[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onthecouchagain:
I have to say, the keyboard and typing is one of the few sore spots I have for the Android experience. While the new stock keyboard is much improved over previous iterations, it can still be a bit slow and unresponsive, often missing certain presses; and its auto-correction just isn't as clever as it should be. Another issue I have, particularly with the Nexus S, is that other times, the screen is too sensitive, it seems. Has anyone tried this yet: you can hover your finger slightly off the screen, and it'll register as a press. This might be contributing to hitting wrong keys and spelling errors when my thumbs glaze over the keyboard while typing fast. It's very frustrating. The biggest culprit of this problem seems to occur when I'm trying to type "I'm"... it almost always results in "km" instead. Other examples are when letters get registered twice, like tthis or like thiss. However, it's prone to missing space bar presses, resulting too often in words likethis.

Unfortunately, Google decided to not provide any customizable dictionary or custom auto-correct features. This is baffling to me and where Google's attempt to copy the Apple keyboard goes too far. Speaking of Apple, I say this without any intention of starting immature flame wars, but the iPhone - and even the iPod touch - keyboards are far more smooth, responsive, and reliable. Anyone who has typed extensively on both platforms will know what I mean. I can type with utmost confidence on an iPhone (that's not to say it's perfect). I cannot say I type confidently with my Nexus. And forget about including sound or haptic feedback; these things seem to slow the typing experience down, where it'll miss even more key presses.

Everyone's typing methods and speeds are different, so everyone will have different typing experiences, but for me, it continues to be a sore spot. Which leads me to my next question: when is Blindtype going to be implemented? Anyone heard any new news on it?

Anyway, to answer the OP's question: I am currently trialing Swiftkey. It can be impressive at times, and it's often very intuitive, but I find it's actually slower than typing out on a regular keyboard because I'm too busy making sure it chooses the right words. Then again, it might still be "learning." We'll see when the 31-day trial is over.

Prior to this, I was using Smart Keyboard Pro, which isn't as responsive and quick as stock Android, but it has tons of customizable features which make up for it (for example, I can custom the auto-correction to always change "km" to "I'm"). This is what I'll go back to if I pass on purchasing Swiftkey.

PS. I have Swype as well, and it's fun, but not practical in my opinion.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
The best keyboard for me is NO KEYBOARD. For short stuff, like text or emails or a short forum message, you really should give voice input a go for a few days and see how much easier it is than anything else.

Swiftkey my favorite keyboard at the moment, but another fine one and my primary keyboard before I heard of SwiftKey is Better Keyboard (not sure there's a free trial on it), but there's a free public beta going on right now.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dajakil:
Im not sure if this is the right place to ask, but im gonna say it anyway. Ok I have the *hot* ultimatedroid froyo rom for hd2 the one that claims its the fastest and stable, and its non sense vanilla android. Ok I love the rom and everything but the custom lock screen really just irritates me. Is there any way I can change it to the original froyo lock screen that I liked before? If not, its fine but I just wanna know if its possible
[Touch HD General] ADB100:
Since the original thread was closed without any solution I have had to create a new one - sorry...

The PM I got was how to change the default icons which isn't what I asked. I don't want to replace any icons I just want to know what is missing. With 5.2.23151 I think I had 9 shortcuts/icons on the 1st settings page. With 5.2.23152 I now have 8. If someone can compare this page with theirs for me?

Thanks, Andy
[Touch HD General] Smobbo:
The energy roms have the same icons with 2 extra (get carrier time and start menu layout switch), but they aren't standard.

So maybe your mind is playing tricks ;)?
[Touch HD General] ADB100:
Probably...:) Thanks for replying.
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Probably me that closed it lol....sorry. I'll keep this one open until confirmation of solution.......if it ain't all in your head ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattwaddy:
Ok so there are obvious NAND builds which I can flash as per WM ROMS, they will boot fine, but can I put an SD build on my sd card and it boot direct from MAGLDR?

I know it supports booting android from SD but which builds? Also do the files have to be in a different location that sd\Android?

Thanks we could really do with a MAGLDR 101 type sticky

Thanks in advance

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hxz:
I have (had) a rooted Hero with Froyo CM 6.2.0 (Dec. 31 build). As the internal memory ran out I was trying to partition my 8Gb SD card , but didn't see the change on internal memory (still show 160M) after, so I did wipe and (failed) formatting of the SD card using adb and ROM Manager. Now the phone is not recognized with adb and it just hung with white HTC screen when rebooting. The SD card is not recognizable from the phone or with a card reader from Windows.

Where should I start now?

I had ROM manager installed on external sd card. now it's gone with the wipe and partition I believe..

Sorry for making it like a mess:( Thanks in advance!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrew378:
Dude. This is "Android Development". Hence all the ROM and *development* threads. Your post is a question. That belongs in Q&A. It's not that frigging hard. Jesus.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrikjesus:
You will have to look for the RUU for your carier. Just search the forum for RUU Hero CDMA or google it.

That will set you back to stock, Then you can use z4root or your choice to root and then flash your recovery w/ Clockworkmod or RA. :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiffany84:
My god. Calm down. All u had to say was, hey man u should maybe post this in q&a but here's what u need to do. Not everyone goes to mod academy and is as smart as u. I would much rather have somebody make a simple mistake like this guy then to have people like u that have nothing useful to add or no help to offer when someone is in a desperate situation. If your phone wouldn't boot and u thought u just completely messed it up are u really going to be thinking about what section your question goes in or are u just going to get it on here as fast as possible so some of the brightest and most gifted people you've ever met could help u out? Sorry for this long rant, I'm just tired of people acting like there perfect and that its there job to remind everyone that there posting in the wrong section and instead of just simply reminding the person and then trying to help them they gotta be an ass about it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirmx:
When there is a sticky in the rom dev forum that says not to post questions, and people still do, then a post like andrew378 made is warranted. Nothing to do with being smart and everything to do with basic comprehension.

If my phone didn't boot, I'd look for answers first. Research and find the best place to post. Q&A vs Android Development. Hmm, well I'm not doing any development or talking about developing something, so Q&A it is. Also, if your phone is that important to you, one might think twice about attempting something that could render it a useless paperweight. Especially if you don't know what you are doing to begin with.

No one is acting perfect. Just expect that people put in a little bit of effort if they want help.

edit: Not to mention that there are two posts from the OP with the same problem. So not only was it posted wrong, it was double posted.

Now, I don't use apps2sd anymore, but if I recall, that your internal memory doesn't change it's value, but when you install apps you shouldn't see that value decrease like normal. The value will decrease, but that is due to other things explained in the apps2sd thread in the dev forum.

I am doing a little self promotion here but no advertising involved!

Having owned a Galaxy S GT-I9000 for several months now I have picked up a Nexus S and wish to try my hand at a review. For now I have three days of use and opinions up on the site and an in depth compare with audio quality recordings as well as video and picture comparisons coming in the next few days.

The intention is to give a more UK / EU focused look since we have the GT-I9000 Galaxy S here where most of the reviews are looking at variations in the US such as the Captivate.

Please do feel free to make comments, or ask questions on the site, here, or at http://twitter.com/nailerr as I want this to be useful to anyone who is thinking of shelling out for a Nexus S!

The page is http://technocrate.net

Thanks, all!
[Nexus S General] suomaf:
Nice, I was thinking about doing this until I saw your post. I just got the nexus S tonite and I must say I am pretty impressed with it so far. Especially the auto restore of the market apps. I am in pretty much the same scenario as you, I got mom to buy the phone in US and I am in Asia, so returning it is pretty much not an option.

A little peeved at a few things tho, how did you get around these?

01. Got the same back button problem.. but not too concerned about it

02. Tried to play pocket legends, and it hanged the phone in about 5 mins.. as in no force close just hang.. had to do a take out battery and restart

03. Where is the video player in this thing? do not see it in the apps, installed rock player.. hating the ads, but wanting to see if there is any better options before committing to the big price they are asking for

04. got the screen protector from best buy and it is so much fail that it is not funny Hoping that there will be better options pretty soon.

However all in all, I am still quite happy with it just small stuff.. which I guess I had when the i9000 came out too

Nice review, let us know if you have any more thoughts in a few more days.
[Nexus S General] nicholasbgr:
The video player is part of the Gallery app, if you have videos on the external storage it will show up there. I use mVideoPlayer, it's free and I'm quite happy with it although it doesn't have MKV support.

About the Back button at first I though I had the same problem with my unit. But then I realized that the issue was happening only when I used my left hand to hold the phone and my left thumb to touch the back button. I started paying attention to this and I finally noticed that I wasn't touching the actual button, but the 'dead' area on the side of it. See the picture below:

When I thought the button was unresponsive I was actually touching the area in red, but the sensitive area is the highlighted in blue. This is probably due to my previous device being a Milestone which had the back button very close to the corner. Maybe you guys are doing the same thing or maybe I'm the only one dumb enough to do this and my unit is not defective hahaha.

edit: oh, and I'm on the same ship of you guys. I can't return the device and I'm afraid I have the screen issue when the brightness is set to low and the gray tones get all weird. I'm used to it though lol
[Nexus S General] Vulpix:
Mine's the same. I think your motorola had some qc tolerance issue. :s13:
[Nexus S General] Jonathon Grigg:
Thankyou so much for that! I was starting to worry about my back button not working properly, and I really don't want to have to pay to get it shipped back for repairs, then shipped over here again. I will see if this helps me!
[Nexus S General] nailerr:
No reason not to voice an opinion! We are some of those who took an expensive plunge outside the retail regions and may find useful things for other people. So your questions in order:

01. I will possibly exchange mine when next in the UK, as suggested below it might be a bit off but I have spent an hour or so just testing the button with different fingers and pressure since I know my index finger tip is less conductive than the flat. Tough skin! I think it is a widespread defect but a defect nonetheless.

02. I have had one total lockup so far, sounds exactly the same. It was not in a game that I recall and honestly did not note what did it since it was just the once but given you had it happen in a game and Gingerbread is so new it would not be entirely unreasonable to put it down to some OpenGL hangup. The Hummingbird in the Nexus S has one of the faster GPU's on the market and also some media extensions called NEON, combine this with some new UI hardware acceleration with the GPU and... Well these things seem likely to happen.

03. As nicholasbgr said the Gallery is the video player. Android stock is very basic. Something I need to mention actually is that the Galaxy S is a very capable media machine out the box.

04. I had a Zagg InvisibleShield for my Motorola Milestone before finding out it was Gorilla Glass. Super, super tough. A little hard to apply since it does not simple glue on but very much worth looking into. They claim a lifetime warranty on your device if something scratches through the film.

Thanks for the reply too, I will check back to the other replies in a bit but I have to run from the computer for now!

[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
"Easiest" way to repair dead S8500 or other handset with working JTAG Testpoints.

Clone simple working handset 1:1. :D

Then you can use working Image (JTAG Dump).

If you have only dead Wave. Then you need someone, who is willing to share his working dump. Otherwise you can only restore Boot Loader with big Luck... But maybe NV items and other important Settings are for ever gone...

Again. Copy Memory from working/alive handset.

Sometimes not every Dump work correct with every Hardware Revision... Sometimes little but hard to fix changes.

Only JTAG Dump I know is around 512 MB... but is not from me.
