Hello.
Thanks for taking your time reading this post.
So as i took a picture I noticed i cant delete it from Google +.
It is not shared, however the Delete button that is greyed out concerns me to a point.
Does this mean Google + may let you delete pictures in the future? At this point I am a little disappointed, so does this leave me to either suck it up for now, or disable the Google+ App from my phone and account?
Any light shed on this topic is appreciated.
Thanks
Edit:I was digging around and stumbled upon a website that claimed Google + will store our information permanently.
Even though the Delete button is greyed out, it is still clickable, and you can delete the picture that you choose. Just click on the picture that you want to delete, then click the delete button.

Hey thanks so much! I am somewhat ashamed I didn't think to try that. Thank you for your time!

In mail (I use exchange), when I attempt to move an e-mail from my Inbox to another folder, a list of recently used folders pops up. Is there a way to delete or clear that list? Thanks!
Could you give a little more detail?
When I pick an message either open or in the Inbox (long press) and choose "Move", I get a list of all my available folders, pick one, and it moves it there.
Seems to work pretty much as expected/desired?

After you move a couple of messages, a Recently Used folders list appears at the top of your available folders list. I'm looking to clear that list. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Have you tried clearing the cache in the application -> manage menu?

I tried to do that, but Clear Cache is ghosted out. Do you know of another way to clear it? Thanks!
Barring any other route, if it's that big of a deal to you, you can always remove and readd the account. That should clear the list for you, I'd think.

Thanks... I thought about doing that, but I was looking to avoid it.
Does anyone know how to clear the mail (Exchange) cache? Mine is ghosted out. Thanks!

Today, the Clear Cache button became un-ghosted. I cleared it, but that didn't solve my problem. I guess the only way to fix it is to delete and re-add the account. Any other suggestions? Thanks!
I want to disable the search button but I don't know how. I have searched for a while and can't find any info. Anyone have any idea. I always hit that stupid thing when I'm texting while laying down and it's annoying. Gotta disable that thing or at least disable it while I'm texting. That would actually be the better route so I can still use the feature because I do actually use it. I just hate how I always hit it and I have to keep closing out of it. Will donate if someone could help me with this.
Thanks.
Hmmmm....I don't know if this device has located the file were we could modify the function of each button yet. I definitely want to know if that could be done without utilizing an app.
Look in /system/usr/keylayout, now there are two files shooter-keypad.kl and qwerty.kl look for key 217 and remove delete the text "search" from both of them, and add CAMERA just like that and you could have camera instead of search, but if you don't want that just leave it blank, let me know if it works for sure, its been awhile and my 3d isn't rooted yet.

Anytime, I remembered it from when I modified that to help Flipz fix the menu unlock issue, good times on the Hero forums.
does this annoy anyone else?
if I take a photo, and I want to email it to someone.. there are a gazillion different 'share' options but none of them are gmail. yet if it recognises someones face (good luck with that), then I can gmail it.
does anyone know a way to reenable gmail sharing via the gallery?
I couldn't work it out either and it was really bugging me. I really don't know why it is not in the standard list, but this is how to do it:
Go to the thumbnail of the photo you wish to email and press and hold on it for a second or so. When it is highlighted you then press the "share' button up the top. Then you are able to email, MMS, etc.
I really don't like it, but that seems to be the way to do it from the gallery.
I hope this helps.
What are you firmware details?
Sounds like you really need to update to the latest firmware release.
You probably won't find anything by checking through KIES, so just flash through Odin manually. (Backup to PC before).
I've have that option (always had), and currently running ALFE6.

Thanks! The share icon is so weird, for anyone else looking it's a icon with 3 dots and lines drawn between them.
Has anyone found how to remove face tags? I like the feature but I have an image with a bunch of yellow squares drawn over it and would only like the ones that actually have a face.

thankyou sir. seems like a bug.
i guess you need to be in the 'grid view' of gallery for this to work. shame because that's not easy to get to if you just take a photo and review your shots and want to email it.
someone asked about firmware.. i'm on.. i don't even care. i spent two years pissing around with custom roms with an htc desire. i don't have time in my life for that anymore.. just need a very stable daily driver. will wait for kies..
My first android phone is SGS3 and ...
I have so very many questions I dont even know where to start. Just like it said in the video I am a noob so this might even be in the wrong section.
For the starters a few questions come to mind (and yes, I did use the search button, viewed tens maybe hundreds of forum pages) so please would someone be so kind and help me with following
1] In the browser, when I click bookmarks, I find local but under that two other empty folders with my gmail adress but both empty. How do I remove them?
2] How to properly setup mail for exchange. I have my gmail and hotmail accounts added. Sometimes they work sometimes they dont and how the widget updates is really beyond me.
3] One thing that really bothers me since I like to keep my devices clean and arranged is uninstalling apps and games. I noticed that after uninstalling some files remain.
4] Another thing is that mostly with trial versions of apps, I cant seem to find them anywhere in my files folder therefore I cant check if after uninstalling all the junk is removed.
Besides that I can say that the phone is pretty good although the build and the pentile is kinda let down but enough has been said on this forum on that subject.
Thank you for your answers.

Honestly, I recommend using Google Chrome. You can download it from the market.
The folders with your Gmail address are for sync across devices. Afaik it can be disabled by System Settings->Accounts&Sync->[Email address]->untick "Sync Browser"

What ROM are you on? System Settings->About phone. ALEx-Builds have issues with Exchange (at least mine always did).

The same issue as on all computers... messy apps. The files on the sdcard do not really belong to the app so Android cannot delete them automatically. I agree that it's a terrible chaos after trying out several apps which is very annoying. Sadly that issue is present with all computers including GNU/Linux, Windows, ...

You cannot see the app installation folder since the system hides them. All you can see is the before-mentioned junk.
The files in the correct folder (=the one you cannot see) are always correctly removed.

You must have very good eyes to see the difference between Pentile and RGB matrix. Are you even sure you relaly know what the difference is and what it means for you?
new also to SGSlll
I'm also new to the SGSlll and I have a the same questions that were answered and it helped a lot but I got a couple of my own if it's not to imposing to ask,
1) Somehow the green call button that used to be beside the number or the name of the contact in the logs section disappeared and I know I can swipe to call it, but I would like that button back because it is easier for me. I don't know whether this was gone from the recent update.
2) why is there some games and apps that I can't find in play store, I tried to DL them from the Internet and it said you can't DL them in your country (Egypt) is there anything I could that will allow me to DL them?
3) Is there any ways to create a folder so that I can put all the games together for example??
Thank you very much and sorry for the inconvenience as I said am still new to andriods.

The only RGB Amoled I can compare the S3 to is the S2 and it's very obvious on first sight that the S3 kicks the S2 with sharpness and detail.
(I'm not including the S1 which is far below both in terms of resolution)

Have you checked the Settings? I'm not on a Samsung-Rom so I cannot test for myself.
I can recommend Go Contacts EX (free in Play Store) if you want a fully customizable Dialer.

Restrictions can be imposed on multiple levels
- Hardware specs (notably display resolution)
- Android Version
- Hardware name
- Country
- Carrier
In your case it seems to be the country. There are multiple descriptions on XDA and other sites, but afaik all of them include using a Proxy server. It's not trivial but unfortunately the only method for accessing them from the Play Store.

Not on the stock launcher afaik. You can create folders on the home screen but not in the app drawer.
There exist several other free Launchers in the Play Store capable of creating folders, try them out.

You can create folders in the apps drawer by clicking the left menu button > edit. Then drag an app (you should be able to see an empty folder icon at bottom left corner) and mount it over the folder icon. The app will now appear in a folder. Rest of the apps can be moved to the folder as well and you can name it whatever you like. Be sure to save the setting at top right corner. This folder can also be dragged to the home screen menu. Hope this helps.
Thanks a lot for the replies everything helped except,

Yes I've checked settings and nothing and I do know about Go Contacts but that's not what I need. I event did factory restore settings to see what went wrong and nothing don't know what to do really.

That works well, did not know this. Personally I like to use Apps Organizer by Fabio Collini (on the Market for free). It also gives u the opportunity to create folders with your themed apps (i.e. games / tools / navigation / ...) The advantage here is that you can select your own icon for the folder to go on your home screen. Especially if you have a lot of themed folders (like I do) you can create a much nicer look this way.

The call button on the right side was removed in the LFB update. Samsung probably thought it was redundant and I agree with that. They could have made it optional though.
At the moment there's no way to get that back unless you replace that particular apk (dialer.apk maybe) with the older version of it.

it sure is better than s2 i know.

That's fully configurable. Dropbox doesn't upload anything except you actually tell it to.
Go to Settings->Accounts->Sync and disable the Sync accounts and settings you do not need or want.
I'd recommend syncing Contacts+Bookmarks through Google and using SMS Backup+ to sync call logs and SMS.
With those present, even a lost/broken device would be acceptable in terms of data loss to me.
This should probably go in like a "general Android" forum, but since I don't really stray from the Note 2 forum, I figured I'd ask here.
Is there a way to keep photos from showing up in the Photos/Gallery apps? I have some special pictures () of my wife on my phone that I don't want showing up when I let someone see my phone to show them a random pic. I mean, yeah, I could take them off the phone, but I don't want to lmao.
Or maybe a setting somewhere? I didn't see anything in the Photos app...

I'd just move them to a subfolder and create a .nomedia file in it. This lets the scanner know to skip that folder and it won't show up in gallery.
Ha, works perfectly, thanks! :highfive:
Now, is there an easier way to view them other than removing the file? Are there apps that can view pictures even with that file?
Try Quickpic from play store. You can hide and show folders quickly from the menu button. Also an option to exclude folders. Way better than stock gallery imo.
