Is it reasonably easy to get a gel style case, screen protector, for one of those around Dublin city center, or should i save myself the bother and go straight to eBay?

Finally stumped up the courage to purchase one of these bad boys.

Just looking for a good solid case though. Something on the style of an otterbox, but without the bulk, any ideas?

Is there a way to *disable* an application in the Task Manager?

I can see Force Stop, Uninstall and Clear Data, but there seems to be no disable option...unlike the HTC from which i moved.

Thanks

Hold center button and swipe left or right to the app you don't want, is that what you are talking about.

Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(was one of the things i liked most about my One X)

Is there any add-on Application available that can be used to disable programs/remove them from the Apps menu until they're re-enabled?

Press the menu button while your in the app drawer. You will see hide apps function

The only other way to remove them is to root and install titanium backup and pull them out by force

Never seen that button light up neither on the S3, S3 Mini nor the Note 2.

adamski8 · 17-02-2013 05:52PM

Still cant buy the smartdock after months of waiting!

JacksonHeightsOwn · 17-02-2013 06:39PM

lads, quick question

when you double tap to zoom, can you change it in the settings so that the website then fits the screen?

It's worked for me on my s3 and the note 2

Got the flip case for note 2, came in post today. First impressions are good, doesn't add too much to the weight/size of phone.

Anyone know of a good app that will make the cover act like a smart cover? i.e. turn screen on when cover opened, turn screen off when it's closed? Preferably a non-paying app, and I don't have root...

Thats not a software feature. Thats usually set of by a magnet in the phone and the cover. You dont have either

There might be an app that uses a proximity sensor?

Bought one last week with 3. Dropping gilfriend, marrying phone. Nuff said.

I have seen that working the other day on a vodafone s3 mini. All of my phonea were open europe software. Maybe its carrier dependant. Either way it dowsnt really matter as you can hide apps in the launcher anyways

I get that it can't act as a smart cover properly, what I was looking for is an app that works by going with the proximity sensor and/or light sensor...

biebiebie · 18-02-2013 05:37PM

I'm not sure if this will work with your flip cover, but worth trying nonetheless

Settings > Motion > Quick glance

biebiebie · 18-02-2013 05:39PM

For those on Meteor stock, looks like the 4.1.2 update will be available within the next week or so.

Any one actually have a good explanation on how quick glance works? Ive messed around with proximity sensors and lifting it and it only seems to work random. Not entirely sure about the point of it either. It seems pressing the home button couls get you the same info possibly faster

I've definitely seen a post on that very topic here a few weeks ago. Can't find it at the moment though....

I'm pretty sure there's a way, with an app and leaving the screen lock off.
