Thank you.
That is exactly what happened. When I got the phone, I signed in during set up. After I did the factory reset, I DIDN'T sign in until later, and I did opt out for the backing up the apps. With that it took over 48 hours after sign in for the contacts and calendar to sync.
The irony of the whole thing is now when I go into the play store (stupid name) from the phone, it doesn't show ANY of the apps from the other phones LOL
It's all or nothing LOL
Thanks again
The contacts should sync. Make sure you don't disable that. If you do, just go into Settings > Accounts > click the google account, check contacts and then hit sync. You'll get your contacts instantly.
Your second problem is just weird. Clear the data on the play store on your phone. Do you know how to do that?
Haven't been able to find anything on this issue... I just got an s3 yesterday and I soon noticed that my battery was draining more quickly than I had expected (heard the battery was supposed to be pretty good).
I checked my battery usage stats and it said that bluetooth had used 33% of my power, even though it was never turned on (CPU time was listed at a little over an hour, however). It's not a huge issue, but a third of my battery being devoted to something i literally never use seems a bit absurd. Anyone run into a similar problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Ok, quick correction/lesson: When it says an app/service uses 33% in the battery report, it means it used 33% of used power. So, for simple math: If you used 50% of your battery (according to the overall battery readout) and it said bluetooth used 50%, it really means Bluetooth used 25% of the battery.
Simply put, it means "of what you used, these used the following percent". But still, 33% of any significant battery usage (33% of 50% is still high for bluetooth usage) is absurd for a radio that was turned off. I would recommend a factory reset. If the problem doesn't go away after that, return it. You likely, and unfortunately, have a defective bluetooth radio. It happens, so a replacement is probably required.
I have a few documents formatted as mobi files. If I put the documents on the kindle directory of the internal storage, Kindle works. If I put the documents on the external SD card, kindle reader does not see them. I assume this is a kindle reader limitation, not an s3 problem. Does any know how to resolve this?
I can get the FBREADER app and put the documents in the BOOK directory of the external SD card, but I don't like the FBREADER interface as much as I like Kindle.
It probably is a limitation of the Kindle reader. You should email the app author and suggest that the app look for ebooks in the external SD card, too.
