Oh, and DayDream (screen saver/dock utility for showing slide shows, etc...), 'gesture typing' (i.e. swype) is integrated now, and last, but not least ... multi-user profiles! I know some people with young kids who are going to love that one! http://www.tweaktown.com/news/26458/top ... index.html |

My phone just did an over-the-air update to 4.2 last night. Thanks, T-Mobile! |

I updated my phone to 4.2 yesterday morning. Neat new stuff, but I haven't gotten Daydream to work. Does that only work if you have a dock? |

Check settings. It can be enabled when docked or when charging. Haven't had time to play with it much yet... Hopefully today. I want to get some stick time on the new keyboard. Edit: If you go into display settings, and you can try the various modes for daydream, and manually activate them. I The photo frame and photo table are really optimized for tablets, but in the clock mode it will be replacing the generic clock app as my morning alarm. |

Liking the gesture keyboard. I loved Swype, but eventually switched back to the stock Android keyboard since I preferred the way its predictive autocorrect and multiple autocorrect guesses worked. Now, I have the best of both! |

One thing I prefer about Swype over the 4.2 keyboard is the ability to swipe punctuation. If I want a question mark, I can swipe from 'M' to the space bar and it inserts a question mark and a space. With the 4.2 keyboard, I have to longpress the period until the punctuation menu pops up, then I have to move to the question mark. Also, about half the time I do so, I miss because my finger is blocking the keys and I end up putting in a right parenthesis instead. Is there any easier way to get to the commonly used punctuation marks? |

im still getting familiar with the new keyboard, but so for I love it. As far as gesturing for punctuation, I'm not sure if that's possible. If you short tap the [?123], the bottom row of letters turn into common punctuation. I know that's really not as easy as a gesture. It wouldn't surprise me if there was a way to do it, but I haven't found it yet. I did find this pretty cool video that shows a lot of the new features for both phone and tablet on 4.2. http://www.droid-life.com/2012/11/14/vi ... -and-more/ Edit: I'm rather annoyed that my Nexus 7 hasn't received the update to 4.2 yet... /mashes the 'Check Now' button again... |

Yeah, that's my only gripe with the new keyboard so far, Moo. Swyping punctuation was nice. |

LOL, I just powered off the N7, downloaded the EZ-Updater from XDA, and was about to manually update it. I accidentally hit the power button before I got it connected to my computer, so I let it boot, and lo and behold, the System Update icon was there.... /happydance |

I found out that if I turn off the next word prediction (that I don't use), when I hit space, it will put the common punctuation in the word correction bar above the keyboard. |

nice! I just found the long press of the Home button opens Google Now (not sure if this is new, I just accidentally stumbled on it). |
