Tapatalk 4 beta is out ... - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Tapatalk 4 beta version is out and so far I like it especially for being beta still! It's much more refined and it can do more than before. Enjoy...

Yeah I was just about to start a thread on this. It is petty nice. They skipped Tapatalk 3 because this their 4year anniversary.

It looks real nice but I can't seem to find myself to our sgs3 forum.

None of my login info was remembered when going from v2 to v4. Thought that was the purpose of having a Tapatalk login. Subs didn't show up, had to find forums, unsub, then resub for them to show up.
Read markers still not functioning properly (read: at all).
UI looks nice. Lots of change. Seems a little clusmy, though.

It does still need work, but it is in beta.
Did it replace your older version of tapatalk? If not thats why it didn't haave you're subs.
Maybe you could try copying one of the data files from the old to the new version. I think the subscribed topics is stored in the .db file. If the database structure isnt too different it should work. Otherwise it may freeze and/or crash.
Anyway, im sure once its out of beta there will be a way to import your subscriptions or itll more likely just update like normal apps at that point.

Right now, it's a separate download in the playstore as Tapatalk 4. Was unaware subs were stored in a db file locally (doesn't make much sense) - although, it seemed to remember my subs, but wouldn't display them until I un/resubbed to them.

First time user not a bad app so far.

It's a nice update to Tapatalk 2...definitely feels smoother and looks better too.

SwiftKey 4 is now out in the Play Store

And it is awesome. Just thought I would report this. This is my new favorite keyboard. Here is the Link. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS50b3VjaHR5cGUuc3dpZnRrZXkiXQ..

edit2: lol I had swiftkey 3 which is now swiftkey 4 and includes flow, I feel like a dummy for not knowing that, I had the flow beta and liked it
I wonder if there is any difference in swiftkey flow beta or swiftkey 4? I'm currently using the beta
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
^^ive only used it briefly, but it appears a bit more refined and polished than the beta
Anyone know what the differences btwn Swiftkey4.0 @$1.99 and Swiftkey4.0 free?
the free version is a trial only, should state that in the app description.......
I can see a big difference personally between the official and the beta. The beta was driving me crazy for awhile, the official makes my life way easier.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
It's definitely smoother, not that it wasn't already great though. One thing I've noticed is the predictions are quicker and more thorough in what they suggest. This has been my favorite keyboard for 2 years now.
I checked in the playstore could not find it link ?

Does anyone know if there is a way to import your stats and commonly used words from the Flow beta to SwiftKey 4?
I switched the flow on then immediately turned it off Bcuz I'm so used to swiping left to delete words. It's funny Bcuz I'd be swiping without looking, thinking I'm deleting things until I look down and find a bunch of words.. Lol

It isn't called SwiftKey 4 in the Play Store for people who are looking for it. Just search SwiftKey and you'll find it.
It's SwiftKey version 4.0

Should automatically transfer as long as you didn't delete the beta before installing the regular SwiftKey. SwiftKey stores all of your data on your SD card (external I think) so you can easily transfer your data.

I really like it and it's a nice keyboard, but I've grown so accustomed to the Android 4.2 keyboard for now. Until I get sick of it (I usually do get sick of things rather quick and need a change), I'll give this one another try.

How do you navigate with this?
All you do is type in your destination, select the car at the bottom right then choose which route you want to take. The navigate button should also pop up at the bottom right

I think this is something of what we gonna see in next android os
My S4 is on steroids!!!
Thanks, some good improvements, but with no simple way to cache maps and no way at all (that I can find) to add the Zoom Buttons, I've reverted back to the previous version. Hopefully these issues will be addressed.
Im pretty sure this is common knowledge at this point... but disable location aware and location history in google location settings and get much much better battery life.
This new update is junk
They removed my places, which gives a lot of useful info. Some stuff is still in app, but only some, and it's spread all over.
Removed offline maps feature. If course you can still somewhat save what you see on screen, but come on guys, the real feature us gone. Once you save you screen maps for offline use, there's no way to pick and choose to delete them later.
Plus removed a lot of other useful things.
Navigation has been changed, and not for the better. It's not separate app, but it's within maps now.
Some part are indeed better and more fluid,
BUT OVERALL, IT'S LIKE TAKING ONE STEP FORWARD, WHILE TAKING THREE STEPS BACK IN GOOGLE MAPS DEVELOPMENT !!!

You are complaining about a beta.. something that everyone knows is clearly not perfect. So by writing in all caps that this release was three steps backwards, was nothing but pointless. Im just trying to let you know that this isnt how its gonna be forever. In my eyes, this was a great step forward and a very promising lead in the right direction.

No, that's not entirely true
I was not complaining, but constitutional the facts.
I've tried nothing apps, old & new version, side by side on 2 phones.
And according to official Google post in blog about this new release, Google itself clearly states that things I've "complained" about, are gone from app.
And as soon as version 7 came out, majority of reviews on play store, reflect the same very negative opinion.

This version seemed a little smooth. I got it on the day it came out. I'm thinking they updated more than the cloud feature but memory optimizations.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Great idea but would be better if Swiftkey maker just adds an option allowing to export the data to the sdcard so user can encrypt it, store it wherever the users want to, also allow for import this data. Not so keen on the data I'm typing stored on Swiftkey's server.
S-beamed from my GSIII via xda premium
Does this new version allow user editable custom dictionaries? No idea why the devs thought that feature didn't need to be in the older versions.
Still miffed that it randomly forgets what it once knew. I have an idea. Prioritize user entered words. Problem solved.

Facebook issues please help,,,

Hi everyone.
So I got my LG pro yesterday and everything is great except my Facebook app. It shows I have version 3.5. The control bar shows up on the bottom of the screen is the first issue. Then I do not have a way to change my news feed to most recent, there is no gear to push and no matter what I do it won't show in my favorites. Also messages will not show a gear as well allowing me to see my other folder.
When I go to edit favorites it shows both news feed and messages there yet when I look neither are showing under favorites. What is going on with this phone? This is almost a deal breaker since I run a business on Facebook. Thanks for any help

It comes with fb preinstalled so it might take a bit for it to update to the latest version on play.
You could always root and remove FB app from system folder and reboot and install latest from Play.
3.5 is the latest version though, I tried deleting a and reinstalling twice already. Can someone check their phone to see if they have these options. This may be a deal killer for the phone itself

I don't know what to do? Any suggestions? Is this where your menu bar is at the bottom for facebook too?
Sent from my LG-E980 using Tapatalk 4
Ok I fixed it. In case anyone has this issue let me explain what I did. When I got the phone, I immediately updated the application before signing in. This caused my Facebook to be throwing errors.
The only way to fix it was to delete everything you could including data and the Facebook update. Then login to the original application that came with the phone. Once logged in, then update the application. Problem solved. For some reason even if I deleted the update Then redownloaded it again before signing in,it wouldn't fix i. Only signing in BEFORE updating solved it.

TouchWiz miui

I started a project on my old htc 3d EVO and have been thinking about doing a version for the note 2.
The basis of the project will be to merge more of touchwiz back into miui. Since some versions of miui are built on top of touchwiz then adding back in most of the functions are easy sort of. I personally don't like the miui launcher at all but the rest of the ROM I like. The touchwiz launcher/functions are pretty nice for my taste.
Anyone interested in helping/using something of this nature?

Starting work on the project tomorrow after work. I believe the latest miui release for the att note 2 is touchwiz. I will start it as a port to ours then play with adding in the TW launcher and features. The goal is to have as much TW (dialer for ## codes) as possible only keeping the settings and status bar from miui.

Alright guys this is where I sit on this project. I have been using Team Noobs 3.1.11 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063126 as a base and JellyBomb Domination for the TouchWiz parts http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957773 , for now although if I continue to use it I will ask for there permission before anything goes public. I will be playing with it for the next few hours and then see if I can get something out for a SELECT FEW TESTERS. I have a couple already lined up and if anyone else wants PM me. I want testers who have the Sprint Note 2 (although if you are flashed to another provider thats fine also). Being able to provide logcats and have active service is also required. Thanks for the interest and help in getting this going.
Okay I have been working on this and so far I got touchwiz and a few other things working. When I try adding everything I lose service so I am going to showly add things back in.

Info for my testers.
1. At the end of install uncheck the reboot option or installer will freeze requiring a battery pull
2. phone.apk will force close a few times then will work properly
3. the data toggle does not work
4. If you have no data do *#*#4636#*#* and change wcdma to CDMA(prl) or LTE.

There's a ROM around here already that is MIUI non AOSP as opposed to AOSP if that's what you meant.
