Contacts - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

New to Samsung so I apologies for this question....how you put individual contacts on the screen for one touch dialing?
Thanks

Go to your app menu, with all your app's... at the top select widgets...scroll over till you see one called direct call, it's a 1x1...select and hold to place on the home screen you want...then it will take you to your contacts to select the number/person it is to call.

Why do email reply automatically get saved as contacts

How do I stop this from happening. Every time I reply from my gmail app who ever I reply to automatically gets saved as a contact.

Google does it. They have always done this with g mail. And your phone syncs contacts with google. I wish I knew how to make it stop. I'll dig.
Edit: dug. At google.com go to gmail and sign in. press cog next to your name and scroll down to "create contacts for auto-complete" and select I'll add contacts myself and scroll to bottom and save changes.
Thanks that worked.

Replace stock messaging app with Gosms

Hey Folks, is there a way i can replace the stock Messaging app with goSms, on my first page on my phone it has the stock meeaging app, but i cant replace it
Launch your app tray from your home screen and press the menu key. Select edit. Drag the stock SMS app off, drag GoSMS on. Select the menu key again and then select save.
What do you mean launch the app tray?
I have TouchWiz btw.

The blue icon that says Applications on the dock next to the icon you want to replace opens your app tray.
Ohh that lol
Sorry
Thanks buddy, all sorted now.
Much appreciated.

Phone search

Is there a way to search the phone for files/apps/settings? I'm most interested in the settings search - I find myself constantly scrambling around to find certain settings that are buried deep in the menu system. I want to be able to search by a keyword and be able to jump right to a given setting/app/file.

I notice a search option on the home screen when I click the settings /options softkey but it doesn't seem to do anything (I'm on bonestock rom).

If you press and hold the "menu" key, Search will open. Then you can hit menu and settings, and choose what to search in the phone. But "settings" is not an option, unfortunately.
A different approach. Maybe you can put some settings shortcuts on one of your screens, the ones you use often and don't want to look for them.
Another option, if you swipe down with 2 fingers, you'll see a lot of toggles for a lot of settings. If you touch one of them, it turns that setting on and off. But hold it, and it will take you to settings.
