A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT THE Samsung Galaxy S3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

1) Will Juice Defender work on this?
2) Probably the most important, when I go to the Google Play market, and I sign on, I can't view the applications I had previously bought for my OLD smartphone. I mean, sure I can go off memory but I can't see any of my "Purchased" apps.
3) How do I make the battery bar display % instead?
Thanks

Hi,
Answer re 3. Go to settings -> display then scroll down and select display percentage. It'll still display bar though.

Well it's all of them! I just searched Shazam and Soundhound....so once they're searched it says "Purchased", but I can't see that BEFORE I search.
It's not like I remember every I've bought!

Hit the menu button in market, hit my apps, flick left and boom, hardest task ever.

I had the same problem coming from a full wipe in the play store.
Sometimes it just takes a little while to refresh which apps you have bought in the store, if it keeps happening send google play an email.

There is a brief delay. They are there. Your phone is no different.

Thanks it worked!
Is it recommended to use JuiceDefender and SetCPU on this phone since it's already so awesome?

You can't transfer apps across USB from your PC. Applications have to be sent from the Play Store to your phone directly, hence you need to use a connection - do you not have WiFi?
Also, don't hijack posts with your own questions - start a new thread.
Also also, learn to write coherent sentences, please.

You CAN download apps on PC (from different sources) and copy it to your phone via USB. These apps are .apk files which CAN be installed by simply clicking on them.
Please understand that english is not native for everyone, and people may not be well versed with it as you are.

Of course you can download .apks from other sources, but you can't download apps as APK files from the Play Store on your PC. That was what the OP (well, not OP, but you know what I mean) asked.

I use "app list backup" to transfer my apps from phone to phone. It's free and easy to use.

It could be a none standard DPI issue. Clear market data&cache,change dpi to 240 and reboot

Even the most awesome phone can't get rid of the radio, Wifi and bluetooth draining the battery, that's simply a physical fact.
However it has quite a large battery so you might not need to set it too restrictive.
I'd recommend going with the 'Juicedefender Beta' (requires the paid 'Juicedefender Ultimate' for all features) and installing AOSP helper. (Requires root)
Do a NANDROID backup as advised but everything should go pretty well.
I've found the following Setup to be excellt while not hindering the least bit with my interactions:
- Set Juidedefender NOT to disable data and NOT to disable sync.
- It should auto-manage Wifi (requires a few days of training)
- It should drop to 2G after 5 minutes of inactivity
- It should restore 3G on screen-on
As a plus you can configure Juicedefender to handle brightness since through it's overlay it can (similarly to Screen Filter) go well below minimum AMOLED brightness which is far too bright at nighttime.
As for SetCPU, I'm running Siyah with only minor modifications to the frequencies. My phone neither likes overclocking nor undervolting but it's awesome as-is
