music player > equalizer (left most option)

for those who don't usually select any type like rock because it will mess with their dance music and vice versa, thus always opts for the normal.

there is an option above normal that is partly hidden because it doesn't scroll up.

the "auto" does a very good job for all types of songs.

How to multi-task while playing a youtube video in background?
[Galaxy S III General] AndyCr15:
My Album takes around 15 seconds to open, sticks on a black screen for ages. I think this is because it is checking my (hundreds) of Picasa albums. Which bit in accounts should be unticked, as I have unticked 'Sync Picasa Web Albums' and 'Sync Google Photos' already, but no difference.

swipe the side of your palm, the pinky side, along the entire screen, either left or right, and it takes a screenshot.
[Galaxy S III General] iCEION:
I got the exact same problem >15 seconds even.. It's very annoying!!! I actually use several gallery programs, but before when I had the SGS2 I always reverted to the build in gallery if I wanted the albums to show up fast, now on the SGS3 the gallery is extremely slow!
[Galaxy S III General] jovu55:
I had the same issue with my SGS2 when I stored my photos that I took onto my SDCard. The SD card was a class 4. Perhaps the link may be that the SD cards may be stalling the gallery opening. Just a guess though.
[Galaxy S III General] Electricview:
thank you GOD someone else is having the same problem as me... EVERY single Txt message i receive that contains a picture is a 'slideshow' now and dislays like a small video.. no zoom... Irritating as hell!

Plus when i go to take a picture to attach to an outbound text message it always says "Adding to slideshow" its like its DEFAULT behavior is slideshow.... I've wondered if we could simple remove slideshow.apk but i haven't rooted or done anything like that to test if this would fix it.. Slideshow sucks bad.

---------- Post added at 04:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 AM ----------

I'd also like to add you can easily turn off the 'text message' "logs" in the call log, by entering the call log, hitting menu and then clicking 'view by' and change it to 'all calls' that should remove all the text message stuff from there (seemed annoying to me and i didnt realize this was so easy to change). so you just see your recent call activity not recent text activity as well.

sorry if this was a repeat!

It could be that, but then how does QuickPic open almost instantly?
[Galaxy S III General] kelvinyap9:
Anybody got any idea how to disable the "buttons" scrolling to the left when you pull down the notification bar? It's really annoying >_>

Also, is there a way to add widgets to the lock screen (stock one), or would I require a third party one?

[Galaxy S III General] ozcr:
To avoid the slideshow in MMS messages, try using a different messaging app like Go SMS Pro.
[Galaxy S III General] mloc33:
Use Quicpic and disable the gallery, only downside is when your in the camera and want to view a picture just taken, it`ll FC, up to you...
[Galaxy S III General] :
tip for s3, in full screen apps where the status bar is gone,if you swipe down from the top bezel then it shows the status bar and you can access notification bar...always hated the fact that status/notification bar was not available from all apps.
[Galaxy S III General] radeonxt:
thanks. that's pretty handy.

for those who are used to other os'es lock screen where the only thing you can do is unlock, on sgs3's lock screen hold power button and you can access silent mode,airplane mode,restart,power off.

:D
[Galaxy S III General] Electricview:
there's no other way?

why is such an advanced phone OS so basic in how it cant let you just disable slide show?? Or detect the difference between one picture and many pictures?

laaaame.
[Galaxy S III General] MrBobNZ:
I agree - I hate the slideshow mms thing, and really miss just being able to view the image fullscreen if it is just 1 image being sent.

Anyone know a work-around that doesn't involve using a different sms app? Other than this mms issue I much prefer the stock messaging app over the others I've tried.
[Galaxy S III General] cyrax83:
the slideshow for MMS really annoyed me too. For such a high tech phone, I was shocked that I couldn't even show a picture message in full screen. I did not find any fix for stock messages app which is unfortunate.

I also found out there emoji characters (that iPhone people use) do not show up on stock messages app, which pushed me further to move to Go SMS.

Pretty happy with Go SMS

Is there any way of setting the font size of the various apps separately instead of only setting a universal font in settings?

It's annoying, I've got Gmail with a small font, messaging with a font that's huge, and email looks like it's designed for a child its that big with no way to change it without adversely affecting something else.
[Galaxy S III General] hellaflush:
Unfortunately it is app dependent... some apps do have a font size setting however all do not... some apps however do utilize the universal font setting in the phones settings as a governor

[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
Well in theory you could find the audio file in question and replace it with something with an identical name, but you would need root to do this.
[Galaxy S III General] goughymachine:
The name of the file might be listed in the build prop. I renamed the sing I use as my alarm sound, created a fade in on it as that's how I like my alarm, and then renamed it to the file name that is used as the stick alarm clock sound. Now if I quickly set up an alarm, or use s voice to do so, it has my usual sing at its usual volume, without having to go in and edit the alarm.

Got the following question

Is there any way to put shortcut on the main screen ( for e.g. Call forwarding etc) if there is no builtin phone feature , would you recommend any app

thanks
[Galaxy S III General] codmdantes:
No one talked about the native task manager.... Is there anyway to make a shortcut on the home screen, instead of pressing the home button??
[Galaxy S III General] angler:
There is an application "Multitask Shortcut" can create a shortcut of recent application into the home screen. It works like the physical home button and minimize the chance of wearing of the physical home button. Cost less than USD1 but may save the home button.
[Galaxy S III General] codmdantes:

Tthis thread has an apk you can install to create an icon on your home screen that takes you straight to the recent apps list. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1721864

on touchwiz you can add it to your home screen from the widgets panel

on launcher pro and go launcher ex, it is listed as a shortcut not a widget.

[Galaxy S III General] disklick:

[Galaxy S III General] goughymachine:
In either 'more services' or 'samsung apps' you can download for free an app called application manager. I think it's like the task manager sort of thing which was on the s1. Maybe give it a try.

I just found this out...

I don't like any vibration on my device, I disabled every single vibration option I could find but whenever I tried to edit my homescreen (arranging the icons) there's still a haptic feedback.

So to disable this, Go to Setting -> Sound -> Vibration Intensity -> modify "Haptic FeedBack" (move the bar to the left). That's it :good:

Hi Guys,

As a new Galaxy S3 owner - and new to android, please let me ask two questions.

1. Is there a way to ditch touchwiz and replace with the stock ICS launcher? (p.s. is it just me or does the stock touchwiz feel considerably faster than Apex?)

2. I am assuming the e-mail app supplied with the Samsung S3 is not the stock ICS one.... is it Sammy's own e-mail app? Is there a way to ditch it and go for the stock ICS app...?

Many Thanks

There is any firmware release for S3 ?

Provider have replace some basic things like browser etc with some customized, app store with their own etc, not big deal but would like to have by default less useless applications in memory and to customize better.

As many people are starting to realize that HTC using the Facebook App for syncing purposes is not working out very well. Is there any way to bake in the old style Facebook for HTC sense for updating status and contacts?

I have my Facebook app set up to sync every hour and the last sync was done at 5am and now 4 1/2 hours later it still shows the last update done at 5am....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ZEDEK:
YES....this^^^!!!! I used to think Facebook for HTC SENSE was useless..now I'm missing it everyday
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] arodey:
When I was on Stock De-Odexed Facebook seemed to sync contacts and Friendstream just fine. On eLiTE it has issues. I don't know why this is the case since they both have the same base.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RegnierD:
Mine is working fine on his latest. Dunno what to say guys, sorry. Getting the old version from Sense 3.0 is probably never going to happen. Different Android versions, way different Sense versions... These two things make it nearly impossible, or hard enough that a dev would rather spend that amount of time working on their rom, not pictures syncing. Usually, different Sense/Android versions don't play well when you mix them together; the components don't even recognize each other. Sense only likes what ships in it, not previous or newer components. Did that make any sense?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbermi:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBaker:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] arodey:
Yes 6am was my last auto sync. However I have not lost the Facebook contact pictures like I was getting on eLiTE.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBaker:
I'm wondering if this is intentional. Update every 24 hours? I guess I can live with it but it just doesn't seem right. Shouldn't we be able to choose?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] arodey:
It should sync based on the interval we choose or else why let us specify?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBaker:
But really we can't specify.. I know the Facebook app let's us set a sync time but I don't think that goes hand and hand with the built in syncing the phone does.. Otherwise we should have an option to change the intervals at settings>accounts& sync>Facebook

So I finally got my phone on later the next day, but all of a sudden my phone will not charge. It's been plugged in for an hour and only goes up 3% in battery. Did something mess up on my phone that it won't charge or what? The battery dropped from 30% to 0 in 3 seconds and when it finally turns on it dies even when it is plugged into the wall and says it's charging. Any ideas?

[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Charge the battery externally...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dr.Strangelove.:
My external battery charger broke and don't want to have to buy another when I have 2 chargers already. And how would charging the battery externally help prevent it from going from 30% to 0?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Because it's not charging in the phone, as you can obviously see, the 30% to 0 basically says your battery is dead and it's not getting to charge in the device, you need to give it, say a jump start from an external power source.

Hi there

I tried to find solutions to this problem I'm having without any sucess.

My phone has started saying "the flder is open" "the folder is closed" for my touchwiz folders. The strange thing is that it isn't the talkback service because its speaking in my language and the talkback doesn't support my language.

I can't figure what app is doing this because i actually didn't acess the folders for a while...

I already tried turning on and off the talkback function and the behaviour is that first the talkback speaks then this guy speaks the same thing in my language.

The scripts is turned off like it has allways been.

I have ICS with touchwizUX.
