Finally got the jellybean update for my phone, few questions.

[Bouncer]

did google now cards come up for you yet? way home from gym it popped up telling me it was 11 minutes to home and traffic was clear. it will do that from wherever you are as long as you have your home addy saved in navigation.

[Bouncer]

So google now is smart but not that smart. It noticed I was going to the same place every day and now thinks the gym is "work". lolz. easy to change but i got a little kick outta that one.

You both need to download SwiftKey keyboard.

Does it really pop up for you automatically? It never pops up for me. I have to go into the app manually and when I do, I get this:



Only when I tap on the "more" cards at the bottom, I get the traffic card.

Scrum,

Most likely need to hold your home or menu button down for a couple of seconds.

[Scrumhalf]

Cool.. that did it, thanks Turbo! But Bouncer makes it sound as though the traffic info would pop up on the screen automatically.. almost as though the program was running in the background and was sensing where I was based on the GPS. Now that would be useful if I was going to run into traffic a couple of miles down the road.

i get the little google now icon in the upper left hand corner. then when you swype down it tells you "11 minutes to so and so" before you actually open up google now. I will take a screen shot of the notification i get when it happens next.

that IS what it is doing!! but no it doesnt pop up on your screen, it simply gives you a little info icon letting you know google now has some info for you if you want it.

Swift is great IF you don't use speech to text. That aspect of it is terrible.

Me too...I just talk when I text.

Wow swype huh? I recommended swift key. It isn't swipe, just try it out.

Kind of. I get the same notifications that you are getting. But i think Scrum is also looking for it to basically give traffic update notifications in real time, which mine doesn't do.

i dont know what the hell it is, it just comes with that sort of option on the keyboard, you just swipe your finger across and it draws like a yellow line.

maybe it does that in car mode? i dont know.

Swift and swype are entirely different; despite the fact they both start with the letter 'S' lol.

Swift keyboard is an aftermarket keyboard app that is more accurate, predictive and forgiving of typos than the native keyboards. However, the speech to text is not very good. It does not allow you to keep talking like Google speech.

Again, swift key doesn't involve any sort of swiping, drawing, coloring, or word scrambling.

SwiftKey is a regular keyboard that learns from your text input.
