What exactly is Buddies Now? I'm on JI2 and it's showing as 'installed' but it's not in my app drawer. I'm considering removing it but want to make sure it's not a background service that I want to keep.
It's bloatware garbage that comes with the phone. Perfectly safe to remove.
So it has no functions? Lol.
Will it break the Facebook account sync for contacts if I remove it?
Nope its one of the Samsung Widgets that come with the phone. If you dont use it or don't use TouchWiz as your launcher its useless.

Speaking of useless, do you know of any alternatives that would be a good replacement? I posted in this thread here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10460755#post10460755
Looking for suggestions.
is it possible to set the default reminder time for calendar events using the default SGS2 calendar app ?
annoyingly, mine (everyone's ?) is set to none by default which means that i've been creating calendar events and not being reminded about them which is quite annoying.
i'd rather not have to set a reminder time for every calendar event - i'm sure that there was a setting for this in the sense calendar on my desire.
any ideas ?
I also notived this issue
With my Desire and Gingerbread 2.3.4 AOSP Rom (Google Stock Calendar) ill could set the default reminder time.
Ill think samsung must correct this issue.
Does anybody else have a solution?
thx

No one figured this out yet? This is so annoying...
Root your device and replace TW calendar with this modified calendar:

I have bought the SG II and sofar sooner or later I want to get rid of the bloat ware. but for now I like to know whats the best email program.
With a BB all the mail came in one place and you could do anything from there. Is there something like that on a this phone or something I can download.
Also is there a program the lets you organize apps better. Their everywhere!!!
And how do you make the Voice commands work off of the double tap. The rep made it my search button holding it 2 sec. How did he do that?
Also last how do you syn laptop music?

I'll do what I can to help you out.
Best email program - I only have exp with Gmail & TW email. I like them both
Organize programs - AppZorter
sync music - there are a bunch of software that can do it: Kies, Samsung Media something, Media Monkey. Google it & you'll probably get more results than I listed
here is a list for you buddy on what to remove and not to...

to get the apps sorted better i prefer using a different launcher. Launcher pro is the one i use but any of them will put them in alphabetical. Cant believe samsung dont have an option in touchwiz to do that, seems quite a basic omission.
email i just use the stock one but k9 email is also pretty good.
not sure what you mean by the voice commands, you should just tap the home button twice and the voice control screen comes up
Best email: K9 Mail.

point is the standard everyday user shouldnt have to come to xda and download a modded theme just to get the app drawer showing alphabetical. Its a pretty standard request from everyone and a pretty big omission from samsung.

true and i fully agree with you and the way you sort folders in touchwiz is pretty **** compare to the go launcher..but still i think the update of touchwiz fixes all of that now
Hey, I got my Galaxy S3 and i noticed one annoying thing, namly S Planner,
is there a way to get stock ICS Calendar instead of that?
If you don't want to bother with switching out the apk, I'd recommend just installing a port of the ICS calendar. This is the one I'm using:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concentriclivers.calendar
Tx, do i have to root to switch out the apks?

You've probably figured it out by now, but the answer should be there for those who are having the same problem.
The answer: You don't need to be rooted.
S-Planner really does suck. I don't know what they were thinking when they bundled it with such an amazing phone.
Anyone else notice this or know if there is a workaround? Since the OTA update, neither Maildroid or K9 will open the default browser when clicking links and opens a browser right in the e-mail.. really don't like this and hope there is something simple to get this back. Default client and Gmail still work ok. I really do not prefer neither of those. Thanks in advance!
Anyone?
Htclinkify has been further integrated into the Rom. Not all apps have Ann option to pick which app to pick a specific app to open. There is an option to change some in app associations..
Otherwise this post is trying to work on changing it back http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702140
Though i don't know if any have been successful since the new ota in removing this Apple required feature.
Thanks.. in other words.. I'm SOL unless I get into mods.. was really trying to avoid this on this phone. Just want something to work as it should. Guess I am stuck with Gmail for now.. I just don't like conversation view. I wish there was an option to disable that. I knew I should not have updated! Everything was working perfect for me as it was.
