New Google now commands - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Had an update to Google search this morning. Supposedly it now allows apps to be launched.
So far I can only get Gmail to open. Tried searching for more info but no luck.
Anyone else discovered what else opens? Is it just a few Google apps that work or is it up to the devs to allow their stuff to launch.
Edit: clock and calculator works, settings & browser doesn't

Thanks but these are old commands.
The new ones only became available today after doing the update, cant find these ones listed anywhere. There is an actual link in Google now but it just opens the default help section.

Push email on stock app?

I want to use the samsung email client since well... i like the widget on the desktop. I don't see an option to PUSH in settings. The quickest I see is to check every 5 minutes. Did I not set up the email correctly or what is it?
I had a push option earlier when I first entered my gmail account info but had to delete it because the push was being random. Having readded the account there isnt a push option any longer.
Help?
maybe this can help you..its for the s3 but should be the same..

Holy crap, talk about thread necromancy. OP is from May 2011.
Does anyone have any news on this subject?
Push email was available on the native S2 email client.
I vote for native apps first.
I tried the advice inside the android forum link, it works (gmail with exchange) but is sucks too much data in stand by.

This thread is in the galaxy s2 forum. Looks like you're a galaxy s3 user?
Yes, but since the op complained of a similar problem on the s2, i thought there is a connection.

I updated to the new Market today and now when I try to launch it I get a message that I need to login to Google first. Please excuse the brain fart but I can't figure out how to login to Google. I mean I am already logged in o Google as demonstrated by my being able to view my Google mail. I even went to the Google webpage and logged in there.
Any suggestions?
TIA

Try "clear data"
go to setting>applications>manage applications and find the market and clear data
It may be a Google problem. Mine is downn also. I can't sync gmail either right now.

Clear data and clear cache did not work
EDIT: Clear updates did the trick. Those having a similar problem should try this. Please give me a thanks if it works for you.
EDIT2: Installing the new Market a second time worked. This new Market looks weird. Jut a matter of a newlearning curve.
Thanks!
Yeah looks like a google thing because mibe is also down and I've done everything I can think of except restoring my phone.

App removal

How do you remove apps from your account name so they dont install when you load a new rom?

i haven't had much issue with this personally so i'm not 100% sure.
my best guess would be, perhaps you're able to manage your market account on their web site and remove the applications? http://market.android.com and login with the account linked on your device.
i know once you purchase an application, there never seems to be a remove option. although, if the application was free, removing it once, should keep it removed from your account.
i'm sure anybody with more experience will post up. hope that helps!
choose not to backup your apps with google when running the setup wizard
Ahh duuhh thanks guys

Gmail 4.2 from Play Store!

Figured I'd share for those of you who use gmail on a regular basis. You can download the newest release of gmail from the play store. To enable the zoom feature (which is completely awesome) go into the general settings in gmail and then check the box to enable auto-fit.
Didn't even notice it auto updated. Thanks!

Excellent find OP. This setting has been a looooooooooooong time coming and was desperately needed.
l had the modded version with the Swype to delete but I reinstalled the original with the zoom and I'm loving every minuteof it! Thanks otherwise I never would have payed attention to the update.

No Problem. Just figured I'd share it with everyone.

This is an iPhone limitation. Should not be an android limitation.

I don't post often because I usually do some searching and find my answer. Not the case this time.
When I had an iPhone I was annoyed that it was not possible to choose defaults to override certain functions. For instance, you can't change the default browser. That's just one example, but there are many more.
After switching to android I thought I'd be all set. And for the most part I am. However, I still have not figured out how to modify one behavior that's bothering me: control of what happens when hyperlinks are clicked. The particular example I am thinking of right now is eBay.
I have the eBay app installed. So, whenever I click an eBay link - whether it's in a browser, an email, or another app - I want it to open the eBay app. I don't ever want it to open the eBay web page in the browser. Same goes for all the other apps I have installed. Another example - using the xda app. If I have the xda app installed and I get an email that includes a link to a thread here on xda, I want to view it in the xda app, not in a browser. Ever.
How do I make sure this behavior always works the way it should? It appears that some apps will ask what behavior you want to use as default. But that doesn't seem to work 100%. Our the setting isn't sticking. I don't know.
its not androids fault, its the app/web developers... tumblr makes great use of defaults but no other app seems to...

Is it a limitation caused by the "from" app or the "to" app?
For instance, I just got an email that there was a reply to this thread. When I click on the link in the Gmail app, there is no option to use the xda forum app to open the link. Is that a fault of the Gmail app, or the xda app?
I'd say the "to" app. I use tapatalk and any xda link gives me the option to open the forum in the app

I say its both both sides can be programmed to do it. the app can intercept links and webpages can add app specific buttons
tumblr has app specific buttons (open in app) and YouTube intercepts most links (thus when you click a YouTube link the app opens)
