Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Using it to type this now. I is going to take some getting used to coming from Swype, I will keep wanting to lift my finger for the spaces. Doing so, however, does make it more accurate :-)
 
Is it that honestly that good? I am currently using the stock 4.2 keyboard and its fine for me. I never got used to swiping, but I guess I can give it a shot.

Oh well - here goes nothing.

Happy Thursday everyone - almost Friday, woohoo!
 
I'm in Precise mode, but I'm a perfectionist...

Stigy, if Flow isn't your cup of tea, I would highly recommend trying out SwiftKey 3. I can't believe how accurate it is about predicting what I'm about to type. It has literally changed the way I type on my phone... I installed it on the Darling Bride's phone and she's no longer intimidated by texting! :eek: :D
 
Okay so I installed the Flow Beta from their website but how do you enable the "Flow Through Space" portion where I don't have to lift my finger to type a sentence.

Am I missing something?
 
Wow, my windshield split the other day and I finally got around to calling the insurance company today as I figured I was in for a PITA. They had the glass company call me and they are going to replace it in the parking lot TODAY.:eek:

I guess it doesn't pay to automatically assume something is going to be a pain.
 
Oh oh oh double post - you have to swipe over the space bar for it to work.

Does anyone have any security concerns about letting it "learn from" social networks?

This is interesting - maybe if I don't like this I will go to Swiftkey 3 though.

This happened to me last year. I had a crack in my windshield and I called GEICO about it and Safelite came to my job, replaced it in the parking lot and I didn't even have time to see the guy because that's how quickly it got done.

They are incredibly fast and efficient AND I got OEM glass at no cost to me.
 
Reminds me of a time my wife somehow got paint on her car. (no idea how, must have been while it was at work)
Well she was driving around town one day and a guy pulled up next to her at a traffic light and said he could remove it. Sketch city, I know. ;)
Anyway, he ended up doing it while she was parked at an event. Did a great job for a pretty fair price. Actually repaired a dent too. :)

SwiftKey 3 learns the same way, Stigy. Not so much the CONTENT of your typing as much as the word use. That way it can better predict what you're about to type and hand it to you to select without even starting the word. I have no problem with it myself...

So your saying if I use it enough I won't have to post anymore, it will do it for me.:D
 
Do you have to train it, or just it just learn what you are about to type?

My current stocker stinks. You can spell out Colorad and it doesn't have the brains to predict the o at the end
 
It learns really fast, but even stock its prediction is quite good. My favorite is certain phrases I use a lot, I just keep hitting the next word and it types it all out for me. :D
 
Anyone here use the Tecarta Bible apps? Fresh update in the Market. Complete redesign of the interface and it looks 100% better!
 
Arrggghhh

Finally found the switch to turn on Google location based services. Been looking all over and every setting seemed to be "on" but maps, etc, wouldn't work, or tell me where I was.

Downloaded update for Google Search, and it prompted me to turn on Google Apps location settings.

I don't know where they put it in the general menu, but I never could find it. It seems to apply to Google only but I use that Maps a ton, and need it to find me rather than aimlessly wander around.

Clicked yes, and closed out, checked maps,and it found me instantly. This is how it used to be.
