[Q] S3 Gallery Options - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On my S3, in the gallery, my friend who has the same phone has the delete icon in the top right corner when a picture is viewed in full screen, however mine is the slideshow button.
is there anyway to change it to the delete button?
my friend's came with her phone but mine didn't...
also next to it, i have the bluetooth shortcut and i was wondering if you can also change that.
Thanks

The gallery will have a slideshow button when within a folder where there are a lotta images.. The delete button will be visible when u press on any particular photo so that it is the only one on screen...
For your second qn, there are two buttons in the middle. One for share which contains all the sharing options. The next one can be set to any particular share feature (bluetooth, wifi direct etc) You need to hold the second button with one finger to change it.
Try it out. Hope I helped..

I've lost the cover-art flo menu...

Hi all,
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here but I was flicking through some of the sample tracks that came with my Hero and then I clicked on one to make it play. Now I cannot get back to the screen where you can flick left and right through the cover-art of the tracks; I can only see the lists of albums/artists etc, not the iphone like cover-flo...
Help!

There is a button in the bottom right corner while the track is playing and the music app is open to switch between cover flow and list view.
Thanks but that doesn't help. I can get the view up so that an album is displayed on the screen, but it says 1 of 1 and I cannot scroll left or rigt to other albums no matter what I do.
How frustrating, I don't get what's happened here? What could have changed?
Lol, can someone please assist, I just know the solution is right under my nose...
Not sure its the same problem but I couldnt search by cover flow either so I tried a few things
I rarely browse by artist and pick the first artist - I have found that this option gave me back the cover flow to scroll across all the albums for all artists
Strangely, album browse only gives the list view as do all the others - hope this helps a little

Go to the music app, use the bottom left button to go to music selection. Select the albums tab (second tab). Menu -> Play all. It will enqueue all your albums and you can now flick through them in a coverflow style in the main music app.
Awesome! Thanks for that. I appreciate I may seem a little stupid for not realising that's what I had to do, but come on - hardly intuitive now is it?
I agree, had the same problem for a while.

[Q] Cant delete photos

I have been trying to delete photos on my tab all day and unsuccessfully doing it. I have heard doing it from Google and Picasa but I don't upload my photos on there. I have long pressed on the photo and it doesn't give me an option to delete it just to select and ok with the check mark in the top. None of the photos were taken from the tab but were imported via bluetooth. I can't even delete screenshots. Anyone else have issues with this or know how to fix it?
So long pressing doesn't give you a trashcan icon at the top right of the screen? (just to the left of the menu dropdown for rotating and cropping)
long press the photo, see the trashcan at the top right, tap the trashcan, it will ask you to confirm delete. You don't drag it to the trashcan, you tap it. Took me a couple tries to realize that.

3rd party Gallery share no MMS?

Had my Tbolt (and I'm not rooted) a few weeks now and unhappy that the stock HTC Gallery doesn't let you share an image to MMS while the image is full screen. So I've been trying a few different gallery apps. While they seem to have much better share options, so far none of them include MMS. I've tried Fish Bowl Photo, Gallery 3D and Smart Gallery.
Is there a way to add Message (MMS) to the list of share options?
Never had this issue with my DInc and sad/suprised this is a problem on the Tbolt.
Tap the screen when the image is there, hit the double arrows button in the middle and choose messages.

LOL, awesome. I guess I was assuming it would have been the normal intuitive Menu button. I would have never figured that out accept by accident. Many, many thanks.

[Q] Setting images as wallpaper

I feel really stupid for asking this, but I have forgotten how to set images as wallpaper. I tried through the stock gallery app, but that only lets you set half of the image as the wallpaper. I've done it before, but for the life of me I can't remember how.
you can try a different gallery app. I use fishbowl and that works good just select the picture press menu, set as, wallpaper then whichever scale you want
You could also long press on an empty spot on your home screen, select wallpapers, then gallery.

Yes thank you, that was what I was thinking of!

[Q] Lock the homescreen layout when have only 1 page?

I did that in my ATT s2. However, i forgot how to. Can someone remind me this?
Right now the screen move left and right when swipping. Would like it locks in place.
Thanks
Looked to me like you could hit the menu button while at the home screen, select edit, and then drag the unused pages down to Remove...

I did remove all the empty screens. However the one page screen still moving itself a bit to left or right. How to completely lock? I think only scrolling wallpaper in TW in inter Note or ATT S2 can do it. Not our Note
