Just using the messaging program that came with the phone. I downloaded hand cent but am a little wary of a free SMS program. Don't know why.
Do you have jellybean? Makes me want to never touch gosms again. Especially now that I have built in emoji
Were you getting lag prior to switching to swift key? You can download the jellybean keyboard found on aosp phones
I compared goSMS side-by-side on 2 GS3's (the other running stock). goSMS is SLOW. Sad I used for so long.
I just got rid of GO SMS...its so annoying during group text messaging. So I opted for no group text messaging by sticking to the stock app. That's the only issue I have with the S3...the text messaging sucks compared to the iPhone.
I posted a pic of my group texting in the other iphone thread, was that not evidence it works on the S3? Or am I totally missing what you mean?
I love GOSMS, but people who would text me from an ATT iPhone would not always come through...so I uninstalled it a few days ago and am running the stock on HTC Sensation.. I miss GOSMS already...
I never saw it...let me try to find it. EDIT: Yes, you can send out texts to multiple people...but you cant engage in a group conversation. For instance, if one of your friends sends out a text to 5 people with you included...and you try to respond, your text will only be sent out to the sender, not to everyone in the group. For example, if a friend sends out a text, "Lunch at 1?" to 5 of us...and I respond with "Lets go grab sushi"...nobody will see that text but the friend that originally sent out the message. That defeats the whole purpose of group texting.
Ah, I see. Yeah, I use Google+ Messenger for that myself and doesn't use texts. So yeah, I misunderstood ya haha.
Very nice. If the 920 doesn't go to Verizon, then they'll at least have this solid phone to go to. And it has a microUSB port! I'm still leaning towards the 920, but I will go in to a store and actualy use the 920, Ativ S, and 8X before I make my final decision.
So I've been looking far and wide for a data centric cell phone plan with unlimited texting and limited minutes, and I think I found one. T-Mobile has a $30 a month plan (no contract) that has 100 minutes, unlimited text, and unlimited data (5GB until throttling kicks in). I'm definitely thinking about pairing this with a Nexus 4 and buying a Samsung Chromebook that I can tether it too. ($15 bucks a month) My only reservation is T-Mobile's data coverage. If it isn't trustworthy, or fast enough, I think I'd rather go with Verizon and sign a contract. Even though the monthly bill would jump from $50 a month to $120 a month, it would fit my needs perfectly. I would have to choose between phones like the iPhone 5 or Motorola MAXX, though. Google's Nexus isn't really worth it on Verizon, so I hear?
I got an unlocked Nexus and use that T-Mobile $30/month plan. Coverage and data speed seem pretty good to me. According to this map: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2405611,00.asp The speeds are competitive with Verizon. Though I've never used Verizon's LTE network.
LTE is not a dealbreaker for me in terms of the Nexus 4, obviously. But I can imagine it would make browsing on a tethered laptop amazing. I got snookered into signing a 2 year contract with Sprint for a shiny free Galaxy S2, and I've regretted it ever since. "Unlimited" data doesn't mean jack if there is no signal, which is frequently the case where I live and work. If T-Mobile can give me a consistent, reasonable connection, I will be absolutely sold. Although I suppose if the signal sucks I can always sell the Nexus 4 and jump to Verizon, since I won't be under contract.
I thought I read on the official release that the T-Mobile Nexus 4 does support HSPA-42. This works for unlocked phones on the T Mobile network as well.
