Yeah I had that same issue as well.

The Note 4 had too many small issues that added up for me sadly.

Is there a way to avoid it saving all the terrible porn sites I visit into it's dictionary? I can in-private browse all I want, but when the first word suggestion that pops up is watchpeopledie.com I'm not hiding my habits properly.

That's a "porn" site? I am assuming that the website means actually die, not Shakespeareian euphemism die...then it would be a porn site lol.

You can tell it not to suggest a word but as soon as you type that word again it goes back into the dictionary and it will suggest it again. If I type "po" into mine it suggests pornhub every time even though I have repeatedly asked it to forget that word.

See this is my problem, all these people judging.

So basically this has been "the keyboard" for 5 years and they still haven't really done any refining of obvious features. It's cool though, cause now I can give them all my information on the cloud, plus look at all these themes I don't want that I can choose from.

They did add swype style typing but other than that yeah, it has not really gotten any better in several years. The themes are useless and stupid.

Personally I miss the full physical keyboard my old T-Mobile G1 had. Wish they'd put out a phone like that again with modern hardware. Something the size of a Galaxy S6 with a slide out screen for keyboard access, but still have the same on screen keyboard support. Would really make typing when the screen is horizontal not as shitty, since the damn text box and keyboard take up the entire screen.

I found partially mistyping helps.

Like Google po rn hub and it will come up. Do it differently every time and the dictionary doesn't put 2 and 2 together. Whereas Google is smart enough to know what you want.

The new blackberry slider - code name venice is to be apparently a Samsung partnership- the screen from the S6 edge - android os with secure BlackBerry layer and slide out touch sensitive keyboard.

Either got confused, or got some bad information on here.

On Project Fi, every person needs their own invite. So while I have an invite, that means the rest of my family can't come on over, just because I have an invite. Would want to switch my whole family over from Verizon, but can't do it right now at least, unless they all had their own invite.

swiftkey is garbage. Swype is so much better imo.
Swype is better but I think it's a bit slower after they started fucking with the voice recognition bullshit. Can you disable that completely so it doesn't load? Even on my G4 it hiccups from time to time with nothing else but say e-mail and swype running.

Honestly, I think the stock google keyboard is the best of the bunch right now. Seems to have the least amount of derp, and does gesture typing better than Swiftkey for me.

I'm still amazed that Swype missed the boat on making a fortune with their keyboard. When they were the only gesture keyboard in town they'd have gotten $1-5 out of a ton of people. Instead it was beta forever and that awkward installer.

Just got the most recent Note Edge for a stupid good price but the battery life is pure dogshit. I tried to see if there were some super secret apps using up juice but I couldn't really find anything. It possible Lollipop just sucks?

I tried it but I don't like that it hot-swaps between normal typing and swype style seemingly randomly based upon when it thinks you are done with a word, or maybe pressure, I'm not sure. I just know it fucks up a lot more.

Didn't they shoot themselves in the foot with exclusivity deals or something?

Work is getting me a new phone. Thoughts on Moto X 2nd gen vs iPhone 5S? I'm leaning towards the Moto as I didn't really care for the 4S.

More and more I find myself using the text-to-speech. It works surprisingly well and even when it doesn't I just send the text message anyways because it is usually hilarious.
