Finding signs in a smartphone

The arrangement of symbols may depend on the name of the application. My budget Android smartphone has the famous Gboard keyboard installed (link to Play Market). Look at the name of your keyboard in its settings. If there is a gear icon on the panel, click it. The developer must be indicated in the parameters; if there is no name, select About the application or other information sections. In the instructions I will focus on GBoard. But the tips should work for other keyboards as well.

We work on the same principle: open the keyboard and click on the letter “soft sign”. Hold it until it becomes solid.

Let's figure it out

We managed to find out:

The letter E on the phone display, next to the antenna icon, means active EDGE Internet. What is EDGE? In a sense, an add-on over GPRS, which allows you to slightly increase the speed of GPRS - up to 474 Kbps. But in practice, of course, this is still not enough.
In simple words, EDGE is a little better than GPRS, which is perhaps the initial stage of mobile Internet. GPRS is slow; it existed back in the days of simple push-button phones with a color screen. But even then there was EDGE. It allows you to load sites a little faster, in principle, in my opinion - with EDGE you can surf the Internet, it will just be a slow Internet, but not the slowest. It’s unlikely that you’ll be able to watch online videos; the speed is still not enough, but you can view simple websites. But still the download will not be lightning fast.
Usually the letter E is on a blue background.
EDGE stands for Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution.
In general, EDGE corresponds to digital data transmission technology of the 2.75G standard. But in practice, alas, it’s not almost 3G.
If it’s just GPRS, then the letter G may be displayed on the screen. The maximum connection speed is 171.2 Kbps.
HSPA can also be displayed, 3G is already more or less fast Internet, the speed reaches 3.6 Mbit/s.
HSDPA, H, 3G+, H+ this means that the phone uses HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) technology for data transmission - a high-speed type of mobile boarding, the speed can be tens of Mbit/s.
LTE is already 4G, the screen will display LTE, L or 4G icons.
VoLTE means the phone supports calls over a 4G network, not 3G. It’s faster, the connection setup speed is much faster, the sound is better quality, but users say that in Russia the technology is still crude and there are glitches during calls.

Commands for quickly inserting words or phrases

One of the most convenient features of the Google Keyboard is the creation of commands for quickly inserting any words or even long phrases and sentences. To create such commands, go to application settings → Text correction → User dictionary → For all languages.

Click the “Add” button in the upper right corner. Enters the word or phrase you need, as well as a short command that will be associated with it. For example, tb - Trashbox, kd - How are you? When you enter the command “cd” on the keyboard, the recommended words field will suggest “How are you?” This way you can enter an entire phrase with three taps.

Yoyoyoyoyoyo. hard sign and letter e on the android keyboard

Indeed, on the Google keyboard, there is absolutely no information about the presence of a hard sign. You can find out where the solid sign is using the scientific “poke” method. I will deprive you of such pleasure and give you full comprehensive instructions on where the hard sign is located on the Google keyboard.

In order for the “ъ”-hard sign to be printed on the screen of your Android tablet, you need to hold down the key with the image of the soft sign for some time. After holding it for a second, another button with the image of a solid “b” sign will appear near the “b” button. Do not rush to remove your finger; in order for the solid sign to appear, you must, without lifting your finger from the screen, move towards the button that appears.

That's all, now you know where the hard sign is on the Google keyboard.

Inexperienced users often cannot understand the most basic capabilities of their tablets. For this to go away, it will take some time and some useful tips, one of which is given in this article. Most often, the letter “E” is missing on the tablet keyboard layout, which is not a particular problem for most, because it is easily replaced with a very similar letter of the Russian alphabet “E”. Usually inexperienced users do this. But sometimes you really want to write correctly, and there are situations when you simply cannot do without “Y”. We'll show you how to achieve what you want.
