    Help Android Media Process Alert in WatchDog

    I really don't know what I did to cause this to start appearing. My Watchdog Lite program just started giving me alerts that the Android Media Process is using too much CPU. Unrooted/never rooted. TMobile non-LTE, running 4.3. (4.4.x hasn't been made available, so no switch.) The alerts...

    Another Battery Question

    I woke up at 5am this morning with my usual alarm. My phone was on the charger, as always. The green light was on showing a full charge. I took it off, went and brushed my teeth and headed downstairs for some coffee. I poured the coffee, turned on the TV to watch the morning news. Looked...

    4.3 screen capture question

    I can't figure out how to do a screen capture on 4.3. I miss the side of the hand swipe method that was on here when I first got my phone in August of 2012-that was perfect imho.

    Wrong Alarm went off?

    I use my S3 for lots of alarms. One that goes off daily at 5:30am wakes me up. It's a stock alarm called Drifting Downstream. I also have an alarm that goes off at 5:30PM every day to remind my 12 year old to go pick up the dog droppings in the backyard. For that one, I have created an...

    T-Mobile USA 4.1.2

    Will we EVER get 4.1.2? A friend who is on either AT&T or Sprint (I always get them mixed up) just brought me her S2 and even THAT phone had 4.1.2. What's the hold up? What's the problem? You loved me so much when it was time to spend all that money to buy this thing, now you hate me and won't...

    Help CMAS Alerts on T-Mobile in US

    This may or may not be an S3 issue, but I thought I'd throw it out here anyway to see if anybody on other carriers in the US has solved it. At 4:45 am on Saturday morning (my only day of the week I get to sleep in), my phone started making noises I never heard before. It was an Emergency Alert...

    Appropriate Abbreviation

    Samsung Galaxy S3 = SGS3 Galaxy S3 = GS3 Samsung Galaxy 3 = SG3 OK, which one is it? I know it's stupid, but I keep seeing all of them all over this forum...which one is it? I think I might just start calling it the MPIBTYP. My Phone Is Better Than Your Phone! :p

    Love this phone! But I found a bug in the stock calendar widget. I was adding my family's birthdays. When I went to make it repeat once a year, the program froze up, then an error message popped up: "Unfortunately the calendar has stopped." I tried several things to fix it. Reboot, different...
