This is the same as any other flashlight app. The only difference is turning it on and off is instantaneous. Only draw back is the ugly 2x1 widget. I wish it were customizable and only 1x1

While not a feature of the phone, imediashare lite is a great app. I play CoD MW3 & Black Ops 2 and like to listen to my music whilst playing. The DLNA has never worked right for me and my Xbox. It would work for part of one song then stop. Well imediashare lite works great. You can share music, videos and pictures and also has some in app things to watch on your tv. You just have to be on the same WiFi network.

I used Tesla on my old phone(not a sammy) and on my GS3 lagged like crazy. Lagged when turning on and off. Annoying.

If you create an Alarm widget you can then add the alarms you want. Then touch the clock on the right to enable/disable the alarms. I have 4 on my widget.

You can long press the shortcuts in the notification screen to jump directly to the menu settings for that particular function!

Cool thread for a cool phone!

The coolest feature I have found is this:
In the calender app I'd put in an appointment I had a few miles away and put in the address. As I was getting ready to leave the house I received a notification saying that I needed to leave now to get to my appointment in time. Fantastic.

Google Now at its finest. I put addresses in all my calendar appointments now.

I didn't have to do anything else. This kinda took me by surprise because I was used to it with my apple tv and ipad but this had no setup to do, it was all automatic!
Really??? How do you do that? ANd does it work with Mac?

Go to Settings>Display>Notification Panel> You will be able to drag between shortcuts and add whatever is available in the set of shortcuts.
