I'm using a Galaxy S3 using the AT&T stock 4.4.2 configuration. The performance overall seems sluggish. I've already gone through the usual checklist of deleting/disabling unused apps and files (except for the built-in ones as I don't have root). Would installing a custom ROM and/or rooting...

Could anyone with an S3 tell me the model number of the default wall charger that is included? I lost mine, need to buy a replacement, and am seeing several different model numbers that are listed as being compatible when I search. I'm just wanting to know what I had originally. Thanks

Within the past few months I've noticed that my battery seems to be draining significantly faster than usual, even when my phone is just sitting on my desk not doing anything. I installed better battery stats and found this: NlpWakeLock Google Play Services 48 m 32 s (2912 s) Count:2516 5.7%...

A few weeks ago, AT&T forced a new text and voicemail app onto my phone called "AT&T Messages" or something similar. Based on the information I have been reading on the Web, I suspect this app was forced on all of AT&T's android users. The app isn't so bad except for one glaring omission...

My original GS1 had 3 input options: Android keyboard Samsung keypad Swype My GS3 only has 2 by default: Samsung keyboard Swype How can I get the android keyboard back on the GS3? I liked its layout better than the Samsung keyboard.

I recently enabled the screen password lock on my GS3 and now I see a button at the bottom of my lock screen called "Emergency call". After doing some searching on the web, I've found some stories indicating that certain phones will automatically dial 911 if you press this button. Is this the...

I can't get syncing to work correctly between WMP 11 and my GS3. WMP appears to sync all the files I drop in the sync list, I can find the files on my phone, but they never show up correctly in the default music player. The album art is sometimes wrong, the artist and album title are both listed...

The Captivate's on-screen keyboard has a key labeled "DEL", but it actually functions like a backspace in that it deletes the key behind the cursor, as opposed to in front of it. Is there any key/function on the on screen keyboard that functions like a standard "Delete" key on a regular...

Is there any possible way to load/sync a .wpl playlist onto the Captivate? I haven't had any problem syncing my music to the Captivate through WMP, but for some reason I can't figure out how to copy the playlists over as well. I've searched through a bunch of posts and couldn't find anything...

This may sound like a dumb question, but how do I switch from vibrate to silent using the button on the pulldown notification menu in 2.2? When I was using 2.1, if I pushed the vibrate/silent button, it would switch between the vibrate and silent modes. Now when I press that same button, it...

The title says it all. Is there any way to have more than 4 browser windows open at a time using the stock browser? This is running on official Froyo.

I have a captivate with the stock 2.2 Froyo and a Motorola H17txt BT headset with A2DP. Is it possible to have my phone respond to voice commands to play music? For example, I say "play <artist name>" or "play <song name>" and it does. I've tried Vlingo but for some reason it isn't...

I have a Motorola H700 that I'm using with my Captivate. When I was using it with my RAZR back in 2007, pushing the side button activated the voice prompt. When I use this headset with my Captivate, pushing that button does nothing. A quick search reveals that BT voice dialing is apparently...

I have been trying to use a Motorola H700 bluetooth headset with my Captivate, but haven't been having much luck. The H700 shows as "paired" with my Captivate when I go to the bluetooth menu, but whenever I open the mic on the H700, one of the following two scenarios usually occurs: 1. The...

When I'm composing an email using the gmail app, it has a few names/email addresses stored that it tries to autocomplete for me. How do these names get added, and is there a way for me to add them manually? The gmail app doesn't seem to sync with the list of contacts I have in my actual gmail...

Normally when you send a text to someone who you already have a saved series of text messages with, it just adds your message to the conversation thread. If you send a text message to more than one person at a time, the Captivate creates a new text message thread and displays your message once...
