    How to make use of SwiftKey effectively?

    Totally agree with Rukbat, it's my "go to" Keyboard for sure, and nothing beats it's prediction!

    Is Swiftkey getting buggier?

    Wow, "not giving good predictions" really? I have Swiftkey, Swype, and TouchPal, which I'd say are the big 3 for prediction for sure, and NOTHING I have used comes even close to Swiftkey for prediction! I even joke with people that it's the best keyboard for NOT having to type because after you...

    Charging, lesser of two evils?

    Just to further your argument that ANYTHING could be in there Diddy, lol, I have been unable to get a full charge on this thing no matter what. Neither on or off, neither with the wall charger nor plugged into the PC. However, last night I just happened to use an external battery pack while I...

    Charging, lesser of two evils?

    Thanks for getting back to me Diddy, you made a great point about cutting corners!! It's supposed to be a 2200mAH Lithium Polymer Battery, which is they say is better than a normal Lithium battery, but who knows what is really in this thing!! Could have a NiMH battery in there for sure. Even if...

    Charging, lesser of two evils?

    I got a bargain basement Chinese fablet a while back and the battery has given me nothing but trouble since I got it. Way too many issues to even list here, and I can't take it back now, so I'll cut to the chase. No matter how long I leave it charging or how many different chargers and cables I...

    How to keep CPU from "sleeping" when screen is turned off

    Long story short, my phone's touch screen doesn't respond when I turn turn it on to access the unlock screen. It's just "dead" as it were and I have to turn the screen on and off up to twenty times before it will start working again. Once I get it unlocked, the phone works fine until I turn the...

    Unresponsive touchscreen?

    Tried on factory reset and the phone didn't get any better at all. Just got up and turned it on before work and it is working fine at the moment. It normally takes a while for it to start acting up. Maybe it's a app that I have installed that causes it to run laggy and that could be causing the...

    Unresponsive touchscreen?

    Worked fine for four months, just started doing this the last few weeks. I thought it could be software too, but who wants to take a chance rooting one of these Chinese clones??????

    Unresponsive touchscreen?

    Got a ton of them and that would certainly be an option before sending it back to China, but I'd like to give it "the good old college try" before just taking it in and having it fixed!!

    Unresponsive touchscreen?

    Hey gang, back in August I bought a Chinese S5 clone called Kingelon G9000 i9600 S5 Android Smart Phone (5.2'' FHD Screen MTK6592 Octa Core 2GB RAM 16GB ROM Dual Camera 13MP) that up till now hasn't given my any problems at all. However, the last few weeks the touch screen has stared to give me...

    Anything is better than nothing, with the light on there is at least some hope. Do what Nerf72 said and cross your fingers!

    Most ACCURATE gesture typing keyboard????

    I would have to agree with you, Swype is pretty darn accurate, but Google does do a pretty decent job itself for sure. It's turning out to be harder than I thought to find a clear winner among the top 3 or 4 keyboards as far as accuracy goes!

    HELP!!..i cant turn on my phone...why???

    Have the same problem with a Samsung Galaxy Trend. I tried everything and couldn't fix it so I took it in to be repaired. If you can get it to stay on long enough to install android again with Sumsung Kies via the PC it might be a possibilty for you.

    Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 - won't charge, how to determinte problem?

    Really feel for you on this, I've been living abroad for 20 years and I know what you mean. It may not be the perfect solution, but maybe one of those external battery packs would solve your problems. Even if your own battery is totally totally dead, it should be able to power the tab on it's own.

    Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 - won't charge, how to determinte problem?

    I've heard about that being possible on several other forums, hope it's not your case. Have you tried plugging it into a pc to see if you can "kick start" it that way?
