I just tested this out using Gboard and it doesn't automatically add spacing after punctuation, at least not when typing regularly. If you use glide/swipe that might be the case, or perhaps if predictive words are used, but that's certainly something different and wouldn't (and doesn't seem to) apply to regular typing. Same seems to apply to SwiftKey.

I don't know how it works then but at least on Gboard it behaves differently compared to apple keyboard.I do use Glide Typing if it's available but normal typing too

Well, certainly seems like something is off somewhere. Without simply putting in a space after punctuation it seems that only some keyboards will do it automatically and only if glide/swipe is used or perhaps predictive words are selected, otherwise usual typing applies where spacing is added by the user.

Anyway, I don't want to keep on taking up more of the thread that's not really about this. But after a long time of it keeping on consistently showing up, it's hard to not bring it up.

A phone has ****** battery, a phone still use 720P LCD screen with 4.7 inch and 1K screen with 5.5 inch, a phone that bricks when software updates, a phone that also exploded, the phone has ****** screen body ratio, a phone has ****** price performance... This is iPhone. The most overpriced phone on the earth.
I only use iPhone for apps and iOS integration.If someone offered me an Galaxy S7 Edge with iOS I would dump my iPhone in a heartbeat.Even critics have to admit that Samsung's screens are drop dead gorgeous

Keep saving, you'll love it once you can afford it.

I finally found the keyboard that adds that automatic space. It's the Fleksy keyboard which has that "Smart Space" feature . I use multiple keyboards so it gets confusing sometimes.

That's certainly possible. It basically comes down to typing that space as usual, when needed, when using keyboards that don't support that additional option.

They are sending a box to pick up my wife's Note 7. She isn't very happy about it. We are just going to switch her to an old phone for a while hoping they figure out the problem and offer the Note 7 as a refirb or something? She just doesn't want anything else. No other phone has the features she wants.....

Would she not interested in a Note 5 ? I doubt the Note 7 will ever see release again, even 'if' they can work out what caused the issue.

Sammy truly messed this up.This phone was the definitive phone of the year 2016 and Apple was on the platter ready for the taking....

I understand the nuance smart ass :p (tongue planted firmly in cheek there, to be clear ;)), just saying that in order for it to exist and not explode, I think it would have to have a different design (not quite so compact, smaller battery capacity, who knows--just my own theory that they tried to cram too much in that form factor) and maybe then, it's not quite the smartphone champ. My guess is it would still be at or near the top of the heap but you never know.

Lol my apologies for being a smart ass. No, you are right the design may have changed in order to have made it safe. I still think even if it was a bit thicker, or larger in height/width, or had slightly larger bezels it still would have been the best smartphone of 2016. But once again purely just personal opinion. Just so many other things weighted so heavily in terms of innovation and usefulness it's hard to pick any other phone.

DisplayMate said the iPhone 7 display was the best LCD display they've tested.

The Absolute Color Accuracy of the iPhone 7 is Truly Impressive as shown in these Figures. It has an Absolute Color Accuracy of 1.1 JNCD for the sRGB / Red.709 Color Gamut that is used for most current consumer content, and 1.0 JNCD for the Wider DCI-P3 Color Gamut that is used for 4K UHD TVs and Digital Cinema. It is the most color accurate display that we have ever measured. It is Visually Indistinguishable From Perfect, and is very likely considerably better than any mobile display, monitor, TV or UHD TV that you have.

They do not state its the best display on the planet.Its the most color accurate display.THIS is the best display
The Best Smartphone Display

The Galaxy Note7 provides many major and important state-of-the-art display enhancements, with mobile OLED display technology now advancing faster than ever. The Galaxy Note7 is the most innovative and high performance Smartphone display that we have ever tested. It leapfrogs the displays on the Galaxy Note5 and Galaxy S7 to become the Best Performing Smartphone Display ever.

The Galaxy Note7 delivers uniformly consistent all around Top Tier display performance and receives All Green (Very Good to Excellent) Ratings in all test and measurement categories (except for a single Yellow in Brightness Variation with Average Picture Level that applies to all OLED displays). See the main Display Shoot-Out Comparison Table for all of the measurements and details. So the Galaxy Note7 becomes the Best Performing Smartphone Display that we have ever tested.

This is what they said:

" It is the most color accurate display that we have ever measured. It is Visually Indistinguishable From Perfect, and is very likely considerably better than any mobile display, monitor, TV or UHD TV that you have."

You can take the wording anyway you want. But my interpretation is there are better, but less accurate displays. YMMV as best, better, is subjective. Better but less accurate, not as good but more accurate; etc. :rolleyes:

Color Accuracy does not equal best display.The reason they are color accurate is because Android does not support DCI-P3 standards so Samsung's displays despite being fully compliant cant show their full potential.iOS supports it .The point is that Samsung's displays have the same capability but are bottlenecked by the OS.As a result,Samsung's displays still reign supreme

Read down in the conclusions....

An Outstanding Smartphone Display

The display on the iPhone 7 is a Truly Impressive Top Performing Display and a major upgrade and enhancement to the display on the iPhone 6. It is by far the best performing mobile LCD display that we have ever tested, and it breaks many display performance records.

Kind of sums up what many are already saying.... each type (LCD vs OLED) has their strengths and weaknesses.

Switching to OLED Displays for the Next iPhone

Given the exceptional performance of the iPhone 7 LCD display, there will be many consumers, journalists, reviewers, and even manufacturers wondering if Apple will actually be switching to OLED iPhone displays in 2017, as has been widely reported...


Both LCDs and OLEDs can produce exceptional state-of-the-art displays. But LCD and OLED technologies have different inherent native strengths and weaknesses, so neither display technology wins in all cases – it depends on the details of the specific application.

I think what we have here are 2 very excellent displays where the vast majority of people wouldn't be bothered to pick over silly marginal differences to define 'the best'.

If you really want your crusade to prove Samsung displays are a million times better than anything on the planet, then go ahead. A lot of people don't care either way, especially in threads where it's not even the topic under discussion.

So subjectively Samsung displays are technically better, but in practice they aren't. Got it.:confused:

You are saying that because some keyboards might potentially have some options to put a space after punctuation it's the fault of a keyboard for not putting a space in automatically?

Some optional features might be nice somewhere, but if you are just doing regular typing with a regular keyboard seems like it's up to the user to use the space bar appropriately that's part of normal typing.

Alternatively it seems like there are options to use keyboards that support that kind of thing if that is the desired typing style.

That sounds like blaming the user (you're typing it wrong). Think of the slogan, "it just works" and imagine which situation it applies here.

I think it is better for the keyboard to automatically insert missing spaces for the user (after commas, periods, etc). It just works!

Back on topic, if Samsung doesn't say what the problem is with the Note 7, I'm not going to be buying on day 1 of their future products. Unless there are sweet preorder bonuses hahahaha.

In a sense it is ultimately in the user's hands (literally and figuratively speaking): a space isn't being typed in after punctuation. It's happening mainly because an alternative keyboard offers an optional option to do something like that, which is certainly great. Additional options like gliding/swiping and other add-ons/shortcuts are great to have available. But if that option or that keyboard isn't used that doesn't really mean that typical typing--like basic spacing--is overlooked then.

Not a crusade.I merely posted that Samsung screens are drop dead gorgeous and Ibwas quoted with a post stating iPhone>Galaxy .So who is on a crusade here?
