[G2 General] Jeffruby:
What keyboards have you guys been using for your lg2?

For my comparisons just wanted to state that I type >60 wpm on a regular keyboard and probably 30-40 wpm on the phone. I usually hold the phone and peck with two thumbs, sometimes use one handed Swype peck combo. Also I use a lot of slang and abbreviations when I type.

Google keyboard-

Positives- perfect and consistent level of vibration on key touches. No lag, 7/10 accurate swiping, change of long press duration. I like the spacing between the keys. Like the clean look.

Negatives-3/10 predictive text (usually just predicts words like the, a, on etc.). New update ugly black and white. New update removes comma if you want google voice on your keyboard.

Swiftkey- highest rated. I have used a ton.

Positives- best predictive text engine 9/10. Good cobalt color scheme. Able to shorten long press duration. On lg2 almost lag free and can mostly keep up with me.

Negatives- if you make a mistake it is more difficult to fix errors because of predictive engine. Swype is least accurate to me (2/10). Sometimes the vibration is heavy then soft which I find annoying. Swyping shows you next word,instead of current word. Sometimes I type fast and trigger the Swype = error. No spacing between keys

Touchpal

Positives- cool popup graphics and floating corrections (also negative as can be distracting), almost lag free, but slightly more lag than Swiftkey when typing fast. Swyping very good 8/10. Cool editing option. Many themes.

Negatives- a bit annoying to Swype up and down for numbers and punctuation when tap typing. Cannot long press for numbers as delay not adjustable and takes too long. Sometimes double tap space does not put in a period- very annoying. Does not use Google voice dictation system. No spacing between keys. Very inconsistent vibration while typing.

Swype-

Positives- best swiping keyboard by far 9/10.

Negatives- laggy at times and very laggy to tap type. Difficult using slang or non proper English. Tougher to edit mistakes.

Lg stock-

Poo pooed this one out of the box, using it for last few days.

Positives- great spacing of keys. Good looking with a few skins. Number row and symbols row at top after finish a word (makes up for non adjustable long long press delay). Good swiping (7/10). Good predictions not as good as Swiftkey). No lag. Vibration consistent. Uses Google voice.

Negatives-vibration a bit too strong and not adjustable. Long press delay not adjustable. Wish comma was to left of space (but getting used to this). Hard to get to "-" key which I use a lot.

Believe it or not my overall keyboard of choice (this week) is the lg2 stock! Can't believe it. Any lag automatically kills a keyboard for me.

I've used the old FlexT9 Nuance since 2011 and I was pretty attached to it. I loaded it on every device I used for a long time. But since I got a G2, I like the LG stock one just fine. I don't even think about using another keyboard on it..
[G2 General] SoCGHOST:
For the LG keyboard I'm going to have to disagree with you on the prediction. In fact it miss-predicts almost every word I trace. I think at best its 50% accurate. I have been a long to time user and fan of Swype because it is super accurate, but alas it has no number row. Anyone that has used a keyboard without a number row knows how nice it is to have one and not need to long press. This is the only place I have seen the LG keyboard win out. Otherwise, every time I use the LG keyboard I get so frustrated and swear I'm going back to Swype... I still haven't, but only because of the number row!
[G2 General] Raverrevolution:
Personally I'm using the Google keyboard. I love the default LG one, but I cannot stand that the spacebar on the bottom is spaced a little to the left. Whoever works at LG and made it that way needs a punch in the face, because otherwise it feels much better than the rest and even has the number keys on top. With the way it is I keep inputting a comma in when it should be a space and cannot get used to it.

I completely agree that any lag kills a keyboard which is why I don't use swiftkey. I keep seeing rave reviews for it. It's one of the best selling apps. Luckily I got the full version free from the Amazon app store when they put it up for free to download. The slight lag completely kills it for me. The keyboard itself looks nice and functions well except for the lag.

Now the Google keyboard isn't perfect either and the recent changes made it worse. It functions very well, no lag, but seriously lacking emoji and other cool looking symbols the other keyboards have. On top of that now you can't place the mic button on the symbols keyboard anymore. It's either on the main keyboard or completely off. Why on earth did they have to change that??? It was perfect the way it was. Stupid Google.

Why on earth can't anyone out there make the perfect keyboard?? It would need;

1)The keys to be spaced right and the space bar at the bottom wide

2)No lag at all

3)Number keys on top

4)Being able to switch from typing to mic on the fly and not be intrusive.

And last of lesser importance 5)good swipe function and predictive text.
[G2 General] SomethingWild88:
I've tried using the Google Keyboard, I've tried using the stock LG keyboard, but I find myself continually going back to SwiftKey just for the simple fact of the punctuation key. I love that I can swipe left for an exclamation mark or right for a question mark. I know it may seem stupid, but that's why I always come back to SwiftKey.
[G2 General] Gnarfsan:
I always come back to SwiftKey

Reasons:

- Keyboard layout

- Best text prediction

- You can swype whole sentences in one go.

On a sidenote, keyboards are def. one of the main reasons I use Android. It would be a living nightmare to go back to the iOS keyboard for me.
[G2 General] jiayit:
Using Google Keyboard! LG's one is great but it's absolutely ugly, to the point where I simply can't stand it.
[G2 General] in_dmand:
For me it's SwiftKey hands down... I do experience the different strength vibrations, but that hasn't been until the last update I do not believe. But I definitely don't experience any lag at all... I used to on my galaxy nexus, but not on my g2 :D.

My one complaint about SwiftKey is that sometimes it doesn't learn new words or especially has problems learning combinations of words. But overall it's the only keyboard that I keep coming back to, no others even compare.

But I will say that I typically use two hands like you and peck at it with my thumbs. What I absolutely love about SwiftKey is that I can type strings of three or four words together and it figures it out
[G2 General] DHM078:
I too find myself coming back to SwiftKey. On older phones I would find myself flipping between different keyboards because SwiftKey has that bit of lag. But on this phone, while I can still make it lag if I really try, it is so much smoother than any previous phone I have used and the lag is very rare and slight at worst. And even when laggy on old phones, the simple fact of the matter was that with the way I type, I can consistently type faster and more accurately on SwiftKey than on any other keyboard. That is what has kept me using it. The fact that it looks nice and clean compared to say, TouchPal is a plus. The old Google keyboard is nice too, simple and quick but I can type faster with others. LG's keyboard I wish I could give a holo theme or something, but for the most part I like it. The number bar has been quite useful. But again, most of the time, I type faster with TouchPal and SwiftKey. TouchPal is a bit ugly, it's just busy looking, but it's theming capability has mitigated that somewhat, not by directly reducing that but by adding a nice elements to the look to compensate I guess. I can type much faster on it than Google or LG. But in the end, I still type the fastest and most comfortably with SwiftKey. No question about it.
[G2 General] pimfram:
I know what you're saying. I don't understand why other keyboards make it so tough to find punctuation. Only thing that I don't like about SwiftKey is they recently changed the layout for the special characters but I don't use them that often so it's not a huge deal.
[G2 General] Fedtheincred:
The lg stock keyboard has definitely grown on me but one thing i have noticed is that i have way more typos than on swift key or Google keyboard.
[G2 General] Geekybiker:
The LG keyboard was autocorrecting words to things that weren't even real words, and in general having terrible prediction. Had to get rid of it. Plus the punctuation keys changing the short press every time I long pressed to get to a different punctuation was annoying. Swiftkey is the best predictor out there by far that I've used.
[G2 General] cggorman:
Used either Google or Thumb Keyboard on the old GNex. Haven't yet found one I really like on the G2. I don't swipe so that's irrelevant for me. Never tried Swiftkey, but I probably will.

The LG board blows for the most part. Amazingly poor auto correct and the comma key should be left of the space bar, IMO.
[G2 General] casiouser:
LG hands down for me for just the Number row alone! But I do mess up on the space bar often. I'm sure I'll adjust soon.
[G2 General] v2.2v:
Google keyboard or Kii Keyboard. Kii Keyboard is probably the best I've ever used. Try it out
[G2 General] kobefan2476:
Fleksy beta for me. I find it really accurate. It doesn't have any swiping capabilities but I don't swipe at all so I love it. It does have a learning curve to it though.
[G2 General] Big Boy Laroux:
I've been using Kii for a while now, too. Definitely the best I've used. All keyboards have faults, but this one doesn't have many (occasional autocorrect with duplicate words comes to mind)
[G2 General] force70:
I used big buttons keyboard for years but liking the stock keyboard. Just wish there was some nice themes for it...the stock ones are boring

Sent from my G2,Note 3 or S4
[G2 General] Jeffruby:
After a few days went back to the grey boring Google keyboards. Damn its just too fast and the multi touch makes me fastest in it. Boring but true. Also takes up much less real estate.

I have a problem with Twitter notification settings. When I try to change Twitter's notifications settings it's always gives this error: "you can only attach 25 devices with your account" Anyone knows about this problem? It's really annoying. I already tried to revoke all the apps from my account and clear the app's data sort of things, it didn't work.

I already did that.

Same problem her, i found a solution for me 1hour ago.

Awkward thing, i install twitter in my HTC Dream G1, and notifications work, but on my nexus 5 not, they say same post 1 ''only 25 devices ....''

So, in my G1, i go on ''delete account from this device'', and now twitter notifications work on my Nexus.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miz_pimp:
Unfortunately, that didn't work for me. I signed out of my Desire S, that also had working notifications, and still revoked access to Twitter for Android, before logging back into my P6, but it didn't make a difference at all. I'm still waiting to hear from Twitter Support.

EDIT: Ok, I have it working now! I turned off notifications and sync on my DS, then signed into my P6, and it's finally working! This time though, I didn't revoke access to Twitter for Android!

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anir1.618:
Yo Guys!!!

This is my first post here so please take care of me.

I am going to upgrade to an Xperia Z1 from my HTC one by next month. I just needed some input from you guys on a matter I am a bit insecure about.

Online reviews are constantly bashing the phone for its sub-par brightness and ultra bad viewing angles. My HTC did everything right in the screen estate department. I would like to know what changes should I expect if I get the beast from Sony in relation to:

Viewing angles

Outdoor Visibility

Contrast

It would be awesome if some genuine Z1 user shed a bit of light on this matter.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pro4Eva:
The Z1 is a step above the Z screen but is not the best that is available in the market.. the Z Ultra although larger is a better display..if are alright with a PolyCarb build phone I would suggest a LG G2 as its got a great OIS camera and a larger (and superior) Screen plus the same internals as a Z1..I Know I am gonna get a lot of hate for this but it is a logical move if and only if water and dust proofing is not a criteria..I moved from a Z1 to the HTC One and I have owned a G2 For a couple of months so u know where I come from..I would suggest u seriously give a thought to the G2 before u invest in a Z1..

I hope I helped..

Cheers
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantk20111:
-Viewing angles: Definitely not the best in the market, but not a dealbreaker at least for me. How often do you look at your screen off center? If you look at it directly it's one of the best screens in the market. Anything more than 20 degrees off-center and it starts washing out (but you can still read text). This is largely subjective, for me it's not a huge problem.

-Outdoor visibility: one of the best devices out there for that. IMO it's the best Android phone for outdoor visibility, 2nd only to the iPhone 5S. Where did you read that it was bad?

-Contrast:Pretty good head on. Probably not as good as the HTC One but as good as the LG G2 definitely. Of course because of the not so good viewing angles contrast starts going away pretty quickly once you move off center.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anir1.618:
Hey,

Thanks for the awesome reply.

In relation to the outdoor visibility, I just wanted to know how good it is. I never said that I read it was in any case bad.

And thanks for clearing out my viewing angle doubt. Probably I have to live with it, but oh well, I really don't care much for it. The only reason I asked was because if I am getting a $700 product I wanted every inch of it to be worth $700.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashouhdy:
I have just made your move from a week ago.

Go swap your phone without thinking twice.

You wont notice any change unless u tilt the screen for extreme angles.

And yes the display is as bright sharp and great as the Htc One in normal handling.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cingolat:
nobody talk about battery? I find z1 the best android phone I have ever had about battery, you can cover whole day with heavy use( or at least I do) and this is the real point with today smartphone......with my z1 I never worry about battery......I think this is important....

and just two other tips.....if you take z1 I suggest you to NOT peel off the anti-shutter film, you can live with it and please don't unlock bootloader or root or downgrade or anything else, the phone is great as it is, consider that in a few weeks sony say give us 4.3 and maybe a few months we have kitkat(sony as just say taht) so for now dont mess up the phone and enjoy as it is.......maybe later in 2014 when there'll be more custom rom you can consider to root ecc ecc.......just my 2cents.....
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ara.armagedon:
I had an HTC One so I know exactly what you're getting into! Viewing angles are not an issue for you, it's a problem for others! If you wanna show some photos or something on your phone for a bunch of people at the same time some of them may complain! Blacks are better on the Z1 but whites look better on the One, and outdoor visibility is better than the One but still not so good

---------- Post added at 07:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 AM ----------

Let me tell you something kinda off topic though! I'm loving the Z1 more and more every day! This is the first time a phone outside the iOS ecosystem had made me feel this way. I'm telling you you won't be disappointed

And G2 is a great phone but it is extremely ugly like Samsung (I think it's a Korean thing!)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashouhdy:
one more thing to be honest. the only thing made me felt sorry and felt downgrading is the Speakers Experience. the Dual Front boom speakers of the htc one are the best in class. So am saying that to expect a very inferior speaker quality. BUT thats because u can go swim with the Z1 without a worry :D
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Furma:
i had htc one x

one x has much brighter screen, deeper blacks, better viewing angles - screen is much better in general (even tho its lower resolution)

color reproduction and viewing angles dont even come close on my new Z1

and viewing angles DO matter, as screen gets washed out from just about every angle, you HAVE to watch the screen head on in order to get the full experience which is damn annoying

IPS screens are that much better

TFT doesnt even come close, no matter what software tech sony puts in it

luckily build quality and battery are great so i am not that disappointed with my purchase

also HTC phones have MUCH better developer support for their phones (huge number of roms)

You don't need to have 4.3 in order to De-Brick. DeBricking is at system and bootloader level. I'd suggest trying to debrick using the prescribed process. Once its back to normal, you can install any version you want.

---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------

it is theoretically possible the source build could matter. The image only includes the first 12 or 13 full partitions, so the remaining 10 or so could possibly make a difference. This is what i have been hoping while trying to restore my phone.

As an example, using aerowinders MJC built image i actually got a few vibrations out of the phone. It only happened once, but nothing else has given me a single spark of hope!
