this belongs in the general section

It's only been a couple of days, you have 14 to figure out if you can go without it.

I too will miss my keyboard. But what choice do we have now? I don't think they will ever make another flagship keyboard phone anywhere

I have been using my Epic on occasion when I have a long message to type

So do you still have the Epic activated w/ a number or are you sending messages via wifi?

Yup, no key skips. At first I thought I'd miss it, but I actually don't. The large screen is perfect for my 8 sausages, and 2 pork loins.

Thread moved to proper forum.

In a few weeks you won't even remember that keyboard, in a few months the thought of one will disgust you.

I hope this is true, going to keep my epic for games. My keyboard was used a great deal on emulators.

Parents got me a kindle fire...should i open it now or wait until christmas?

So yeah, they got me a kindle fire and said i could have it now, but i figured it's suck to not get anything else besides a Touchpad Should I open it and start rooting or what?
woops, **OFFTOPIC**
I would take it back and buy a refurb touch pad for $99

I'm praying that they'll get ICS working on it by christmas. They're already about 3/4 of the way there, so yay!
Return it and get a Nook Tablet.
Then get a bag of popcorn and a pop and watch the deving that goes on with it. Also hope you don't have seizures from so much flashing.

Ignore the people telling you to return it, the fire is an amazing little tablet. And seriously, be grateful you have someone in your life willing to spend $200 on you, that is a lot of money and you are very lucky. And definitely open it, are you crazy lol.

I know...I'm extremely grateful that I have parents willing/able to spend that kind of money on me.
And so I heard, It'll be even more amazing with vanilla or ICS. It would be so sexy with ICS.

Nexus S ICS envy..

Oh my epic has been so jealous. The other day I got a nexus s 4g for my gf and put ics on it. Man I cant stop using her phone and she does not understand what she has in her hand. Using this makes you see how much touchwiz sucks and there is no need for it anymore.
If Google was not whoring itself to anybody and had standards we would probably all have this already.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Agree... For this to be the best phone on Sprint and one of the best phone on Android, Im surprised we dont have it yet.
I wonder if there will ever be a day when all high end android devices get updated at the same time.
I guess thats what the Nexus brand is for though...

The worst part is Google has the nexus but by the time we get if we do it will be September. What's even the point of making ics look the way it does if nobody will see it. When apple has an is update the world knows. Google I would say either does not care or handles it in the worst way.
Average consumer will use android and because of all the crap that the carrier and handset makers do they leave with a bad impression. Its just sad its like Google is its on worst enemy.

You're really surprised the E4GT doesn't have ICS yet? Do you know how long it took gingerbread to get to the original Epic?

I was trolling through their forums and they are waiting for the OTA for ET4G so they can have ICS with Touchwiz.

Until aosp roms support 4g I can't use them. The 3g in my area just does not cut it.
To op, there are ics themed launchers in the market. The source was released, so in a few weeks expect to see a ton of launchers based on the actual code.

Alright, so I'm just wondering if anyone else on the epic 4g has this problem? More specifically I'm using the paid version, and I'm on cm9 beta 3. I saw a recent bugs list and I didn't see this problem on there.

I love it lol. Like spec wise, many said it's not that big of an improvement. But the resolution and just the feel of the phone is just so sexy. Everything is smoother that's for sure. And i got lucky, it was only an $80 difference for me.
I'm not sure if this is just me, but i feel like the internet latency is much better. It feels like it connects quicker because the s2 has those occasional hangs.

Exactly my thoughts! I was skeptical took me like a month to get it. But the resolution alone was enough to make me happy. Have my dpi set at 200 and loving it. Only thing I miss from my s2 was how stable development was. Plus the 27 hour battery with 4 hour screen on time. But I will be keeping my s3 for a very long time

iSheep have different mentality. At least where I work... "But... wait... how... Wait a minute, I can jailbreak and do the same, just watch me"
I am not holding my breath.
I work at JCPenney's and with former apple bigwig now running the show here, its amazing how many problems I encounter daily with CR-apple devices...
I just want to pull Ron Johnson aside and tell him to invest in XDA Devs to manage competent android devices... been waiting months for any new app, and the ones we do have have are in serious need of updating(months overdue)... to think how fast devs get things accomplished for practically nothing on XDA, while apple devs under contract with JCP take months to get anything done is a travesty

First, be sure to have both apps opened. Then, on one of the apps touch on the typing area, to bring up the keyboard. Write at least one letter, and it should be able to float around. I tried to make it float without writing a single letter and it won't. Maybe it's just me, but it worked as described. :thumbup:

I'm assuming your phone is rooted. If so can you upload the keyboard apk? If not I'll just download a stock rom.

I wouldn't be surprised if a jailbroken iPhone could do that. And it'd be worth more in 2 years - and it'd still be getting software updates too, which I'm almost positive our Note 2s won't be getting in more than a year. >>
However, one thing the Note 2 can do that the iPhone will never be able to do is use a stylus like the s-pen. Sure, you can use a stylus, but it's like drawing with preschool crayons.
Just thought I'd be the voice of reason here lol

I don't have a note 2. I have an iPod touch and an Atrix 4G.
Apps on the iPhone can't resize. There is no framework for it. Even if it were possible the screen is too small.
Also I haven't seen any alternative keyboards.
The iPhone has a solid, simple, smart experience, however it does not have the potential of Android. An iPhone looks nicer, works seamlessly but isn't as capable as an Android phone.
