    Help Verizon trouble with mobile data

    Just picked up the SG3 on Thursday. Everything seemed OK until this morning (although I was at home on wifi all weekend). This morning I suddenly started getting time outs on mobile data. Any data app just would hang trying to load forever. I would see data transferring for a second or...

    Help Any way to get music controls on lock screen?

    Coming from an HTC. Using either the stock player or Doubletwist on my old DInc, I would get the player controls on the lock screen (without having to unlock the phone). Doesn't seem to be available on the S3. I have to unlock or open the notification area and click on the music app to open...

    DIY Dock question

    So the docks automatically trigger a "docked" mode on the phone. How? If I wanted to build my own dock from wood, legos, etc. what would I need to do in order to make it properly trigger the docked mode on the phone?

    Help Music & Pictures on internal storage disappear in apps

    I've recently developed this issue. When I open Music or Gallery, it shows "No music found!" or in the case of Gallery only shows pictures I've downloaded (nothing from my DCIM folder). If I restart the phone, they come back. Interesting note...the music player is always back to a certain...

    Help 2.2 Brightness widget and keyboard?

    So I was reading that a couple features 2.2 was supposed to add was making Auto-Brightness one of the settings on the Power widget. I'm not seeing this on my phone after the update. Is that the same for everybody or do I have to do something to make it work? (I've tried removing and re-adding...

    My Contact Card annoying

    First of all, I don't use Facebook. Now that that's out of the way, how the heck can I either get rid of this stupid superfluous contact entry or at the very least get it to sync with my contact info in Gmail? The fact that so many of the apps auto use this contact and it cannot be...

    Help Edited contact being moved and training voice recognition

    Two questions: 1. My contacts all come from Gmail (nothing else like Facebook syncing or anything). If I edit an existing contact on the phone sometimes (I think it's if I move them around in groups, like take them out of Favorites or something), they will no longer appear in the default...

    Google chat weirdness

    I seem to be having unpredictable results with my google chat. When I'm not logged into gmail on a computer, every chat shows up on my phone as I would expect. I THINK that when I'm logged into a computer and my status is AWAY, that all of the chats show up on the phone. However, when I am...

    Phantom screen touches

    Mine just started registering phantom screen touches a little while ago. It seems to think there is either and up-swipe or some kind of touch near the top of the screen randomly. For example, an email or list will constantly be scrolling up or if I leave it on a screen with Power Panel on it...

    Link directly to full brightness control?

    Is there any way to make a link directly to the brightness control that is in Sound & Display? The Power Panel is nice, but there is no way to put the brightness back on auto once you've switched it. The best shortcut I can seem to make is to Sound & Display, then I have to scroll down to...

    Accessory question

    Greetings. Looking forward to finally getting an Android phone. My wife and I have been waiting for this or the Nexus to come to VZW. I was wondering if there is a nightstand/alarm clock dock available for this like there is on the Nexus. My wife really wants that since she saw it for the...
