Looking for Answers about samsung (Unknown)?

First, make sure you've downloaded the relevant drivers for your phone to be recognized in your computer's operating system (you'll find them on the support page). Next, once the drivers are installed, if you plug your phone into your computer via a microUSB cable, you should see a USB icon appear in your notification area. Through the Storage option under Settings, you can then choose whether your computer sees your phone as a camera or another kind of device. {ProfJonathan}

Hi!

Unfortunately I am unfamiliar with "drive" mode on your specific device. There does not seem to be any info pertaining to your inquiry in the device's user manual. Can you give us a bit more info on your inquiry. We would be happy to help as much as we can.

If you need additional assistance, feel free to reach out to us on Twitter @samsungsupport for speedy responses in the U.S.

Have a great day!

If you are referring to USB mass storage, you cannot. It can only be mounted like a camera or media device. If you use the MPT mode, you can still browse the internal storage and/or SD card by selecting the option to view files when the window pops up on a Windows operating system computer.

Go to your widgets on top of your notification screen (slide down on top). You will see all widgets and slide it to the right and you will see DRIVING MODE next to the AIRPLANE Mode. Enjoy!

Hm might wanna check your wifi. It be to far away.

I am having the exact same problem. It started three days ago. The phone is now one month old. It will spontaneously disconnect from my Wi-Fi network. When I turn Wi-Fi off and back on (on the phone) it will immediately regain my Wi-Fi network with three bars. So, yes, I am well within range of my Wi-Fi hub.

I have had this problem with previous phones. Every month or every other month when this happens I unplug my router and modem power cord. I wait for the reboot of the modem and router and it appears to fix any Wi-Fi issues I have. I have 2 phones, tablet, and 2 Xboxes in my home. This fixes the issue for me every time so it may be worth a try.

You can download Zedge from the market and download different ringtones/sounds and then modify them in the appropriate selections. It will usually pop up a window wanting to know if you want to use the internal ones, etc. Just choose Zedge. I haven't played with the alarm (and cannot look at my phone right now as it is being rooted). Just got through rooting and alarm has an option to you "my files". You can browse to where Zedge downloaded the sounds and select from there.

Yes... you just need to go into your phone settings, then select notifications, and select a different sound from the drop menu.

I couldnt hear any of the alarms but at the market I downloaded the iphone alarms and ringtones and they are the loudest. I love them. there are several to choose from

You will need to install an App2SD application. There are several out there, I would recommend checking the reviews first. It will check for apps that can be moved to the SD card.

Some apps perform worse or break if you move them, but this is rare and usually the apps say on their Google Play page if you should move them or not.

If an app "breaks", you can move it back to the phone. Uninstall/reinstalling helps the worst offenders.

From what I understand, downloaded apps from the Google Play Store cannot be moved to SD.

I have tried at least 4 different app2sd applications and none of them have worked. On another android forum I read that this is inherent to the phone. I don't know if it will even work if the phone is rooted. I am hoping that Samsung will unlock this feature in their next update, but am not holding my breath. If someone does find an app that works, I, as well as hundreds of others would be very interested.

I wound up chatting with a Samsung tech - the tech said 64 gb microSDXC cards are compatible with the S III.

The S3 can have up to a 64GB microsd card i it, however you will be unable to save apps to it. You can save pictures, videos, and music to it though.

The Galaxy S3 doesn't allow you to install apps to the microSD card. The only thing allowed to be put on your microSD card is video, photos and music.

Natively, no you can't...but it can be done, just google the same question.

Thank you for your continued interest in Samsung products.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't have that capability. However you can visit Google Play, then download and install one of the many free applications that helps find your phone.

I have a 16G S3 with 16GB SD card and a 32G S3 with a 64 GB SD card and both phones are experiencing no problems at all. Try installing DiskUsage app and see what your phone shows for memory usage on both the phone and the card.

Backup assistant only backs up contacts. If you have your device sync'd to Google, it will backup contacts and applications you have installed, but it won't backup application data. In order to do complete backups of the device, the device would need root access to all data. Just Google that info for your device. Its not for anyone not technical in nature, but it can be done.

I don't know about the LED, but for email notification:

Open the Email app
Press the menu (option) key
Select Settings
Tap the account you want to change
Scroll down to the Notification area and uncheck Email notifications.
Note: Under data usage you can set to Never check email and new email will ONLY download when you open the app and tap the refresh icon.

You don't fix. If it continues, take phone back where you bought it. If the phone was purchased from a retailer, then you have 14 days to return in many cases. The carriers has to support the device as long as you have it. Just take it back. If you purchased from a retailer, contact Samsung directly if it is to late to return it.

You can only use that smart gesture with Samsung's music player that is built in, if you are trying it on something like play music it wont work

I've heard that the S3 will get Jelly Bean in September! It's looking good for us! :-)
