Samsung Galaxy S2 - Keyboard and Notepad

[107makoto1]

OMG! The Android is eating the Apple!

[matspot]

Does the galaxy 2 have the EMOJI. Key board?

[EwanScott96]

I really need help, I am on my THIRD Galaxy s2 as all the other ones had major software issues and now my third galaxy's keyboard is sometimes non responsive and i really don't want to buy a new one, Such an unreliable phone...almost disappointed :/

[metal571]

i prefer landscape two-thumbed stock android, that can be much faster than swype, especially on large-screened phones.

[gandhimaster]

wow, that swype is pretty swish!

[swanseatilidie]

i know this has nothing to do with this video, but which rom do you advise for this phone?

[plaaplaaplaa12]

its likes samsung galaxy note's s.memo

[MrScootuk]

Where did you get your wallpaper

[Spifdyr]

How have you changed message to Internet, the bottom of the home page?

[Wasupied]

@samjpullen which android is this? 2.3? I'm getting this phone and I like this os, please get back to me

[RoughRider757]

Jon I hear what you're saying.Its my experience that Apple products work far better than Samsung products.Apple focuses on certain type devices and they mater the art of producing them.There is a reson why Apple has such a loyal following.I WANTED to buy a S2 Galaxy,but by the time I had finished my research into the product,I was 100% convinced that the S2 phone is less in build quality and less reliable.No matter how cool looking a phone may be,it must be reliable for me to buy it.Buy the 4S.

[ShadowEffect1337]

Apple died with Steve Jobs...

[RoughRider757]

iphone is the best made phone on the market! I wanted to try a phone other than the iphone and after considerable research,I came to the conclusion that the best phone is still a apple.Better quality materials,better reliability.The s2 is a good phone but i just don't trust a samsung product to continue to work well 12 months after purchase.Apple build products to work and work well for years.Samsung products break down all the time.Even my cable tv box(samsung) has glitches.Apple= quality!

[john4short]

@RoughRider757 Well if your saying that, then what your saying that apple is perfect ... No their not , They face the same troubles as other company's like Samsung ... For example when the iPhone 4 first came out they were real bad reception problems which they had to fix and plus alot of people had to replace there iPhone 4's because, after removing the Headphones, the speakers stop working ... There will always be a batch of devices that have some bugs in them, nothing is perfect ...

[lilwarski0121]

@RoughRider757 Not really Samsung TV's are one of the best and reliable

[nick8cilinder]

Does your thumb get lasy when you type with one hand ?

[dotchoo]

if you put it down and use your index it's much easier. well, it is for me, anyway.

[RomShots]

hey huts and gals how ate you

[silentyellowheart]

is possible to download/apply themes for this phone? especially for the keyboard..it's one of the things keep me from trading my i4 for this phone..thanks!:)

[mevlana12345]

You are so speed in writting

[Lfcelvis1]

@prisonerfan yes u can turn it off. Their are also plenty of other better keyboards in the market place then this one.

[MrPiskfinne]

Hey dude, i'm getting my SGS2 this Tuesday or Wednesday, and i'm wondering where you got that lock screen saver. Because i think it's cool and i want it xd :D

[VSrdjanV]

Hey, what is the font you are using? :)

[Cariad28]

Just got my phone, am struggling with the keyboards, you make swype look so easy! Aarrghh!

Question; What is that wallpaper you're using? Love it!

Mine is an Australian version, not a lot of choices..

[MrLaurie8]

any physical bluetooth keyboard for this phone?

[iAMmrsCENA]

can i change the font?? it's so girly....

[chriscem]

In my phone 'Voice input' is unavailable, i cant mark it, >:(

[randomfunfulful]

You sound like you would be a cute guy. :) Love your accent.

[Omarllll]

Can't you turn the screen around and type in a bigger keyboard ?

[iCorrosive]

How is the texting on this phone? Is it smooth like the iPhone? ;)

[iCorrosive]

Can you text on landscape? Probably yeah, just making sure.

[kaffepulver]

@iCorrosive Yes you can. :)

[prisonerfan]

Hi Sam, can you tell me if you can turn predictive text off on this phone? I'm on the verge of buying one of these phones but couldn't put up with predictive text. Thanks for a quick reply

[raymondmanuel71]

Every time i watch sam's reviews..i really want to speak like him..accent is very good..:)) great review though...

[gianisgood]

Hi Sam!great review, I'm looking forward to buy this great phone for the next 2 weeks but I'm in doubt..I tried to view lots of reviews about this phone and what I see is the battery life..can you give me your own definition about its battery coz I"m going to trust your answer and also for the over heating issue on this great phone..

[Skyducharme]

No no no the phone key bored is good. you just suck at typing :3

[LovelyJessica24]

Just wondering Sam, is it possible to download an app that goes back to the old fashioned typing input? Or if anyone can help. Thank you so much for the videos Sam, truly so so helpful! x

[samjpullen]

@LovelyJessica24 you like like the 1 2 3 etc with predictive text ?

[wisdom261]

@samjpullen are you from manchester

[LovelyJessica24]

@LovelyJessica24 Yes, I think so. I'm so sorry for my awful explanation - I'm really not good at the technical lingo. I'll leave that to you Sam :p x

[samjpullen]

@LovelyJessica24 lol its ok :), but yes you can install replacement keyboards that offer the normal texting your use to :), if you need any help pm me or e-mail viewers@samjpullen . com

Good luck! :)

[Marksliphead]

@samjpullen would u prefer sgs2 or iphone 4s for gaming and texting or overall?

[booitsmeeable]

[MCAudi]

can't you just turn the keyboard horizontal?

[TheCelestialTeacup]

is this actually a useable keyboard, or is it a standalone thing?

[namnam12344]

[mvga3]

@namnam12344 I am

[CutTheMalarkey]

i wish it had a physical keyboard :( then i'd buy it

[imalsomemphis]

[newrez]

The samsung keyboard sucks and so does the predictive text. I have this phone and it is awesome, but the keyboard and predictive are the worst ive EVER used.

[MrConza12]

@samjpullen how did you get the android eating apple?thanks a mill :)

[retrobbo]

Hi. Thanks for your postings. My question is: are you able to make the keypad like a standard mobile phone keypad, rather than qwerty?

[MEofficially]

[maxaxelpro]

swype is nice and all but not usefull in most countries :D

[ToYMonkeyify]

[TheThunderCracked]

[NAZm1993]

[axuereb91]

@samjpullen Hello Sam. I was thinking of getting an iPhone at the end of this year, but watching your videos made me change my mind. I am definetly getting a samsung galaxy S2! In every video of yours i see what i want to see. You have my subscribe! By the way, do you mind if you upload a video with a few apps? Such as Yahoo! MSN.

[chefaaron11]

@samjpullen Hi i would like to know if there is a way to get free apps from anywhere for the S2 like jailbreaking an Apple device ? Thanks

[ampep69]

@gamertothelimit Yeah it can used in both landscape and potrait mode.

[hannesboey]

Hello. I've got myself a samsung s5600 long time ago. But the phone made me doubt about Samsung because of the bad interface and quality. Do you think that this phone would make me satisfied? Is it really that good ?

[TheAkshay0021]

hey does it have a grey keyboard  ? cant we change it like in htc sensation or lg optimus 2x

[AquiloISR]

Does it fit in your jeans pocket?

[TheCornerOfMusic]

Can you turn the phone to make the keyboard bigger?

[SirDagger133]

[VelaToNorma7]

[gtlaw]

Nothing beats a physical qwerty, a phone with s2 statts e7 keyboard and n8s cam is all i need

[krmlgrl08]

Does this have the led notification?

[samjpullen]

@krmlgrl08 Nope

[MsGoodgirl95]

[CrazedTeenz]

Great video Sam.. Any chance u can hit me up with the link to the background..? Legend

[Makkerz]

[rolfjansen2]

how do you get at that photo with android eathing Apple?

[dubbelfrisss579]

can you pm me the background too?

[DerTommynator]

The link of the apple eating android at 0:30 please! ;D

[Hailehk]

Haha,best keyboard in the world XD

[abortonrange022]

is the keyboard for the touch screen responsive?

[brightlyiburn]

I have an iphone 3gs, and with it I have it so that I cant quickly click back and forth between english input and spanish input on the keyboard, Can I do that with this keyboard?

Also being able to keep a letter pressed down, like the n, and get other options like ñ?

[heroprodygee]

Great video's. But the fat thumbs argument is not a good excuse with not being able to type with two thumbs in portrait mode! :)

I do it too, on my 'tiny' Desire screen. And pretty fast at that. Just needs some practice you know.

[samjpullen]

@heroprodygee I am just use to using 1 hand operation ;)

[blinkyboy86]

@samjpullen how does the samsung galaxy s2 lock the keyboard to stop it ringing people in your pocket? is it very similar to the iphone or a different way to lock it?

thanks

[DerTommynator]

i like your lockscreen wallpaper very much!! from where do you have it??

thanks in advance ;D and great videos ;D

[samjpullen]

@DerTommynator I have pmed you a link :)

[DerTommynator]

@samjpullen thanks, but i meant the apple eating android! :D

[MeisterKoernel]

@samjpullen

I like that wallpaper, too. Could you also give me a hint where to get it?

[marcosfan90]

@samjpullen can you please pm the same link cause i love that wallpaper

[ciisniice]

@samjpullen could you pls send me that link too? looks amazing :))

[louisekgriffiths]

@samjpullen I would love the link to the background image too =)

[Labam88]

@samjpullen i'd like to have it too :P

[Saakshiyr]

@samjpullen Send me a link as well ! Thanks a lot ! you video are really good bdw ! :D

[samjpullen]

@costunga I don't turn it sideways in everyday life so i didnt want to include that in this :)

[Mistahblaze84]

what is the mic symbol in the bottom of the keyboard for? is it for taking audio notes, or for dictation?

[samjpullen]

@Mistahblaze84 you can talk to the phone instead of using the keyboard :)

[schwalbstar]

;P u are the best overall

[samjpullen]

@schwalbstar :D thanks!!

[Ag3m1n1]

Sorry 1 Question. Would the Iphone suck at writing so much as well? This was horrible, you were not able to finish one sentence without failure.. Ive got an HD2 and want to change because writing is so shitty.

[samjpullen]

@Ag3m1n1 Like i said, i dont use 2 thumbs and don't use the phone sideways in everyday life so i was showing what i do :)

The iPhone is just as bad for me as above :)

[heroprodygee]

@Ag3m1n1 iPhone feels great to type on. Not because of the keyboard, but the oleophobic screen does it's justice. Plus the actual screen is very close to the glass.

I'm used to typing with an HTC Desire, but the screen looks like it's 3 to 4 milimeters from the glass, which makes typing feel bad to the fingers.

[Ag3m1n1]

@heroprodygee -Plus the actual (iphone4) screen is very close to the glass. -? And how you think about the s1/s2 screen?

[eMBLAQ]

@Ag3m1n1 Lol samjpullen's not the best writer haha but that's probz just because of the pressure of the camera. Regardless, just because one person doesn't do a good job doesn't mean everyone will be like that, i find typing on phones extremely easy - some don't.

[h0llywh0]

when tf is this realsing in the us because i thought i saw some in the us but form online

[FlyYouFools88]

well said about apple :-)

[6spdtls]

I'm gonna get SGII as soon as it releases in US......for now I'm stuck with SGI

[Free5TyLeStorM]

You should try to install the HTC IME Keyboard. Bye

[samjpullen]

@Free5TyLeStorM Nah, i am happy with Swype :), i even installed Swype on all my HTC phones in the past.

[sammy6nips]

@samjpullen Swiftkey is pretty good i use it instead of my htc keyboard, dont suppose you could make a video showing psx or n64 emulators running on this phone?

[denny2834]

woot thanks!! all like and sub!

[mycrickethighlights2]

Can you Please Make a Video Of this Phone Showing it When you Put it in your POCKETS? like JEANS.? PLEASE I BEG YOU!!

[TheVampydragon]

[samjpullen]

@mycrickethighlights2 I don't wear Jeans....

[badasscheater]

@mycrickethighlights2

You understand this phone still fits perfectly in your jeans, right? Lemme guess. it's too big for you?

That's what she said, bitch.

[jessar82]
