Is it out yet for the nexus? Cause I need it badly, I keep thinking I have it lol
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
It took me a few days to stop trying to swype. I tried SlideIT, ended up liking the stock keyboard more.
To actually answer the question, apparently they have not updated it yet for GNex screen resolution.

Lol thanks. Yeah I keep catching myself "swyping" oh well I'll type like the common folk for a while haha jk

I used to be a swype fanatic... nothing seemed as fun or efficient. i installed and uninstalled SwiftKey about 3 times before just settling on it due to really appreciating its predictive text capabilities and accuracy. also the fact that it learns your style so well. so ya, try it out

The thread title is misleading as others including myself may think it's actually out when it's not.

screen resolution shouldn't be a problem, I'm using swype on my rezound. Maybe an ICS incompatibility???

It's incompatible because swype doesnt see the resolution because of the Softkeys on the bottom (Screen res. is reported a little less then 720p).
As to getting an update on it...Doubtful there will be any before early 2012.
As I understand it Swype got aquired by a different company (Nuance), so they are in the "thinking box" trying to decide which software should be implemented where...

good to know. Sometimes being on the cutting edge is a pain. Lots of games I have don't work on the Rezound or are sized wrong.
OMGi need swype. I'm using slide it and it is horrible compared to swype LOL

I have Swype working on my Galaxy Nexus but it has an annoying bug that causes the suggestion bar to occasionally appear and disappear which shifts the entire page up and down. Doesn't affect functionality but it's annoying as hell.

Swype please
I've been in the swype beta program for Android for about 2 years and still waiting for a bill to buy the product. Maybe through the acquisition by Nuance there could be an investment to make it a product (OEM licence or end-user) and then engage the developers to finish the excellent work started by the first team.
Start with ICS and pick up some of the tablet market too.
YGM!

Hello folks, I'm having a lot of lag while browsing the web. Pinch to zoom is extremely laggy in some webs. For example, when I go to nytimes or theverge.com (desktop version) I can't almost do anything because of the lag. I'm quite curious why nobody has pointed this out. The browser experience was way smoother in my Galaxy S II. Are you experiencing the same issue?

Browser is buttery smooth on all sites I visit. The Verge reviewed the phone using their own site, sure they would have noticed lag... Bottom line is you're doing something wrong unfortunately. Do you have flash enabled?

You're telling me that you can browse theverge.com without lag? Because there are just 2 possibilitues: You didn't try that website or I have a defective unit.
Well I just tested theverge.com. mobile and full site and everything was pretty smooth.: did notice a bit of stutter but I think it due to the Flash on the site. Kinda like phonedog.com. u running fully Stock

No, that's not the case. I have a very decent speed. I am already uploading the video to youtube. Hope to hear your comments and suggestions
Yea, the only time I get lag is if the page is still loading.
Wait for or download 4.0.3 , it fixes the browser lag. Theverge.com is smooth now.
Here is the video:

If you own the gsm version, download the 4.0.3 rom by bigxie, it fixes the browser lag.

At the end of the video when the website is fully loaded is when I get the most lag (minute 00:54 till the end, the web is loaded). Anyway this doesn't happen on the Galaxy S2, that is why I am surprised. So it seems everyone is experiencing lag, but the reviews say it's the best browser ever on android. I can't comprehend that bull****.
P.S. If anyone has doubts and thinks the lag is because of the web that was loading. I can upload tomorrow a video to show them that there is the same lag. Let's try to be objective please.
That isn't really a fair site to test on. It is loaded with images, and other crap that will slow it down. It lags on my droid3 my bionic my thunderbolt and my rezound. The only thing it doesn't lag on is my iPhone which gives processing priority to touch user input. All web page processing/loading stops when you touch the screen.
Did you try to replicate the issue on a more average page?
It is true that my galaxy nexus is the slowest of all my phones but that's because it has old 2007 technology GPU in it but most other sites it handles just fine.

Old tech. Gpu? Its only two years old. If you want to go by the 2007 date every gpu is 2 years old by the time it hits the street.

Didnt see the video but Ics uses a browser similar to honeycomb/iOS. Yes, iOS. In the sense that, for smoother scrolling, it loads in tiles. Where gingerbread and others did more software rendering on the whole thing so it loaded all the content more but scrolling was stuttery and such. Basically its a newer thing google is doing and there are still kinks. like honeycomb, heavy image content it will still kind of hiccup (ics is better than honeycomb in that regard) and you'll see blank white tiles if you scroll too fast

Lol...uhhh no. The galaxy nexus has an older technology gpu if you compair to razr or rezound. While it doesn't mean much in normal situations as it is sufficiently powerful, dogging it out on the verge bloated website and moving all the images around you'll notice a bit more lag.... like it even matters because that fat site is slow on every device.
And whatever you mean by the "every gpu is 2 years old" is beyond me... because it is simply untrue. Please go do research...Im not going to hold your hand on it but ill give you a link to start. http://www.google.com
Btw, 2 years in smartphone market is ancient. Look at the specs today vs 2 years ago... and btw, 2007 was 4 years ago... not 2.

Maybe you shouldn't expect desktop versions of media heavy sites to work flawlessly on your mobile.
Having said that, it works fine for me once the site (the verge desktop version) loads. I get a tiny little bit of stutter when pinch zooming but its barely noticeable.

Getting constant fc's. It seems to affect most videos, not just subscriptions. 80% or more of anything I try to watch just force closes regardless if it's from subscriptions or just opened from the home page of the app.
went through a few people and finally found a friend who works at google. Oddly enough he knew what was going on, and even funnier, he (or his team) might have been the ones who broke it. Well, at least now things might get fixed now.

It makes sense for them to feature those apps right now. Given the proximity to a kid-centric holiday and that their target demographic is Kindle Fire toting soccer moms, they're going to put apps like that front and center right now. Same can be expected for Christmas.

I was trying to be sarcastic. The app is terrible on my devices (Galaxy nexus and nexus 7). I have a hundred or so apps on the 'cloud' from Amazon. Browsing the list and trying to install them is like pulling teeth. It's slow and not responsive. Button presses offer no feedback and seem nonfunctional most of the time. Is it not like that for everyone else?

+1 laggiest apply in a long while.
Amazon free apps have been crappy. I still take a minute out of the day to check it just in case. Every once in a while, something good comes around. Audubon birds was a big score for me a few months ago.
I do wish you could "purchase" without having to download, even though install is optional, still uses space.
It's been laggy for me too, especially when trying to delete apps off the list. Accidentally discovered that feature a couple nights ago.

I have had samsung phones for years and was debating on getting the one. The phone was released 6 months ago and that kind of worries me becuase technology seems to move so fast. So my question to you guys is how do y all like it? I played with my uncles the other day and I loved the build quality and the front speakers. How good is sense?

I've been an HTC guy for years, I've tried a couple of Samsung's (Galaxy S(fascinate), Galaxy Nexus,S4) and I keep coming back to HTC.
Personally, I can't stand anything bigger than the Rezound/Galaxy Nexus. I returned the S4 because I couldn't find a comfortable way to hold it. The DNA wasn't much better (gave to my mother after a week)
The HTC one is a perfect fit size wise, I honestly don't know how anyone can use the note's as a phone... Just too big.
I may be sticking with the HTC one for a Long time, I love the build quality, design and the size (as compared to all the phones on the market now)

I came from the S3 and so far, it's a very nice phone. I really like how it feels in the hand when you are talking and I like how I can swype with one hand. As far as speed, it doesn't really feel faster than my S3, they feel about the same. Sense is fine, I use Nova as my primary launcher. Battery is good, better than the S3. But keep in mind, it's not unlocked right now and we don't know if any devs are working on it.
I have watched a couple of videos and they say the phone doesnt lag at all. Is this true? I had the s4 for a couple weeks. It had some lag here and there. How much screen time do you guys get
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I've had 0 issues with lag on this phone, the speed is pretty staggering.
i've had the phone for a week and have been very impressed with it. Battery gets me through a day. its very fast as well i haven't noticed any lag.
I haven't seen any of these high end phones lag. I'm thinking some people just like drama. Great phone. Use my rule though be happy and make your purchase based on what is on the phone assuming it will never be unlocked. I've been pretty happy using the logic. I'm unlocked myself, but also happy running rooted stock sometimes.
Long time HTC user up until recently had the sg3/sg4/
This phone is great, I highly suggest it.
The build quality i superior to Samsung, and IMO we have a much better chance of unlock root for this phone than on the s4.
I have a good feeling I'll be selling my s4 in the near future.

actually, all reviewers for the s4 say that TW lags on it. Haven't seen any on my Note 2, but I don't even have TW installed. Probably just needs better optimization.

Re read my post. I've used an s4 its pretty much just as good. People are biased from time to time. Also as my other post said lag is more perception at this point. These super phones do amazing things. Sometimes I think my keyboard "lags" on the one badly for instance. I also realize the other factors at play. Heck people here in this forum complain about sense 5 being laggy. My point is that lag is half perception.

I'm in the same boat. I currently have a note 2 and thinking of either the HTC one or moto x. I love the build quality of the One but love that the moto x is pretty much stock android. If this phone had an unlock/root method, it would be a no brainer. I just hope something comes soon for it and then I could load a Google experience ROM or something
Decisions, decisions...
I would honestly just be happy with root. That way I can use titanium backup and some of the other root apps I use
