My last S3 received the kitkat update a few week ago. I absolutely hated it. Especially the GPS function. Every time I turned the GPS on it would 1.) Automatically Switch it over to high accuracy, which consumes more battery and then I had to manually switch it back to wifi and towers or just...

That nobody has been able to figure out how to unlock the bootloader on the S3 with Android 4.3. I assume this must be real difficult and that someone somewhere (at samsung?) has the key to unlock it?

How do erase the log where all of the people I have sent e-mail to or received e-mail from is stored? How do I prevent the phone from storing e-mail addresses from everyone I respond or reply to? This is rather annoying. I'm using the stock e-mail program built into the S3 and these would be...

When you launch google navigation it brings you to this screen. Is there a shortcut to launch the GPS mode only like when you pick the map icon in the upper right corner of this screen?

My phone is rooted and I have the stock ROM. Assuming that the DX2 will receive the 2.3.5 update at some point...will I have to SBF the phone back to stock before accepting the OTA update when and if it comes out?

Since rooting, I've removed all of the verizon bloatware APK files from system/app and put them on my SD card. I want to remove social networking but I don't know which APK is the correct file. I removed SocialMessaging.apk and SocialShare.apk but those weren't the correct ones. Anyone know...
