    Help To all bilingual Android typers

    Anyone find a keyboard that DOES NOT mix the predictions between the two languages after heavy use?? I'm a California native now living in sunny Spain so both English and Spanish are a must for me and I have admit that I am a predictive text "power user" so it's really annoying when the...

    Is my screen messed up? I can't tell what's up!!

    I noticed a while back that my white doesn't look very "white" on my S5 but it wasn't till I put it side by side with another phone that it really is noticeable. The rest of the colors seem ok, but when you have a white screen it's more of a cream color IMO. It was a second hand phone as a gift...

    Emoji predictions/suggetions in the prediction bar??

    Got my first Samsung (S5) a few months ago and while I've always used Swiftkey or TouchPal I'm trying to get used to the native Samsung keyboard just to give it a chance. It's not bad, having just one grey theme is a bit boring but I can get by. What I haven't been able to figure out on my own...

    Help Annoying keyboard "problem!"

    It's more of a BIG annoyance than a problem, but here's the dealio. I am a native English speaker living in Spain now so I need to text in both languages. A family memeber who was visiting last month generously left me their "American" Verizon S5 before going back home. The problem with the...

    One Launcher Left Live wallpapers on my phone!!

    Hello gang, today I installed a launcher on my phone called One Launcher from the Play Store, and it worked fine until I noticed that it had changed a few things on my phone. First thing is that every time I went to the Google Store, it redirected me to some random ad app, then it keep trying to...

    Chess on Android??

    I'm a chess enthusiast, and never considered playing online chess on my phone because there are just too many distractions to play a serious game. Last week however, I tried playing some chess on a seven inch tablet at home and I actually really liked it a lot so now I'm looking for some good...

    My phone keeps turning itself on by itself!

    And it's driving me nuts!!! I have a Samsung Galaxy Trend with android 4.0.4 that hasn't given me problems up till now. It all started when I charged it and left it off at night when it was done. When I got up the next day and picked it up it was vibrating. One long "buzz" then it stopped, one...

    To or Too, that is the question, lol

    This only applies to gesture style keyboards, and "swyping," but what is the reason that NO keyboard I have seen so far can tell when to use "to" and "too" correctly? It can't just be because of the grammar rules, because you can easily program those into any app I imagine, like when to...

    Language "leakage" on keyboard?

    Hey gang, here is the dealio, I was born in California but am now living in Spain, so I message on my phone in both languages out of sheer necessity. I am currently using Swift Key on my phone, and have it configured for both languages and switch back and fourth with the space bar, but a lot of...

    Can I hack my android keyboard theme???

    I have a peculiar dilemma in that I got the paid version of Swype for my phone and love the theme I am using there, but for some reason it looks different on my 7" tablet, and actually NONE of the Swype themes really look good on the tablet. Let me just say I'm referring to the color scheme...

    No Look Typing???

    First I admit that I am one of those "obsessive" people that like doing anything they do as well as possible! So I have decided that I want to be a very fast typer on my phone when I am texting. So much in fact, that I paid for an app. that is actually a typing "course," for the phone, and one...

    Can't turn off Push Noticications!

    And it is driving me crazy!! Been working on this for a good two and a half hours now and I can't figure it out. It's probably my fault, as I got a new "mine-tab" today (4.3") and I swear that when I was setting it up it asked if I would allow push notifications and I just clicked "yes" without...
