Soon be Noob--questions!

Couldn't agree more, Shanicenicolle. And Welcome aboard!

An ex-iPhone'r as well. Mine's only 3 weeks old, and I haven't hardly dl'd any apps, due to every time I start reading any particular apps reviews. . it seems there's always a few (or more) horror stories. So I keep telling myself?no need to rush into dl'ing a ton of apps?when the stock phone is working fine. Still undecided on whether I'll 'root' or not, but probably will.

I have uninstalled two apps though? Advanced Task Killer & Juice Defender ?upon realizing that they weren't working, or doing what I expected them to do, and were actually using more battery 'juice' than they were saving.

Do miss the PBS & MPR iOS apps. TuneIn Radio is a 'staple' app. Been thinking of dl'ing Swype or Swiftkey keyboards; and several of those apps (or similar apps) that GSDer has listed (above), including Titanium Backup & etc. ? if I 'root'...which I probably won't be able to resist trying.

I guess my phone's pretty boring, as I mostly populate my home screens with links to fav or handy sites. lol

Haven't ordered a case as of yet; still running around naked. :0 But about to pull the trigger on a few @ Amazon; posted a few links at this thread, post #22, on the 'AT&T Galaxy S3 Accessories' sub-forum, where there's lots & lots of case threads.

u should check out the homescreens stickie n get some ideas. very artistic.
it becomes addictive

Okay. Sorry.

Must have...

Android lost. Always find your phone, read text logs, call logs, if someone changed your sim card, wipe it, lock it, make it take a picture with front facing camera after certain amount of failed unlock attempts, record sound around, and many other things. Perfect app.

Lookout, scan for malware, back up contacts, locate phone (just in case Android lost isn't working right although it usually does., Always need a back up.

Llama profiles, changes profile. Automatically turn on Wi-Fi when you get to home, put your phone on vibrate at certain time or place, automatically turn volume up when you open you YouTube. All these cool things based on time, location, battery, and apps.

+1 for android lost and no battery footprint.

total recall is good. records all calls and mails the recording to u.
handy if u dont have a pen and paper and handy if a thief is usin your phone

AppBrain Ad Detector is one i keep preaching... scans apps while you install them for threats from adware to dodgy permissions, very sensetive
