Samsung: Page 19

My buddy gave me his MHL adapter but it doesn't work on my phone. Am I doing something wrong?

Can't get my 64GB microsd card recognized or working. Tried formatting it but no go.

How do I block calls? A number that I don't know keeps calling me. Is there a way to block it?

Dropped my phone and now the screen is busted. Not getting an touches recognized now. How can I fix this myself? I don't wanna buy another Galaxy S 3.

How do I update my Galaxy S 3 to Jelly Bean? I have AT&T if that helps.

I use to have an iPhone, how do I get them to sync?

My device is encrypted as I use Exchange for business, but whenever I try to update my device, it says "Unable to update new software. Device is encrypted. Decrypt?"

Hopefully this isn't too dumb of a question...

Samsung bucked the trend and threw hard keys onto the Galaxy S3 while most manufacturers are going the soft key route. This hack will add on-screen buttons to your TouchWiz-based ROM.

I'm running the FreeSG3 rom for Sprint and while I like it, the stock look is getting a little boring. I see themes on the Play store but they're mainly for CM or launchers.

Every time I plug in headphones, I get a row of apps on the notification bar. I never use them and it just takes up space. Can I turn this off somehow?

Seems like all the pictures I take are coming out blurry. I don't think it's the phone because my friends S3 takes great pictures. Did I get a faulty phone?

It's alarming and annoying, especially in quiet places or meetings.

I just switched from AOKP to a Touchwiz based rom -- while the rom is somewhat trim, I feel like there's a lot of Samsung and Sprint stuff that I can freeze so it doesn't eat up my resources.

I just rooted my phone but I can't figure out how to set up free tethering. It was really the only reason I rooted since I have unlimited data. Is there an easy way to do it?

I saw a Google commercial showing off a new type of panorama picture called Photosphere. My phone recently updated but I can't find this feature. Do I need to install soemthing?

I just switched from CM10 to a Touchwiz based rom (FreeGS3) but my battery life is terrible. My Android System usage is always around 70-80%, so I'm pretty sure that's the culprit.

I just flashed AOKP on my phone and love the on screen buttons, but I really don't like have the hardware buttons there. I know I can't remove them or anything, but can I disable them?

I've read through rooting instructions, and I need to flash a .tar file, but the flashing software Odin is only for PC. Is there another root method I can use?

I recently rooted my S3 (finally!), but want to update to the newest TWRP recovery. Right now I have ClockworkMod but I hear that TWRP is better for this phone.

My wifi signal seems to be much weaker on my S3 than it was on my last phone. Is there anything I can do to increase that?

Is there a way I can transfer files from my computer to my phone without a cable?

Anyone out there got one? I need one that can operate in the United States and overseas across multiple frequencies.

What is the fastest (and best) way to create a call rejection list? I want to also have the ability to play specific messages to certain numbers. Can I do this through my carrier or do I need to download an app? Please excuse my ignorance as I just broke free from my iPhone.

When not being paranoid about my personal information being compromised, to some degree, by pretty much every application on my phone, I return to practical matters I can actually control.

I take a great personal interest in what are classified as "Man In The Middle" (MITM) attacks. First they are one of the hardest forms of surveillance to detect.

As much as I love my Samsung Galaxy S3, I'm always on the lookout for cool features I can borrow from other smartphones. One of the most recent "borrowed" features I've added to my S3 is the Galaxy Note 2's smart rotation feature, which uses the front camera to detect my face-to-screen angle, which then rotates my screen accordingly.

I am going to create an S4 Forum. But in the meantime, and until the product has an official release date, why don't we use this area to discuss all the rumors, which must obviously be true if they are on the Internet, to satisfy our intense inner hunger for gossip. Delicious!

Anything about battery life and tips - both of a technical and common sense nature - goes here. Candidly, battery life is one of the Achilles' Heel issues on all smartphone and not just the S3. Chances are if you aren't physically mobile you have your phone plugged in and being re-charged a sizable percentage of the time.

Yeah, I know, a forum isn't a dictionary but a shared vocabulary makes things a hell of a lot easier. You know, a vocabulary in which an apple is an apple and an Android isn't an Apple. This includes device specific language, technical terms and of course slang.

I have been trolling WonderHowTo for the past 3 years (actually since I began to root Android and jailbreak iOS smartphones, that is, if you actually consider Apple products to be "smart."). Anyway, I started this forum because I actually bricked a few phones - which, as you can imagine, really screwed up my day - and wanted a place in which we could share lessons learned (or whatever).

Got a Samsung tablet with an S Pen stylus? Then you might be one of the many people irked about having to manually choose a different keyboard layout after pulling the S Pen out of the device.

The Samsung Galaxy S III is undoubtedly a great phone, but still has some minor issues to work out.

Google Now is an extremely intelligent personal assistant that automatically updates and prepares the most pertinent information for you on your Android device. Traffic updates, alternatives routes, weather conditions, and other important data is constantly being monitored and updated for you.

SNAP. That's the sound of your Samsung Galaxy S3's camera going off. Not that big of deal, unless you're trying to take some top secret pics or some candid shots of your friends. The shutter sound gives you away, and the next thing you know, you're deleting pictures.

One of the main reasons why the Samsung Galaxy S III has dethroned Apple's iPhone 4S as the best-selling smartphone in the world is due to Android's open-source operating system. The vast spectrum of customization that comes with Android has become one of its focal points, allowing n00bs and programmers alike to build and destroy.

With the new Samsung Galaxy Note II, there's a new Multi Window mode that allows users to run two different apps simultaneously on the tablet's screen. This feature works with Samsung and Google apps like Gmail, YouTube, Chrome and Talk.

With the Samsung Galaxy S III being a hot commodity, it's no surprise that your friends might try unlocking your fancy password-protected phone. While some friends have good intentions when using your phone, there are those certain friends who get into the phone to do this...

Many people drop their phone, resulting in the dreaded cracked screen.

With Sprint already rolling out their Jelly Bean updates to Samsung Galaxy S III owners here in the United States, international users have already had a chance to check out Android's newest OS on their S3, but all is not gravy.
