    How do we turn off the Amber Alert notifications?

    I was not awakened by the alert, though I did get it (I am in the Los Angeles area). I have been using the "Blocking Mode" feature in TouchWiz since I first got my GS3. My phone will not ring between 10 pm and 7 am unless the call is from a select group of numbers (immediate family). So I never...

    Fire HD and Chromecast?

    For a rooted Kindle Fire HD... yes! I am able to cast both the YouTube and Netflix apps (haven't tried Google movies but I'm sure it works). I had to delete the apps and re-download them from Google Play to get them to work.

    PC to extsdcard; card damaged?

    My 32 GB Samsung card is still working fine after about 2 months. I'm upgrading to a 64 GB Sandisk card (because it was cheaper and I want more storage) but if I have a problem, I'll go back to the Samsung.

    MD4 Sidebar Apps

    I am rooted and have TB but I could not get this work after wiping and re-booting multiple times. I did find an app in Google Play that did work for me and I was able to add only the apps I wanted (not all). Samsung Multi Window Manager. When you first open it, it tells you it needs to patch...

    SGS3 fail hd games.

    When reading through the ratings for this game in the Play Store and on the Gameloft site, there seem to be several people having problems with this game on their S3's (and some Nexus 7's). You may need to file a support ticket with Gameloft.
