On a side Note (You like what I did there?) I have been a long time Swiftkey user, downloaded Google Keyboard and fell in love lol...Loving this Note 5 even better.

I really like the Samsung keyboard in this version. And, again, with the material theme it looks just like the Google keyboard but with extra functionality, like the number row and handwriting option. Seriously, TouchWiz with material theme is great.

You know its so hard to choose a keyboard because all of them run so well. I always installed swiftkey when I get a new Android device but right when you mentioned the Samsung keyboard, I enabled it again and it felt really good. I'm all torn between what keyboard to use.
 
Idk if its a mind thing but it seems like the typing is more fluent on Google Keyboard. Like I said on the above post, every keyboard on this thing runs good, hard to choose one.
Just gave it a try and I think Ill keep it for a while.

It does seem a bit more fluid. I don't think it scales as well as swiftkey (which allows you to customize its size). But it does seem very accurate. The biggest thing, i don't randomly hit the period. after. every. word. like. this....which I seem to do with swiftkey sometimes.

Yeah I actually like samsung keyboard - and with the material theme (dark or light) I find it offers better functionality whilst being just as accurate as Googles predictive text input.

I posted this in the "design flaw" thread, but that one's a mess, so incase your not following that thread here it is again.

This is a good video that shows what happens when you put the pen in backwards and how to remove it safely without damaging your phone.

I was about to be like "we know, just don't do it"...but you actually posted something useful. A way to fix it if you make a the mistake. Thanks!

I never even messed with switching the themes up. Might try material dark out for a few.

@MRU when do you expect your new toy?

Despatched today. So hopefully Wednesday next, but could be Thursday or Friday. I have no doubt I'll be checking tracking number multiple times just for updates :D

Will post an unboxing as soon as I get it and comparisons with my Gold S6 Edge for colour & size differences. Meant to get good weather next week (he says looking out at pissin rain) so will try and do a camera tests with the usual 'posers' i'm sure getting into shot :)

MRU what is your Youtube channel? I am in the works of starting my own. All my friends have been telling me forever to make a Youtube channel since I always have the latest and greatest with anything that comes out. Def looking into it.

At the moment the one I'm liking to my website isn't accessible (have it unlisted whilst building things) but as soon as it and my website are alive and running i'll share for all :) :)

Sucks about the weather.. Here in S Florida, we're expecting a category 1 hurricane this coming Sunday/Monday. Well, we're "in the cone" as the national hurricane center reports. So basically some severe rain, thunderstorm, along with floods in certain parts of the city.

Same here. It's a great setup!

The Samsung Keyboard is great! I don't know if it's a first on android but i can finally swipe on the keyboard to move the cursor between text. I could only do that on my jailbroken iPhones before.
 
Yup same here...though I'm on the 'other' coast.

track not looking fun for you :( you guys dont need the rain eh?

though it surely will change again, first it looked like a normal recurve back to the atlantic, now keys then tampa in sights :eek: at least they say tropical storm rather than CAT 1 now.

we get cat 1 equivalent storms in the afternoon anyway eh? :p

Good luck man

Yeah, it's still pretty uncertain--all of Florida is right in the middle of 'the cone'. We won't get much more than some rain and a few gusts unless is decides to head into the gulf. Either way, rain forecasts aren't too bad--couple of inches of rain here. Hell, it rained for about 2 weeks straight earlier this month and we saw over 2" from a storm just in one morning.

And yeah, our daily afternoon T-storm can often be worse. :D

Stay safe as well.
