I think Solar System 3D Pro is pretty cool.

It looks like that except I had typed in an address and not a name.

I am using the calendar that came with the phone. I haven't downloaded a calendar. I wonder why this is not working for me. When I'm looking at a calendar appointment, I notice that the Location icon next to the address is 'grayed out'.

I still remember, years ago, the very first demo of what was to be expected from the Android OS. Incredible integration between calendar, contacts, and Google maps. What's taking so long? Or am I doing something wrong. When I open up an appointment on my calendar and tap on the location of the...

Yeah, and it was especially good for one-handed use on phones with larger screens, which are becoming more and more common.

Thanks. I get it now--you have to keep pressing on the screen with the second tap. That is kind of cool. But it would be so much more useful if the resized text would reflow with new margins.

I've been playing around with Chrome Beta and I'm not really seeing what it has only offer over the current release version of Chrome for this device. I only see a couple of gestures for moving between tabs and they do not work. Perhaps this is why Chrome Beta does not show up for the GS4 on...

Thanks. It did not come up in a search in Google Play, but I found it with a Google search and am trying it now.

While waiting to upgrade to the GN3, I cracked the screen on my GS3, which was replaced with a new GS4. The stock browser on the GS4 is a disappointment compared with the latest software updates to the stock GS3 browser (on Verizon). No Labs, which is a really convenient one-handed interface on...

Thanks. This problem did arise about the time I went back to using the stock browser. First, I'm going to wait and see if the problem persists with the Jelly Bean version of the stock browser. I just got Jelly Bean yesterday.

Yes, I've restored most of the apps I was using, which is why I'm now exploring this option. Is there a way to do a hard reset without Google Play automatically restoring apps?

My first S3 started doing this a few weeks ago so Verizon sent me a replacement S3. It's doing the same thing 'though perhaps not as frequently. 1-2 x per day. Previous phone was probably around 4x a day. If this isn't a common problem with the S3, perhaps this is a software problem? Any...

I use ICS Browser+, really like the shortcuts and the form entry memory. Biggest failing of almost all browsers on SG3 is the lack of resize text after pinch-zoom. See also these earlier threads: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii/198993-best-browser.html...

Been using this one for a little while. Not so great. Charging light for spare battery doesn't always switch to green when it's charged. MicroUSB connection seems a little fragile but it works fine. Spare battery that comes with it is not very good. Better than nothing but I don't really...
