[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] svtfmook:
i had a gsm gnex on ATT, friday i ditched ATT and picked up verizon, loved my gnex, so i got a new one for my wife and i. here are my impressions of the differences between the gsm and cdma versions

first, i was easily able to use one click to unlock and root both gsm and cdma versions. the cdma did not require any special treatment to unlock, cwm, root and install 3rd party roms. it was the EXACT same procedure as the GSM.

physical differences, the cdma is just slightly thicker, honestly, i can barely tell, but, my cruzerlite case fit both just fine. the cdma feels slightly heavier, but not enough to make a difference. the power button feels harder to push in over my GSM version though, not a big deal though.

the screen on the CDMA version is perfect, my GSM had the typical banding streaks, cdma version, screen is crystal clear.

battery life was better on my GSM, but this is probably due to LTE

i never thought i would need over 16gb, since i have never had more than that on any device, but, i will say i will never have less than 32gb again, lol. the extra storage is nice! no more deleting music or backups just to install a game!

signal strength is about the same in different areas (home, work, places i frequent), but the LTE speeds are worlds difference over HSPA

all in all, the talk about the verizon gnex not a real gnex, not sure where or why that came about, it looks, feels and performs the same as my GSM.

Maybe it's time to learn how to use adb and fastboot..;)

Head over to the Q&A section, there is a thread by Jubakuba.

Beamed from my Grouper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] svtfmook:
but one click is so much easier, lulz
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knucklesmckay:
One difference between the GSM and CDMA Nexus is that you can use the GSM Nexus on Straight Talk Sim (Att or Tmo) for $45 per month and the Verizon one will cost you anywhere between $85-$110 per months. Over the course of 2 years you could save around $700+ by using GSM, if I did my math right (Verizon phone is subsidized, GSM is unsubsidized).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] svtfmook:
i have multi line family plans, discounted from work. att was $160 per month, 700 minutes shared, 200 texts each month, 2 gb data on main line, 200mb on all others. verizon is $125, 4gb shared data plan, unlimited all others.

straight talk is cool if you're trying to save money, but, i can't rely on a straight talk service with running a business off my devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knucklesmckay:
You are right. I guess it depends on how many lines you have. Shared data does probably benefit a person with three or more lines. For a single line or two lines, Straight Talk Sim is a way better option though, because you get 2+gigs of data with unlimited calls and text on each line.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] woody296:
It is really nice to be able to switch carriers as needed as opposed to "Here it comes were shoving it up your *** enjoy the year and a half you have left on your plan." Prepay is the only way for me. I come from sprint the land of "We"ll have that 4g\lte working any day now!" I don't miss it at all.

---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------

From what i understand straight talk runs off att and\or tmobile towers i'm not sure what type of "service" your business needs? 4gb shared cap can quickly be reached on multi lines.

---------- Post added at 06:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

The reason it's not considered a true nexus is not really the phone it's the carrier The phone is great, its the 2 moron companies Verizon and sprint that jack around forever waiting to let the updates come through for the nexus. It becomes somewhat ordinary when the gsm gets it and you are still waiting......but you most likely know all this. I'm sure lte is great but on a 4gb shared cap it's not that big of a deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] svtfmook:
i dropped att 7 months into the contract, no fees, they were not providing me with the data speeds i needed, i was able to leave contract because of this. just because you're in a contract, doesn't mean you can't get out if they are not providing you with the service you signed up for.

like i said, i came from 2GB + 200mb + 200mb on my lines and never went over. on verizon i have 4gb (more than enough) and it's faster (rarely got over 1mb down on att, and any other time the signal was spotty and unreliable, getting between 7 and 10mb down now. yes, the straight talk plans run off of att/tmobile networks, same as others. but, in my area, the att network was crap, so regardless if i'm saving $18 per line or not, i'd rather have a network i can rely on. see below for an example of my lightning fast, reliable att network

you and i both know that anyone here, should care less about OTA updates. i think friday was the first time, in over 10 years of smart phones/pdas, that i have ever done an OTA update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knucklesmckay:
It's too bad your Att is that slow. I can get anywhere between 3-7mbs down with Straight Talk Att. You can get 4gigs (maybe eve more) of data with 2 Straight Talk lines for $90 total per month ($45 for each line). That's a lot less than $125 per month, and its contract free. But I understand you gotta have decent coverage, it's worth nothing without coverage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] woody296:
This phone (gsm) version is the first one i have felt i didn't NEED to do something to. It's nice just to be able to run it as google intended it to be rather than root/rom so it brings it to the point where it's enjoyable. That's what makes the cdma version a little weak, you are FORCED to do something if you want latest and greatest. Will most people root/rom the cdma and gsm versions? I suppose, but it's really nice to not feel like you HAVE to. Did it feel nice to do that ota update? It's almost like moving into a modern world. Ten years of messing with phones to get it right? Seems at this point we should know what to buy and from which carrier to buy it from to make our lives a little easier, don't you think?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aaronDroid80:
I don't know if you've seen a Verizon nexus or not, but i feel the same way about not needing to flash a Rom right out of the box. I just got my nexus about a week ago, and 15 minutes after i got it activated, i got the jellybean update. It's as pure Google as they come. The only apps Verizon has on there was My Verizon Mobile and backup assistant. I used to have a droid charge, and I'm glad to say that the nexus was a welcome change. The only thing i really had to do to it was install the Swype keyboard, and it's perfect (for now).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fire n mage:
This isn't the case with sprint, we switched (my family) to Verizon from Sprint, every line had to pay 150$ i think. Data was spotty and Verizon had brought Lte to our little area in VA. meanwhile, sprint was discontinuing the rollout of Wimax and began creating their LTE towers, so there was no way we were waiting for that again. We had already had wimax 4g phones so we needed new phones anyway. Long story short, Sprints unlimited data is useless in many suburban and even urban areas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] svtfmook:
here's what i did to get out, no fees.

i called tech support because i suddenly stopped getting signal at work. they opened a ticket, called me back the next day saying it was "resolved". i had no change. i started losing reception at home, and the signal started getting spotty everywhere else. i call tech support again, they tell me it's my phone, ok, i have plenty of extras, so i swap sim into another phone, same results. they tell me my sim needs to be exchanged and reprovisioned and i need to go to the att store to do so. i go to the att store, they stare at me like i was speaking a foreign language and basically tell me "no". i go back home, call tech support, they tell me go back to store, they will call the store. i go back to the store, talk to rep, he now knows what to do. so he gets a new sim, reprovisions it, then tells me to run a speed test, because this will fix all my problems. i ran it, 80kbs, he was like, uh... i call tech support from my phone with the sales rep, the line was so staticy the tech rep had to call us back at the store, tech support tells me there's nothing more they can do and that their policy is they can't guarantee service everywhere. i then contacted the BBB, teh FCC and the attorney generals office for complaints. i then get a call back from the office of executives at att, my line was so staticy that they immediately cancelled the account right there.

if you are plagued with issues, you can get out of the contract. the BBB is a great resource, they have to respond to close out the complaint filed with the BBB

what is it that i am doing wrong here..i downladed the file twice but no go..:(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Crumpets:
There is a lot of hype surrounding WP8, particularly with respect to its increased compatibility with a wider range of hardware configurations, some of which are very similar to the SXS' hardware configuration, particularly, the support for multi-core ARM-based processors, 1280x720px screens, NFC, etc.

There are already programs out for Android devices with access to even the deepest, darkest recesses of the device's internal memory, some close to BIOS editing. So, in theory, would it be possible to rewrite the drivers surrounding the new Windows Shared Core/kernel to be compatible with existing, non-WP8 devices, with hardware features similar to existing devices, or are we limited to making metro-themed Android apps and roms?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drizzy xS:
So basically i looked around on the forum cause i was getting crap battery and it said to wipe your SD card cause you might have a dodgy file on the phone, i did that and now the phone wont boot at all i dont have any roms to flash on it and the computer wont even seem to recognise it when i mount usb storage in CVM anyone have a clue whats going on?? and what i can do to get a rom working on it? or get it to boot
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Boot into CWM recovery and connect the phone to your computer. Make sure you have ADB installed (see the links in my signature). Type "adb devices" to see if adb recognized your phone. If yes, you can transfer a rom file to the phone storage by typing:

adb push rom.zip /data/media

*Replace rom.zip with the location of the actual rom file.

Now flash the rom.

As a Touchpal user this is some great news!
[Android Apps and Games] paul c:
Sounds good :) I've been using Swype beta for the last 18 months or so - sliding to type is definitely the way froward on a virtual keyboard, but Swype has its limitations, especially the latest beta. Also bought SlidIt some time back, but found it was really inaccurate.

So from TouchPal, I'd be looking for accurate prediction (I type 50-50 between English and Spanish, and Swype renders "Hola" as Hilda, has difficulty with "OK"...), easy language switching, custom language dictionary (per language), easy navigation between letters, numbers and symbols.

I'm also fascinated by the idea of contextual prediction, and only sliding half a long word.
[Android Apps and Games] iKarido:
Can't wait to try out the new beta! This is some good news
[Android Apps and Games] Teio:
I really love SwiftKey (which is my main keyboard btw), and also love Swype.

I find myself hanging between those two from time to time, and always thought that someone should create a keyboard like Swype with the predictions from SwiftKey.

Then I came across this thread and was like, WOW! This is exactly what I was waiting for...

Looks like you read my mind...

I can't wait to try it, and maybe (probably) ditch Swype and SwiftKey for good, and have only one keyboard installed.

I wish to see simultaneous dual language modes just like SwiftKey does, and it's flawless, combined with sliding from Swype.

Maybe learning from Facebook, Gmail, Twitter and SMSes, that would be the ultimate keyboard for me.
[Android Apps and Games] mybeautify:
Perfect for both prediction and sliding input

TouchPal is wonderful. Definitely should try it out.
[Android Apps and Games] short/y:
I started using TouchPal back on Windows Phone when it was called Windows Mobile. Looking forward to trying this out.
[Android Apps and Games] lukesjeans:
Loved touchpal last year.....would love to test new version!
[Android Apps and Games] lucas.viana:
TouchPal wins in 2 aspects:

1 - Best Keyboard!

2 - Free!
[Android Apps and Games] mliou:
looks promising, can't wait to be part of the test group.

[Android Apps and Games] lennie:
Have been using touchpal since the winmo days. Lol was the best keyboard for my athena device.
[Android Apps and Games] gavin-phelan:
Gonna be the best i would say
[Android Apps and Games] tristan202:
Any new languages supported? To be specific, I want to know if Danish has been added? Tried out touchpal on several occasions, and really like it. I just miss the Danish dictionary. However I would still like to testdrive this new beta.
[Android Apps and Games] Eratrion:
Use this off and on and very interested in testing out the next version.
[Android Apps and Games] undercover:
Sounds very promising. Time will tell. Beta request email sent. Thanks guys.

Touchpal needs next word prediction feature.

HTC Sensation - Tapatalk Beta
[Android Apps and Games] chrisrj28:
Yeah I'm just using the Sense keyboard with HTC trace for now, used to use swype but I don't really like how the keyboard looks.

Slideit is nice and has a lot of good options but it is slow as hell, looking forward to something new.

First and foremost a resizing option for the keyboard would be cool, liked that on slideit
[Android Apps and Games] ggs2:
Wish it didn't force me to switch to non Swype mode in web address and temporarily disable auto spacing with single button or slide like Swype allows by doing from space to back space
[Android Apps and Games] undercover:
Anyone willing to post apk?
[Android Apps and Games] Swiizard:
Using touchpal for about one year now. Before I used Swipe (old phone was a Galay S), but touchpal is much better. Can't wait to test the beta.
[Android Apps and Games] gto:
I've used Swipe and I'm now using Swiftkey...I'll try Touchpal hopping for a permanent prediction bar and as good as Swiftkey or better predictions and an intelligent language switching...
[Android Apps and Games] TouchPal:
Currently we are receiving a lot of email from your guys, please be patient and we will soon give it to you guys
[Android Apps and Games] drmason:
used toupal for around a year, then swiftkey came up with their new version and i switched back. I'm curious how the new version from you guys perform, so I yould like to give the beta a spin.
[Android Apps and Games] swisswizz:
languages/autocorrect

Would be really cool if you had

multiple languages plus an easy way to switch between them

context-sensitive autocorrects, eg not active in search boxes but active when you're typing an email

The first point is pretty much a must-have, the second would be a huge improvement over all existing keyboards,
[Android Apps and Games] Hixman:
Looking forward to trying this!
[Android Apps and Games] TouchPal:
thank you for your support, love you!
[Android Apps and Games] burnout:
Hi,

also using Swiftkey and Swype. But a bit bored of switching between them.

Really excited to try this beta. Would like to have only one keyboard : Touchpal...

Any chance to view a "Delete" button on v5? Is hard to understand the lack of "Delete", even on the Asus dock keyboard. I see "Backspace" but no "Delete"!
[Android Apps and Games] Gnaver:
Hey i would like to test v5 but heres my question. Will the new beta have czech language? in v4 you promised to include it but after a year still nothing. I even helped with translate some frequent words from czech to english. Thx for reply
[Android Apps and Games] Jal253:
I use SwiftKey and swype, I usually get bored of each after some time and then I take a break and use the stock keyboard. I hope to get a winner with this one, best of both world

I'm looking forward.trying this keyboard out. You've listed exactly the issues. I have with the other two big boys.
[Android Apps and Games] Massyboy:
First used TouchPal as an alternative swiping keyboard to the others on the market and used it for quite a while but when the latest Swype beta came out, it just about managed to persuade me away however I have started to get annoyed by a few things so I'm really hoping the new TouchPal beta wins me back around so I can find my perfect keyboard. I really liked the previous version so I hope the new interface and prediction can make it a winner
[Android Apps and Games] Lyvyoo:
I will send you right now an email, but I publish right here the screenshot where I can't find the "Delete"button. Only "Backspace"... My device - Asus Infinity PAD with JB
[Android Apps and Games] TouchPal:
hi Lyvyoo, we could the Delete button right here above button Go, and we resend you Beta for you to reinstall, because we find you've installed a wrong version. Thank you for your support

[Android Apps and Games] Rozza C:
The last time I tried this, it showed some promise. But it wasn't enough to prise me away from SwiftKey.

I'd be happy to give this new beta a shot though.
[Android Apps and Games] Lyvyoo:
Thank you,

The installation process was managed by Google Play. So may be a problem for all the people that use TouchPal on Asus INfinity Pad
[Android Apps and Games] chiefvelo:
It's great to see how this has changed as a long time user
[Android Apps and Games] jackattack:
Agreed. I absolutely love the popup animations. The whole keyboard is much improved.

One thing I'd like to see implemented is to detect when space was missed and split words likebthis.
[Android Apps and Games] zukri90:
Definitely looking forward to this.
[Android Apps and Games] ysuleman:
Looking forward to helping out
[Android Apps and Games] shawner47:
Currently using Swiftkey as I didn't think any of the swiping keyboards were good enough at the time.

I would love to test out Touchpal again. It may be just the thing I'm looking for.

Hmm, I didn't get a beta download link. While seeing other people with....a bit sucks

Sent from my SGH-T999
[Android Apps and Games] Freak07:
I would like to test touchpal because as it's mentioned in the op something like SwiftKey with swyping would really be amazing! There's also always room for improvement so i'd be really glad if i could help you with testing. Either it's on my One X or Transformer!
[Android Apps and Games] burnout:
Hi,

really impressive !

just two things :

- no € (would be nice on first layer)

- possibility to make uppercase letter by 'swyping' up the keyboard.

Anyway, it will be nearly perfect. Good job
[Android Apps and Games] Roscopcoletrain:
Gonna try this for sure. always up for new keyboard testing
[Android Apps and Games] guitardoc64:
Got the beta last night, so far I like it better than the previous version with regard to ease of use and speed. It reminds me of the original WinMob TouchPal, and I can get similar speed typing with it.

Same here...great expectations as am currently using Swype.
[Android Apps and Games] WillStylez:

[Android Apps and Games] jerdog:
We definitely need more options and with the recent issues I have experienced with SwiftKey it's refreshing to see the new version coming!

Only had a quick go, but so far it is impressive.

I'm gonna put together an email in the next day or so, but it would only be minor changes. :)

[Android Apps and Games] smgulsby:
Similar to previous used on WinMo. Need swift key prediction capabilities. Love being able to press the space bar for most of my typing. I find swype to be less reliable at times.

Looking forward to assisting.

I want to be a beta tester, because TouchPal is at the moment faster than speaking and just got much faaster :)

Expection: Wordbook importing from Excel woudl be awesome :)
[Android Apps and Games] starflorida:
Tested older ver in the past and would be glad to test this one
[Android Apps and Games] ludoo:
I'd love to beta test it, Swype is great but too heavy on resources, if this thing is as good as your contacts app it will rock!
[Android Apps and Games] AbuShabanov:
Definitely looking forward to trying this keyboard out!
[Android Apps and Games] fards:
multitouch sliding especially on tablets is the way to go, but it needs to be reinforced with very very good fuzzy recognition to make it usable

Yeah I'm using the one from the market could use a bit more work...
[Android Apps and Games] XdaProNoob:
what are the supported languages?

are there any language packages?

is the release version will be paid or we can subscribe to a beta plan after first release?
