My first android phone is SGS3 and ...
I have so very many questions I dont even know where to start. Just like it said in the video I am a noob so this might even be in the wrong section.
For the starters a few questions come to mind (and yes, I did use the search button, viewed tens maybe hundreds of forum pages) so please would someone be so kind and help me with following
1] In the browser, when I click bookmarks, I find local but under that two other empty folders with my gmail adress but both empty. How do I remove them?
2] How to properly setup mail for exchange. I have my gmail and hotmail accounts added. Sometimes they work sometimes they dont and how the widget updates is really beyond me.
3] One thing that really bothers me since I like to keep my devices clean and arranged is uninstalling apps and games. I noticed that after uninstalling some files remain.
4] Another thing is that mostly with trial versions of apps, I cant seem to find them anywhere in my files folder therefore I cant check if after uninstalling all the junk is removed.
Besides that I can say that the phone is pretty good although the build and the pentile is kinda let down but enough has been said on this forum on that subject.
Thank you for your answers.

Honestly, I recommend using Google Chrome. You can download it from the market.
The folders with your Gmail address are for sync across devices. Afaik it can be disabled by System Settings->Accounts&Sync->[Email address]->untick "Sync Browser"

What ROM are you on? System Settings->About phone. ALEx-Builds have issues with Exchange (at least mine always did).

The same issue as on all computers... messy apps. The files on the sdcard do not really belong to the app so Android cannot delete them automatically. I agree that it's a terrible chaos after trying out several apps which is very annoying. Sadly that issue is present with all computers including GNU/Linux, Windows, ...

You cannot see the app installation folder since the system hides them. All you can see is the before-mentioned junk.
The files in the correct folder (=the one you cannot see) are always correctly removed.

You must have very good eyes to see the difference between Pentile and RGB matrix. Are you even sure you relaly know what the difference is and what it means for you?
new also to SGSlll
I'm also new to the SGSlll and I have a the same questions that were answered and it helped a lot but I got a couple of my own if it's not to imposing to ask,
1) Somehow the green call button that used to be beside the number or the name of the contact in the logs section disappeared and I know I can swipe to call it, but I would like that button back because it is easier for me. I don't know whether this was gone from the recent update.
2) why is there some games and apps that I can't find in play store, I tried to DL them from the Internet and it said you can't DL them in your country (Egypt) is there anything I could that will allow me to DL them?
3) Is there any ways to create a folder so that I can put all the games together for example??
Thank you very much and sorry for the inconvenience as I said am still new to andriods.

Have you checked the Settings? I'm not on a Samsung-Rom so I cannot test for myself.
I can recommend Go Contacts EX (free in Play Store) if you want a fully customizable Dialer.

Restrictions can be imposed on multiple levels
- Hardware specs (notably display resolution)
- Android Version
- Hardware name
- Country
- Carrier
In your case it seems to be the country. There are multiple descriptions on XDA and other sites, but afaik all of them include using a Proxy server. It's not trivial but unfortunately the only method for accessing them from the Play Store.

Not on the stock launcher afaik. You can create folders on the home screen but not in the app drawer.
There exist several other free Launchers in the Play Store capable of creating folders, try them out.

You can create folders in the apps drawer by clicking the left menu button > edit. Then drag an app (you should be able to see an empty folder icon at bottom left corner) and mount it over the folder icon. The app will now appear in a folder. Rest of the apps can be moved to the folder as well and you can name it whatever you like. Be sure to save the setting at top right corner. This folder can also be dragged to the home screen menu. Hope this helps.
Thanks a lot for the replies everything helped except,

Yes I've checked settings and nothing and I do know about Go Contacts but that's not what I need. I event did factory restore settings to see what went wrong and nothing don't know what to do really.

That works well, did not know this. Personally I like to use Apps Organizer by Fabio Collini (on the Market for free). It also gives u the opportunity to create folders with your themed apps (i.e. games / tools / navigation / ...) The advantage here is that you can select your own icon for the folder to go on your home screen. Especially if you have a lot of themed folders (like I do) you can create a much nicer look this way.

The call button on the right side was removed in the LFB update. Samsung probably thought it was redundant and I agree with that. They could have made it optional though.
At the moment there's no way to get that back unless you replace that particular apk (dialer.apk maybe) with the older version of it.

That's fully configurable. Dropbox doesn't upload anything except you actually tell it to.
Go to Settings->Accounts->Sync and disable the Sync accounts and settings you do not need or want.
I'd recommend syncing Contacts+Bookmarks through Google and using SMS Backup+ to sync call logs and SMS.
With those present, even a lost/broken device would be acceptable in terms of data loss to me.

Current Version:3.1.3
Requires Android:1.5 and up
size:3.2MB
V3.1.3 update:
New Android Market / Adds +1 For Apps And Games, Pin Number For Purchases, And More…
(for all devices – does not require root, but you do need to enable ‘Unknown Sources‘ in Settings-> Applications.)
There’s a brand-new settings menu, as well as click-to-read explanations of app permissions (not developer customizable, unfortunately). There’s also a brand-new Market icon to spruce things up.
Oh, and did we mention you can now use a custom PIN for purchases on your phone, instead of leaving your Google Checkout wide open for anyone that picks up your device? If you have kids, or your phone is stolen, this is one awesome feature to have – and really, it makes a lot of sense.

Install Normally Right Over The Old Market. As For The Exact Name, When You're In The Market And Let's Say You Want Google Maps. Type In Google Maps Hit Enter. Exit Out Of It Go Back In When You Touch The Search Area It's Gonna Pop Up Right Away As Your Last Search Or You Hit The Letter G And It Will Have Google Maps First.

to get the apps sorted better i prefer using a different launcher. Launcher pro is the one i use but any of them will put them in alphabetical. Cant believe samsung dont have an option in touchwiz to do that, seems quite a basic omission.
email i just use the stock one but k9 email is also pretty good.
not sure what you mean by the voice commands, you should just tap the home button twice and the voice control screen comes up
Best email: K9 Mail.

true and i fully agree with you and the way you sort folders in touchwiz is pretty **** compare to the go launcher..but still i think the update of touchwiz fixes all of that now
It now comes installed with Facebook and i don't want another camera icon in my app drawer. I'm using touch wiz so using another launcher is out of the question. I've checked Tibu and it doesn't see it. I'm sure others would find this info useful as well.

Sorry don't have an answer, but you're not the only one. I've been trying to find a way to remove the redundant camera and messenger app icons as well.
I've figured the best solution is to reinstall an older version, but then we'll never get any of the newer patches/updates without a solid solution.
Dont use the stock app. Use the app called "fast facebook" it is locally made from here at XDA and makes facebook browsing way better.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.fastfacebook.com&hl=en
I just noticed the new icons and wrote a quick app to remove them. Unfortunately it doesn't work since 3rd-party apps can't get access to "android.permission.CHANGE_COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE" (which makes sense) and can only disable icons for their own application. Going to see if root helps...
Root did the trick, Facebook Icon Remover. Hope it helps and let me know if you run into any issues.

It certainly could. There is a little detective work involved with figuring out the package/component names (they are hard coded in this app) but I am already working on extending this to allow the disabling/hiding of any application icon.

The app is using the 'pm' (package manager) command to disable two components (activities) in the Facebook package. It probably won't work if you've already uninstalled it. The components should be part of the com.facebook.katana-2.apk package (that's how it was named on my devices, both in /data/app/). You could try reinstalling Facebook, using this tool and then uninstalling to see if that removes the icons.

ICS users can simply select the 'Hide applications' from the action bar in the application drawer and then tap the applications to hide. You can then select 'Show hidden applications' from the application bar to un-hide them. I don't have an ICS device on me and only have one day experience with it (just got my Galaxy Tab 2 yesterday) but hope this helps. If not let me know and I can provide more detailed steps tonight.

Nevermind I removed manually the fb.katana from /data/app and its folder in /data/data and everything disappeared. Yay!
The only thing left is in Settings>apps managemente>all, there's still the com.facebook.katana listed even tho I already uninstalled all updates, weighting 0.0B and with the SD card icon. I tried to look for it in the SD directory but I found nothing. It's not a big deal in the end but I'm a perfectionist.
This also happened for Gmail and Google Quicksearch Box, while for Wisepilot after a reboot the broken SD link was gone.

I may have been given incorrect information regarding the "Hide Applications" being a stock option in ICS. Can you try the attached apk and see if it works for you on ICS? If it doesn't work then any logcat output you can send would help me troubleshoot (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat if you don't have a way to view/save logcat logs already).
Thanks for the apk. It did work on my HTC One S.

I have media on my tablet. When I don't want to show it on my phone I prefix the file with a period in a file manager app.
That method isn't working on me prime. I do not want to use an app to accomplish this. Suggestions?
get the free app called quick pic. allows you to hide what ever folder or pix you want. it works great.
Seriously off topic. Should be posted in the general Android section. Actually Google would tell you the answer in about 30 seconds...

I see the XDA Gestapo is making an appearance.
Put them in any folder with a name starting with a period. You could make for example: "/sdcard/.secretpornfolder"
I also recommend Quick Pic but just pointing out that the stock gallery app is extremely buggy and even after putting a nomedia file in a folder you want to hide it doesn't start hiding the folder until you wipe the data of the gallery app so that it refreshes the folder list. Don't bother with it though and use Quick Pic instead.

Ha! Good one
Run into this one - I use HIDE IT PRO - apart from media files you can lock and hide apps etc - I use it mostly to hide bloatware from my apps list as I find it annoying. But easy interface for hiding and restoring pictures and nice audio manager interface would help many of you guys when your wives get hands on your tablet to play solitaire and not finding applications or pictures you wanted to share
Not like I encourage anyone to do anything bad to they beloved wives, but...
So, my gallery app is so slow that it is almost unusable. If I open it, I get a bunch of blank boxes that take forever to populate. I think it has something to do with me checking 'sync picasa', 'sync facebook', etc. options when I setup the phone. Can somebody tell me how to unsync these galleries? I went to the Facebook account settings and unchecked sync pictures, but I still have a bunch of albums and it's crazy slow.
Any ideas?
the picasa sync option is in your google account section of the menu.

Yeah, I already ended up unchecking the sync pictures boxes for Facebook and for Picasa. But the albums are still there in gallery. Maybe I should clear data for gallery or something?

After waiting a while, and they have the picasa and facebook icons. So it's still pulling my galleries off the web, even though it is no longer synced. I also wiped the gallery app data, and they are still there. I think that is why the app is so freaking slow for me.
you could try uninstalling facebook and try running a 3rd party facebook app. I personally can't stand the stock facebook app for crap like this and the way its always running.
as far as picasa, if you use it, i'm not sure what else could be done. if you dont't use it, you can remove a lot of its functions via the pc. and that would clear that up.
I have a tip for you OP.
Turn off Wifi then try using your Gallery.
Not really a solution for the stock gallery but I've used Quickpic for as long as I can remember and it's always fast, reliable, and no sync issues to deal with. Currently I use that for normal picture management and use the stock gallery in the rare instance I need Picasa or Facebook photos synced.
Yeah I have found I have this issue if I am connected to wifi at my house.. I know the reason too. Looks like the phone is trying to connect to my networks dlna server (plex) which for whatever reason it is unable to do.. I just removed allshare and the problem is gone.. you can either rename the three or so files in your app dir (if you have root) or you can install a ROM as most of them give you an option to not install allshare.
