Hello all. I use Swype as my only keyboard. Used it on all my phones. Swype hates me. But I love the easiness of it. So I've had my note a couple days now, and keep noticing that while Swyping, it's like it his a dead spot, and starts a word, or just inputs complete randomness. Are any of you experiencing this as well?
Same here I quit using it and went back to using the android keyboard. Not sure what is wrong.

I have the same issue but only when I use my finger not the s pen. Happened on two separate phones. From stock and after rooting and OC'd. I think it's possibly a software thing. I'm going to try to remove stock Swype and install beta

Get the free ics keyboard from the market. Its vastly superior to any of the included keyboards on this phone.
If you decide to try it out remember you have to enable it in the settings menu before it will show up in the input options.

I've noticed an issue with Swype only on Gingerbread. When I updated my Infuse, Swype started acting up. Same issues I occasionally have now. I have to almost long press and slowly draw the word out for it to be accurate.

I just want to chime in and say that I'm experiencing exactly the same thing.
Swype used to be my favorite keyboard, but I had to give it up because of the "Dead spots".
I removed the built in swype, hoping the beta would work better, but as previously mentioned in the thread, it fc's before you can get even close to using it.
Everything works for me, I can Swype fast and everything is picked up. The only time I notice anything peculiar is when I'm using one hand and some other part off my hand touches the screen besides the finger I'm using to Swype.

Guys Swype Beta sucks. Try TouchPal, its free and my favorite of all paid & free keyboards.

Glad to know I'm not the only one having problems. but sucks that I have to pull the pen out just to Swype anything
Well on the way to my fairytale!
I've noticed this problem as well, and it didn't happen on my international Note. I don't think it's dead spots on the keyboard, but rather no tolerance whatsoever for going off the side of the keyboard. Going past the left or right side a tiny bit immediately ends the current stroke and starts a new one even though you're in the middle of a word. Swype on the international one didn't do this; it allowed you to do off the edge a little without ending the word.
---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 AM ----------
Speaking of Swype issues, am I the only one with a major Swype bug in the email app? Editing already typed text doesn't work right. When you tap a word alternate words pop up and selecting one works, but if the one you want isn't there, you're supposed to hit the Swype key to highlight the word then swype again and it'll change, but the word won't highlight, and the new word will be inserted in the middle of the old word, wherever the cursor is. Then if you touch elsewhere, the new word will be inserted again wherever you touch.
This error is on the international version, as well, and I'm surprised they haven't fixed it. It makes using the OEM email app a pain.

Hey Ash, yeah, same problem here. Not so much deadspots as much as the slightest lifting of the finger off the keyboard has it consider it the end of the word (or whatever garbage it comes up with) The "accuracy" is awful in terms of the words it comes up with as well. I've tried every speed/accuracy setting I could and it still comes up with the most ridiculous suggestions at times.

You know Joe, I had just started wondering if it was a pressure issue.... Like when I turn my finger to change direction, pressure difference... And with the pen, because I'm holding it there wouldn't be that change. Either way, it's crap. Lol.
I restored my data from Swype, sooooo all my settings are the same. Hadn't thought about messing with them, but I may try that.. Just wish it worked better... And only gave me my usual autocorrect errors I an prepared to deal with those
Well on the way to my fairytale!
Not just Swype. I can't use any keyboard without issues. Ever try a long-press to get the @ symbol or hit the space bar on the fly? And turning off autocorrect... I still haven't got that to work through a reboot.
Time to freeze this one and grab the beta!

Just as a heads up....best keyboard ever for me is Thumbs....bigger the display the better it is.....I even use it on my SII now....love the hell out of it....if your a iPhone texter(portrait) you may not care for it....but if you do most or all your texting/emails in landscape....it is sick and very themeable./customizable.

Swype is also very themeable... And I always text in portrait... I use Swype because its easier and faster. But have tried thumb, was a big fan of it for a while
Well on the way to my fairytale!
to install the swype beta you need another phone and its a kinda long process i'll just hit quickly..
download the swype installer on the other phone (A NON-Note) start the installer once its downloaded the package use adb to pull the package it downloaded to the phone then push it to the note and install it. Old trick to get swype on the HTC inspire when it was new.

Did a complete rebuild from stock today to solve an sms issue I was having. Meanwhile, skipped the lag-fix, and found the OC kernel.
Went yank happy just for kicks and giggles, and surprisingly, having absolutely no issues. at all. whatsoever. I don't use any of the syncing except the Google contact sync. I also use ADW in the /system/app folder as a TouchWiz replacement.
Please don't pull anything from your device if you don't know what it does, and if you do, don't blame me. My phone never works like everyone else's.

Thanks for the list. Freezing them with Titanium Backup works quite well, too.
FINALLY! A list that isn't strewn about 100 pages of people posting nonsense. You're the man! I've been waiting for a decent list where I didn't have to spend all day reading and taking notes like I was in school again...
Also where might one have found said OC kernel? I'm rooting today, installing CWM, removing bloat, and hopefully OCING!

Freezing them? I donated to Titanium so I have access to everything, but I'm not 100% sure of everything I can do. I just know it came in super handy with my Droid flashing antics
Thanks Daswolven! I'll head over there as soon as I get done with the nitty gritty. Although should I maybe swap my Fascinate out for a replacement first due to the fact I have a few issues one of them being occasionally the unlock button doesn't work and after pressing it the screen goes blank then turns straight back on and stays on? It doesn't happen all of the time so is this a trivial issue?

There's a freeze feature in TiB. If you tap an app on the backup/restore list, you can see that there is a freeze option. This is available to donaters.

So I've heard good things about this app but I'm looking for personal experience and/or insight on its compatibility with our Amaze
On two separate occasions now with the Amaze - I've gone and purchased an app that has near flawless reviews on the marketplace. Even tried (lite/free) versions before purchasing pro versions and loved them - but then IT happens...
I purchase and go to use the "pro" features and they end up not being fully compatible with the Amaze (see Rom Toolbox Pro for example)
Not complaining. Just want to know that this app is ALL GOOD before dropping a couple more bucks on an app that may not work properly/entirely
Thanks!

love it....although there is sometimes a lag between hitting the power button to wake the phone and Widgetlocker lockscreen showing up...love the ICS lockscreen options.
I bit the bullet and paid for it. I'm happy with it. The only two problems I've encountered are:
1. The unlock sound doesn't always go off.
2. Sometimes when I reboot the phone it doesn't start up.
Neither one is a big issue.

But I can't confirm and don't want to... I love my Launcher Pro Plus so I'll just deal with swiping to see who is calling. Oddly its a glitch I like - more privacy - I tend to name people funny things in my contact list that I don't always want people to see

It's what I"m using now and it does work. I'm just not a huge fan of the GO suite. I have GO Contacts and GO dialer to get rid of the sense leftovers but it's a far cry from stock, which I really want.
I'll just have to be patient I guess. Thanks again
I like it but it hangs sometimes.
What I find annoying is this sequence.
1. Unlock screen jump to handcent.
2. After typing message I press Back key.
3. Instead of going HOME it jumps back into the lockscreen as if it was the last used app.
Its weird and should be a minor annoyance..but its kept me on stock lock screen.

Chill out man It was built for ICS. Would you say a modern PC sucks just because it has windows 98 on it? I'm sure the prime will be just fine. Hopefully there will be custom roms later that make things even better.
It will never be an ipad though. Android was built to do everything at once and as fast as possible. Not like the ipad that stops everything its doing to provide smooth scrolling. If scrolling is the most important thing to have in a tablet go for the ipad!
This is the first time i'm getting a device on release and i really dont get most of the people here^^ It seems like you're all trying sooo hard to find something bad about this device.

I just got mine from Gamestop today, one of only two at that location. My wifi works fine, the gps works fine, the Bluetooth controller in the bundle works better than I anticipated, and my screen does not bleed. This thing is really nice and I too am looking forward to ics.
Sorry to report that i have no problems - including no light bleed. The WiFi signal is as strong as my samsung epic 4g. Haven't tried GPS yet. Right now, I'm testing tethering via my rooted Epic. Perfectably usable.

No G-Tab has ever been reported to have have screen bleeding. LCD bleed? No. Moisture under the screen? Yes.
Samsung builds their own panels and they perform exceptionally well. That's why, before the war, they were Apple's primary display provider. Sharp does OK, AIO is hit and miss, and LG's a disaster. It would be intersting to see who makes the panel in the Prime and if it comes from a single supplier. HTC uses both Sharp and AIO in the same device. Do Asus tablets have a diagnostic mode? If so it would probably be in there.

Ive had my s3 for 2 weeks now and I look at my s2 and think what a waste.
Don't get me wrong the phone is amazing and is top spec at the moment but im now having doubts that it is a massive difference than my s2.
Now I don't need you to reply with all what its got cos I know all about it.. But I think that there just isn't enough change in the software to make it exciting?
Ie the video that you can have open while your texting? Have you used it? Yes the full screen is ok for watching a movie on the train ect but do you really need to multi task that badly?
Before you start to get all defensive I love Samsung Ive had all 3 now but I really think I can live without the small plus points of the s3?! Notification light is ace and the battery life but other than that? Can't say im to fussed.
Because we are lucky enough to be able to change the look of the phone being android it looks the same as the s2 and no doubt I can make the s2 look like the s3. When I get a new phone I want it to stand out from the older models and be new and have visual differences.
So im thinking of selling up and going back to my s2 until something comes out that will make me happy.
What do you think?

Do what makes you happy man. I was considering getting an s3 but right now I'm having fun giving my s2 the s3's features. I have s voice working flawlessly. Will I eventually get an s3? Maybe. But right now I'm not pressed.

Dude, don't change phone within 3years because you will never find any big difference. All the phones in this world only have small incremental upgrade every 5-6 months. People change phone every year simply because they are spoiled enough to spend recklessly or they are just too rich and boring or they just want to prove they are tech geek.

Spare a thought for the iPhone users. They've had the same software UI since the first release.
I actually half agree with you... In my opinion I prefer the size of the S2 compared to the S3 (just a matter of getting used to i guess). In terms of normal daily usage, there isnt too much of a difference in terms of speed (however the S2 obviously has had a lot more time for development etc) and this will probably change in the coming months as developers work their magic for the S3. The battery and LED light are great additions as mentioned though so far it hasn't seemed to be major upgrade (not that I really expected it to be). While im not going to ditch my S3 (love having the latest and greatest) I do understand those that have 'upgraded' from a S2 and would prefer that few hundred dollars instead.
Also the audio quality was rather mediocre on the S2 unlike the S3 - another reason ill be keeping the S3.

It depends. I've come from an S2 and I do like the touchwiz UI. One of the reasons I haven't switched over to AOKP is because it's the same look along all platforms and then it just feels like I'm still using the S2. Do what you feel like but i suggest you hold on to the S3 simply because it's the newer one.

Although the GS3's by far the best smartphone i've ever used, yes, i'm thinking about ditching it and getting the Note back - mainly because of the poor standby battery it gets with my network.
And yes, i've tried all roms and modems, kernels, hacks and rests - and 2 different GS3's - but it just does NOT play well with my network. Screen time remains good when used at a stretch.
it's vital i stay connected to my work email at all times on data. Too many fast dormancy related wakelocks + moderate use = Dead battery at the end of the workday - compared to around 40 to 50% battery left with identical usage on the same SIM with the Note.
Going to wait another month or so for possible modems with better compatibility but it doesn't look good and i hate reverting to my painful-to-use 4S to get me through the day.
PS: just reiterate, i am not making a generalization about the GS3's better, just relating what i experience with my network.
Yeah. it's awfully buggy, and I can't do things I took for granted anymore... mainly the phone is so poor at meaningful multitasking that music whist browsing causes horrendously regular cut outs. I think s2 is a better phone - I'd go back if it wasn't for being embarrassed at accepting that I chose a duff new phone (plus my missus has the s2)

Nope, had hardly any problems with mine and I love the features like s voice, smart stay. They're great.
Plus the phone is so powerful it'll run all the latest stuff.

Im begining to think getting my S3 was abit of an impulse buy,id only just got a HTC sensation XE which imo is a very good phone,and tbh im thinking that i didnt need a S3
some of the things on this samsung drive me crazy,the screen tint,no mass storage mode,trying to drag photos or videos off the phone is a mare because of the lack of thumbnails,i really hate that !
There doesnt seem much i can do on the S3 that i couldnt do on the XE,the only added feature of the s3 ive really made use of is the taking photo shots while recording video,im going to keep the S3 but getting abit of buyers remorse now lol
Upgrading every fow months or even once a year is a mugs game, only the phone manufacturer wins, coming from the Desire HD its well worth upgrading but if I had the S2 I dont know, its far from obsolete, dont think id be disappointed though
Well im glad im not the only one. Oh and the zero shutter lag is great but I can live without it

All do the same. I guess spotify may be different as it's streaming rather than playing an mp3?

Maybe I'll give it a go - though I'd rather use a browser that handles flash. Annoying that pure stock just doesn't work though..
Cheers for replying by the way - my posts have mostly been a bit grumpy on here of late!

It's understandable being grumpy when you have a problem with such a premium device
I use Chrome and Spotify and they don't crash at all. I tend to use mobile versions of sites but do occasionally use full ones.
This is on wifi, not sure if it makes a difference over the network. I'll have to try it.

What are your opinion and thoughts on this phone?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I'm loving it!! Very fast, the speakers are great. A few things I'd like improvement on would be the rss feed choices for the home screen and I'm not fanatic about Beats Audio through headphones. Although I may throw a custom Rom on it hehe. The feel is perfect, not to heavy and not too light unlike the galaxy 3 which feels cheap.
Already extremely please with this phone and TMobiles service.
I have it since monday it's great! I'm coming from the HTC mytouch so it's really an incredible difference . The camera it's great as well and battery is lasting a lot

anybody else got the HTC ONE ?
its a huge adjustment coming from a pure google nexus 4. here are just some minor random notes:
- the build quality is great, but the phone feels rough on the sides like they havent been sanded down. ditto for the earplug hole. NOT A BIG DEAL.
- either i got a phone with zero gap or people are seeing things on their phones. again NOT A BIG DEAL.
- phone is loud for a phone, not for radio. compared to other phones, its awesome.
- beats audio doesnt come through on the speakers. you get no bass from the speakers. performs elegantly with earphones plugged in.
- the car dock is amaaaazing. must-have.
- the car mode is really well done. you can choose to listen to local radio stations through wireless with tunein. you can also add other apps to car mode home. navigation gives you google maps, appointments, gas station, restaurants, by photo, parking (parking structures), cafes, bars, atm, convenience store, pharmacy shopping and emergency.
- htc should have made the logo a real button. yes, its capacitive and we will be able to use it as a real button, but it doesnt light up like the back and home buttons and generaly looks out of place.
- facebook/twitter/messaging integration on sense is really well done. better then most alternatives ive seen.
- wish you could scroll diagonally on the apps drawer.
- wish you could turn off the feed.
- wish you could use your own icons on sense home.
- thought the notification light was going to be bigger. they used a hole on the grill to insert the light. but at least they included it.
- tmobile bloatware... ugh.
- everything is superfast and super responsive. havent seen a touch of lag yet.
- screen is amazeballs. dont know if its placebo effect, but it seemed to have looked better after 3-4 hours of usage. dunno if thats the screen warming up or my eyes getting used to it.
- really gritting my teeth at this s-on s-off thing, never had to deal with it before with samsung and nexus phones. but i knew what i was getting into.
- camera is VERY nice. havent had enough time to play around with it but it seems to snap photos very quickly and clearly.
- already feeling the effects of having run 4.1.2. coincidentally the first two apps i tried to install on the phone, creditkarma and dashclock dont work on 4.2.1, just 4.2.
- more apps then i care to number still have the menu button at the bottom, including facebook. little silly that you can run facebook home on the phone but the option bar takes up 1/5th of the screen.
- i sorely miss the aosp notification bar, although sense's isnt bad.
- phone gets pretty toasty after moderate usage.
- i can hold the phone comfortably but i have huge hands. still have to hold the pinkie at the bottom of the phone to keep it up.
I just wanted to upload 3 images comparing the Nexus 4 camera with and without flash to the HTC One without flash.
I am impressed with the camera so far! They were taken without trying to make them look nice just to see what it would be like in a moments notice to take an image.
Just got back from the shop with mine. First impressions:
-Thoroughly gorgeous, and feels perfect in hand. Nice weight - lighter than I was expecting but still totally solid.
-Screen is amazing. Razor sharp, bright, with great viewing angles and none of that AMOLED-turns-blue-if-you-tilt-the-phone nonsense.
-No gaps. (Serial FA34CW if anyone's interested).
-Power button is a little tricky to reach for me one-handed. I can just two-hand it though, not a big deal. Don't have any issues with the two-button arrangement.
-Haven't had a chance to try out music on it yet, but I got a call and I flinched, it was so loud. Vibration also seems very strong.
-Blinkfeed is nice to have, but I could see it being overwhelming if that was my only homescreen. I pushed it off to the side so I can look at it if I'm bored. Otherwise, I really like Sense 5 - nice clean design, all the stock apps have the Holo-style "view pager", and in general it just works great.
-Performance is excellent - this thing really flies.
-Typical T-Mobile bloatware. Disabled almost immediately.
-Haven't had a chance to use the camera yet. Still have to do some experimenting (and don't really want to take pictures of the random crap on my desk).
Overall I'm highly impressed. I think that, if HTC fails (knock on wood/fingers crossed that doesn't happen), it will not have been for a lack of trying, at least on the product side. They have the superior product - now they need to get the word out.

Settings>Apps, then swipe sideways to "All", then scroll through the list. When you find something you don't want, tap it and then tap "Disable". Tap "OK" when the "app may misbehave" pops up, and then repeat as desired. A couple of them (SoundHound and TunedIn Radio) can be fully uninstalled, but most can't unfortunately. Oh well, such is life with a operator-branded device. Kind of a pain but AFAIK this is the only way to sort-of get rid of them without root.
Roo is already available just unlock you bootloader and install twrp or cwm and then you can install supersu. That's what I did, then installed ti backup and uninstalling those first haha

Best phone ever.

Great phone, the tmobile version is the one to get: using an AT&T unlocked 64GB with T-Mobile gets me edge in supposedly "refarmed" areas more often than not, while the T-Mobile version always shows HSPA+.
Best phone i've had.
One thing that I hate though, why why why why why must I have Facebook crap in my gallery after loggining in!
went straight to unlock bootloader > flashed custom recovery > flashed ARHD 7.0 > now sitting on charge. love how it feel in hands
Is their a way to root with a mac?
Got mine today. Love it so far. Moved from a Galaxy S4G. Love the build and the feel. Looking forward to some roms and devs for this phone.

So flashing the ROM's available for the other versions works? I suppose since the hardware is essentially the same, it wouldn't matter as long as the radio is kept, right?

As for changing the Sense Icon's you can, I have done it, you just need to root the device and do a lot of work.

You can only flash roms that are designated for the HTC One M7 device. However, there are some issues with the signal properly reporting and other issues.

Thanks. Haven't had a chance to dig around the forums yet now that we finally have our own section, so I wasn't sure.
I'm kinda surprised that the M7 ROM's are fine but not the AT&T ones. I'm coming from the S2, where we used AT&T ROM's frequently (with a proper kernel of course).
