My speeds are faster on Edge than on Hspda right now

I don't get why they just can't throttle to like 250 or 500k

I used 4.5GB in 4days wasn't use to these new speeds and Google Play Music using up 3GB of data since it had to redownload all my music.

I miss my G1. Although, I had 4 of them with 5 months, before I switched to the Droid 1, on Verizon.

i ordered one of these this morning (amazon prime- win).
Amazon.com: elago G5 Breathe Case for Galaxy S3 (Fits Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint and other Carriers) - Soft Feeling Dark Gray - ECO PACK: Cell Phones & Accessories

I've been using an Otterbox Commuter since the day I got it.

The case has a matte finish on it which is what provides the grip, there isn't really any other textural aspects to it.

If i had to compare it with something, I'd say its similar to what a computer mouse might be with the slightly rubbery feel to it. Probably middle of the road. Its not a very tacky material, so it will still slide across the table a bit but its much better than without a case.

Its a good mix of grip and some protection while not feeling bulky. My only other comparison is the Cruzzer Lite which felt large by comparison.

The phones availability is sporadic, it will say sold out and become available a minute later. People are having luck by getting into the cart then continuing to click on the proceed link.

Good luck, I had no I idea the shipping was 4-5 weeks when I ordered it

Anyone know of a dowloadable keyboard that has back and forward keys that will work on an Asus tf700 running jellybean?
Stock keyboard is driving me crazy without them. Cant wait for my keyboard dock.

[happasaiyan]

unexpected, but my sgs3 is CRUSHING my gnex in battery life. just finished uploading 700mb to dropbox and at this time on a normal day without any of that file transferring, the gnex would be around 40%. the sgs3 is still sitting above 60%. impressive. my gnex had the extended battery, too, fwiw.

maybe the battery just degraded so much over time, i didnt realize how bad it had gotten.

[Corifto]

I've used Swiftkey for years, since they were beta. They have great predictability, as well as the availability of on screen arrows.

I like the text predictability of swiftkey over smart keyboard, but the number keypad layout bugs me, too used to the traditional iPhone style number keypad

[Jackie]

Okay I downloaded SwiftKey. How do I get forward and back keys. And how do I make the question mark symbol. Why do I suck so much

[Jackie]

Haha! I I figured out the question mark key? Yesss

I went through added to cart, got all the way to 'proceed' but removed it cause I'm still happy with my gnex.

Not surprising. In pretty much every review/battery rundown test, its GNote2>GS3>GNex in terms of battery life.

the extended battery on the GNex was a decoration.
The SGS3 demolishes it.

Alright I figured it out, Smart Keyboard Pro has an option to add arrows. Much easier than that damn cursor. Typing seems better too

You all sorted? Sorry, I was outside replacing a headlight assembly for my sister. Although, this was rather hilarious to come back to.

[markman]

Hey what is the path where the system update .zip gets stored when it downloads over the air? Need to manually flash my N7 and can't remember where the file is. I did it before...

I've used swiftkey since it was beta, tried a lot of other keyboards between just to see what they were like, always ended back at swiftkey.

However, the 4.2 keyboard is the tits. I tried the original swype keyboard, 4.2 is better. of course, this is IMO.

[eNx]

4.2 keyboard is awesome but I had to go back to Swiftkey because of it's mind reading ability. It just remembers so well that I bearly have to type a letter and predict all the way through.

[markman]

I wish the 4.2 keyboard would let you go back and touch words that were swyped and give autocorrect options instead of only letting you correct the last word.

After only 2.5 hours of clicking and refreshing, my order went through for a 16GB Nexus 4.

Holy dedication Batman!

[Jard]

I have an iPhone 4. I've waited two long years to find something I actually want to buy.

For anyone still trying, when you are on the shopping cart screen, tab over to "Proceed" and hold in your Enter key until it processes.

The yellow bar that we have captured in the image above just appeared on Google Play. It reads:

Google Play is currently experiencing very high traffic. Nexus 4 is not sold out and will still be available for purchase. Please try again shortly. Thank you for your patience.

So, there you have it. The Nexus 4 is not sold out. Try again later.
