Samsung licenses Swiftkey

Samsung Keyboard is actually "SwiftKey (TouchType Limited)" edition that has been themed for Samsung.

PROOF: Go to SETTINGS | LANGUAGE AND INPUT | SAMSUNG KEYBOARD SETTINGS (gear icon) | PREDICTIVE TEXT | PRIVACY POLICY

Takes you directly to.... drum roll.. SwiftKey site and lists the privacy policy for the software Samsung licensed.

The reason I point this out is that other than some big theme changes, the engine for prediction (when fully enabled) is SwiftKey. To reduce my memory footprint, even though I own SwiftKey that I'd purchased back when I used an S3, I've not installed it again. That said, I've used both.

Baring the themes and the cloud service to sync your predictions to your multiple devices, performance should be identical.

Granted, it's well hidden, but here's how to unlock more of the Swiftkeyness (sp?):

1. Go to SETTINGS.

2. Go to "Language and Input".

3. Click on the settings icon for "Samsung Keyboard".

4. Note, you can add more input languages (scroll down as you need the additional languages list).

5. Click on "Predictive Text".

You can now learn from Facebook, Gmail, Twitter, Messages and so on to improve the predictions. This is part of the Swiftkey magic, to learn from the services you use.

6. Go back to Samsung Keyboard Settings.

7. Click on Keyboard swipe.

Interesting, one of the selections (default) is SwiftKey Flow. A further indication that it's licensed from SwiftKey.

Granted two significant features are missing, but I've actually come to like the extra row of keys for the numbers. Just wish Samsung would license the full product so that themes would be possible.

So, in summary, if you haven't purchased SwiftKey yet try enabling all the additional prediction features to get a closer experience to the full SwiftKey product. If the keyboard theme is not to your liking, then the full product version is entirely worth it.

I own it and I want to see SwiftKey continue to do well, but if you are also concerned about memory resources and the theme is not a problem then enjoy the built-in SwiftKey (TouchType Limited) or "limited freebie".

Whether this is true or not, SwiftKey performs so much better with more precise key presses and less mistakes. Samsung need to perform some sort of better key calibration imo.
[Galaxy S 5 General] SeaFractor:
I do not disagree that the ability to load a theme on SwiftKey that has a better keyboard layout and key size is fantastic.

The best thing for Samsung? License the keyboard themes from SwiftKey so that we can choose a better layout without having to install another product.

SwiftKey still makes money on each phone sold, or at least that would be the prudent method to license, so even if this reduced SwiftKey purchases they'd make great money if the Samsung Keyboard mirrored even more SwiftKey customizability.
[Galaxy S 5 General] hemander:
Am not a fan of Samsung stock keyboard. Am also using an application for my keyboard. :D
[Galaxy S 5 General] eyecon82:
swiftkey for the win!!

simply because it synchronizes all your data and you have the same keyboard no matter what device you will have in the future instead of having to relearn everything..
[Galaxy S 5 General] gavinfabl:
As has been pointed out the Samsung keyboard is Swiftkey. Adapt it more to your liking in the keyboard settings. If you have used Swiftkey on a previous device and setup a cloud account it will be faster as it has already learnt from your typing. The Samsung Keyboard gets better over time. Also, the Samsung Keyboard has shortcut texts keys for the numbers. Long press a number to insert text. I like this alot.

for example -

Long Press 1 - I'm in a meeting, cant talk , will call you back as soon as possible
[Galaxy S 5 General] carbonize:
TouchPal is not a bad option although the subscription model sucks. Kii Keyboard lacks the ability to learn from Facebook etc.
[Galaxy S 5 General] carbonize:
I have to say that my main issue with the Samsung keyboard is the lack of symbols on the main keyboard which allows for quicker typing and the fact it takes up so much damn screen space with no option to resize.
[Galaxy S 5 General] kthz:
Any of you never gave a shot to google keyboard? You can enable swipe typing on it. And it's better (for me) at predicting new words than both swiftkey and sammy's. It feels like good old swype when it was fast (even faster).
[Galaxy S 5 General] CZ Eddie:
I love Swiftkey but it drives me nuts that it doesn't always give me the option to "learn" some of the various words I use. I really wish it would let me manually add words to my dictionary. Because sometimes when I type something, it does not show me what I'm typing up top. The three choices it gives me are totally not what I'm typing, so I can't add the word.

And would be even sweeter if I could give some words a priority rating, like "high" or "medium" or "low".

And as I'm typing, Swiftkey will move the correct predictive word from the middle, over to the left, just as I'm about to click on the prediction. Drives me nuts.
[Galaxy S 5 General] eyecon82:
did you link it to your google account?

that is the whole point of swiftkey...that it learns....and that you can sync it across various devices

mine has everything learned, like my address...when i type in the street number, the street name, etc pops up as a choice next
[Galaxy S 5 General] CZ Eddie:
Yes, it's linked to my Google. I've been a SwiftKey user for two-three+ years now.

And no, it does not learn everything. :(

But yeah it knows my address and so many other things, which is why I love it.
[Galaxy S 5 General] CZ Eddie:
Like this. You can see here that SwifKey did not give me the option to learn the words I was typing. Drives me nuts because it happens quite frequently.
[Galaxy S 5 General] jprashanthj:
Thank you

Awesome thanks for figuring out that Samsung uses swift key. Completely agree that the only thing i miss on Samsung keyboard is themes.
[Galaxy S 5 General] wajiman:
i only did not migrate to swiftkey as there was no clipboard quick access toggle in the keyboard, have they added it???
[Galaxy S 5 General] me_ashman:
I stopped using swype on mine as it made the phone lag/lockup and drain the battery. Using the stock keyboard is a vast improvement on previous stock keyboards
[Galaxy S 5 General] cbomb101:
I use Kii keyboard and find that great. This comment was written with swipe
[Galaxy S 5 General] carbonize:
Except Kii is no longer in development. The Google keyboard is now excellent but I use SwiftKey as it has the best multi language support of any keyboard.
[Galaxy S 5 General] IareDave:
swift-key in my opinion is much better than Samsung Keyboard. I personally like typing on and I like the customizations that It got but Samsung doesn't.
[Galaxy S 5 General] carbonize:
Apart from the customising the Samsung keyboard IS SwiftKey.
[Galaxy S 5 General] yarch:
Even though the stock keyboard is way better than the one on my HTC, SwiftKey still is my preferred keyboard, I don't like the stock app's lack of long press symbols and accent characters. Never liked swype input though, so I always run with it disabled.

Hi all. I very been searching online for a straight answer on the below inquiries but cannot seems to get any.

I just purchased the Pioneer avic 8000nex navigation and you need a cable kit to use the mirror link ability for the galaxy s4. Essentially you'll be controlling your phone through the navigation system. Can someone help advise which cables are needed and if any of the cables require the head unit to be removed again or just plug and play. Also, I read the mhl adapter also required but when I look online, some say you don't need it and other say you do, but the item number is for the galaxy S3 and not the s4. Can someone assist?

[General Questions and Answers] Myron.S:
I've seem to have fixed a friend phone as it was registering all touches, but was wondering if anyone can tell me what happened. I didn't have to open the phone.

Kept the power button pressed to force-off the phone, but it reboots.

Took battery out, put it back in, powered phone on, touch interface worked for a few seconds than stopped.

Took battery out, put it back in, started phone in maintenance mode (Stock ROM) and formatted cache.

Rebooted phone and without delay selected options to power down the phone normally. Now, as the phone was shutting down it vibrated 3 times as opposed to once. What does this mean?

Turned on the phone and the touch interface now works fine

Again powered down the phone and this time it vibrated once as opposed. What does this mean?

Since then it appears that the phone is working fine. My friend even mentioned it's working a bit quicker.

I don't fully understand what's happened to make the phone work. The significant thing is as the phone was powering off it vibrated three times at the moment of power-off.

Sorry if I've asked in the wrong thread. Not sure where to ask this question. The "General" forum seemed to be the appropriate place.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] alershka:
I had two bootloops today. One was when I was restoring a nandroid in TWRP that froze restoring data, the other was after doing a fast reboot when I installed an exposed framework module. In both cases, it took me almost an hour of holding down my power button and then getting to recovery by pressing the vol+ and power button.

So I am wondering if I have a bad power button or if something else could have caused my problem. I tried pressing the button firmly then loosely. I am not sure what I did differently to get it actually to work but I am concerned. Is there a technique to use to effectively break a bootloop?

I am rooted with S-off. I updated to the latest Verizon firmware a few days ago. I am running the GPE rom release from 4/13. I was thinking of going to a stock based rom in case this was related to GPE but I am wondering if I would be setting myself up for another prolonged bootloop.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
Holding power, vol up, and vol down button for 10 seconds is a hard power off just like if you were to take out the battery. You can do this when the phone is doing anything like bootlooping, in recovery, on, etc.

If it does not work for you, then the power button is faulty.

Do this to turn your phone off. Then vol up + power to boot directly into recovery. Problem solved.

I had this issue and was advised to hold power and vol +, well after a while that didn't do anything so I tried the good ole power and vol - and it rebooted to hboot immediately -_-

It's a problem with bluetooth 3.0 keyboards, caused by interference on the 2.4 ghz bandwith. I read there are going to be bleutooth fixes in 4.4.3, but it's not exactly clear what's meant by that.

Hi,

I tried several ROMs but none of them meets the requirements I need, and I've no time to try them all... then, i ask you if anyone know if there is a Rom that (in order of importance):

- Gives EXT4 or similar to extend the memory on the SD card (out-of-memory is my first problem with stock roms)

- Is enough stable

- Have all basic (as in stock) functions working (wireless, FM radio, gps, Camera ecc... regardless to graphic bug)

- Have decent battery-duration

I don't play games on the phone, but I use it often for GPS navigation (TOMTOM and Navigon) and for various utility.

Is there any Rom that reach these requirements?

Thanks

I haven't been able to get voice dial to work from say one. Sliding down while the phone is sleep just turns on the screen. Sometimes voice dilaer will show up but that's every 6 or 7 tries. Sometimes the mic will flash and then disappear.

Anyone else??

The key to the others is movement. Without enough movement of the phone prior to double tap it will not wake. Don't know if that's your issue.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Houser:
Hello,

I know the place in the phone options (on the band page) where you can

change the network from GPRS to UMTS (3G).

But is this possible to do programmatically with RIL or TAPI or another API

on the pocket pc device?

Thanks for any suggestions.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] craigiecraigie4:
I support this request; Many topics on the board cover erratic behaviour with JJ, and ppl return their device to no avail. Swopping to another operator often helps. The issues SEEMS to be a poor UMTS reception with a given SIM or location, and this results in JJ trying to connect to UMTS or even latching on to UMTS but with an abysmal signal. After more than 15mins (annecdotal) of this is fails to ever go back to GSM without a reboot.

Solution is to turn off UMTS, but that's darned inconvenient cos you OFTEN want 3G speed (mail, RSS, google/surf).

Here's a way forwards; can someone tell us what reg entry gets changed when we select GSM vs UMTS? I will then write a couple of .reg files that can be launched from iLauncher (or whatever). Buzz coule probably write a switching app like he did for BT.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mikrotom:
i have the same problem

When i use my Universal at home, there is pretty low level of UMTS/WCDMA signal and full level of standard GSM signal. By default Universal changes between those two sources automaticaly. But in my case, the quality of WCDMA signal is often varying just around critical level. So the result is that Universal changes band to GSM and back. And then again. And again. And... Due this, there is sometimes not possible to make data connection, because Uni is so much occupied by changing bands back and forth...

I would like to find a better solution, than select only GSM manually in phone settings. Especially because i have to unselect it manually every time when leaving home :-(

Is there any way to set treshold value (i expect increase it) for automatic switching between WCDMA and GSM?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Houser:
I still do not know how to switch from UMTS to GPRS and back

with some API function (or AT command) on the device.

If I get these Infos from someone that would be great.

Then I could write a tool that checks the signal quality

and the network status and if UMTS signal is too low

it will activate GPRS.

I think this can be done with RIL API but have not found

any infos.

I upgraded from a M7 and it appears the earpiece volume is lower. Anyone have a similar experience? Trying to determine if its just me... Thanks.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] superm3:
the m7 volume for the headphone is far superior to m8. I am using the player pro to play all my musics. The m7 sound is clear and crisp. however on the m8 I am not satisfy with the quality and volume of the m8. You can turn the volume all the way up and it would feel like something is missing. I wanted to return the m8 badly because of it. But then I tweak the EQ on Player pro and downloaded the virper4android and tweak the EQ on there also. Its still not as good as m7 but close to it. I still like my m8 because of the sd card but I wish the size would be between 4.3 or 4.7 inch. I'm using viperrom on both my m7 and m8.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] TriBeard:
Check and make sure that there isn't some kind of adaptive volume feature enabled for calls or something.

As far as audio quality, I think the M8 blows away my M7. Now, I have decent headphones, and they don't really need an EQ to sound how I like them to sound, so that may be different for other people. The M8 has been getting reviews raving about the audio quality though, and it has a thread over on Head-fi saying the same. The difference between the two is probably the beats vs boomsound EQ. If you like the m7 better, you probably just liked that "sound" more, which should be able to accomplish through software. The hardware itself is better though.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] SeanFloyd:
The speaker quality is great but for whatever reason the earpiece volume does seem very low.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] redalertlb:
Yea I didn't notice it myself until yesterday when I was walking the dog. It just wasn't loud enough for some reason. Call clarity is nice but the volume is missing a few steps
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] EtherealRemnant:
You guys think its low? I have to turn it down. The first time I made a call the other day I thought I was going to blow my ear drum, I have to set it around 50% while my M7 was always on max.

Sound is much better than the M7 all the way around in my eyes. Maybe its a ROM thing, I don't know if InsertCoin has tweaked the audio at all (if it has been tweaked, baadnewz hasn't said anything about it)

Test this,

I experienced this myself. I was talking with a friend and noticed very low volume. While talking, I tried to turn up the volume but no change. as soon as I moved the phone away from my ear and the screen turned on, I was then able to adjust volume. It seems, at least for me, that you can not change the incall volume while the phone is against your ear. Do a test call and try.
