    App updates

    When I just turned on the screen, there was a notification: 13 new updates. 24 updates pending. Does this mean 13 apps were actually updated? I have Google Play settings > Do not auto update apps. Look like this setting isn't working?

    3G-only version with no sim card?

    Is there a 3G-only version of the S3 that does not require a sim card? PagePlus Cellular lists this as a 3G phone that's eligible for their pay-as-you-go plans, but I haven't been able to determine which model it might be. They sell a refurb on their site for $280, which seems awfully expensive...

Sure would be nice to have a Tooltip Mode, where touching an icon would provide info instead of executing its function. Is there some way to accomplish this? Thanks! ...Steve
