Nokia makes solid phones, they just need to give up on Windows and Symbian and all that other crap and make an Android phone already. So I laugh at them for continuing to support a crappy OS

If Android developers would stop being so lazy and develop more Dalvik encoding than falling back with simple Java among cleaning up there debugging cpde before releasing their apps (leaving apps bloated and bogged down), I might feel better about it..but until then, I have gone the other route. :\

Also I feel Google needs to invest more R&D into their onscreen keyboard functionality. We should not need to find better keyboards or alternatives, and yet, they always act strangely. IF* though, IF* that One Z came out...man- that would have made my day. Such as this.maybe in a few years. we will see.

My heart goes out to XDA however, you are all stellar and have made systems better than that of what Google, Samsung, or HTC has developed. I tip my hat to you all. Kudos
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
Didn't Microsoft pay them tons of money to only make windows phones or like Microsoft bailed them out from going under. I think I remember reading about it a long time ago
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilgerryan:
Yes, because they can't make phones for themselves, idk why. I would have bought the Lumia if it was Android, that thing is slick. They've been behind on things since Android came out because it was better than Symbian and the Nokia phones still used resistive touchscreens (had to use a fingernail to scroll), but damn those things never died if you didn't get them wet
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNexus:
Dude, dalvik is an adapted and optimized form of the JVM...it reads Java code that has been compiled into smali

You cant improve "dalvik encoding" because theres no such thing, its just a form of the compiled Java code.

Have you not tried the 4.2 keyboard? My favorite one, Google nailed it.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strapped365:
The 4.2 keyboard that you guys use is much different than the one on my Nexus. But yes Google sure did nail it with the gesture typing and everything else.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNexus:
Man I love that keyboard. It's ridiculously awesome
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quetzalcoatl:
The new Swype keyboard kicks ass! I'm using it right now and I love it more than swiftkey.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klund29078:
+1
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilgerryan:
Which one are you talking about?
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quetzalcoatl:
The one that finally got out of beta and got released on the play store:beer:
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilgerryan:
Just bought it since it was only a dollar, I always did like the Beta better than the built in.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvpre:
I would get occasional lag with the beta KB as opposed to no lag with the built in KB. I haven't tried the newly release version though...but I imagine it would still lag like the beta.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quetzalcoatl:
No lag here. Performs better than any other keyboard I've tried. Far more accurate than swiftkey too. Not as many customization options yet though. The only thing I'm missing from swiftkey is the ability to change the long press duration.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilgerryan:
Same here definitely faster and more accurate on the Shift and SGS2. The themes are definitely a nice addition as well. Definitely worth $.99!
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quetzalcoatl:
I've found myself actually swyping on this keyboard. I didn't use the "flow" feature of swiftkey much.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konichwa:
Yeah, I tried the later swype keyboard and SwiftKey. I have also tried the 4.2 keyboard. I ended up liking SwiftKey along with flow more than Swype and the 4.2 keyboard still fell short of what I think could be done better (more r&d i still say).

After a week or so with any of these keyboards, they just don't seem to learn personal gestures too well. All the same, I give Google/HTC/Samsun another year before their systems are more fine tuned.

In thus, why I loved the HTC Shift so much and I still believe qwerty keyboards are the way to go for Android's (until they get the system figured out). I really hope they come out with that One Z!!!
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilgerryan:
I Swype all the time, that's why I'm ok with no keyboard. I'm a lazy typer and with Swype I only have to use one hand and I don't have to pay as much attention lol.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klund29078:
I'm a beast with any physical qwerty. I don't always use the touchscreen keyboards, but when I do, I prefer Swype beta. I haven't tried the new Swype in the market yet.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilgerryan:
It is the beta one that they thought was good enough to finally release. And it is. Beta+ themes+ faster+ more accurate= awesomeness
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klund29078:
The beta I have has like 10 themes already with it, or do you mean you can customize it? I'm all for speed though so I'm sure I'll check it out. Hell what's $0.99

beer is good :) It's been friggin awesome i tell you what.

I wish HTC made better builds and lower radiation like they used to...Seriously--- I was realy excited for the HTC One up until I held it...then, it all went down the drain.

HOT -- even at the sprint store... and one of the highest ranked SAR ratings of them all.

After some spaking with people..folks were saying that Samsung was taking on the competition of better built phones.

I must say-- it does feel pretty good in the hand!

I just flashed CM10.1 (23/03/2013) using CWM v6.0.3.0, followed trough every step of the tutorial, the ROM runs just fine but I just can't install gapps. (Trying gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zp)

Here's what i get:

- Finding update package...

- Opening update package...

- Installing update...

- Installing Google Apps for Android 4.2.2..

- Mouting system...

- Copying files...

- Fixing Permissions...

- Unmounting system...

- Installation complete!

Install from sdcard complete.

Then I wipe Dalvik cache, wipe data/factory reset and reboot.

And then... Nothing! It's just not showing up. Can anyone help me out? Am I doing something wrong?

PS.: I also getting that yellow warning sign once i downgraded to CWM v6.0.2.9, as CM10.1 tutorial asked. Any thoughts?

after installing the Gapps package do not wipe data/factory reset ma8, just wipe Cache/dalvik and then reboot phone:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fbodra:
Got an improvement but not quite there yet. Tried to install an older version of gapps (for 4.0 android) and got a message when rebooting ("Unfortuantely, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped)

Then it got locked on that messagind (it kept looping it around).

So then I went back to CWM and reinstalled updated gapps. Now I got the same message, but the phone booted. I successfully logged in to google account, but every time I reboot my phone I get that same message again.

One more thing. CWM 10.1 don't roll down status bar with updates and I just don't have a lock screen.

Any thoughts?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mtmerrick:
what i'm looking for is a mod (flashable or DIY instructions, i don't care) that'll

-remap the buttons to multitask, home, back

-remap longpress home to google now

-activate onscreen menu overflow buttons in apps (as seen on phones without dedicated menu keys)

-put a Sense 4 style menu bar on the bottom of the screen on apps that need it - but slim! not massive like the onscreen keys that i get if i turn em on via buildprop editing

i've tried doing this myself and i can get as far as remapping the individual keys (and i managed once - i forget how - to remap the longpress home) but i can't get the menu overflow buttons in apps to appear for anything, and i don't even know how to start getting the Sense-style menu bar. In fact, when i remapped the menu button to multitasking, i couldn't access the menu in any app at all.

oh, and i want to do this on a touchwiz based rom, because of the s-pen and camera goodies.

if this isn't possible, is there at least some way to make menu the multitasking button, and longpress it for menu, while activating the onscreen menu buttons?

(hell, if that can't be done, can i just leave it as is and get the menu overflow buttons? because they'd make using the phone via external monitor or s-pen - both of which i do a lot - much, much easier)

thanks in advance!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibm9001:
When the N4 was announced I couldn't wait to get one… until I found out it didn't have a removable battery.

But then after not too long I found out the battery is removable and that all that stands in the way of replacing it are two screws on the base of the phone that hold on the back. So I thought to myself, "Fantastic! It's only a matter of time before somebody starts selling replacement backs that give access to the battery!"

But as far as I know that moment hasn't come. What's the big idea? I don't have the means or know-how to create such a product, but surely somebody does. Why wouldn't this be made? There must be tens of thousands of N4 owners who would want to be able to carry a spare battery and replace it on the go.

Am I mistaken? Is this available somewhere? And wouldn't you want this?

Until this does exist I'm sticking with my GNex.

[Q] Is there a way to mass set "Auto update" in play store after a T.backup restore?

Just was wondering, after updating a rom, or titanium backup restore of all your apps. Seems that they dont get set in the play store to "auto update", so usually I have to wind up doing it 1 by 1. Was there a way to mass set the auto update on all my apps? Cause the Play Store Settings, while set to auto update for new apps. Only will be applied on apps installed from play store, not from a restore from backup.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amit34521:
first make sure that the restored app is available on store. if it is first install it from store before backup. then only restore the data coz if you install app from other source than store then it will not be updated if even it is available on store. or you backup the market version and restore the whole package and then reinstall the one from market. it says app already installed just overwrite the previous installation and from settings on play store select auto update so any available update will be installed automatically. i have tried this for many games and it works well.

Hit thanks if i helped at all.
