[Q] Swype vs shapewriter - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone have any feelings on this?
I've tried swype and loved it, is there any benefit of shapewriter?

It's been a while since I've used shapewriter but I remember it being better with it's prediction and usually types the right word more often

i totally agree i have shapewriter and have used it for quite a while i found it to predict better and is smoother and in general if im not mistaken its smaller in size (kb) than swype

If it's legal, can anyone post an apk for shapewriter? I'm a swyper but I'd like to give shapewriter a try. If not, I'll try to find it elsewhere. Tia

Skype On Atrix

Well, as you all probably know, Skype had audio issues on the Atrix. Well, at 4.1.83 everything is now working flawlessly!
It's time to celebrate!!

All is looking good with audio in Skype. Just waiting for the video now.

Crappy search

Anybody else notice how the search in the xda app tends to bring back every result except the one you asked for? Have a for instance, last night I was searching for this thread (I assumed to be old) pertaining to the myTouch 4g and screen contrast issues. So i type in, glacier myTouch screen contrast. It brings back stuff on the evo, flyer, inspiration, the housing market in 03, and something about grape seeds and the allergic reaction they have towards condalisa rice... So maybe the last two were a lie, but you get my point lol there wasn't even any results from the myTouch 4g section lol
sent from my 3devo of DOOOOOOM!!!
Yeah I hate how the xda app searches. I wish you can search a specific forum or thread instead of all the forums, sub forums etc...
I rarely use the search on xda. I get better result using google for xda specific items.
In my experience, all forums have garbage search routines. I never even use them. Use google instead. Put in your search terms and then put site:forum.xda-developers.com.

My thoughts exactly. I paid for it so I could use it. But i love xda lol they've helped me with a great many phones just wish my searches would work, or like darkman said, links to the app sounds nice as well. Isn't their a way to integrate google search into Apps?
sent from my 3devo of DOOOOOOM!!!
One of the biggest problems is that it sorts the results by date....which if you're looking for an older topic/post...good luck finding that....needs to have options to narrow search results.

Help Need Making A very Personal App

Well basically, this girl I like, and me have the same phone, the Atrix 4G. Now I wanted to ask her to a dance, and wanna make an app for that, Something creative and original, like say plays a youtube video of me asking her to the dance, then opens up a prompt which says yes and no, if she selects yes, her phone calls/texts me the answer, what is your opinion on this? Will it work? Too Nerdy? Overkill?
I support this. Even if nerdy, id want to use it for jokes. Hah

i doubt you will find a dev who wants to spend time on this ... for free...
but you might figure out how to do this yourself

Hahaha thanks for all the positive replies, yeah I've never coded before in any kind of form, I'm more of a hardware person, though you see fragmentation won't be a problem here as me and her have the same phone. Any more how to videos would be appreciated, I have a lot of time for this, but just wanted to put the idea out there and get some support, after all I thought android devs would be more helpful considering they develop for open source platforms.

If its a yes, there might be a reaction video depending on whether she agrees!
I hope you don't like this girl because she has the same phone as you. That's really... rhymes with day. But uh, if she says yes, put your app on the market and market it as able to get you dates. Btw, if she says yes and you two hit it off, are you going to make an app asking her can I see what is in your panties?

I came across this thread and I cracked up. It's an "interesting" idea, to put it nicely, and you are being creative. I wish you the best of luck. Just don't wait too long to make your move or someone will beat you to it. (Now I am going to have to subscribe to this thread just to see what the outcome was. )

[Q] picture shows up as video

So I couldn't find a solution to my problem, when I receive a picture it shows as a video. I'm running unnamed. Is there a mod or something to fix this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I have the same problem.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
the only real fix to this is to use a different SMS/MMS app. i prefer GOSMS Pro, over anything else.
its just the way the stock messaging app works, only way around it is through a third party app.
Go SMS Pro is much better then the stock sms/mms app
Holy crap! I just answered this very same question in another thread maybe 5 threads above this. How many times is this going to be asked? I'm too lazy to check which thread was first and I will admit that the XDA search feature is a bit annoying to use, but for FFS! Now I see why the older members are always *****ing.
That said, I will add substance to this post. I just switched to Go SMS Pro this morning and have to second the suggestion for it. It has been working fine for MMS and they come across just as expected.
Thanks for your opinion but its not an answer but just a work around. Thanks

You're right. It's not an answer. If you don't like the stock messaging app, complain to Samsung

cool story bro.
how long before this thread gets shut down now?
Ugh, another one of these threads? Thats what the search button is there for. The stock messaging app from Samsung uses the video viewer to view all multimedia, so that includes pictures. If you want pictures to come up in the gallery, I suggest you replace the Samsung MMS.apk with the AOSP MMS.apk.
Also, calling people a **** for telling you what to do or look for (while it may not be the answer that you were looking for) is not the way to get anything around here... and it will get you an infraction/ban if kept up.

Google Now rarely responds.

I don't know if this is better suited in the Jellybean thread, but I'd hate to see this drowned among the 100's of posts every day in that thread.
I am Swedish, but I've set everything possible to English (US) and to use Google.com instead of Google.se and to always speak back, yet it rarely does. It also completely ignores statements and only googles them. LIke if I say: "I can count to potato", it searches the web for it rather than throwing me a sassy comeback or whatever.
Google now only gives back useful information .. no jokes and useless chats.

Try vlingo or just use s-voice (based on vlingo like siri).
Iris would also be something you could try, it's almost only usable as chat bot.
Google now is to get informations or handle tasks, no chat bot.
