Smart keyboard pro
Flext9
Basically swipe with better customizations and word correction
Then swiftkey x, since I like the arrow/ cursor option
I like Gingerbread Keyboard
The original and official Galaxy S keyboard that comes on the Galaxy S official stock ROM. None of the custom ROMs or the galaxy S keyboard that people ahve released suposedly being the official one are the same as the true original one.
But since that one is so hard to come by I like Swiftkey X. Got it free from Amazon. My 2nd favorite "aftermarket" keyboard would be Smart Keyboard Pro

Me too, but I noticed that the gingerbread keyboard on the market doesn't recognize the keyboard calibration. You can calibrate all you want and it just ignores it. So I went back to the stock keyboard.

We are. The thread is about the best keyboard. Most people here seem to prefer other keyboards besides stock EVO one so stop trying to bait me when you aren't complaining about anyone else who also prefers something besides the stock EVO keyboard.
SwiftKey x is really growing on me. Love having the arrow keys.

Swype beta 3
I have been using SwiftKey since it was free on the amazon app store recently and its been great I highly recommend it.
I switched from swype beta 3 to SwiftKey x just recently since it was free on amazon and haven't looked back. The word recognition is way better than swype.

Thanks for that and your congratulatory words guys.

swype is sweet but i like the stock keyboard better for some reason, on my android phone i used to have i love using swype but on tablets not so fond lol!
Congrats on the purchase! (or should we call it a gift from Sony? )
The Xperia phones have a Swype-like keyboard, and I can see how that makes sense on a small device, but isn't it cumbersome on a large screen?
I'm using SwiftKeyX on my Tablet S, and it's pretty cool with its split-out design. I'm still getting used to it, but my typing speed isn't bad at all (although I miss the tactile response of the hardware keyboards).
Hi guys

The 5.5" screen is way too big for me. However I like the other changes they made with it (like the faster processor, better battery, etc). The higher PPI doesn't bother me too much, I can't see the pixels in this display anyways.
I heard that its supposed to compete with Note 2 not the S3 because of the 5.5 inch display, But I cant stand a screen that size,If that was the case i wouldve purchased the note 2
Meh I've heard about it but, I'm locked in contract for 2 years and don't want a bigger phone.

A bit irksome that the Pro launches with JB while the regular version is still stuck with ICS. I'd like that proxy security update.
Well, too be fair the LG OG *does* have JB in Korea... Which is where the Pro is launching first too...

Qualcomm doesn't do pure ARM designs. They always customize them. I'm pretty sure it's just a new stepping and clock speed bump.

Eh on this phone, I've noticed no difference whatsoever. On my GS3, there might have been a slight difference, but ICS runs crystal clear on this phone as does JB (at least for me).

I disagree, in terms of visual smoothness, I think the difference is noticeable. Performance wise, I couldn't really tell.

The Pro is a Note 2 competitor, not an s3 competitor. The s4 will likely combine the note and the s series, according to rumor, but the Pro and OG will still be viable. IMHO, anything beyond 5" is too big. And anything below 4.3 is too small.

to me i dont think it would be worth it, altho i do like trying out roms, just turns out most of the time there is always something that is broken.now when keylime comes out I might try it out.
currently im using the note 2. I want to upgrade my contract with rogers! So now im going nuts! Cant decide between the htc one and the s4!
What I mostly do is browsing the web, texting, email, pictures. That's what I mainly do. And yes I watched all unboxing of both! I freaking cant decide. Most important to me is the keyboard while browsing or texting. My bb10 has by far the best keyboard. I do like the note 2 keyboard with the extra row of numbers.
You guys tested them and know more! Please help me deciding! The one should launch here soon in Canada.!! Witch and why? :highfive:

Do you want a device with premium quality that is built solid and has natural colors on the screen (like iPhone colors)? But don't mind the battery not being removable and no sd card? The HTC is for you.
Or do you want a light weight phone with a bigger display that is usually pretty easy to customize with removable battery and sd card slot but have more cartoonish colors on the display?
What won me over to HTC is the screen and build quality but it is different per person... The things you mentioned can be changed with a mod or app from the play store(go pro, chompsms, handsent, swiftkey etc). The only difference would be camera

Are you considering that either phone is going to feel small now that you've been using the note 2? I believe its gonna come down to personal preference . Both phones will do the things that you have mentioned and will do them very well just on a smaller screen.

I played with the phone for 30mins at the store. The keyboard impressed me with how quick it was and the swipe ability was flawless. Camera was very fast at shooting. The pics look real good and it also comes with a bunch of editing effects. Like any other phone it's not gonna take DSLR pictures but is gonna be very decent for FB and such..

Kk thanks. Is it really worth coming from a note 2? Does the keyboard has auto correct? I dont use swipe. Also not into using keyboeard apps.

If you use the Samsung keyboard than your not gonna miss anything. Maybe just the set of numbers at the top. You don't use swipe? Are are you human?

The swype ability is already implemented in the stock keyboard. Its very useful for when your using one hand. And the auto correct woks like any other android keyboard. If it don't satisfy you I recommend perfect keyboard from the play store. It has the best auto correct I have seen on android. And a lot of customization like choosing from 5 different click sounds when typing.

Nice good to know! I will try that. Apparently the one is coming here on the 19th .I called rogers and theu said they dont know..... I hope it will tho cant wait lol.they know when the s4 comes but dont on the one.....

Just use SwiftKey. Easily better than Stock key board. What the two dollars or whatever it is now compared to the phone

So, I had the Note II for a little while, though went back to the S3; the Note's are just too big for me personally. Build quality, HTC One wins hands down. Camera, HTC One wins, I feel like the Samsung camera's over saturate the colors, and the exposure is a little off. Stock keyboard on the one is way better than the Note II. Screen, goes to HTC One hands down. Samsung screens over saturate and don't look like natural colors. Sound, goes to HTC One, both with headphones and the speakers on the phone. I honestly grew to love Sense 5 over Touchwiz. I am sick of Touchwiz. I have been with Samsung since the Galaxy S, I'm sick of plastic, and sick of Touchwiz.
Honestly, if I were you, get the HTC One. You won't miss the Note II, well, except for the screen. But the ppi more than makes up for it.
Thanks men that helps!! Im so jealous u guys have it already. Yes I think im picking up the one. How smooth is it tho? And how is htc with updates?

I played with it in stores, even the bloated AT&T model was extremely smooth. I've never felt a phone faster. My eyes couldn't see any flickers or frames lagging. Though, idk how HTC is with updates. Personally never owned one, only borrowed friends. If its not carrier branded I am sure you'll see good updates come reasonably quick. Though someone with more time with HTC devices may correct me.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
HTC is just as bad as Samsung with updates.. Then the carrier takes their time with the update.
Don't expect updates to come quickly and you will be fine.
I think I might be going back to my G Pro in day to day performance it seems my G Pro does better.
The Screen on my G Pro is a LOT better as well not sure if I can get used to the back button but for some reason my G Pro feels better in the hand and I have small hands.
Anyone else returning the phone?
My G2 replaced my G Pro on Monday, and not a single thing I miss about my G Pro, and I loved that phone. My G2 screen beats the heck outta my g pro! Speed isn't even in the same class at all! Maybe u got a lemon?

I keep looking at the G2 and G Pro...
You just made it that much harder for me to decide... But in 1 hour I have to have my mind made up...

No comparison. Get the G2, way better than the Pro.
Funny we were playing with some G Pro's yesterday at work along side my G2 and getting everyone's opinion between the two.
The G Pro's screen is definitely beautiful, I would say very comparable to the G2. I say they are both on the same level quality wise. I want the G Pro's blueberry background picture btw, it really makes the screen pop. At this PPI density (400 vs 441 I think?) it's hard to tell between the two, they are both exceptionally sharp and bright.
Really like the color notification on the G Pro's home button, very nifty. Love the removable back cover, expandable memory and removable battery.
Speed wise they both feel similar in daily use but I did notice a few places where the G Pro would stutter and lag a bit where the G2 would rip through it. I also noticed a few areas where the G Pro's software seemed more polish, like the lockscreen. On the G2 if you unlock it real fast sometimes the screen swipe effect doesn't render the unlock animation correctly(just shows a black blob), no such problems with the G Pro, I'm sure LG would iron it out in some software updates. Camera wise the G2 definitely took the better pictures. Sound quality wise the G Pro is definitely louder than the G2.
As far as I can tell, the G Pro is definitely an awesome device and I can see if you own one there isn't much of a compelling reason to upgrade to a G2 unless you like a slighter faster experience, better camera, and smaller form factor.

Galaxy Mega Sucks :/ The Screen is terrible such a low resouliton smaller than than the 4.7inch HTC One screen.. And its a low end device seems slow to me with nothing at all installed.
I have both (hi hyelton), and there's a fine line between both of them. Matter of fact, the only determining factor would be the size - either you want a phablet or a 'phone'.
Beyond that, they're nearly alike.
Well I think if it had regular volume and power buttons I think I would take it! I think thats why I dont like it is the way Im having to hold it
why you dhont buy galaxy note 3?
