Help Contextual App Link

[Mabus02]

So the new Verizon Gs3 update says something about a Contextual App Link to sort apps by frequency of use, but I cant figure out where that is or how to use it. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thank you!

Hello Mabus. Welcome to Android Forums.

All I've seen about that is a coming Verizon OTA including that Contextual App Link along with other upgrades, etc.

I'm looking for the same thing, hopefully someone will post it soon.

Here's a thread on another forum we can watch for the answer to this question:

Just wondering if anyone has found out anything about this yet? Also thanks for the welcome

I've been tweeting back and forth with Verizon, and finally one of the support reps sent me this link (can't post link with my first post, sorry): http ://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=6aM7kQ7sCRE#t=51s . It shows how to get to the menu:

Long press home button -> press Task Manager -> Press "Downloaded" -> Press menu button -> Press sort by -> Press "frequency of use".

Honestly it took WAY too many presses to get to this for it to be a useful feature. I was assuming it would be a way to sort your app drawer, which would have made a whole lot more sense.

Yeah that sounds like too much of a PITA to ever be useful :beer:
