    What keyboard are you using?

    Strangely it's not working for me. I just tried to login to amazon using my S8 chrome browser and it wouldn't do the substitution in either the username or password fields. :( it does work in the Messaging app though.

    What keyboard are you using?

    Yeah I see that now, not exactly what I was looking for. Any ideas of another keyboard that actually types out the replacement text, so it will work in passwords fields on forms?

    What keyboard are you using?

    I've been looking for this feature! so you can program a letter to spit out a programmed word? this is the BlackBerry keyboard? Edit: looks like it's not any different than how the Samsung keyboard has word substitution. Was looking for a keyboard shortcut that does word insertion. My Samsung...

    i-blason hera (full body case with built in screen protector)

    thanks for the feedback. i guess it's safe to assume most case manufacturers aren't offering a built in screen protector due to the difficulty of the curved edge. i placed a preorder for the Hera, but may cancel it and wait until reviews start showing up on amazon or this site.

    i-blason hera (full body case with built in screen protector)

    https://www.i-blason.com/galaxy-s8-plus-hera.html is i-blason the first to come out with a full body case for the s8 that has a built in screen protector? I'm new to phones with curved edges and was wondering if there's any negatives to using such a case. fixed link.

    backspace triggers twice

    I was curious so I just tried it on my phone, and it does exactly the same thing. I've never noticed it before. I suspect it's a "feature" of the Samsung keyboard. my phone is an att s5.
