I came in here recently and was asking about phones and had the Moto X suggested to me. Someone said they had a $100 off coupon... Right now I'm thinking I might not be able to make it to the phone upgrade with Verizon and should maybe go ahead and just get a phone, after almost getting lost while Google Maps kept freezing today. It's been a while since I've been in the thread and I can't remember who had mentioned it before.... I still think I might get the Sony Xperia 3 due to battery life.... but it depends on any kind of sales or coupons anyone might be able to point me towards. Is there anything big going on that would work as a decent discount within the next few weeks? Sorry if the post is lovely, it's been a hectic week with a lot of poo poo, my father's death, all the post death poo poo, and just my loving phone pissing me off to the point of murder. I was hoping to wait til my contract renewal, but I'm getting so pissed at so many things loving up and needing to be replaced right now.

Ragingsheep posted:Ultra powersaver turns your screen to greyscale and limits the apps available. It's for when you just really need to save power but still be in contact. What does regular power save do, just turn off syncing and whatnot? As lovely as most Samsung things are, at least they try things?

So I just found an interesting "feature" of Google Now--if you transcribe a text message with profanity in it while the screen is off, it won't let you send it only using your voice. Steps to replicate: 1. From screen off: "Ok google, send a text message to (x) this is a loving text" 2. Wait for Google Now to ask if you want to send it 3. Confirm that you want to send it 4. Google Now repeats "do you want to send it" again 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you're saying "send it" with the best diction you've ever used in your life 5. Give up, press the blue send envelope button thing 6. Text message miraculously sends I guess it's a pretty good security "feature" (i.e. no accidentally firing off verbally explicit messages while the phone is in your pocket) but as someone who swears an awful loving lot it's probably gonna be a minor annoyance. Also for a very short time I had changed the screen off activation phrase from "OK Google" to "Computer". I realized the flaw in my plan when I said "computer" in a sentence and accidentally activated it, which made me laugh. Google Now interpreted my laugh as "youtube star trek sex". Not kidding.

Google has prudish autocorrect and I've had to add so much profanity manually to the dictionary. It won't fill in gently caress, but it also recognizes it's not misspelled. I know you know about these words google. Stop being loving weird about it.

That explains a lot of the problems I've been having. But I still managed to have sent my wife a thousand "I'm cumming" messages from me to the point where we don't even laugh about it anymore. And no I never wrote or searched for cum on my phone before that!

The main reason I don't use the Google stock keyboard is because of the profanity problems which is also why I don't use dictation since the Swype keyboard doesn't have a button for Google's voice input.

Just bought a LG G2 and rooted it via Stump Root. I also updated it to Lollipop. Since then I apparently lost the root, Stump Root still acts like the device is rooted and have been trying to figure it out. Was using this guide http://highonandroid.com/android-smartphones/how-to-root-lg-g-flex-2-g2-g3-on-lollipop/ And can't seem to get it to work. The download mode gets stuck at 0% and the driver failed to install. The box at the bottom says USER B84. Honestly I'm a bit confused because this is my first Android phone and I just wanted to install a volume boost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

butt dickus posted:Just add your curses to the personal dictionary and they'll work with gesture typing. I thought if you did that it will suggest them but never insert them? Like you swipe "gently caress" cleanly but "Duck" is put in the message and you can use the suggestion bar to switch that to gently caress? I could've sworn we went over this a few months ago and everyone decided there was no way to get it to actually use profanity the first time on a swiped word, that it always had to be manually selected?

Google Now's voice transcription accuracy is based on what Google knows about you. Google knows that you like Star Trek, Sex, and use Youtube.

Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the screen on button, in the middle of the capacitive buttons, on Samsung phones? I have a cheap Galaxy Ace Style work phone and it seems like every time I put it in my pocket the screen comes on. This is especially annoying after having just used it and having it call back or text/email random numbers in my phone.

There's no save button so just hit the arrow in the top left after each word. I can gesture type "ok gently caress my gay rear end you poo poo dong fucker haha" and the only one it will get wrong is "as" instead of "rear end."

But personal dictionaries don't transfer between phones, which means I look like a psycho just typing curses into my phone for a half hour every timer I get a new device or factory reset it (not often, but I have had to do it twice in the past 3 months).

I only have a dozen words in mine so it's never been a big deal to me but maybe you could try this? It's really stupid that Google's cloud-oriented operating system doesn't sync user dictionaries.

"d[-.- posted:b" post="444479975"] This is why I use swiftkey, uploads to the cloud. Keeps things synced between phone and tablet as well.

My diztronic tpu arrived and it's way better than the spigen hybrid. Much thinner. On the other hand, I've got an air dock 2 arriving next week and now I find out this thing won't stick to it? What case do I get now?

Got a new Nexus 6 and did the Tap & Go. For whatever reason, it acted like it was working, but didn't actually transfer anything. I got no error messages or anything like that. Is there some way to start it again? I can't seem to find it. EDIT: Nevermind, just did a factory reset and started all over again. This time it seems to be transferring things.

Seems like there's something about the Walgreens app that causes my Nexus 4 to hang and need to reset every 2 hours. Solved by simply living without that app.

Man, I wish the Verizon store I popped into the other day had had an X in addition to the locked-up one. I've been reading comparisons between it and the Turbo and I'm starting to lean more towards the X, but I would rather not need to get a new car mount. Stupid first-world problems.
