I know that i am probally missing something simple but -
On a S3 how do i put a Excel file on a screen?
It won't let you right click and copy and paste. However, if you select the file and hot control+c the go to desktop and hit control+v it should work

I think he's referring to putting it on the home screen of his GS3....correct?
Yeah
this may or may not work. Also there may be an easier way. I downloaded Astro file manager from Google Store (free app)
Went to home screen, long press and select Short Cuts (I use Nova launcher)
Then selected Astro from the menu
Astro should open and you should be able to browse to the file you want. I didnt have an excel or document to use. I just tested it with a ringtone and it added the ringtone to home screen

Does anyone know how to move and organize your apps around once it's placed in a folder already? (I'm referring to just using the folder functionality in TouchWiz, not by downloading another app to organize). I can't seem to figure this out...
Hey mate,
1.)
just go into app drawer,
then press menu,
(at bottom you will see folders)
now just put apps you want in it,
then go back or move folder in app drawer.
Sure you then can put the folder on homescreen.
2.)
just press menu on homescreen (with at least one free "case") and choose "add".
- Sure you also can do a long-press on homescreen -
Then you can create a new folder (also by categories)

edit - sorry i just read all your post my bad..........
Thanks for the reply guys, but what I meant was that once there are apps in the folder, is there a way to rearrange them inside the folder? I tried holding the folder down, but that just allows me to drop it to the desktop homescreen.
Apps Organiser (fabio collini) is brilliant and very simple. Probably my second most important app behind titanium backup

Sorry for misunderstanding!
So you can really sort it in folder like you want to do it.
The only chance is putting the files in right order.
So the first one will be top left, fourth top right and last on at last point (dunno how much things you want to throw in)
Hope this is the right answer now

Is this possible? I can't seem to figure it out. The long press menu doesn't work at all on the NT. I can't find another way to add them.
I only got folders to work on go launcher because it can create them in the apps window, allowing you to create shortcuts to them on the launcher screens.

Hold App A on top of App B for a little while longer and a transparent box should appear. That is your folder.

Are you sure that works on the free version? I know it works on ADW EX. I used the free version until a few months ago, and I don't believe it has had updates in forever.
I am using adw ex version not sure if it works in free.

I have the exact same problem with the free version. Dropping apps on top of each other does not work and trying to create one by long pressing an open space on the home screen just makes that window disappear. I figured it was something with my root and re-rooted the NT, but it unfortunately didn't change anything.
Not much help from me other than saying you are not alone fr3dw0rth.
I downloaded the newest version of ADW ex from mobilism and I am able to create folders. I think it runs a lot better than go launcher
Is there an option to rename the photo/video once captured?
Open gallery and any;
Tap photo > phone menu > rename
Tap on video > tap again (do it's full screen) > phone menu > renameVideo
You can also use any file explorer to rename any file as well. Just Babita navigate to the file (sdcard/DCIM for camera photos and videos), long tap and you will have a list of options, including rename.

What gallery app is that?? The GS3 Gallery app should have icons next to the selections and all of the selections that are in the post above yours. And did you try scrolling down the list?
Just the standard gallery app.
I am using the CM ZOOM rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698273).. if that changes anything

Instructions posted twice previously. And the OP didn't bother to try...... or answer
Maybe try another gallery app from the market? Plenty to choose from, probably better than stock.

Not of your renaming multiple files in the same session
The thread title or OP did not state it must rename with gallery.... (do I gave two options).
So if you must use a "gallery" app exclusively to rename, using a different gallery app to what you have, then your problem will be solved
Please let's us know if it works ok, and then rename thread to [solved]. Cheers

So in the Play Store app, in settings, you UNchecked the option "Auto-add shortcuts"? I ask, because you said you unchecked "create shortcut", but I don't have that option with that exact name on my phone...
is it the same app creating shortcuts or all the apps you [email protected]？
if it is one app, if it creats shortcut everytime you run it, it is created by application. If it creates sjortcut everytime you downloaded and inatalled it, it is created by play market.
are you using touch wiz home or 3rd party home app？if it is 3rd party home and was told no room on screen while actually you have, there may be some incompatibily and you can try other home app or report the issue to developer.

Hello. Got my VZW Galaxy Note 2 on launch day. Really really liking it a lot.
Of course I went through and did the usual "disabling" of apps.
After doing that, I have since realized that the Gallery doesn't have a Photo Editor, not does it have a Video Editor. I was told these needed to be downloaded.
I thought I remembered disabling the Samsung App Store, but for the life of me I can't find it on my device.
I guess I'm looking for the actual name of the app, because maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing?? Or if someone has a link to download the Galaxy Note 2 Photo and Video Editors, that would be great too.
Thanks a lot.

I think I found it. "S Suggest" looks like where the apps are.
And you're right. Usually at the bottom. That's what had me so tripped up. Haha.
Anyways, still can't find the Photo Editor, nor the Movie Editor apps for the Note 2.
Anybody have any ideas/suggestions?

I had the same problem and havnt been able to solve the video one but the photo one I did. Just install the photo editor apk as a sideload app or you can just hold the button on the spen and longpress the screen. It will take a screenshot and let you draw on it.

OK - so I like the "editor" that comes up when you take a screenshot with the S-pen (hold button and long press the screen). How can I use that editor when I am in the gallery and use the "Advanced edit" menu item?
I installed the apk linked to earlier, and now the advanced edit menu gives me a choice of the linked apk and the Paper Artist app. Is the one that happens with the screenshot function an integrated part of the screenshot application??

Its a feature (that mind you doesn't cross platforms) that allows you to simulate writing on the back of your pictures to remember what they were or where they were taken, etc.

So you actually need the photo editor to be able to draw on a pic to like add a wig to someone or a missing tooth etc.. you cant just draw on a pic without the editor?

My experience is this. If I go into the gallery and open up a picture, I can then hit the menu button and I'm greeted with many options. If I choose However, "Draw on Image" only flips over the picture and lets me draw on the back, not what I want to do. If I scroll down and click on "Advanced Edit", I get the option of choosing either "Photo Editor" , or "Paper Artist". If I choose "Photo Editor", I get the popup message that says, " Photo Editor is not installed on the device. Download Photo Editor?" If I choose "Download", nothing happens. I've tried numerous times and the phone does not link me to the play store or any other app store to download Photo Editor. While I know I am able to sideload the apk, most new customers using the phone for the first time are going to be awfully frustrated when they want to do the one thing Samsung is pushing in their Lebron and family commercial here in the U.S. Not good.
