you could:
1. turn it off in settings
2. try Autorun Manager to prevent it's autostart (or of any other unnecessary app)
3. check the thread on Note apps safe to remove
Appreciate it thanks.... Been a while since I used Android, still playing catchup....

After the long press, the option to launch the task manager should be there towards the bottom

If you want one that looks exactly like the one from S2, you can goto samsung apps and look for task manager, this will give you the same widget as the one that s2 had.
Is a task manager much of a need anymore?

If you long press the home button and swipe the visible apps to the left, does that kill them or just remove them from the list?

The task manager only says i have 1.62
stupid Samsung lied to us. :O
I assume .38 gigs is reserved for the system so it's not showing?

It removes them from the list. Just because there on the list doesn't mean they are running.

There will always be discrepancies between installed memory and storage space versus useable memory.

Wether its useful or not i like the idea its not on the app list and just a matter of holding home button.

My understanding is the GPU requires this portion of system memory. Kind of like how some cheap onboard video cards in PC's used to. Which makes it all the better to have 2gb RAM. If not, you'd only have 620mb usable memory!

Dumb question but how do you sign up for a samsung account? When I first activated my phone I got a notification and started running through the samsung account signup but during the process the app crashed, I didn't finish, and it never notified me again and I couldn't figure out how to create the samsung account from scratch.

I only use it to end Play Music. Sometimes it doesn't stop streaming.

It closes the app. You can test this by going into task manager and go to the running apps. Now swipe away any of the corresponding app in the recent app(hold home) and then when you go back the task manager the app you just swipe will be gone or will eventually go away. Also your remaining ram will go up.

Go to settings/accounts and sync/add account/samsung
Couldn't resist myself seeing as I am now far too pissed with the crappy radio chip in the Gnex. Cost me 580 euros on my vacation here in Finland.

Best phone ever. Enjoy!
Enjoy man. I also had a GNexus previously, and I found that the hardware on SGS3 is so much better. Camera, storage, processor, everything is much better. You just have to learn how to deal with Samsung bloatware and be happy
right choice
I can live with TW for now.

Removing bloatware requires you to edit Rom and that requires root

Please note he said deactivate, not remove. You can still freeze a lot of the bloat without rooting. Go into system settings - application manager - all. Select the bloat in question then select disable. The bloat will no longer be able to run and won't appear in the app drawer.

But a lot of the bloatware can be removed with root only. The easiest way imo is to root and use titanium backup to freeze them.

Yes I know you need root to remove it. He asked how to deactivate it without rooting. Deactivating != removing.

Does it get deleted though? I.e. does it free up memory?

Yeah, but just one thing, not everything is bloat, and blocking it is sometimes, or most times becomes an obsession rather than necessity.

Nope it doesn't free up memory. It's still there but unusable. Btw this option has been available in android since ICS, nothing new.

Simple proof of concept
do a benchmark
disable majority of heavy apps
benchmark again
again this tip will help people who does not want to root
Siri Proxy allows you to control additional devices with a Siri device. So I thought there must be something similar available for Android.:fingers-crossed:So we can also control our garages with Android devices

It is all in beta.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
I have been wanting something like this as well.
To have an application to do this though, you would have to have two parts two it.
First part would be an app on your Android device, and the other part would be something that runs on a computer @ the house.
Reason for this is because you would want a secure connection between your phone and the app. Otherwise, anyone/everyone would be able to access your home automation system.
If there is anything like this, that would be awesome, but I don't think there is
The closest thing you can get to it is HomeSeer, but it isn't voice activated. It's only buttons.
If anyone knows of a program that would do voice activation home automation, please let me know!

If your device is rooted,why you just uninstall all this bloatware (or just disable it,like the 3 rd post).With greenify,you can not stop a system application (like Watch on)

I use Gemini App manager to configure the autorun of each app.
It means you can keep the app installed and enabled but the app will only run on user allowed conditions.

Exactly, just delete the APKs you don't use from
Code:
/system/app
