GBoard should have the text completion prediction from Gmail

The new predictions in Gmail which can suggest complete phrases are scarily accurate. It saves so much time. I'd love to have that everywhere via GBoard.

I think Google will do this in time, I hope, as they start using their massive AI in more products....

Today I updated several apps on my Android 9 Huawei Mate 20 Pro (non-rooted), among them also the SwiftKey application. After this update my keyboard was gone, completely. Unfortunately I had the great idea that this could be solved by restarting my phone. But after the restart, when asked for the password (the entering of the pin worked fine; there was a ...

Samsung should use 'Always On Display' to show the location of the fingerprint sensor

Since many folks are having a hard time locating the fingerprint sensor when the screen is off, using 'Always On Display' to show the location of the fingerprint sensor can come in handy.

With the rise of foldable phones, do you think Google will rework the Android's tablet experience ?

As foldable phones are now a thing and as they will probably offer more and more screen real estate with time (if they actually become a new standard), do you think Google will start considering Android's tablet experience again, which is currently only maintained by a few manufacturers ? I don't expect them to fully embrace it but perhaps working on making sure Android is able to provide a visual feedback and experience that kind of justify the nature of these devices.

After all, people still ...

Samsung makes flagship phone without Maxim audio chips for first time in several years!

Ok, so yesterday I got to see the Exynos S10's teardown info. Turns out that there are no Maxim audio chips to be seen! If you look at teardowns for the S8 and S9, you will see a Maxim Integrated audio amplifier. As of the S9 release, every flagship tablet, along the Note and S series phones since the Galaxy S3 contained audio chips from Maxim....

Is amoled truly an upgrade over IPS displays?

I'm looking for a new phone and have been looking at both the LG G7 as well as the V35, the main differences seem to be the v35 having an amoled display while the g7 has ips. The problem though is i keep seeing others complain about oled causing screen problems in the future. Its odd to me that a more "future proof" phone like the v35 would have a screen more suceptable to wear in the long run than the ips of the g7. So do most people still believe amoled > ips?...

What are your favorite apps/settings/ways to attend the battery life and performance of your phone?

Hey guys,

I recently replaced most of the Google apps with their Go counterpart (with exception to Maps Go, for some reason the Navigation app didn't work) and replaced other social media apps with their Lite versions. For anything else, I used Hermit to create lite apps for my favorite sites that don't have an alternative.

This has extended the battery life and performance of my phone without really getting rid of most features I get out of these apps.

What are your favorite alternatives to...

S10e vs S10/S10+ vibration motor

From this teardown [video](https://youtu.be/IB1Rku9OK5Y), it seems that the S10e has a different vibration motor (J03) from the S10/S10+ (J50)

Does anyone have the knowledge on how much these two motors differ?
