Coolest feature you've found?

[Wisheezy]

i dunno what else to tell ya. i just drag my notification bar down, and while the drawer is open, i tap the clock in the very top right corner. doesnt work when the drawer is closed though.

Okay okay so i'll drag down the notification draw and where all my quick options are (sync, driving mode etc) i tap the little clock on the top right?

Yup, that's it. You might have to add a couple clocks to your world clock first, though

I wake up every morning to my S3 saying, "Good Morning Keith, it's 4:00 AM"

what do you have to set to get it to say your name?

"Name" the alarm with, "Good Morning, (insert your name)"

Um, yeah, but that is really insecure, anyone will be able to play with my phone than :-(.

How secure do you need a phone to be? Mine is in my pocket or I am using it. I don't see how someone could sneak into my pocket to play with my phone without me knowing. Do you leave yours unattended at the local bar?

I don't get the whole enter a code every time I wake my phone up mentality.

I agree.

I just have an alarm that sounds very loud when my phone is picked up. I did originally put this on so I know when my one year old son gets hold of my phone

Hehe, just set the dear wife's alarm for tomorrow morning - and I didn't type "good morning"...

This is going to one tip she will not be pleased with...

I named my alarm good morning jack. It sounded the normal alarm but I could read it it on screen. What did I do wrong?

not your palm, rather the edge of your hand... like, hold your right hand out with your palm down, rotate it 45 deg, and drag from right to left with the bottom edge of your hand.

Are you pressing the on/off button as well as the home button at the same time then letting go?

Where is this test?

To access this menu, open up the Dialer, hit Menu > Call settings and then

 

[tcope]

Here is one that I'm sure 99.99999999% of you know about as it's very basic. I just never used it before so I did not know about it. The 6 dots on the home screen and the dots on the app menu... hold your thumb or finger on them for a moment. You can then slide back and forth to quickly few all of the screens. This is nice if you have several widgets on the home screens and want to look at them all quickly.

This post just gets better and better. As phones get more featured filled and instruction books less easy to follow we could do with one of these each time a new top end phone comes out. I learn something new each day

 

[Putty]

Great thread. Learned alot!!

 

[loomer]

Your TV has to be equipped with DLNA, and connected to your home network. Phone must also be on wifi. While playing the video in the Video Player app on your phone, at the top left of the screen is an icon that is present if it detects other DLNA deivces on your home network. Click on the icon, and choose the device you want to play the video on. As a note, this will also work on computers and laptops that are on the network that have media sharing/DLNA middle ware on it.

Set the alarm type to "Briefing"

"All Share" feature works with my new Samsung LED Smart tv. i can
transfer all the pictures and videos i take with the phone to the tv
via bluetooth.

I have a Phillips HD TV but its not an internet TV. However I have a Sony streaming box hooked up to it. This does not allow full internet access only Sony services, Lovefilm and Iplayer. So I was not expecting to be able to use this feature. I just turned the TV and the Sony box on and then started to play a film on my phone (using the Samsung player). I then tapped the top left corner of the screen and within a second the film was perfectly playing on the TV in full HD glory. Wow, awesome, try doing that with an Iphone.
