first, i noticed something that was really important to me and that was that you cant copy past a part of an sms like you could with the gs3.
it sucks because it was something i always bragged about to iphone users who had to copy the entire sms. if you guys have any ideas on how to be able to just copy a part of the texts like a home address and stuff.
second, all share control isnt working anymore which i understand considering theyre pushing watchon, however watch on doesnt have a track pad feature that can control the mouse on the samsung tv that you need when browsing the web.
is there any other app that has that feature or an add-on for watch on that would add that feature?
thanks for the help
no one know?
does no one know of any substitutes for these features?
I use goSMS and you can only copy entire message too. Know it doesn't help but might save you from trying it.

you can use an ugly hack to copy parts of messages - tap and hold the message, pick "forward", then use the normal selection controls to select and copy the parts of text you want.

You still can't move any of the programs that you have in your application menu screen into a new folder in that screen.
I think some of you need to learn to read properly before you give some answers that isn't about what the OP is asking for.
The program menu screen is not the home screen.
Don't think you can without using an application
Sent from my X10a
no but you can create short cuts on the homescreen and put themin folder therefore reducing the time u need to enter the menu
Firstly thanks for all your replies.
I know you can create folders on the homescreen, thats not what i'm looking for.
I want to organise the apps in my programs menu. Seems a bit silly its not more straight forward as i would have thought the ability to organise apps as being quite essential.
Any one know what apps can help?

That isn't what he's after. There's no need to post it multiple times.

Also, you could try zMenu.
It's not great but at least it allows you to categorize all of your apps.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
i know. i only posted it once and yes its because i didnt read. but io did say that if he was to make folders on the home scren it would decrease time needed to locate apps
The app seems to work pretty well, but I'm having one major issue.
How do you send, forward or email out a doc. I have read through the help menu and tried everything. It says to click on the box etc.
No box exist anywhere and nothing seems to open up the option.
Does anyone know how to do this? am I missing something?
You can't send from an open doc, you must use the browser, navigate to where the doc is located, tick the box next to it and then hit the icon second from right.
I forgot to mention that the copy function does not work either. Is this a full version of polaris, or is it a custom version for the note, that is missing features?

Hello, I need to hide sms messages from one contact. What is the best way? I prefer free app but you can post paid apps too.
Thank you very much.

I know there's a modified MMS.apk in Slimbean that allows you to blacklist messages and calls from as many contacts as you want. I've seen it in a few other ROMS too. You can just flash one of those and not have an extra app. Or just extract the apk and move it to system.

Try this...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.privatesmsbox
It has no additional icon, you get into by dialing 1234 then dial on the keypad, and it's opens it let's you put anything from one contact there (sms, mms, calls) and you can only get into it by using the code. Also, the default code of 1234 can be changed, and the app doesn't require root. Also gosms has a private box built in to it.

I can +1 that. I use Vault daily and this is by far the best Android privacy app I've seen. It was just a SMS hider, but now hides photos and videos and even locks apps now!
Plus, its privacy is polished to the extent that if you press back from the app, it also disappears from recents menu

It may be the best, however, costs about 7 bucks but it's well worth it. The developer always updates and listens to his customers.
that's a built-in option with Handcent.
long press on conversation and select blacklist.

A perfect app to cheat your gf.. not only hide sms, but also hide the contact as well as the call register from certain contact.. Plus you can also hide the icon from you launcher and open it with secret code in dialer.

Hello guys! The first thing that positively surprised me the first time I used my gpad was the improvement given by LG software.
In particular Slide Aside(too freeze an app) Q Slide (kind of multi windows experience) and quick memo are very good. How can I the same feature on other devices (like my galaxy s4, where samsung software are only garbage).
Any third part software?
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
I don't know... I personally find slide aside and qslide kind of worthless. What I find useful is the built in samba server over wifi - now that's useful.
not all the program have a real resume function, so I need to find something similar for my smart phone. It's all depending on a how you use the phone
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
I guess I'm not clear how using qslide is all that much different than holding home and switching tasks that way. I mean I guess qslide may prevent the garbage collector from killing an app before you are ready... but I've never seen that be an issue in any practical use since it doesn't clean up right away.
Now, one thing that I stumbled upon today that is really nice is when you copy text, a widget comes out with all of your recent copy's! Now That is Really Handy! Now, how to get back to it once it disappears...

Go to Settings, under Wireless Networks, choose More... and enable Wireless storage. And yes, it rocks.

Guess it's just on the stock rom. I'm using mahdi-rom and its not an option. Guess I could install am app to that, if I need it.
I'm sure there are decent apps out there, I was just impressed that LG would include something so useful that does require some technical knowledge. It requires you to \\<ip> and login with a provided username/pw.

Anywhere that you're going to enter text, press and hold the screen. There will be two options, Paste, or Clip Tray. Clip Tray will get you everything you've copied.
It also comes up in a menu when you highlight a word, for example when copying, it should give an option for Clip Tray as well

Hello to all! Do you know any apk (module) that is the same the QSlide of LG G Pad?
One of the big features in the new Galaxy was the addition of Whitepages built into the dialer.
Did Verizon force Samsung to remove that as well?
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
Looks like Verizon removed this feature. If enough people tell them they are upset about it they may bring it back, but probably not
It's Verizon. Since when do they listen.
They want you to pay for their ID program
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
Spoke with Samsung. Verizon forced them to remove it due to the paid for ID program.
Hopefully enough people bother them that they end up bringing it back.
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
I found this feature by downloading "Any cut" from the play store and then scrolling through the list and finding "identify unsaved numbers" you can then turn it on from there.
Very similar In Nova Launcher... Create a new activities widget... Scroll down to the third phone choice (it has the most choices)... Then select "identify unsaved numbers"... That will create a shortcut.. Open it and flip the switch.
Yeah there are numerous programs out there.
True Caller, Whitepages ID, etc.
I would have liked not to download an extra program when it's built into the dialer.
I started a forum in the Verizon Community.
Hopefully if we get enough people to annoy them, they will bring it back.

The switch does not bring back the program which Verizon stripped out.
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
can always install it via the app store. it doesn't integrate with the dialer like the samsung version was supposed to, but it will pop on top of the default dialer and give you an alert. just a thought.
This looks really good. I"m currently using CallApp, based on pulling info from social sites, Facebook, Twitter ect. but I want something more.
It is possible to get the builtin whitepages semi working. (the caller id works but searching for local business via the contacts search bar doesn't seem to) However doing so requires a rooted phone. If you go to your system/app folder you should see a folder called SmartCallProvider. Inside is the whitepages apk. make sure it was the right permissions rw-r--r-- then go to your system/csc folder. here you want to add this line to your feature.xml file.
Code:
<CscFeature_Common_ConfigSvcProviderForUnknownNumber>whitepages,whitepages,on</CscFeature_Common_ConfigSvcProviderForUnknownNumber>
reboot phone and it should be working. I've only recieved one unknown number call since then but whitepages seems to work as it was identified as a scam number.

you also need to enable the "identify unsaved numbers" setting in your dialer, which should now be available after preforming the modification.
