Call me an idiot..... but how do i access the Gallery app through the Camera app. I have to back out and launch the Gallery app?
I'm rooted running 4.2.1.
Thanks!
You swipe to the right

Doesn't work that way for me...only works swiping from right to left.
Either way, its rather un-intuitive. Most casual users wouldnt know this gesture and even then, it sometimes brings up the settings circle if you swipe at a bad angle.
Dang i really am an idiot..... Thanks guys!
Swiping right or left seems to work on my N4. Was relieved when I found this one out, as coming out of the camera app then going into the gallery app seemed very long winded.
When I bought my Nexus 7 it came with the instruction manual as an ebook, but the N4 didn't come with one (unless I havent found it yet).

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.

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.

Hey mates,
So here's my problem:
Whenever I open a game, the screen rotates into portrait mode, so that the buttons are at the top and the ports on the right side.
From time to time it would be better for me to have it in the "other" portrait mode because of my case.
Any chance to realize this?

Seems that not every app forces me to take that side.
Any chance to enable the sensor for every app?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Been trying to do this also, never found a good answer. I believe it is up to each developer how the app deals with screen orientation.
You can force any app to rotate any way you want with Ultimate Rotation Control from the Play store. I used it until I flashed Paranoid Android ROM. It worked perfectly.

When i first got my Nexus 7 it had an icon for the Camera and when it updated to 4.2.1 it disappeared .......so this is a dumb question
where is it and how do i use my camera ? or i can only use it on apps that need the camera?
download nexus 7 camera launcher from market. works perfect.
i don't know why they removed it in the update.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
First question, are you crazy? Probably, yes...
As for the camera issue, they probably removed it because you don't use it to take pictures and it would likely only be used with apps like Skype or whatever. However, as the other guy said, the Nexus 7 camera app from the play store works perfectly. I think there is also a 4.2 camera app APK floating around these forums somewhere too.
*puts down random dismembered limb*
Nope you are just as sane as the rest of us.
So wait, people really take pictures with this thing? Isn't that like, very awkward? Pressing a button on a screen that isn't even facing you and all..
Thanks found it works great ! you guys rock

I've never got a camera app on my nexus. so, er, guess I‘m not interested with my own face, xD
I've seen the apps and edits to remove or replace the navigate buttons (home, back, recent apps) or even move them to the side... But what about moving them entirely to the notifications tray? Is this a bad idea?
For the videos and apps that remove the tray, there could be a hot corner or gesture to bring it back up. Should I have patented this idea before posting?

That's called tablet ui.

Tablet UI would bring it to the statusbar. Not the notification area.
To the OP: this would be bad for accessibility. Imagine using an app that requires you to double press back to exit. You would neet to pull down the notification area twice... just to close an app.

Fullscreen app gives you two hot corners, replacing the back/home, but I found I kept accidently hitting the corners within other apps or surfing, no matter whether I put them top or bottom. I ended up using Pie Control app, customised with Nav buttons to solve the problem. LOVE the huge screen via fullscreen.

Wow sorry for my late reply everybody. Thank you for you feedback. I haven't looked at tablet ui but I will. I have installed GMDs auto hide nag buttons. I like it. Sometimes. One thing I do not like is that the menu button for apps like Chrome are automatically moved to the navbar. I know I can turn it off but the menu button is just gone. Not a huge deal but I also don't like how it is sometimes less responsive than the stock navbar. Either way, I'm still shopping.

You should try AOKP rom which you can toggle phablet and tablet UI, I've been using this feature since 4.1.
As for in app menu button, there is in option called "Show menu UI overflow" in the rom to enable it.
