Awesome! Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xxmelissaxx:
Yes I love that feature :D I THINK you can also mute calls by covering your palm over the screen (If I'm remembering correctly lol, pretty sure I tried it) I think it mutes most sound not just music.. Thought you might like that :D

In the contacts app, swipe left on a contact to call them, swipe right to send a text
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] limeaid:
When viewing videos using the stock video player, you can lock the touchscreen by pressing the power button so that the video does not get interrupted by inadvertent touches. This is especially useful if you are using your phone to entertain your baby or toddler.

Also works with mx player though haven't tried it with other players
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ricky babalu:
Do not know if it has been mentioned already, but you can also bring the phone up to your ear and it will call that contact.

on my Sprint SGS3, I'm not able to set live wallpaper for the lock screen... when I go to change it, I select lock screen only to change, it asks whether I want to select wallpaper or use the gallery... under wallpaper it just shows me the stock STATIC wallpapers, and gallery of course doesn't show live wallpapers ever... is there something else I need to do? Or, is that only when using TouchWiz? (I'm using Go Launcher Ex).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] moonfire711:
I accidentally found that with the tw launcher, if you are in the apps drawer, and you pinch the screen, you will see all pages of your apps and can quickly choose the one you want.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zombieplanalpha:
on verizon model you have to go to wallpapers and select lock screen and home screen to set LWP for lock screen, you cant select LWP for just the lock screen, and it cant be different than the home screen so you only get this option when selecting a setting for both.

---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------

this was covered earlier i believe, you can also open app drawer and hit menu and then edit you can rearrange apps and add folders inside app drawer to organize similar or often unused (bloatware) apps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ubigred:
Yes works wonders. You can even resize the video!! I'm loving the phone ^_^
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fzammetti:
Ah yes, works the same on Sprint, have to set it for both, then you get the LW option :( Oh well, that's depressing, but at least we know it's consistent and doesn't matter what launcher you use. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] moonfire711:
I would like to know where it talks about pinching the screen to view all pages of your apps drawer anywhere in this thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zombieplanalpha:
Foot in mouth... It wasn't. Wrong thread I knew I remembered reading it somewhere. Sorry and good find:D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] augustorm:
Haven't noticed this being addressed but regarding S-Beam it appears that both phones are required to utilize the same app that is involved with the file being transferred. For example, I use "quickpic" as the default image viewer and when I used s-beam to test a pic transfer, the phones connected however my buddy's phone went to the play store and more specifically went to the "quickpic" downlad page. Obviously my buddy's phone required him to dl the app in order to finish the transfer. I then opened the same file via "gallery" and reinitiated the transfer. This time the phones connected and transferred the file without a hitch.

Peace
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] moonfire711:
Just making sure I hadn't lost my mind. :silly:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xbiker321:
I had to turn this feature off because the phone would be in my pocket (screen facing leg) The home button would be pressed on accident and the heat from my leg would simulate the swipe when I would walk. Took so many pictures of the lock screen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jbluna:
Are you tired of (whining about) the phone being made of plastic (pff, it's not like, oh I dont know, every other phone's made of plastic or anything) ?!?

then do I have a tip for you,

suck it up...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RaymondPJR:
Hello, moon. You were there when I bought my Vibe and I'm glad to see you are still around. I'm still numb after purchase, couldn't hold out any longer and just went out and bought the phone. Awsome so far, but so many tweaks and features.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] moonfire711:
Yeah, the vibrant was my first smart phone. I did a lot of reading about the whole android scene back then and was pretty into xda back then. I got busy with work, and a lot of the good roms stopped coming for the vibrant and well, I kinda got tired of flashing a rom over and over that was full of lag or bugs.

This phone is way better and I'm loving it. Here's a few screen shots. I remember you from the vibrant days as well. Let me know if I can assist you at all in your attempts to board ship with the best phone out there. PM me with any questions you have that you can't find answers to. See ya around. Oh, and I bought this baby the day it hit the shelves, so I've had some time to do some learning.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ironlood:
not sure if it's been pointed out yet or not but the lock screen shortcuts can be edited on the swipe lock screen

go to settings/security/lock screen options/shortcuts

click the word shortcuts and not the toggle it will bring up the 4 shortcuts and your allowed to change which app is accessed or what order there displayed in
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Why hasn't this been made a sticky yet????????????????
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sniper_5:
some HTC, and most MOTO phones are aluminium, with only some plastic here and there such as the buttons. Just an FYI, since the plastic of the SGS3 was an initial concern of mine as well.

Now: back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Sent from my Droid X until I get my SGS3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Verizon GSIII user here, this is a stock ICS feature that should work regardless of carrier. You can pinch to zoom in/out within the Calendar app to quickly go from year view to month view to week view to day view and vice versa.

Edit: In Settings/Data Usage, if you press the menu button then a new menu pops up to select:

1) data roaming

2) restrict background data

3) data usage by wifi
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eyecon82:
Thanks man, i updated the OP with that info crediting you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] moonfire711:
The calendar trick is a nice one. Thanks.

I don't think it's in the OP yet though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ironlood:
thank you and wanted to apologize for anyone who I may have left out
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RaymondPJR:
I see the weather Icon in you drop down. I was looking for that! I have ICS on my old vibrant and that's one of my favorite features. I've looked but can't find that setting.

I dropped my phone earlier today, well now yesterday just twenty hours after purchase and cracked the screen. Was on my way to buy a cover at the time. Now I have to deal with T-Mob and Asurion for my insurance replacement. Savings is out the door as the deductible is $130.00. They've already annoyed me, but maybe tomorrow it will go better without too much BS. The bezel on this baby is plastic and the sides are as slick as the back cover. Only fell 2 1/2 feet! Back cover even popped off! Did get my cover although it is also too slick for my tastes, but I'll replace it after I take my time to shop for something better.:fingers-crossed:

You were right to be concerned, just as I was. Damned thing just slipped for no reason....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jbluna:
It actually took me a while to figure this out but you have to actually scroll up from the menu bar in the browser to get the other settings. For the longest time I though those first 8 were the only ones :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] OTAw:
Agreed.

Thanks for the tips everyone. I'm reading through this thread periodically, bit-by-bit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ironlood:
haven't figured out what this is or what it does but in the stock music player there is a button that looks like a chess board and arrows.

my best guess is that it's a way to rate your music by emotion on a grid
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] El Nivek:
Actually, you just slide your finger in the direction of the emotion you're feeling and the app picks a song for you! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] og.blaah:
Just noticed this....when you are playing a video, you can longpress the timebar (i think thats what its called) and slightly roll your finger left or right, it will ff or rewind 1 second at a time.

Good for editing, and taking screenshots.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cue_32:
Chrome browser specific - when you have multiple tabs, as long as you start from the outside edge of the screen, swiping from either direction switches the active tab.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ironlood:
I think it's funny cause when I swiped straight across the middle from passionate to joyful it started playing Cannibal Corpse Intestinal Crank
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davidstech11:
Does anyone know how I could get the multitask button WITHOUT using a different launcher? I know when I use Nova I have it. But being that I never used TouchWiz I am going to rock it for a while. Its not that bad (Still stock).

I looked and so far have not seen anything I could download to add it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ironlood:
what do you mean be multi task button... if you mean the screen that has all the active applications that you can hop in and out of you would long press the home button
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jgalan14:
This app but ain't free :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davidstech11:
lol. I know about the Home button. I guess you never know though. But I am referring to a touch screen button that brings all the background apps up. Or at least another button besides Home. I would like a touch screen button since it would allow less wear and tear on my Home button.

Same with waking my devise up from sleep. Widgetlocker Lockscreen failed to 'wake' the phone from sleep with the volume button. A bunch of the other apps like tap tap failed for me too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ironlood:
well if that's the case there are a few launchers that have the on screen nav buttons
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tectonny:
If we update the Razr to the ICS is no longer poissivem back to version 2.3.5?

Have a topic dedicated to ROM for Razr?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] aktrazer:
Yes, this is 100% true. There are ways to go back, which can be found scattered throughout this forum. I have not personally tested any of them.

From my understanding, the ICS .211 changed the signed version number on the bootloader, preventing you from going back.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tectonny:
But it left an official version od ICS for the Razr?

But it left an official version od ICS for the Razr? For in my country (Brazil) does not.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] aktrazer:
I'm not sure I understand your question. Does Brazil have it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tectonny:
Here in Brazil has not.

Here in Brazil has not.

But I wonder if it has been officially released elsewhere.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aletheus:
Just curious, and figured since we've obviously been deemed a niche community by Samsu--err, I mean -- the Market, we might as well get to know each other.

I had a few questions that might shed some light on topics that samsung has been less than forth-coming on. For example, sales; how many of theses are there out there? first amoled tablet; was super amoled+ display the primary driver for your purchase?

Anyway, two questions to start:

What did you get your tablet for?

What are the sales like in your region?

I'll answer first:

1). I'm an artist, and have done digital work using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Corel Painter with a wacom stylus for about a decade. I got real excited getting my first laptop because I thought it would liberate me from working inside all the time...BOY was a wrong. There was no way I could work out in daylight with any real access to a color palette. The screen was just too dim. I've waited on buying a tablet for the past three years just because I knew there would be one closer to perfect available if I just held out...--and here I am, happy as a lark with my gTab7.7 and I had no idea it would open up huge metaphysical problems in contemporary color theory!!! --feel free to ask me more about that one, I'm in WAY over my head. I'm thinking Jeans Jacque Rousseau, Benedict Spinoza, Leonardo DanVinci, David Hume and Aristotle.

Oh, and so I use this thing as a sketchpad. I'll post some for interested parties, but the forum only allows jpgs (ACK!!), so I'll up a zip file of pngs of the work I've done on this device with Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, Infinite Painter, and Adobe Photoshop Touch.

I also use this as my phone, e-reader, music device and for watching movies (duh!). Oh, and SNESOID ROCKS!!! the color from those old 16-bit games..;;

2). I've seen noone else with the gTab7.7, in the Dallas/Ft Worth area in Texas, though when I briefly had the LTE version I had to call three different stores before I found one that had them in stock. I returned it because here (in the US), the device is USD$750 off contract, and $550 with a 2yr service agreement. It was just too much, but I fell in love with it! In May, I bought a "used--in mint condition", the importer said it was a demo model, but when I got it, it had SU still installed, but didn't have root. OBVIOUSLY not a demo model.--- thanks to this forum, I returned it to stock and its running beautifully.

Anyway, I see about 100 people a day through work or more, and they all have ipads, or transformers. Not a single other person with this device.

What are sales like in the rest of the world? Is there any country where this device is more popular?

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Uses:

Phone, gps, browser, tv ( now that the Euro Championships are on i watch them via Watch ESPN app ), larger viewfinder for my Nikon DSLR with Mophoto (beats the small lcd screen on the back of the camera :D) and e-reader.

I am in NJ and i dont know of anyone that has this tab (internanional 3g+wifi).

Would love to see your work,i am not a heavy photographer but i am thinking of getting Photoshop Touch but at the same what is holding me back is the lack of a usefull stylus (ala s-pen from the G Note). Amtel has a Maxstylus Mxst100 that is supposed to work with our tab, but no release date or price.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aletheus:
I keep tearing rubber styli. I've gone through 2, and spent maybe 100-200 hours drawing and sketching so far? I'm switching to the iFaraday for now. Its a capacitive stylus made out of fabric, so its washable, and it shouldn't drag across a clean surface. The rubber stylus requires a layer of fingerprints to NOT drag and stutter. VERY annoying when you're trying to cross-hatch with a 3px brush and you have to account for wobble and imprecision already... It was the screen real estate i preferred ultimately over the gNote, but boy was it a tough decision. I SO wanted the wacom digitizer to be in the gTab7.7... Do i wish I'd gotten the gNote? Sometimes. But for now, the larger viewing and operating surface was the deciding factor for me. But all three apps, Sketchbook Pro, Infinite Painter, and Photoshop Touch SUPPORT pressure sensitivity...

Here is a zip with some of what i've been doing:

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Zenin:
got the tablet for watching tv shows/movies on the 40min commute to work, also reading comics/manga and ebooks. games are pretty good too but i already have 3ds and vita.

i live in london and i have seen no one else with it or no one i have shown the tablet to has even heard of it. Its seriously a ipad-fest here, and i want to strangle those who say "oh...so its like a small ipad!":eek:

also its really expensive at the local shops and online in the uk, so i got mine for LOADS cheaper from a hong kong seller on ebay.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] FateZero:
Much like adinis78 I use this as a large Screen for my Photography. I also use this as my main phone now (With a Bluetooth) and for playing games or web use.

This tablet is also a great E-book reader.

I live in the San Antonio, TX area and I only know one other person with this tablet. They have the wifi model and I am using the wifi/3g Import.

We have a lot of Ipad users here, but I have seen some Acer and Asus android users as well.

On a side note, I am trying to build a rom for this device in Linux. I am no Dev but I will give it my best shot and see if I can make something useful
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aletheus:
Okay so, so far Texas has the highest device penetration density on the planet.... and HK wholesalers bought up a bunch from the manufacturer and is now undercutting local markets to have them imported directly from Hong Kong...

Now I am tempted to buy a batch if 10 and see what's up on ebay.....

Now a question for you photographers: HDRi viewing is INCREDIBLE due to sAMOLED contrast ratio and expanded 30% larger color gamut. Is an rgb value of 255/255/255 my whitepoint at 250 nits and screen mode set on "dynamic" and at 100% brightness? Does anyone have a calubration device or run across a sAMOLED+ icc profile?

as OP I wanna stay as OT as possible, but at the same time, I'm now getting what I was hoping for: professional people who bought these devices to check their productivity potential.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] lsherif:
I use this beauty as a phone through BT, using it intensively for mails with its form factor, is an ideal device for me as a Sales Manager.

I live in Cairo, Egypt and this device is very popular here & getting an increasingly market share, have it for around 4 months now and have seen around 10-12 users having this tab, it is sold for around 550$ for the GT 6800 .
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] zsolti256:
I use it to study, and do tests with vce mobile.

Also browse web! Using it as my primary phone till i get an infuse again!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] acid123:
1, Comic book reader,

2, Web, online streams,

3, Apps & games

Just love how the colours pop out when reading comics,

Only downside I get is 2 heads on my shoulders when I'm reading a comic on the tube...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aletheus:
Check ot some of the stuff i'm working on above--just a link to png files instead of posting a jpg inline on here, they always look horrible.. they're supposed to be viewed on our screens, full brightness in dynamic color mode.

and do you know anybody else in your area who owns one?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] boelze:
In order of priority:

1. Surfing the web and yotubing

2. Watching TV (I use pay-tv on it)

3. Using photoshop touch and viewing/showing off pictures

4. Games and fun apps

I live in vienna and never saw another 7.7 on the streets. Although it's easily available here and not too expensive.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
Making and editing pr0n.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gilbot:
Its my main mobile media device.

Use it in the car to play/stream tunes, Navigation and Maps

Use it to listen to listen to music at work, web browse on my lunch.

I would consider it for phone use as well if it was possible and i woulda dumped my galaxy nexus eventually but damn Verizon nerfed phone capabilities :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] boelze:
lol that post made my day :laugh:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Should have gotten the international version :D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gilbot:
No way!

Verizon LTE blows At&t and T-mo speeds away and I have unlimited LTE through vzw. Not worth it. I have the ability to swap my sim from my Galaxy Nexus to the Tab if i really wanted to though I typically just tether the Tab via my Nexus.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] marwanxx:
Movies, video clips, mp3, call, sms, mms, video call, XDA-ing, share my works to my clients, web browsing, download ROM and Kernel customization, chat and facebook. :-)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Was saying because uou said you would consider the tab as your phone :D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] 九千.:
For work I do fengshui with it. Of course I can't use its compass for fengshui calibration, but it can assist me in calculating fengshui and life spreads for fengshui design and fortune-telling. Also it helps keeping fengshui profiles and records for my easy reference.

It is lighter and more useful than a notebook for my work.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Masterface7:
I'm boring and i just use it for watching tv shows/movies and reading books/manga. I guess i read a magazine on it from time to time. Engadget distro works well on it.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] utucuro:
My use cases:

It is my only phone, used with either the urbanears plattan wired headset or with the jawbone era, as the situation requires

I use it as a viewfinder with MoPhotos for my DSLR, the screen is great for this, but MoPhotos desperately needs an update to allow for writing to /sdcard/extStorages/SdCard (I've rooted and fixed the write permission on the SD card)

Used for post-processing of photos for some use cases (aviary, painteresque, photo mate and similar)

Reading books and comics via kobo and the comixology app

Music with aforementioned plattans

Basically, it is my information hub with duetoday, evernote, SLR (for light rigging), mindmapping and other similar software...

I do my online banking almost exclusively with it...

Traffic control

Only occasionally: movies

Blog publishing, remote desktop etc. with a bluetooth keyboard (though swype is great, even used multilingually as I do)

Last, though not least, gaming - if I don't have the mental oomph for more useful stuff, I clear my mind with games...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aletheus:
And what about market penetration? Nobody so far has mentioned seeing anybody elae with one. Is samsung really just getting ready for the gTab 7.7 super+? That'll be ++ungood.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
Unfortunately my Tab is only wifi but it doesn't leave the house so that is not an issue, plus I use my phone to make a hotspot and can use that, it is counterproductive some may say.

I use my tab to browse websites, watch VOD here in Poland, mostly tv shows, it is my main calender. youtube videos sometimes, browsing forums, news and some games, but I rarely game. I did use it back home as my main device instead of my massive laptop which I did not want to lug around and it did a rather good job. Skype and web. Finally ebooks and various documents.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rEVOLVE:
I'm in Northern California but I haven't yet run across anyone else with it.

Along with general stuff you use a tablet for, my main use is for remote I.T. support of our users and servers - that's how i got my company to pay for it along w/ the monthly data. Also mounts on my car dashboard for music, navigation, and Torque app.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] fastest:
I'm a londoner and fellow 7.7 owner. Haven't seen anyone with one but everyone i show it to is interested in buying one. Amoled just blows everyone away.

The form factor is perfect for me. small enough to be portable and large enough to enjoy websites.

I'm a freelance 3d artist and use my device to show off my portfolio. My images look really punchy with the screen.

Also it is my main diary/pda device to organise my life.
