Hey there everyone. Wife and I just upgraded to the GS3 under VZW and so far have been really liking the phone. It's our first smart-phone but have been around enough friends & family to get a reasonable baseline on how they work. After a couple weeks, starting hunting to answer questions and found this site. WOW, tons of information and have cleared up some of our minor issues/questions...but some still exist. Hoping this forum can help clear up some things - sorry if these have been discussed, but couldn't find anything via the search function.
1) (comment / frustration) VZW salesman told us all games/apps/etc is best to be put on SD card. As such, we only purchased the 16gb and were going to buy large cards. Now, knowing games & apps cannot be transferred...wising we would've got the 32gb just to ensure we have enough room.
2) Why is it that we need to have the mobil data (or wifi) enabled to send pictures within text msg? On our previous basic phone without data plan, it allowed us to do this...seems strange we need data access to accomplish the same task? Is there something I'm missing?
3) Outside of play store, where are some good locations to view/download apps, games, widgets? I know everyone has their personal preference on best items to get...just looking for some good spots to start looking.
4) Is the app to be able to read those QR barcodes in the google store or other place? As you can tell...I've not ventured to deep into it to find all I need/want.
Just getting started here, so I'll keep this one short. Thanks to all that help.
