Hey guys I'm new to the forums and a relatively happy owner of the sgs. Anyway is there a way to save images as wallpaper from the internet. What I mean is theres an image on google I want to use as my wallpaper. My previous phone was an iphone and there was an option of screen capture or saving the file.
Thanks in asvNce

Hold your finger on the image (long press) then save the image.now you can open the image inside the gallery and set as a wallpaper.
Hope this helps

How can i have more then 5 screens for Applications ?
I'm gunna guess you mean home screens, and assume you haven't done a search. Press menu, then edit and you can add screens.

No, i don't mean home screens, i know how to make more home screens.
I am talking about Applications Screens.
Thanks anyway.
You just install some more apps. The application screens extend as necessary.

Oh, i see ! Thank you !!!
You can also hit Menu when you are in the application drawer, and an Edit option will be available.
From there you can drag/drop/uninstall apps. Every time you go to the Edit mode, there will always be an extra blank screen where you can move your apps, so moving apps there would increase the number of screens. You can drag apps to the next/previous screen by moving them to the edges until they turn bluish.
That way you can have additional screens without having to feel each screen up.
There's a catch: if you leave any blank spaces on the application screens then sometimes icons from other screens will jump across to fill the gaps. I'm not sure exactly when that happens but I think it might be when you switch between portrait and landscape.
I spent some time sorting all the games onto one page and they then partly unsorted themselves again as the gaps filled up.

I think thats not possible, at least with the default launcher.

I just found it accidently...we can actually control the screen brightness by hold press on the status bar above and drag it to the right(hi) or to the left(low)....
just wanna share this for fun .....
quick search would have provided you with a multitude of posts about this..it's old news my friend.

I am using RocketRom and was wondering if there is a way to make touchwiz default screen as number 4 and not 1.
When I press the home button it should go to 4th screen(center) and not 1st screen(left most)

Except that the wallpaper isnt centered tell me why you want the 4 and not the 1

I just moved the first tile where tile 4 should be, but I too have struggled to find a way to set 4 as default. Perhaps it's going to need APK manager used on it and start digging around the xml files.

Since when you can sweep left of the leftmost screen and get to the rightmost screen, setting the default screen to any other number than 1 has lost all practical sense.
P.S. I agree it would be nice to be able to do so anyway but I am not using tricks/mods to set the screen no. 4 as home anymore as I don't need them anymore since "continuous sweep" has been introduced in the latest GalaxyS and GalaxyS2 ROMs (I have a Note now and it's had it from day 1). Only remaining reason would be "cosmetic" but "cosmetically" I personally like it better to have no. 1 screen set as home..

That was my point too as i said above the only "problem" is the not centered wallpaper, the static photos.

Yes, I was just agreeing with you and expanding a bit on the reason why
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.

much easier than my solution. skipped right over that option.
Thanks.
Trying out Pansi SMS as my sms solution, though it's a bummer that it doesn't interact with the lock screen like the native one.

If you goto phone contacts menu display you can remove fb contacts for ppl you dont want
Scrolling wallpapers!!!! (Already made a thread for it)
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.
Oh, I asked that S-Voice b*tch where she was from and she didn't understand. Guess that's what I get for hitting on my phone. :crying:

Appdrawer -> Menu button -> View Type -> Alphabetical grid
nvm, someone already posted it.
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.

TW isn't that bad, it's manageable but obviously they are better options.

Meh. To each his own. I used to own an iphone and found it boring and featureless. TW just reminds me of the iphone too much. Not as bad as miui though.

try out handcent messaging app. Your right the stock messaging app is crap
i must be one of the few people in the community that like the galaxy s3 touchwiz and "motion". Maybe I'm just on that "new phone" high.

Turn off double ppress for svoice. It is quicker. The reason food the delay is that it is giving the user a chance to double press

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.
