How do I purchase apps via playstore? Do I need an account with Google Wallet?
Also if I downloaded a song into the phone memory can I transfer the file into the microSD card using the phone? Or must I connect to a PC to transfer the file?

Advice sifus? smile.gif

Whats the difference between the FREE Swiftkey 3 and the PAID app? Is it really better than the keyboard that comes with the S3?

I'm still trying to learn how to type on the touch screen using the keyboard layout tongue.gif

i m using the paid swiftkey3, pretty nice ... every weird shortform/weird language you type, it will remember. and its auto correct is 90% accurate for me. typing with 2-3 wrong character in a word also no problem biggrin.gif

Any difference from the free app? Is it better than the stock keyboard?
Heh, need some reviews first before I purchase it tongue.gif

But I do quite some typing in BM also. Can swiftkey also predict BM?

Guys, anyone can recommend a weather widget? The stock one that came with my phone (accuweather) is kinda laggy. Especially when I return back to the page that it is on.

Is it the widget? Or could it be that that page is almost full with apps shortcuts?

Agree that the stock one is good. Just that it seems quite laggy whenever I return to the home screen. Maybe will try to reduce the number of apps sharing the home screen with the widget tongue.gif

BTW, anyone using dolphin browser? How do I go forward in the browser (after I accidentally pressed the back button)? And when ever I try to enter a website address and press the space button it seems to automatically open the dolphin home page rclxub.gif

Smart Stay only works on certain condition. Please read the condition carefully and try to simulate again.

Got a question regarding Smart Stay. When ever the 'eye' icon appears on the top of the screen does it mean Smart Stay is active? But sometimes even when the 'eye' icon flashes, the screen dims although I'm looking at the screen.

Is it normal?

When the eye icons appear, it'll initiate the detection system using the front camera. Make sure you're facing the front camera in order to make sure that the detection is successful. Otherwise, when detection fails, it'll screen out.

Hrmm...so basically my eye must make some eye contact with the front camera? Will the screen protector effect the detection of the camera? I'm currently using matte SP sweat.gif

Guys got a few questions,

Firstly, how often do you need to charge your battery? Mine is almost every 18-20 hours. And this is with Juice defender working on balanced mode. Is this normal? Sorry but as this is my first smartphone, I'm not sure how frequent the charging should be tongue.gif

Also I'm having some lagging problem with my S3. I'm opening a web browser, mesg or whatsapp and than press the home button to go back to the front page (with the accuweather widget). It seems that most of the time that I do that, it will lag a bit in loading the widget. Is this normal? Any thing need to set?

Hope the sifu's here can advice smile.gif

Is anyone experiencing a bit of lagging whenever you press the home button on your phone? Mine is quite obvious especially when it returns to the accuweather widget.

normal slow widget redrawing issue with touchwiz

anyway.. to speed up little more.. just disable s-voice
go s-voice > left soft key > settings > uncheck "launch s voice"
*
Hmmm...any weather widget that might load faster? Anyway, if I disable s-voice will it improve the speed of the phone? Coz now it lags up when I press the home button once not twice to run s-voice tongue.gif

Feels quite weird that I see the phone lagging smile.gif

Is it possible to update my S3 software through the phone?
Setting > about deceive > software update.

Will it update to the latest software official release by Samsung?

Actually I've downloaded and installed some kind of update. What's the latest official update from Samsung? I should be able to check the version on the phone right?

Which number do I refer to?
