Hi everyone,
First of all it's my pleasure to join your forum, and I wish to be an active member and helpful as much as I can.
I bought galaxy s3 lately and I was unable to figure somethings.
1- I searched everywhere for a "device options" shortcut icon app and I couldn't find it, so is there any way to get it without holding the power button?
* the "device option" menu shows when holding the power button, and it contains power off and restarting options.
2- how can I stop charging the device when connecting it to my computer through a usb cable?
I may ask you another questions if I didn't find answers on the internet...
Thanks in advance,
& Best regards.
Welcome to xda.
1. What exactly are you expecting to see when you say "device options"? All settings are covered in the "Settings" app.
2. There is no way to stop charging when connecting via USB. Don't worry, it's completely safe. Battery is really precious on any smartphone; you'll soon find the more opportunities you get to charge it, the better.

Thanks for your fast reply.
1- The point from using a shortcut is not to use the physical buttons frequently, that's why I need a shortcut for the "device options menu", and the "device options menu" shows when you hold and press on the power button, the "device options menu" shows the restart, and power off options.
* Please be noted that I already found some apps on play store but they require your device to be rooted, and to be honest I am not comfortable with that.
2- So I think the only way to transfer files between the phone and the computer without charging is witlessly if I am not wrong, and please confirm this info for me.
I got another inquires if you don't mind...
3- Is there any way for a forward button or lets say undo back button, as sometime let's say on play store when I am searching for something and accidentally pressing the soft back button, so is there any way to undo this step, and get back on the same page?
4- How to search for a word in play store, for example when reading the reviews on some app, I need to search for a certain word in the reviews page, like when browsing the internet on my PC, if I want to search for a word I'll simply press "Ctrl + F", so how to do it on my phone?
Thanks for your reply, appreciate it.
1 - this is a developers forum. The assumption of being a member of this forum is that you're here to learn to modify your device and that starts with root. If you're not comfortable with root, this probably isn't the forum for you. It is not a help forum. I'd try android forums
2 - yes.
3 - not that im aware
4- no

Take it easy my friend, I know it's a development forums, and actually I am planning to be an Android developer in the near future, but for now I am just learning the basics, so forgive me for not being comfortable with rooting my device at least for now.
Thanks for your advice and answers
Regards.
Im just answering your questions and giving you the benefit of my experience.

I am in need of a app to help with presentations during youth meetings in my church. I need something along the lines of ipad's keynote + airplay so that powerpoint presentations with notes can be stored and displayed via upnp/dlna from my tablet on our presentation screen- I dont always have time to load the powerpoints to the pc and make the small format changes that always seem to be required when you copy a ppt file to another computer and since the pc has both xbmc and windows media center and the screen has a apple tv something should be doable. If this already exsists please link it 'cuz I have been wearing out search xda and google. In review I need to see thumbnails of my slides and see my notes on the tablet and wirelessly display my slides on the screen.
Not sure what the best option for this is. I will also be looking into this. Right now I just use Evernote on my Android for Wednesday night youth lessons. But I can definitely see the benefit to having something that can give me a presenter view for a slide show... Not sure if there is anything but it would be nice if we could find something or if someone could develop something...

I thank you for enforcing the rules (even hit the thanks buton) but do need to say that you did so in a very rude way.
[begin rant]
I posted in the SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT forum because I was trying to kill two birds with one stone as the saying goes by asking if such software had been developed and if not to maybe give a SOFTWARE DEVELOPER an idea for a SOFTWARE to DEVELOP. Therefore I thought to be encouraging development. I understand that you did not see it this way and respect the rule of the mod - I understand the need for "mod word is law" policy and " iron fist " - I just wish you had done so in a less rude way - maybe explain your reasoning - basicly I'm saying follow the rule that says respect other members- would help keep noobs around so they can learn more and one day contribute back to this community.
[/end rant]
This thread should now go back on topic and stay there please.
Anybody have any solutions?
one final bump before i let this thread die.
Bump!
Hello,
Just wondering whether anyone had any ideas on this.
I use a PC at work all day but quite often want to use GTalk to chat to people. Unfortunately my company blocks it so I can't use a browser to chat but obviously I can through my phone.
I used to have an HTC Desire that was rooted so that allowed me to use droidvnc to connect to my phone from my PC via vncviewer using USB(There's no wifi here).
It then meant I could type on my keyboard which makes things a whole lot easier when you're in the middle of something.
Basically now I've gone to an HTC One X I'm just wondering whether there's any app or anything that would let me do the same thing but without rooting the device as I don't want to invalidate any warranties just yet.
So in summary I'm really after a bit of software to let me remote control my phone via USB for the purpose of using GTalk or any other ideas anyone might have to get round it
Thanks

pointless post, fair enough he could search but also you couldve explained more about the rule/guidelines.also its said that if you have not anything useful to post then dont
- to the O.P i think you need to look in your messages folder and its somewhere along the lines of service messages that will need disabling
Was not talking about the first rule. People should not post before reading the rules, there's nothing pointless about that
pointless as in meaning your not helping anyone in any way,let the moderators do there job and if you get the urge to help them then rightfully press the report button and report it,
Thanks to the person that actually helped. Looking into it that way. The other guy, don't mini-mod.. He's right, if you want to report the post, go for it - otherwise don't try bump your post count up here.
Cheers
I'm also getting this. turned off all mobile broadcast options in settings and still getting them. they are only area codes like 020 or 0170 etc. or strings of area codes like that. quite annoying
Suggest one of the CM discussion threads .
jje
Turn alert notification ON in mobile broadcast but untick everything else.
I have no idea why it's backwards, it just is.
Had the same problem (in UK too). Quick googling suggested to delete "Mobile Broadcast Receiver" application. Since then no broadcasts anymore!
OK, so I've been trying to fix this for a while now wondering if it's something that I've done wrong but with no success.
Here's my problem.
I rooted my S3 mini (GT-I8190N) running on 4.1.2 using this guide. Everything worked great, had no problem using it to root the phone at all.
After I removed all the 3rd party pre-installed crap -facebook- and finished setting up the phone the way I like it, I noticed that the hotspot was no longer working!
So I tried using hotspot apps, re-rooting, resetting and even leaving it off for a while just to see if anything would happen. It did not.
After looking around a few people have had this issue but I've not been able to find a working fix for mine. Could anyone point me in the direction of one please or advise me on how to fix this as I use it a lot.
Thanks.
Sorry, this is not the s3 mini forum. Completely different phone. Please use the /!\ report button to have a moderator move your post to the correct location.
We can't give advice on different phones

The moderators here only close threads, they do not delete them. You have to use the report system to send a request to the moderators to close your thread. View this forum thread using an internet browser, go to the your thread using the browser, then look at the border around your first post in that thread, look for an orange triangle or an "!" symbol, click that symbol and it will open a page to make your report, type in what you want them to do and then select the dropdown menu that shows the "reason for this report" and select the "thread/post maintenance or moving" option then send the report.
Any time that you have something to say or request about a post or thread, use the report system to bring it to the Admin/Moderators' attention, otherwise, they won't know and they won't see it. The Moderators don't go looking through threads looking for posts like the one that you made above. They rely on the users here to use the report system to inform them of requests and problems because there are too many threads here for them to check them all individually every day.
