TouchPal Keyboard
I recently purchased the Samsung ZRE Unico LTE Z930L on the Straught Talk plan and am very happy with this phone. It has a nice battery run time, comes with an 8 GB micro SD card installed in it, and very fast screen swipe response. However I do not like the default keyboard they used with this phone. This keyboard software is called TouchPal keyboard. Although it in its self is o.k., I did not like the fact that when typing it has touch vibration which cannot be turned off. This is something I do not like or need and it uses extra resources from the battery. Especially if you text a lot. TouchPal keyboard has a later version with this same name but with the "X" suffix and this version allows one to adjust or turn off touch vibration. I tried to down load this version onto my new phone and was surprised by the pop up saying my phone was not compatible with this version. SO...I ended up down loading a google playstore keyboard software by GO Keyboard, who offer several cool keyboard skins and wall papers. Once I did that and forced stop on the default TouchPal software my new ZTE Unico LTE phone is great. For 179 dollars and some change this phone is really square business and I think its worthy of praise. Although the battery has not yet ran out on me yet, I have looked of an extended run time version for it and have not found one yet. I'm sure however there will be one out soon. Enjoy
