    Better GPS?

    I like using Google Maps turn by turn navigation. However,my Verizon Galaxy S 3 frequently gives me a "GPS signal lost" spoken message. While usually it will begin working a few seconds later,many times at critical moments the pointer in maps will just drift off the road as though it doesn't...

    Text message alerts

    Is it possible with the S3 to set up different customized alert sounds for incoming texts depending on who they're from? It should be possible it would seem to me because you can set up different ring tones for different contacts.However,I cant find such a setting.Thanks...
