So here's my confession - I actually have a Samsung Statosphere II, which is really similar to the S3 - and is running JellyBean (but it's so unpopular a phone there's no forum for it). The pre-installed shortcuts that came were "Phone" and "Contacts". So to get to "Recent" or "Favorites" I...

Most of my outgoings are to the list contained in "Recent" or "favorites", but list is too long to create a shortcut for each one. I just want to get to that list more quickly than by first having to select "phone". /j

I've looked all over the web for this. On my S3 - running JellyBean, I'd like a home screen shortcut directly to the phone's "Favorites" or "Recent" list. There doesn't seem to be any way to do this. Old posts refer to a 'create shortcuts item on the home page menu, but all I have is "add...

Hi - I have a Samsung S3, and S-Voice is really slow. My old Blackberry curve was much faster. I know there are a number of feature-rich, low-maturity personal assistants out there that try to do 30 things, but all I really need is an App that I can speak a contact or a 10-digit number and it...

anyone? thanks!

Wow - that's a strong statement. I suspected something like this when they dropped the price to $29.99, but unfortunately Verizon doesn't offer any other options with a physical keyboard (except the about-to-be-end-of-life's droid4 - I don't want that phone because the battery is non-removable...

Hi - I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere II from VZW . As I learn more about it, I realize that it is NOT the same as the Samsung Galaxy S II. I realize that there is almost no information posted on the web about the Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere II. There isn't even an Android...

Does anyone know whether there will be a JellyBean update for this phone? Need to know before my 14d runs out. (foolishly I believed sales guy, but I can't prove it in a web search) thanks! /j

Hi - I put my phone in a belt pouch when I bike. I'm wondering if there are any music players that let you skip-to-next (or last) song with a long-hold of vol-up or vol-down. (for Samsung Stratosphere II, ICS4) Thanks! /j

Hi - I'm surprised I can't find on Amazon. Coming from Blackberry, I appreciated the "soft" skin that protected the phone when I dropped it. I can't seem to find anything similar - can anyone recommend? thanks! /j

Hi - I just got a new Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere II (VZ). When I connect it by USB to my WinXP SP3 PC, I can see the top level of my SD card, but the folders are listed as files so I can't open them. I tried creating a new folder on the SD card using the phone, but still, from the PC, the...
