Top 5 Onscreen Touch Keyboard apps for Android Devices Posted: 20 Oct 2013 03:23 PM PDT When smartphone industry has grown so huge, it is not a surprise that companies have tried to converge every feature into the mobile devices. It would not be incorrect to say these smartphones are almost like your mini mobile computers and with a device so personal, users find options that best suit their style. With the kind of services these devices offer and to think no basic QWERTY physical keyboard is there to assist, it makes it rather important to have the right kind of touchscreen keyboard on the screen. Android devices have a lot of apps to choose from in this regard. When it comes to a keyboard on touch screen, the developers have spent a lot of energy at crafting apps for keyboards. This article suggests the best five apps for keyboards sorted upon two types: tap typing and swipe spelling. TouchPal With a wide variety of options that are offered, it is definitely an app worth trying. There is a support for twenty languages and users can even download more than one pack if they have multilingual routines on their Android smartphones. TouchPal is based upon a swiping mode offering a number of keyboard layouts including the standard QWERTY keyboard with number keys and it is pretty easy to switch layout as all you have to do is swipe left or right. Also, the text prediction is based on a smart suggestive technique that is correct with most of the guesses for the next word. Swiftkey Text prediction is the core feature this app is fundamentally created upon. Swiftkey is more accurate than many top-notch keyboard apps in guessing the next word to be entered right after the second and in some cases, the first letter has been punched in. All the user is left to do is tap on the word rather than spelling each letter out. That would save a lot of time. For other functions like backspacing an incorrect word, simple gesture support has been added. You can get the app free of cost so head to the store if you are interested. Better Keyboard Better Keyboard claims to be one of the fastest QWERTY keyboard apps with skins that can not only be chosen to go with the device interface but the color schemes also give high visibility in Sunlight at comparatively lower brightness setting. Reviews have been positive so far and apparently the app uses half the CPU power than other apps thus, less battery drain. Gesture support and larger keys for easy typing make this a very user-friendly touchscreen keyboard. Available for $2.99 for Android users. Swype It is the keyboard app that practically introduced the swiping word gesture in onscreen touch keyboards. All you have to do is swipe the intended word as clearly as possible and you will have the desired word on the screen with a number of other possibilities if the word predicted is not the one. Swype makes tapping letters look like a tedious job as swiping is faster and smoother. This keyboard app comes with a backup and sync option for your personal dictionaries that you can save in the cloud and sync with any of your Android devices thus, eliminating the hassle of adding words to your personal vocabulary over and over again with a change in device. You will find Swype pre-installed in Motorola Droid X and for others the developer opens the originally closed beta app from time to time. SlideIT SlideIT is only slightly different from Swype keyboard app. As the name suggests, this app also supports swiping method for words making it very quick to type in or should I say 'swipe in' your desired words. Even if you are not on the mark with your swipe gesture, the app will still be correct in predicting your word in most cases. If you didn't like Swype but don't want do use a tap typing keyboard then SlideIT would be a good choice. You can get either the free or the paid version from the Android Market. Paid version will definitely add to the features. The post Top 5 Onscreen Touch Keyboard apps for Android Devices appeared first on Techmell.

iPhone 4 Users Suffering From an Ailment of a Little too ‘Relaxed’ iOS 7 Posted: 06 Oct 2013 04:55 PM PDT Since the release of iOS 7, users with the old iPhone 4 have been complaining about the severe slow speed of the phone and have been wondering if there was a chance to switch back to iOS 6. But to their dismay, Apple has officially stopped signing off the old system, thus, effectively erasing this option. The device that was released in 2010 beholds quite a slower A4 processor as compared to the recent ones. It has been advised by experts that waiting for an iOS 7 update, that might work more effectively on the old device is a safer option. However, customers can take some primary steps such as leaving enough free storage space so the device could function faster. Another step that can be taken is to stop the system from checking for third-party apps; for this, simply go to the settings apps, navigate to general and then to the right- hand pane of Background App Refresh and touch the switch. If these basic steps do not do the trick, you can try connecting the iTunes, perform an encrypted backup and restore the phone to factory settings; after the completion of the process data and apps restoration is possible. But even if this does not work, Adam Engst of TidBITS suggests a complete install of the core system without any backup or its restoration. Even with all this show of inadequacy in iPhone 4 running iOS 7, people holding iPhone consider they are lucky as they get the chance to get an update unlike Android users; Because even the less fortunate version running on iPhone 4 offers a "Near me" list of apps that are outlined according their popularity among the public.

The Service Manual of Nexus 5 Leaves Little to Imagination Posted: 06 Oct 2013 04:49 PM PDT The official release of Nexus 5 by Google and LG is projected to be only a few weeks away. The Nexus experience is always translated as the ultimate Android experience, a practice that does not allow any interference from the third party. And is most certainly the platform of innovation from which Android begins another journey. However, in the case of Nexus 5, the thrill of the new device is being diminished as the number of leaks are increasing and exposing the device. The most recently disclosed service manual of Nexus 5 validates previous rumors regarding a 5 inch screen and a quad- core Snapdragon processor. Obviously no leak is complete without snaps to demonstrate the device. The manual also represents data in relation to the software of the phone. The device has 2GB of RAM, a 2,300 mAH battery and NFC, along with an 8 megapixel camera with optical image stabilization. According to the manual, the device seems to be an update to Nexus 4 with nothing truly life- changing but lets' hope it is an improvement to nexus 4. The price of the phone has not been set yet, but Nexus 4 was priced at $299, which was considered remarkably inexpensive. Whatever the cost, the device will be the definite way to obtain a complete Android experience. Although some customers might prefer the new Moto X over the Nexus 5 as the former has an exceptional "always on- recognition" feature. The manual has illustrated the features of the device with an utmost precision, leaving little to the imagination, or even curiosity. But that is no reason not to try out the phone, right?
