any way to push if I didn't get it yet?

Go to all apps.
Select "google services framework".
Select "clear data".
Go to settings.
Select "sysem update".
Select "update samsung software".
Select "check now".

Select "google services framework".
Select "clear data".
Go to settings.
Select "sysem update".
Select "update samsung software".
Select "check now".

And do again for a few times if you don't get it on the first try.

Updated the voicemail app.
Gives you the ability to take a screenshot while you're watching a video.
Supposedly some security updates.

Any link to article detailing the changes?

Thanks. Wondering why Samsung isn't publicizing the changes.

I just got the GS3 on Verzion. I have been with BB for 4 years, and so far i'm confused to say the least. I have never touched an Android phone before.

Here are some questions I have;


Is there a central location to view all emails regardless if Yahoo, Gmail or other?

If I am connected to Wifi will the phone not use any cellular data?

When not connected to wifi how do I know if I have 4G/LTE or not? (are 4G and LTE the same thing?)

How can I disable LTE on the phone to reduce battery use?

Does the phone come unlocked?

What else do I need to know?

You can add all email accounts to the EMAIL app and then just merge all inbox's if you'd like.

anyway to do that in the gmail app?

No way to add Yahoo to Gmail. What you could do is have your other emails forwarded to your Gmail account.

I meant anyway to combine all my gmail inboxes?

Awesome! Thanks

It says for gmail use the app, so I figures it wasnt possible to add gmail to the email app.

IS there anyway to get memos from a BB onto my GS#?

yes in the gmail app there is a place to add more emails- dont remember how i did it but it is there.

1) i do not believe so, as i have been connected to a wifi router without internet and the browser was not working said no internet

2) yes, if you are expecting the samsung email to be anything like your bb you are heavily mistaken.

I dont think there is a central location for EVERYTHING
If ur connected to WIFI, ur cellular data will not be used (but phone calls and text messages are still used)
on the top right (2 over from the battery) it will say 4g if ur connected to the 4g network
I believe LTE is a (good/best) type of 4g
with the s3, it really isn't necessarily to turn off the LTE because it has a very good battery (and u could switch it out). There are apps that allow you to switch it off though
the phone most probably is not unlocked

Welcome to the other side. It will probably take a few good days to start getting used to it but it is definitely worth it.

I don'th think the "Email" app supports push, though the K9mail app does (CMIIW). And you can view a unified inbox there as well.

I am so lost and confused, I miss my BB

[Yordai Dooma]

Not sure anyone can help me or if its been discussed...for some reason when i connect my phone to my car via bluetooth, my car only downloads one of my address books. I have 2 address books in my phone. Gmail and microsoft exchange server. it only downloads the MES contacts.

Anyone have similar issues?

[MosheP]

Is there a way to have separate icons for each of my email addresses?

I am also having a huge issue getting my emails to push to my phone see here.
