I have an S3 on ATT. My software is 4.1.2. My battery has always lasted from early in the morning to about 9:30 pm at night - barring any special circumstances. However, for the last week, my battery has had to be changed (swapped for a full battery that I carry with me) at about lunch...

Sorry - this was a duplicate. Please see below. Other post with same title. Thanks.

I'm having big problems trying to take photos when the lighting isn't just right. A typical situation is where the subject is in front of a lighter background but there isn't much light on her face. Ordinarily I could use the flash to light up a face. I can set the flash to go off, take the...

I am going to upgrade a Tab 2 to 4.2.2. From reading the forums here, it sounds like you need to do a factory reset along with the upgrade. Do you do the reset and then do the upgrade? What is the fastest way to back up your apps and app settings? I don't need game history, but would like...

Is it possible to save the system ringtones that came on the phone to use with another phone later on? I can't find the ringtone files. I imagine that they have them hidden someplace. Would root access give me access to them?

I just had to reinstall all of the software on my Windows 8 computer. Kies did not go well. The Kies Mini installation file said was for the TMobile GS3. I couldn't find one for the att version so I tried Kies. That installation was problematic and the application did not work. I tried...

Has anyone gotten the ATT update to 4.1.2 yet? Seems like it's been awhile since they said it was coming and I haven't seen it yet.

My Galaxy GS3 is about 7 months old. The flash has just stopped working properly. When I set it to flash, I can watch and see that the flash does indeed go off. However, it's either too weak or the timing is off, because the photos are very dark as though there is no flash at all. I frequently...

I just noticed that the calendar on my GS3 (JB) is not syncing with my Google calendar. It always used to. My Google calendar IS syncing between my Samsung Galaxy Tablet (ICS) and my desktop. If I go to my phone settings and accounts, there is a little warning symbol on the sync symbol next...

I'm Southern California on ATT. My phone just updated to JB via wifi. I didn't have wifi turned on when I checked for updates. It said there was an update, but not to leave the wifi area. Thinking it was a lesser update, I turned on wifi and continued. It turned out to be 4.1.1. The update...

Oh, dear. Just this morning, my screen seems to be going. It's flickering and lines are going across and sometimes the pixels move rapidly side to side for a second or two. I rebooted, but it appears to be getting worse. Has anyone seen this before? It's 15 months old and I've never had a bit of...

Before I update, should I backup apps or home screens, etc. I seem to recall that, unless you are doing a whole number update (like 3.xxx to 4.xxx), you don't have to reinstall all of your apps and settings. They should all remain. I just got the OTA software update notice. I just need to know...

Does anyone know if the Samsung $50 price reduction is only going to last until Nov. 10th, like some sites say. Or, do you think it will be permanent? I am going to get two of them for Christmas presents. I'm trying to decide if I should hurry and get them now, or if I should wait.

In order to protect my family, I'd like to disable geotagging on any photos or videos that I take with my GS 3. I have the ATT version with ICS. I've read instructions that said you can do it by going to the settings menu in the camera app. I don't have a setting that disables geotags in the...

Has anyone been able to use Airdroid to manage the files on your External SD card? I'd like to use AirDroid's files icon to organize files on my external SD card, but it doesn't see to see them there. It only shows the "SD Card", not the "extSDCard".

I have a problem entering numbers on the keypad while on a voice call. You all know how, when on a call, the screen turns off when the phone is next to your face, but turns back on again when you take it away from your face. Sometimes, you are asked to enter numbers when on a call. Maybe they...

I received an .mov video today from my brother. It was most likely taken with his iPhone. Before, I was always able to play the .mov files with Mobo Player downloaded from the Play Store. Since the upgrade, it's not working, though. I only get the sound and a black screen. I can play the same...

Is anyone else having problems with their WIFI after the ICS update? My tab seems to be losing the connection and is loading Web pages really slowly. My computer using the same WIFI isn't having any problems - just the Tab. I've found that if I turn off the WIFI, and then turn it back on again...

I've been testing a few phone finder type apps on my S3, but can't find anything that works. If you text certain words, they are supposed to either start the phone ringing or send you back the phone's GPS location. I've tried "Find My Phone" and "Where's My Droid." Neither works with text...

Has anyone purchased the S3 from Costco? It looks like you can only get it online-not in the store. I'll be updating mt ATT Android smartphone and want to keep my unlimited data plan. It doesn't offer that option online. You have to choose a new data plan. I was just wondering what others had...

I'm just about ready to upgrade from my Infuse. There are a few questions I have about the S3 before I get it, though, 1. How well does the GPS work? That feature does not work real well on my Infuse and I'm hoping for better GPS on my next phone. 2. The reviews all say that even at...

I'm possibly going to buy this tab in the next few weeks. Does anyone know of any good prices or places to purchase it? Thanks.

I now have a Samsung Infuse and will be upgrading soon. The HTC One X sounds like a great phone except for the non-removable battery issue. With my Infuse, I just carry an extra charged battery with me. If I've had heavy usage, it only takes a few seconds to remove the back cover and swap the...

I have an Infuse now which I really like. The GPS has not been a strong point, though, and I'm hoping that feature will work better with the s3. Have you all had a chance to test it, yet, and how is it doing?

I now have an Android smart phone with an unlimited data plan. Soon, I'll be eligible for un upgrade phone with a new contract. I'd like to order from Costco online, (They don't have the Skyrocket in the store.) Is it possible to order the Skyrocket online and stll keep my existing unlimited...
