How secure do you need a phone to be? Mine is in my pocket or I am using it. I don't see how someone could sneak into my pocket to play with my phone without me knowing. Do you leave yours unattended at the local bar?

I don't get the whole enter a code every time I wake my phone up mentality.

I agree.

I just have an alarm that sounds very loud when my phone is picked up. I did originally put this on so I know when my one year old son gets hold of my phone :D

i cant get the screen shot thing to work and i'm tired of swiping my palm across my phone :mad:

not your palm, rather the edge of your hand... like, hold your right hand out with your palm down, rotate it 45 deg, and drag from right to left with the bottom edge of your hand.
 
Here is one that I'm sure 99.99999999% of you know about as it's very basic. I just never used it before so I did not know about it. The 6 dots on the home screen and the dots on the app menu... hold your thumb or finger on them for a moment. You can then slide back and forth to quickly few all of the screens. This is nice if you have several widgets on the home screens and want to look at them all quickly.
 
This post just gets better and better. As phones get more featured filled and instruction books less easy to follow we could do with one of these each time a new top end phone comes out. I learn something new each day :-)

Your TV has to be equipped with DLNA, and connected to your home network. Phone must also be on wifi. While playing the video in the Video Player app on your phone, at the top left of the screen is an icon that is present if it detects other DLNA deivces on your home network. Click on the icon, and choose the device you want to play the video on. As a note, this will also work on computers and laptops that are on the network that have media sharing/DLNA middle ware on it.
 
i just got a GS3 2 days ago and ver very impressed at how well the
"All Share" feature works with my new Samsung LED Smart tv. i can
transfer all the pictures and videos i take with the phone to the tv
via bluetooth.

I have a Phillips HD TV but its not an internet TV. However I have a Sony streaming box hooked up to it. This does not allow full internet access only Sony services, Lovefilm and Iplayer. So I was not expecting to be able to use this feature. I just turned the TV and the Sony box on and then started to play a film on my phone (using the Samsung player). I then tapped the top left corner of the screen and within a second the film was perfectly playing on the TV in full HD glory. Wow, awesome, try doing that with an Iphone.
