    Verizon Galaxy S3: 4.3 update questions and issues!

    Re: Galaxy S3 4.3 update questions and issues! Can anyone tell me how to turn off the flash when I receive calls? I can't seem to find the setting. I know it's there, just can't find it even though it's probably staring me in the face. Really don't like having the flash turn on every time I...

    My one major complaint about the Galaxy S3

    I with the OP. There needs to be an "All Photos" folder in the gallery that combines camera photos, dowloaded photos facebook, picassa, etc. Basically, if there is a photo on the gallery, there should be one folder that has them all in addition to the separated folders. I did find a way to...

    text message fail!

    Yep, I tried using it "clean" before loading all the apps. She's out of town right now so I'll try the reboot in recovery mode. When you say clearing the Cache, do you mean the cache for the messaging app? Thanks for the suggestions so far.

    text message fail!

    GSDer, Yep, she's on MF1 and I think she did upgrade from the MD3 firmware. I did a factory reset last night and she's still having the same problem. I had hoped that would do the trick. From what I have been reading, the reset doesn't seem to do much good if any. At best, people are...

    Wrong Home Screen?

    So, when I press the home button on my phone, it takes me to screen just to the right of my center home screen. Not the home screen. Anyone else had this problem? Is there a way to correct it? Did I hit a setting somewhere without knowing it? Not a huge deal but kinda annoying...

    Black spot in camera?

    It's likely dust on the actual sensor. Happens all the time with DSLR cameras. It's probably microscopic but shows up large on your photos. On DSLR cameras this can be cleaned. No way to do it on a phone. At least not easily. I would return it. But, you might try taking the back off the...

    Things I dislike about the Galaxy S3

    I came from the Rezound and while I think the Rezound is probably the most underated and ignored android phone out right now, the S3 is just amazing. But, I have the say the position of the power button and the volume rocker in relation to each other is horrible. Despite Jobs telling me...

    Text w/ photos weirdness....

    I've notice that when and I send or received a text w/ a photo attached, it comes up as a video after it's sent or received. In other words, when I receive a text w/ a photo and I press on the photo to enlarge, I get a video control bar at the bottom of the photo. It automatically plays for...

    Should I return?

    I got my S3 a few days ago and when the Verizon rep booted the phone up for the first time, I got a message saying something like no sim card detected. Tried and couple more time and same thing. The Verizon rep swapped out the sim with a new one and the problem was solved. Been fine ever...

    Google Maps update reboots phone

    Works fine on my Galaxy S3. Seems to be HTC issue. I'm guessing it will get fixed soon. Otherwise lots of people will be getting lost and crashing when it shuts down!

    photo editing

    Been using Perfectly Clear as well. It does a good job. I like being able to see side by side exposure differences.
