Couple things on my new s9+.

[durandetto]

First of all, I absolutely love my new phone so far. Couple of observations from my setup and initial usage. First, I'm able to receive verification codes from my bank for Samsung pay which is really convienent. Second, my Samsung convertible wireless charger actually fast charges in the "stand" configuration. Both of which didn't work with my note 8.

Now a question. This might be a noob question, which I do not consider myself to be. Is there a way to change the theme of the stock Samsung keyboard? I remember being able to do that on my past Samsung phones. I really want to give the Samsung keyboard a shot, but I need a dark theme to go with the rest of my phone's theme. My initial impressions with the keyboard this time around seems much better than with the last few and I really like the long press for symbols. Unfortunately Swiftkey and Gboard do not have this option.

On previous models you could go to the galaxy store and get themes for your keyboard...

SwiftKey has the long press for special characters, you just have to turn it on...

But does it actually show the character assigned to each key or do you have to press it to see the character?

Just use google gboard its way better

Nevermind, it all depends on what theme you choose whether or not it shows the special characters.

You can use a custom theme for Swiftkey for your customizations.

I found a dark theme that shows the symbols on the keys. I don't want to have to memorize where all the symbols are.

On custom themes you can decide to show the symbols or not. I like custom themes better because the symbols show up better.
