    Help Folders don't work

    Since 4.1.2 update, home screen folders don't seem to work. I can rename them but can't put anything into them. Am I missing something?

    S-Voice Weather

    I've been playing around with S-Voice but not finding it very good. For example, it reads my request for "Saskatoon weather" fine but then gives me the weather for Portal, North Dakota! I downloaded VLingo which I used on my old S1 and it seems to be much better. I really like VLingo's Safe...

    Keyboard Microphone

    I've selected the Samsung keyboard and checked "Voice input" but can't get the microphone icon on the keyboard. I've also checked "Google voice typing" but this doesn't do it either. Are there some other options I need to set?

    Auto-fit

    My old S1 had a nice feature where you could double tap the screen when using your browser to get a zoom with text reflow to fit the window. There is an Auto-fit setting on my new S3 but it doesn't seem to work as well. Has this been dropped or is there a browser setting I am not aware of?

    Why would they do that?

    This has been my first impression of the new S3. It is quite possible that some of my disappointment will disappear as I lean more about how to operate the new new phone. Some of the things that I could do easily on the old phone and I found very useful but can't do on the S3: 1. Transfer...

    Transfer apps S1 to S3

    Just got my new S3 and I would like to transfer my apps (especially the paid for ones) from my old S1 to the new phone. Can I use KIES to do this?

    Help Gallery Refresh

    Videos that I have taken do not immediately appear in Gallery. I have to use Video Player to see them and run them although they do eventually appear in Gallery. Is there some way to refresh Gallery?

    Help Funny thing happened on the way to the TV

    The TV Out function had been working fine but one evening when I plugged in the cable, the phone locked up and when I did a battery pull, it came up working fine except I had lost most of the shortcuts from the home pages and only the Applications icon remained in the dock. I wasn't sure how to...

    Help Recovery code

    After reading many posts reporting difficulties with the upgrade process to Froyo, I did not expect my experience to go smoothly. I first upgraded to the current version of Kies, then followed the instructions carefully. As expected, I got a "failed to upgrade firmware due to an unexpected...

    Help Froyo cursor

    I just upgraded to Froyo and noticed the new cursor that appears in the text input field in edit mode. Touching the cursor produces a pop-up that allows you easily move around and select, cut, copy, or paste text. Nice improvement!

    Help Need help diagnosing battery drain

    I am using Juice Defender to help extend battery life. The graph lines on Juice Plotter were thin and gradual and it worked well until a couple of weeks ago. Now for some reason, the graph lines take steep nose dives and are thick and green or yellow. I have not downloaded any new apps...

    Help Orange video

    I'm just starting to use the video camera in my vibrant. Overall the video quality is excellent but sometimes when I'm doing indoor shooting, the video has an orange color overlay. Occasionally this will correct itself to a nice natural color part way through the video. I was wondering if...

    Help MAC Compatibility

    I was unable to find much information regarding compatibility of the Samsung Galaxy with MAC computers. On behalf of the small number of MAC users in this forum, I made a call to Samsung tech support re: how to do the Frodo update with a MAC computer. I was told that the Galaxy phone is PC...

    Help Contact group problem

    I am having a problem using the Groups option in my Contacts app. When I try to add members, only three of my many contacts are displayed. I have tried to figure out why these three contacts are being filtered out but they do not seem to have anything particular in common. How can I get all...

    i9000 vs T959

    I thought that the i9000 and T959 variants of the Galaxy S were more or less identical. However, I have found that my i9000 Vibrant does not have a "Folder View" alternative to threaded view for Messaging like the T959 Vibrant. There also seems to be a difference in the presence of the...
