A few days ago I had updates for both Light Flow and Verizon Messages+. Light Flow still works for the other functions I have it set up for, red flashing light for charging the battery and green light for fully charged. But it's stopped working for Messages+ when I get text messages. Something...

I have noticed that when I am shooting a video clip say at a concert, that when recording first starts the audio is fine. But when I start to zoom in the audio gets muffled and distorted. I'm using the screen to zoom in and out with and not the buttons on the back. Also I hold the phone on the...

Last night I pulled the pictures and videos off of my phone over to my PC. But when I went to view them some of them were upside down. Not everything was upside down but about half of them were. I saw in one of the previous threads where it was suggested that you need to click on "import"...

I've been wondering if other manufacturers are having problems with updates or is this a Samsung issue only? In other words is this 4.3 update an update to Android in general regardless of the manufacturer, LG, Motorola, HTC, etc.? The reason I'm asking is that when I get ready for another...

I got an update notification on my S3 this morning. Would this be the update to 4.3 that has caused a lot of problems? Because I've looked all over Verizon's website and can't find any information on what this update is. Also while I did have the option to defer it will only let me defer to a...

There are certain pictures in text messages that I can save and certain ones I can't. The ones that come in messages labeled as MMS I can't save. But the ones that come like they are part of a slideshow, even though there is only one picture, I can save to my gallery. The MMS pictures only have...

Everytime I check my battery stats Google Services is by far the biggest user. It's always around 50%. I also don't know if that is why it takes a long time to charge the battery at night. Last night from 70% it took over three hours to charge.

After the recent disaster of the firmware update that caused all of the problems, I don't want the phone automatically asking me to do an update. I want to stay on the good VBM1 version. Am I going to have to turn off automatic updates to get it to stop so I don't have to keep deferring 5 days...

I've been having trouble with my text message tone for several days now. I wanted to use the same tone I had with my previous phone which is from zedge. For the first couple of weeks it worked fine. Then I heard there was an app available to disable that stupid default ascending ring that the...

It seems like the newer generations of phones have alarms and notification sounds that have gotten much quieter over the years. This new S3 didn't come with anything that can wake me up in the morning. Chimes and gentle melodies just won't cut it. I did find some alarms on the Verizon store...

For the last few weeks, when I either receive or make a call, the phone will not go into it's call mode. What I mean by that is whenever you're on a call and the phone is up to your ear. The screen will go dark but whenever you pull it away from your ear to make a selection or anything, the...

I'm not very technical so I'm not sure if this phone has been updated since I bought it back last June. It has some issues. Some that only appear rarely like sudden battery loss. This has happened three times where the phone will go from fully charged to no battery left within a couple of hours...

About a week ago an error message showed up on the pull down screen saying that a text message did not send and to tap to see the message. When I did that it said there was no text message to view. Now I get the same error message almost every time I unlock the phone. How do you get rid of...

Put my phone on the charger and then fell asleep for about 90 minutes. Once I woke up I went to get the phone and the green light was not on indicating a full charge and the phone would not wake up. I can pull the battery and reinstall it but it still doesn't wake up until pushing the top...

I've looked everywhere I can think of and I can't turn off the auto correct for texts. I was trying to type in the name "Zeera" and it kept making it "Seers". How do you stop this so you can type words and names however you want to?
