you like most of it? And what you don't like?

Any suggestion or tips for new owners?

Thank you so much :laugh:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChodTheWacko:
If you are okay with the size, there simply isn't anything better.

I'd suggest coming in assuming you can't use it one handed. If you can, consider that a bonus.

You'll be more pleasantly surprised that way.

There's really very little to complain about with this phone. It's quite astounding.

- Frank
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1The_Rock:
Thats the correct choice you made... As even i sold my HOX for Note2 , I am really liking it. Size does not matter much now, As its trendier for bigger phone.

My money spent on NOTE2 brings be joy specially the S-Pen and features which i still need to learn. You got plenty of things to learn when you get NOTE2 .:fingers-crossed:

Been using it for a few days, it's a great device. Just can't believe I have an android phone that I don't have to carry a charger with me any more. Battery served more than 22 hours with wifi, gps, 3g, and automatic screen display.

Few hiccups sometimes with TW sometimes but not major and not frequent.

You will not regret it. :thumbup:

When I was waiting for the I phone 5 my cousin showed me his new galaxy s3 and I fell in love with the screen size and as app people knew that the iphone 5 would only have a longer display in decided to buy an GS3 and it was fantastic far more better than my iphone 4s it brought me the same feeling I had with the first iphone back in 2007, then I wanted a bigger screen and I bought the note 2 and it's even better than the GS3... The best phone I ever had.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] re-volt:
Sure there will be plenty of roms as the device become more available and more popular, I didn't root mine and honestly I don't seem to find a good reason to root.

I always root my devices to make the the phone go faster, have better battery, but there is no need with note 2 yet, from my point of view at least.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiahnlliya:
It's just a very different beast compared to the S3 I had for a while there. On paper I guess the Note II isn't a lot more than a bigger version of the S3, but it really is much better in many ways. I especially enjoy the big beautiful screen, the good battery life, playing with the S-Pen (though it's not very useful for me), I also think it feels better in the hand than the S3 did, typing is easier and more comfortable and I think the device looks nicer too!

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cherylbaker:
So I have some questions for those who already have this beast. It only has one button.. so how do you close apps and switch between apps??? How thick is the machine? How many rows and columns fit on the screen for apps? Never used touchwiz before only used sense.. I heard it is not user friendly? Do the home screens run in a continuous loop? How easy us it to root and unlock?

Thanks.. looks like I am getting one for my birthday from my hubby.. kinda nervous and ezcited at the same time..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totophil:
Coming from a galaxy Ace , i find it awesome.

As i do not yet receive the case to protect it, i found the back very slippery, which is annoying for a so big phone.

I would have prefer a back with some rubber to stay well in one hand.

It will be better with the case even if it's even bigger
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DuratecPaul:
what I find with keyboard and touch screen in general is its too sensitive... iphone has the detect false clicks thing.

Same as iPown if you use a glove or what ever it doesnt register as anything ...where as android you can tap the screen with anything.

I need to go vomit now that I said good things about CRapple ...brb
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mezo91:
How then I tried what you said and it took 10 units for 30 minutes of game play. Is there a way to detect a bad device or battery.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mezo91:
Look
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mugget:
mezo91 - sounds like you did get a bit of a dud. There is no kind of movement or clicking around the bezel on mine. Also my volume and unlock buttons do seem a tiny bit loose (if you look close you can move them slightly without activating the button) but that's not noticeable until you look for it. If your buttons are just moving around lots, I would say that the bezel or something was not assembled correctly? On the basis of that I would just make a backup and take your phone back for replacement. It will drive you crazy if you try and live with it.

I agree that the battery does seem to drain fast, even when seemingly inactive (screen off, not used for hours). There is a thread here that seems to have a good guide to detecting battery drain: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=937080

That is not specifically for the Note 2, so some typical power usage figures may vary but that should help you locate any power drain. Hope that helps you.

DuratecPaul - I did notice that as well. Occasionally when I'm looking at something on the screen my finger slowly moves towards the back button and I don't even feel the touch, but it activates the button. Maybe it's just my absent-minded usage, but I could swear it's super-sensitive.

Another thing I just remembered to mention is the screen. If we're being honest - the picture quality is nowhere near as good as the iPhone, I guess that 300ppi really is a magic number... Also I find the bluish tint on the blank screen a bit strange, the colours are also not as good as on iPhone. Maybe this can be corrected by some kind of calibration/adjustment app?? BUT the screen quality is made up for by the size! In spite of the fact that I use my phone mainly for mobile photography & editing etc., the combination of screen size and how it displays is good enough that I do not want to go back to a smaller screen size like the iPhone, no matter how good the screen looks.

my phone screen (especially upper portion of it) became really hot after playing only 10-15 min NFS or Asphalt 7. is this normal issue? do you face the same problem?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SenK9:
At first the size was a bit unwieldy, but now that I've got used to it, I'm really enjoying the extra screen space for reading, videos and gaming. The non-pentile display is gorgeous. I'd also say it's one of the very few devices which combines lots of functionality (including the S-Pen), whilst overcoming the bane of modern smartphones - battery life. Battery technology has been lagging behind, so the solution of course, is to cram a huge battery in there. It's a keeper.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirasan13:
Im really like it and im glad that I chose note 2 compare to one x+, when the time before I buy my note 2 my cousin show me his one x+ and the 1st time I saw that phone I were excited about that one x+ because that was my second choice of buying my new smartphone.

The design and the color were really nice and the beats audio sound enhancement are great too, but after I play awhile with that phone I get bored in 15 minit... that the feeling that I had with that phone now. After that I decided to buy note 2 and until now I don't feel any regret that I chose this phone, the function are awesome and I can use the function to help me at work. Btw I can get the beats audio too while my note 2 were rooted.

Double Win :D:thumbup:

I use to agree with you (in fact I started a thread about how much better the iPhone keyboard is) until you try different keyboards. In my opinion the Samsung keyboard is not great. Right now I'm using Kii keyboard and it's awesome and it has a great feature to reduce the keyboard size so we can easily one hand type with our note2.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mugget:
Having had my Note 2 for more than a year now there's a few things that have started to get to me.

First is the screen - I've now made a rule that I will never buy a mobile device with a screen resolution less than 300ppi. That really stood out at first, and I wouldn't call the resolution terrible, I did get used to it. But I'm still very much aware that it could be better than it is. The other thing I absolutely hate about the screen is how difficult it is to use outdoors, so hard to see in sunlight. And the strange blue color cast, I'd prefer a screen that could reproduce color & be viewed just the same as my other devices.

Battery life - I was hoping for some spectacular battery life, but once I got my usage habits into a more regular routine after the initial excitement and "playing" phase and installed a decent power-saving ROM, I found that the battery life was not that spectacular at all. I guess that hardware neutralised any longer battery life. With the same kind of usage on my iPhone 4 I got the same battery life, sometimes better! No joke!!

Then there is the OS & apps... the big letdown has been when things just freeze up or quit, and other general app weirdness.

I guess the Android gloss has just started to wear off...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mashed_Potatoes:
It's alright. Battery is good, screen is good, performance good as well, the glossy body is not good though, its a fingerprint and dirt magnet without cases.

Despite the shiny plastic, it's solid, the back cover does not make clingy noises after being removed many times (the little plastic teeth are good quality), and i dropped it from a 1,2m height on hard concrete and it survived (with an ultra thin hard shell case), but on the screen
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CreepyDroid:
It has 3 buttons (physical home button and capacitive menu and back buttons). You can open recent apps by long pressing home, long pressing menu will take you to google now and long pressing the back button will show/hide the multiwindow bar.

In the touchwiz launcher you can have 4 x 4 apps on each home screen and 5 x 5 in the app drawer, and you can use something like apex or nova launcher to get more apps (I have 5x7 for example). I will let someone else comment about TW since I never used another skin (aside from stock which is inferior to TW IMO). The international note 2 comes with an unlocked bootloader but that may be different for some us variants (the verizon one might have a locked and encrypted bootloader just like the vzw s3).

Hi

Best phone out!!

I moved from iphone 4s to htc one x. The htc with so bad on battery life max I got out of it was 9hrs.

So I moved to the s3 wow what a great phone. Got 18hrs out of the battery.

Then the note 2 came I want a bigger screen as I steam half the time at work so the note was perfect. I can get 23hrs to 1 day and 5 hrs out of it.

So glad I brought this phone. When I look at another phone I think **** me the screen small.

So the note 2 is the best of the best must have phone. I feel sorry for all the apple fanboys with there so called big screen.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totophil:
With Touchwizz you have continuous loop but you don't have gesture shortcut as you can have with nova or go launcher.

for rooting you can see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1933542 , if you want to stay as close as stock.

there are also other methods.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cherylbaker:
Oh OK good could not see the capacitive buttons in the videos etc. I assume they are in either side of the home button and not part of the actual screen.

The only issue you can't go back to smaller screen once you get used to this beast.

Just couple of criticisms though; screen could be better aswell as camera.
