Just noticed that if you open up Shopper and tell it to scan, you can turn on the LED light and effectively use it as a flashlight. I know there are plenty of flashlight apps in the market, but if you are like me and hate downloading tons of apps, this can make your life a little easier.

The widget I have on my homescreen to toggle it is somewhat more efficient but this is cool for those that like shopper and are low on space.

If you're running any of the stock sense rom variants, they should have the flashlight app built in from the factory. If you're running MIUI, it's built in as well from the lock screen, just have to hold the HOME key on the lock screen and it turns on your flashlight =p
No additional apps required in either case, just sayin'
Im running sense ui so there is already a flashlight app built in

I just bought the widget locker app from the market...BEST 2 DOLLARS EVER SPENT!!! You would not believe the features this app has. Rotary lockscreen, iphone lockscreen, widgets and shortcuts on your lockscreen. And, my favorite part, NO HAPTIC FEEDBACK ON THE SLIDER!!! I would definitly recomend this app
*I attached a screenshot. The second shot has the iphone slider. Third is sense pull-down
I actually just got this app this weekend so im fairly new to it. How'd you get all those different sliders like rotary, iphone, and sense.
Open WidgetLocker settings then check under 'Look & Feel' > 'Sliders & Layout'.

Cool thanks!
I like the app but the couldn't get the security pattern to work with it. It was either a double lockscreen with a pattern, or no pattern at all. If they had that working I'd buy it again
Meh. Its ok. Not quite the best two bucks I ever spent. Its a little slow starting and doesn't actually replace the stock lock screen so much as cover over it. When u wake the phone u see a flash of the stock slider before widget locker takes over. Petty, but that annoys me. Using unlock patterns with it is also flakey. I do like the app, but in its current state its more the quality of a free app. Hopefully they continue to dev and provide some updates. If not, I don't figure ill be using it long.
That about sums it up. Neat app, needs work. If you have 2 bucks to spare, give it a try.

Hmmm, to bad. The settings are really touchy and you definitly dont have it right if your seeing the stock lockscreen when you wake the phone. To bad people put negative feedback out there when they dont even know how it works, see it all the time with apps in the market

I get same thing, the app can't open itself fast enough all the time to cover up the default lock screen. It is a cool app but not worth 2 dollars when there are so many apps out there that offer more for less.
No free app I know of let's you customize sliders and put widgets and shortcuts on the lock screen. You can bypass the 5 second transition from stock lock screen to widget locker in the settings.
Not meaning to sound negative. It is a cool app. I just expect a paid app to be a bit more refined. Less buggy, let's say. I will continue using and playing with it for a while.

some reboots when unlocking, and sometimes the stock lock screen appears before widget locker. I have changed the settings both using root bypass and home helper. Both of those options alleviate the issue, but do not fix it entirely.
Hey everyone.
I just wanted to ask you all a question...
What is it that you wish you could have on your Fascinate?
I want you guys to list ANYTHING (aside from the obscenely ridiculous*) that you wish you could have on your phones. That includes, but is not limited to:
apps
games
lockscreens
whole roms
kernels
radios
button remappings
widgets
skins
accessories
audio/video alterations
(I will build the list as suggestions are made )
If you see someone's wish and you know of something that fits the description, POST IT! (Bonus points for links)
DEVS: I figured this could also give you guys some cool ideas all in one organized thread.
I'll also post really awesome ideas as they are created below for easy viewing.
Netflix support
Better antenna
Utilization of the camera LED in low power mode as a notification light
a how-to on better battery life
Personal ROM editor
Better gps
Full CM7
Full MIUI
Functioning TV out
More stable source code from Samsung
Virtual networks
*Having your phone turn into a lightsaber is an example of the obscenely ridiculous and most likely will not happen no matter how much you wish it.
My GPS to actually work, along with CM7 and/or MIUI (that actually support the phone's hardware).
There should be an option between 'needs a bit more' and 'hate'... such as 'I'm still not buying Samsung again'.
Functioning TV out, which from what I understand, is actually incorporated into the device pinout, but is still disabled. Some here at XDA are working on it though

+1 My GPS is good, but I definitely wish for full MIUI or CM7, that would be sweet. I also wish for better/fast updates/support from Verizon and Samsung. FAT chance.
Samsung to release properly written sources, which may lead to better functioning CM7 and MIUI. And TV-out.

I think several of you missed where he said "aside from the obscenely ridiculous"
A virtual network. What I mean by this is.
1 For the phone to act like a wireless router and let other devices connect to it.
2 let the phone itself to be on the said network. As if your attached to it via wifi (even though the virtual router would be phone based)
What this could be used for
1 control of wireless devices that use lan, with lan apps without the need of a router (ex. Pc remotes, printers, scanners)
2 ability to stream video and audio to devices like the xbox wirelessly (provided you have a wifi xbox) from your phones storage with apps like Imediashare, which atm only works over a network. So if all you have is a xbox and phone you can't watch movies..
There are lots of apps that work like this
PHONE ~~> ROUTER ~~> DEVICE
would be great if they could work like this
PHONE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~> DEVICE

I say fully working CM 6.2.0
CM7 is too far off, and won't ever be fully functional, save some unlikely breakthroughs or newer sources or ROMs from samsung.
CM 6.2 could be fully functional much more quickly (if not already) if development work wasn't done on CM7 instead.
Id like to see an app that can change the colors of a theme or the system with one or two clicks and all done with phone booted up.
Granted I love all the themes for our phone but one day I feel like purple, another day could be orange...so on so forth lol..

Galaxy SIII is a fantastic phone, but I seem to be constantly let down by touchwiz stuff. My idea for this thread is a big, long list of annoyances and suggestions for fixing them.
For example, an annoyance: TW doesn't support sorting the app drawer by name, you have to manually sort things and that goes slow. You would have thought they'd have a better way to manage the app drawer by now, but alas, no.
Solution: AppZorter Lite is a free solution that will sort your app drawer for you. Bonus: I like a nice empty app list, so I've gotten it hidden (one thing TW does do) and just launch it from the store when I need to.
Two that I haven't solved:
1) Facebook has filled my contact list with a huge number of people I don't care about, seems to have ignored the "only sync with existing contacts". Removing facebook users is a process: hold on the user, press delete, confirm that it isn't actually deleting.
2) The default MMS app seems to send (or displays?) all picture messages as slideshows. Super lame. Is there any way to turn this out without installing a 3rd party app?
App drawer, menu, view type, alphabetical grid or list.

The app drawer thing is why I didn't use the TW launcher on the Epic. At least now I can install Apex or Nova in the system/app folder.
Network errors, Sprints fault, not the phone.

TouchWiz in general is just a piece of ****. Still running the Epic here and I cursed my phone every day until I put launcher pro on it and it was manageable. Didn't actually like my phone until I rooted and got CM9. My wife is getting the S3 upgrade but CM9 will go on as soon as it is available. She knows how ****ty TW is.

Pissed that BB had no accessories when i picked up the phone and i now have 2 micro scratches on the screen from screen sliding along a piece of paper on my desk at work.
I hate the purple/baby blue rim around the phone.
Waiting for a black TPU bumper and black metal battery cover replacement from china to resolve these issues.
Outside of that- much more impressed with the form factor than that of the EVO LTE which i traded for it. The S3 is very comfortable in hand.
Phone is way too slippery!
BTW- Touchwiz sucks! i installed Apex while waiting to check out at BestBuy.

Hey there,
I'm used to pull down the notification bar from any possible app (even games) on the sgs3.
I noticed it isn't possible on the nexus... Is there any mod or something for that? :/
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
its sdk functionality. if an app requests the statusbar should be hidden the framework has to do that in order to not get in the way of gestures and swipes on which the app relies. if touchwizz ignores that it would be a pretty evil abuse, something that should get them in legal trouble. i dont think it would be hard to realize but i know of no mod or rom who's got that.
Oh I see thank you very much for the explanation.
I got pretty used to it as it was really convenient checking my notification bar without minimizing my current app. (Change music, brightness , GPS etc....)
Oh well will have to get used to it then.
Thanks for the reply again
