Goodby too..?

Gee, this is tougher that I expected. I made the mistake of reading the other posts. Boohoo. Sooo, My first "smartphone" was the Verizon XV6700 with Windows OS. I hated it so much. I went to an LG with the phycial keys and was happy. It had the little dinky screen. Good for txt which is why I got it. Then the D1 hit !! it was everything+ that I wanted the XV6700 to be. By this time I'm "on" nightlies. Then D2 nah, D X nah, nah, nah. D3 ! Yeah!! I thought it would be the second coming. HashCode and all the D3 dev made it so promising. I have 80 GB of memory on it. I am (was) prepared for the future! I didn't know it then, but it kinda all ended with HC's post of the true bleakness of this phone, the D3. I have hung on since reading that post. I am ready to move on. 3 days ago I opened another line so I could get the GNex. I missed the days when I had a 1250 kernel on my D1 and it would be zipping along so fast it would trip over itself..I missed putting roms on my phone developed by devs with a passion to get it right. So, I will check back and see if GB for the D3 is perfected, or, just check in to see hows it going.

In closing I'd like to say that Hard work works, “The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense.”

hey guys... i though this would be fun.... to have a competition using your favorite keyboard to see how fast you can get (measured in Words per Minute) in free-form (typing whatever comes to mind, not a set paragraph where you have to take your eyes off of the keyboard and then look back at it).

so click here and see how fast you can get... please be sure to post your results!!! (along with which keyboard you are using)

instructions from the site: "Begin typing in the box to start the test. The test will run for 60 seconds. Do not stop until you see the box turn red."

i was only able to get around 40 wpm so far with swiftkey (two handed)... but i'm sure i can improve that somewhat.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dalamar1320:
I did 57 wpm using stock JB keyboard and 62 wpm using Swype. I think I could have done better with Swype if could think of words to type faster lol

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I always argue with people cause I think that on screen software keyboards are a million times faster than the physical hardware keyboards like old school BlackBerry. I recom I can have a full sentence completed by the time a physical keyboard user could begins the 3rd word. Anyone an old blackberry user able to chime in? How many WPM could a hardware keyboard user reach on this test.

Dude, that's crazy! That's about what I get using a physical keyboard on my computer! Can't wait to try the JB keyboard.... Is it any better than SwiftKey?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] in_dmand:
man, how are you guys getting so fast in the stock keyboard?! i really like the "rapid" feature in swiftkey and how you can type multiple words together without hitting the space or suggestion bar... but i don't think the stock kb has this feature. any tips you do for speed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdrienC:
Using my laptop keyboard on chrome, got 76 Max.

On swiftkey got 53 and 56.

Will try later on asus transformer dock keyboard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iLeopard:
Lol what a troll :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtygoldfish:
Stock keyboard: 63 wpm

Swiftkey: 65 wpm

Huh, I thought I would be significantly faster with Swiftkey. Interesting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbirth:
There should be some given text to type. I noticed that especially train codes like "S47", i.e. letters mixed with numbers, make the difference between the keyboards. In SwiftKey I can set the delay for "long-press" (2nd function of the keys). And I found the (non-changeable) delay in Swype awfully long. So typing such a code takes significant longer with Swype than with SwiftKey.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
Swiftkey seems to save me keystrokes but doesn't make my typing faster. That is because if I rely on the next word prediction, I have to constantly look up to that part of the screen to see if the next word is an option. Unless it is a long word, I can generally type faster by just continuing to type the word.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Paddington:
55 wpm with Swype. I'm probably 50-75% faster with Swype than stock, but that's because I don't use the prediction stuff much. I would have done faster than 55, but I accidentally hit the speech-to-text button, so I lost about 2-3 seconds loading it, canceling it, and getting back to the keyboard. I also couldn't think of things to type. I imagine I would be about 40 wpm with stock and 60-70 or so with Swype normally.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shev7chenko:
44 wpm stock jellybean kb
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Remoteconcern:
I got 65 words per minute with swype, and only a few ludicrous typing errors. Although I got 55 with the stock keyboard, I made more errors. And I can use swype one handed, which obviously opens up a whole world of possibilities...

Now to decide if it is worth returning this one and just paying full price for an unlocked one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blockhead42:
I'll be putting mine up on ebay, getting the unlocked one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Haro912:
Was just about to post this. Wonder if this will aid in the bootloader issue as it atands. I don't have to he money for a 600 dollar phone haha.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kipland007:
wow... this better not fly. how does their original statement about keeping their network secure apply to the rest of us then?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lblacklol:
I'm sorry but this is utter garbage. If any of us had known this was the way things were going to play out we would have held out for this one in the first place. This is really just unbelievable. First we are led to believe our SG3 is going to be the same as the rest, only to find out we have a locked boot loader, now they dangle a $600 "developer" edition in front of us after most people interested in the developer aspect have already pre ordered the regular one? Am I the only one who is really ticked off about this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] itsmefu:
Good for Samsung, Verizon still sucks. If I had $600 I would buy one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Old MuckenMire:
I assume this device would ship minus the ongoing wifi notification? :o
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
Yep, this honestly just made me even more mad at them. Why can't they just give us an unlock tool just like htc where its in their system?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
Will this impede the developer efforts being made to unlock the subsidized model or will the devs deem it a waste of time?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
Not at all, it will just get us unlocked faster most likely.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kipland007:
I can't imagine it will... there will probably be a very small percentage of people who will own them so not really a huge point to dev for it. Hopefully it can help unlock though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] silver04v:
This is ridiculous.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lblacklol:
I'm worried this will set us back. Why mess with locked if you can just buy unlocked? Except not all of us are gonna be able to just eBay ours to buy this, whenever its actually released. I'm hoping the devs don't abandon this project.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] c4v3man:
Well, I think developers would like to test out encrypting the bootloader, so it should DEFINITELY come with a tool to enable encryption of the bootloader. And it should also allow them to disable the encryption afterwards obviously... right? ;)

Hopefully Samsung will do the right thing and leave a loophole for us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ZachPA:
I am slated to receive my SGS3 via FedEx tomorrow. I am currently a customer with Sprint, and I had planned to drop Sprint for Verizon upon activating this new phone. I am seriously having second thoughts now.

The biggest reason for choosing the SGS3 for me was because historically, Sammy hasn't restricted their devices by locking the bootloaders. I came from using two EVO devices (4G and 3D), which had increasingly difficult-to-crack bootloaders. Though I eventually achieved S-OFF with both devices, I wanted to support a company whose track record indicated community with developers, not antagonizing us.

I knew I wanted to drop Sprint, and I will never, ever consider AT&T again. So, I have my pick of two carriers to choose, and I chose Verizon based on their LTE network which is both new and fast in my area. I will probably hold my phone unopened and unactivated for a couple of days until I decide.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wiz561:
I don't think they will. I've been going back and forth with keeping the phone or taking my chances with Sprint. I just got the phone today and decided I'll keep it on Verizon.

I think that there aren't many people out there ready to shell out 600 bucks for a phone. After all, look at how many "unlocked" phones you can buy, but yet people still get the contract phones. I have to agree with the other posters about how if anything, it will help us out with the locked phones. Who knows, maybe it's as simple as using the odin tool to flash a backup of an unlocked phone....considering they are probably the same model numbers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] luke1333:
they both suck if you ask me. they should have had this option available before everybody preordered one

i agree. this better not fly is right. verizon says its compromises security in the network and yet this happens. sammy and verizon are all about the money anymore screw both of them

value is going to go way way down lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Schaweet:
Hope you are right. I hope we could take the unlocked Verizon bootloader from the dev phone and have the guy with JTAG equip flash it to this phone. I am clueless on this stuff but would be cool if it worked. I know I'd pay him to do it for sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] invisiblek:
Once again guys let's not get our undies in a bundle. This could be the best news for us in the last few days. We might be able to use this...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ckochinsky125:
This is crazy, but I do not feel like returning mine and then going to buy another one. Why can't samsung just release an unlock code or something for everyone? You really want to get some customers PO'd do what exactly samsung is doing. I know once I am due for an upgrade again samsung will be down low on my list right above moto if they do this and do not give those of us who bought it an option to unlock.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheBiles:
This pisses me off even more than the bootloader being locked in the first place. Not only would I have to sell my normal S3, I'd have to wait for one of the developer ones, most likely with a tiny stock, to ship to me. I don't know how Samsung could possibly think this is a valid solution after the majority of people who want to hack their phone bought it when it came out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sgtmack:
I want to know how soon it will be available. I would gladly sell my new S3 on Ebay to buy an unlocked one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mb27:
Any chance this could help people on here unlock the bootloader on the VZW S3?

I'm also slightly skeptical of this. I don't see this anywhere else but on some blogs. I can't find anything official from Samsung.

Hmm, according to CNet, Samsung sent this out as an email. That could be why there's no official release.

I also don't see that you can currently buy anything from http://developer.samsung.com

This is the most annoying frustrating thing. Do I return the phone before the 14 days are up now? I don't really want to spend double on the exact same phone... F u Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NAU420:
This could be good news for us. Looks like Samsung is getting some heat from us. I say keep the calls to Samsung going and also the facebook comments going. I keep telling that I'm returning because of this. They don't want to hear this..... Keep going guys...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ExodusC:
This is absolutely disgusting.

I don't know why people support this, or why people are assuming we'll magically be able to flash the developer firmware/bootloader to our standard Verizon Galaxy S3s.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DrkGhst87:
Haven't read into it yet but is this version only available unsubsidized? Or can it be purchased at a subsidized price if I haven't upgraded yet?

Sent from my Glitched MIUI v4 fascinate using the premium XDA app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shabbypenguin:
i would imagine that shot is at me, like i said just guessing i dont see any reason why not.

using something like dd to write every single partition to another device and basically "clone it" would then bypass the checks for certain software.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ExodusC:
No, that wasn't directed at you or anyone in particular- I was more referring to the tons of support the model was getting in the IRC channel.

I don't understand it, because I seriously doubt it will help.

It's possible, but I'm really doubting it.

Regardless, unless it does prove as a method for allowing consumer-level devices to be unlocked, it is practically useless to almost all Galaxy S3 owners on Verizon.

I'm not bashing anyone, I'm just disgusted Samsung and/or Verizon would think this is an okay alternative.

Also, how about all that "unlocked devices will hurt the network" stuff from Verizon? I believe there's a bit of a contradiction here.

Edit: Just restating, no hard feelings towards you, shabbypenguin, or anyone else, it just blows my mind Samsung and Verizon would pull this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Immolate:
You'll be buying directly from Samsung so there will be no subsidy. You'd have to sell your Verizon-bought phone and use the cash for this if you want to do it on the cheap.

So basically the phone doesn't come with a warranty why offer warranty on a phone that people want to hack Verizon u piss me off I'm on sprint and I probably hate Verizon for doing this just as much as u guys

Giving my locked GS3 to my wife.

Well this will make my wife happy. As soon as the developer version is available I'm going to get it and give the locked GS3 I just got today to my wife.

One question though, assuming the locked version can be unlocked, does that mean development for both devices will be the same? Or is it possible that they will have to have separate development?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tailsthecat3:
Every device has a warranty, until you unlock it. Technically. And unless they can see that it was ever unlocked when you lock it back up...it's all good

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sabre31:
Relax all this is good news for you Verizon folks. By having this phone it will make it much easier for devs to release a boot loader unlock which would make your phone be free like the rest.

By the way Verizon is the worst why stay with them?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mattydangerfox:
This is really irritating. So Verizon says that people will ruin the network by unlocking the phones, but Samsung will release a phone for developers to unlock, and therefore supposedly ruin the network? I mean seriously. The only people who are going to unlock these bootloaders are the same people that are going to spring for this phone. Either way, it's going to be people that at least have somewhat of an idea of what they are doing. This just doesn't make any sense. It seems like a ploy for Sammy to make some extra cash.

Not to mention VZW has people that ordered their phone early to save unlimited trapped.

This will be the last time I renew my contract with Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stevessvt:
They did this EXACT same thing with the RAZR. I am more than happy to pay the ETF and get out from Verizon's stronghold.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tailsthecat3:
Nobody is ever trapped. Just buy a device at retail price and keep the plan. Simple. Annoying hearing people say they "can't upgrade until" ... or "I don't have an upgrade"...if you want something, get it

I'll still pass this up because of all the mods that Verizon made, unless this particular dev gs3 is free of the bloat and other system mods.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheBiles:
Maybe the fact that this wasn't announced until AFTER I had already given Verizon my money for the phone? The real solution is to make an unlock tool like HTC and ASUS.
