When you plug earphones into the S3, you get some default app short cuts to select from. Can you change these default apps?
I can't seem to find any option to change this either, but would really like to aswell!
Not been able to change that either, would be really nice to be able to do that.
I spent a few minuets looking at this but I'm on my phone so it may be quicker and easier for someone on a desktop/laptop.

i don't want shutter sound while taking pics
even in silent mode i can hear that sound
any other way to disable it
reducing volume to 0 works for me
another way would be by editing the registry.

? What should I edit?
Find Windows\camerashutter_mirage.wav or shutter.wav and replace the empty .wav
That's the first thing I tried. Searching registry for these strings doesn't yield any results. The files themselves sit in \Windows, but I can't delete or replace them.
Which software did you use?
Why would you want to take pictures with no sutter sound? I remember some one asking this before and was told the shutter sound is to stop people taking picture of people with out them knowing. It made me laugh too but you never know.
I personally want to remove it because it sounds at the wrong time, messing up my pictures of people.
If it worked properly, I'd certainly leave it. Don't know about the others. You can't disable it on the iPhone IIRC, but nobody complains.
Try putting you finger over the speaker as it very easy to mute the sound like this and does not get in the way on the lense, just tried it for you and it kinda work. Its not the best fix but you never know it may help.
I only got my Mozart last week but turning the phone volume to "0" silences the camera...
Turning the volume all the way down works for me as well, but it's an awkward workaround - it doesn't work in the camera application itself, I have to do it beforehand, and it takes too much time.
There is a reg hack available for this.

Never used it before until today, and I must say it has quite a useful interface.
I used to use programs to send texts and stuff from my computer when the phone was charging and this does that. Also drag and drop files from computer wirelessly. I know this isn't new news, but, I never used it until today and haven't really found anything I don't like yet.
Listen to any music on your phone, view your recorded videos, pretty much access the entire phone from within this interface.
Anyone who hasn't checked this out should try it. Pretty cool.
Kies is actually pretty good better than most OEM's stuff. And the web version kiesair is great.
Yeah I like it. Though it seems to have problems reading my contacts/sms messages.
I tried it and hate it!

Check out Airdroid. In the Market.
Haven't tried it before now, its connecting as I write this so I'll see how it goes. Didn't work from Opera so I'm trying it from IE...
I played around with it for 20 minutes. Seems to work ok, a bit slow to load and play videos within the interface so next time I use it I'll try to save the file locally first to see how long that takes.
I need to check out Airdroid.
Music when connecting to Kies Air
I dont know if its just my phone or anybody has experienced this:
Everytime I open Kies Air on my Galaxy Note, a weird samsung tune is playing on the background and can only be stopped if you are already connected with another device or if you press stop.
I hate the music, anybody got an Idea how to make it stop, well other than muting the phone.
Thanks
I liked Airdroid better, although I've found 2 minor problems. One, it doesn't show your videos, only pictures. Have to use its file-view feature to find them. Second, if multiple texts come in at once (a message divided over multiple text msgs), it will only show the first one unless you refresh the page.
I guess this subject might need some explaining.
My parents are going on a trip in a month and they have there heart set on taking a smartphone with them.
What they need is being able to call, text and mail.
They also want to be able to use it as a backup (just in case) for finding their way. So just in case they get lost to find out where they are on their map or use the gps to guide them for a little while.
So basically, calling, sms, mail and gps.
They don't need to be able to change a lot of settings.
So, I was thinking about installing their (yet to buy) smartphone with a simple home screen and the settigs they would need.
To keep them from accidentally messing anything up, I was wondering if it is possible to password protect settings and stuff.
So, does anyone have an idea on:
-how to protect settings etc.
-a good homescreen
-other things like very simple gps app for example
...
I know it's a lot, but any help is much appreciated.
Bada? Much easier than android...
But why do you think, they'll mess up settings?
I was just thinking that if they happen to end up in a settings screen or something they don't know,they might press something wrong.
But on the other hand... I just have to tell them to press the home or back button in such an event.
About bada... I feel stupid now,but i didn't know about it.
The reason for android was that I have an android phone and would at least be able to offer some remote assistance if necessary...
I saw the samsung gt s5560 or something today ... That interface lookes rather simple,maybe I should take a look at that.
Thanks already,more ideas are always welcome ;-)

'app lock' can password protect apps and settings from being opened. It's free on the market and works well.
I wouldn't password protect settings, that way they can turn GPS on and off as needed without running it constantly.
Google maps/nav should work fine. Set up a simple toggle widget on their screen, I suggest Widgetsoid, but there are others. Tell them what the settings do, or in Widgetsoid turn labels on. Flashing a rom with notification toggles built in would help, since they could directly turn on/off GPS and data without being taken to settings screens.
I would also install a launcher that will allow you to lock the home screen so they can't accidentally delete the widgets/shortcuts you've set up for them. Never used it myself but I believe ADW launcher can lock the home screen but there must by others.
I can confirm that adw ex allows you to lock the homsecreen, so nothing can be changed. If you buy a phone with touchwiz, then you can lock settings and use quicktoggles in the notification bar. I can't live without them now. On a side note:widgets could possibly simplify the homsecreen.
App lock and ADW are good ideas (I actually use adw on my tablet).GPS widget on home screen can be very usefull too. Thanks for all the sugestions already!
I got a mail yesterday that they have seen some smartphones they seemed to like. I don't really know them myself except that there's only one android phone (if my web search is correct off course)
The phones they saw:
Nokia lumia 710
Nokia lumia 800
(those are WP7.5 I think)
Samsung galaxy+
(only android in the list as far as I could tell)
Samsung galaxy wave III S8600
(This one is BADA I think)
So I might just wait for what they decide to do, a first look at them on the web seemed to sugest that they're all fine for what they're looking for. They all seem to have the possibility to use gps with some (free) maps as a backup and off course sending mail.

I am new to my rezound. My rezound is about less than a week old. Is there any way to increase the vollume on this device for the ringtone and notifications like when you receive a text or email? If its in my pocket and im driving somewhere forget it. I wont hear it. The vibration motor isnt stong too compared to my old droid 2. I love this rezound phone. But i am not happy with the voullume sounds. I tried to do some digging and read that its because of the ice cream sandwich software download. it wasnt like this with gingerbread? If not can I go back to gb. I dont know what advantages ics does over gb. but if im in another room than my phone is at home i wont hear it. I dont think there are apps to my knowledge that increase ringtone and notifications. I appreciate any help on this matter. Cause I am still trying to figure this one out. Thanks for your help.
S-off your phone and you can go back to GB if you want and also you might want to try Newts rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501512 when I tried it, volumes were super loud with it.

I am a little confused on what u said. I appreciate ur help though. I am a newb with the software thing part of the phone. Can you please explain to me step by step what I have to do? I don't mind going back to gb or doing what ever you had when your phone was super loud. Thanks again.
Not really much you can do unless your phone is actually broken (in which case get a new one). Maybe make a louder ringtone?
Try these ideas:
Go to Settings --> Sound, General --> Volumes --> verify that your 'Ringtone & notifications' is turned up to the volume you desire. Call yourself from another phone to test the volume setting. If this is already set to 'max' and you're still unhappy with the volume level, try the next suggestion.
Go to Settings --> Sound --> Incoming Calls, Pocket mode --> check the box (doing so will increase the ringer volume while your phone is in your pocket or handbag). If you've already tried this suggestion, try the next one.
If that doesn't work, change your ringtone to one that's loud and high pitched. The higher pitched ring tones 'sound' louder because you can hear them over the background noise of say, a car, or a shopping center.
Do you have problems hearing people when you're on a phone call? If not, then your speaker is ok and your issue is more than likely, the ringtone itself. Some ringtones are barely audible. I've tried a few that I really liked, but some of them were nearly impossible to hear - ever. The ringtone I use now is called Standard 3 on my phone. I've collected ringtones from each of my phones over time so I've added a bunch. You might not have the same one. For me, Standard 3 is super loud and I have to remember to turn my phone ringer down when I go into a restaurant or quiet store. It sometimes scares the bejeebies outta me! Lol!
I'm using stock ICS and there's nothing wrong with the volume on my phone so it's unlikely that the ROM is the problem on yours. Try different ringtones and you might find one that's interesting and loud. Zedge is an app you can load from the Android Market and you can download tons of free ringtones, wallpapers and other cool stuff. I'm sure you can find something there that you'd like.
Good luck!
I'm on a rooted S5 on Touchwiz running Xposed and a handful of modules. No vibration, including custom ones I can create, are close to loud enough for me to hear at work, which is a problem because at my job I get a lot of calls at random times from my boss. I have tried using Vibe, which actually allowed me to download a vibration loud enough to hear at work, but it replaces your SMS service's vibration notification, and it constantly puts itself into silent. I have not been able to find where the vibration is downloaded on my phone using Androzip or through my computer via USB, I am under the impression Vibe is not set up to allow you to export the ringtones you download. I am new to rooted phones, so I do not know my way around my system well enough to know if this is the case or not. I tried downloading a loud wav vibration file, but it is only available as a text notification sound, not a vibration. I do not want to have to go in and change my ringer and my notification tone and back every time I go to work, on lunch, and leave the building if I do not have to. Do any of you know how I can either edit my vibration setting to apply one of the ones I have already found, where I can download a very loud vibration tone my phone will actually recognize and let me apply, or if there is another app such as Vibe or an Xposed module that is actually working? I've been looking for almost a week now, I figured it was time to throw out all the details and ask. If anyone is able to help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it. What could be better than the appreciation of a guy with one post?
