Either replacement or fix. If I get SwiftKey, do I still have to have Google keyboard taking up space?

Ordered a like new S7 edge for $360 shipped. Hoping it arrives in that condition. I like everything I see about the S8+ but couldn't justify the price.

I use SwiftKey and it works pretty good unless I'm misunderstanding what you want.

I downloaded it and suggestions are obviously much better, but keyboard just has alot going on. I liked google keyboard design better(mainly how it had a square around each key) . This will take getting used to. Especially when typing words like sports related names or acronyms and it doesn't pick it up right away. On google keyboard if the suggestion was wrong, you could backspace and it'd go back to the original word you typed but here, doesn't seem to do that unless I'm missing something.

It's been a while since I used SwiftKey but I know there's themes where you can select keyboards with squares around the keys. The settings are also super robust so I'd go through them to see if your backspace preference is available.

I used it for quite a while a few years ago and it got to the point that I didn't have to type at all sometimes because it knew the words I wanted to say and I just had to select them. It learns very well and thoroughly. Stick with it for a month.

With that said, I use Gboard on my Android and my iPhone and have for a long time now.

Are any of you S8 owners using a screen protector or case on your phone? If so, which one?

Also, bummed to see that Samsung removed the colored notifications on the people edge in Android N. Hoping it gets fixed/added soon.

I'm using the clear view flip screen one from Samsung. It's over priced big time, but I can get away without a screen protector on it.

Spigen is solid...I've used their cases for my last 5 or 6 phones and multiple cases for each depending on whether I'm going to work or just out and about.

Anyone thinking about getting the Pixel 2? For sure thought I would sit out this year from a new phone and just keep my Pixel XL but as we get closer to the announcement and the leaks, i am changing my mind. I'm sure I'll cave. Especially if I can sell my Pixel XL. A friend said he would buy it for $350 but who knows if he will once it's time.

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

I just contacted Google about my battery shutdown issue on my 64 GB Nexus 6p. It would get to around 15% and then just shut off. I had Nexus protect, and was looking to get a new phone soon(ish), but Google replaced my Nexus with a brand new 128 GB Pixel XL. Just got it all set up last night and it's soooo nice. Looking forward to using it and not looking for a new phone any longer!

Thinking about trying the pixel 2. Been on iPhone for at least 6-7 years and want to try pure android. I currently have the iPhone 7 Plus and like it, but feel a little bored with it and want to try something different. My biggest concern is missing iMessage. I hope Google can hurry up and bring RCS messages already.

Funny, i'm going to switch to the Iphone X since I been with google since the first droid. I have 4 other apple products and will be getting Beats headphones so its probably time for me to go full board apple and try all the integration.

I had chatted online with a rep, and then they had me progress through the steps. I had an email that I could reply to that explained what to do next. First I tried the restart, then I tried Safe Mode, then a factory reset and contacted them after each step failed along the way. Finally, after 3-4 days, I was sent a link to select the replacement Pixel XL. I just received it last Friday, and got it all set up. I just now have to send my Nexus 6p back this week sometime with the RMA form they sent me.

So, far the XL is working like a champ! I just connected it to my 6p, transferred everything I needed to over, and we're off and running. Google was really good and easy to work with regarding this. Best of luck to you!
