If I try to edit text I have typed out, it is very difficult. It’s impossible to place the caret in the middle of a word and difficult to place it between. Very frustrating and I don’t understand why.

    Once upon a time, Swype / FlexT9 / whatever other names it’s had on Android used to have an option to bring up a virtual D pad in the keyboard area. It was really easy to swap to as well, and being able to flip over to a functional set of arrow keys (as well as select, copy, paste, etc) made text editing so much easier.

    Like all things I used to enjoy about Android, it got removed in the name of copying Apples simplicity.

      I was thinking about this the other day, I cant have silent mode and bluetooth speaker at once - if you get a call it will ring. And there’s no way to solve this. The sharing menu can’t be sorted, I know I had the option to decide which apps come first. Now it’s random. So yeah, android is turning into shit, like most google things
