I'd go the dropbox route Oli, since you should have got 50gb free with the S3

Makes the most sense yeah.. Logged into dropbox and it says I only have about 3GB available. I've connected my S3, laptop, iPhone, iPad to it so I thought I would have much more. Hmm..

Thanks for the suggestions

The S3 should give you 50GB of free storage. Try logging in/out of the app on the phone a couple of times, sometimes it's a bit slow to register it.

Install Flash plugin from Play Store. Works fine for me, just tap the video ona site and it enables the plugin and plays.

Do I need to do anything for this to happen? I've had my S3 for a few weeks now and for various reasons I've logged in/out of dropbox about 9 times and it's still only telling me I've got the same 12GB

62GB would be pretty good lol

I was about to ask how it compares in features and price with Co-Pilot, which currently seems to be one of the favourite 'paid for' sat-nav apps... until I saw that there is no HD version, and that it is not therefore compatible with my Galaxy Nexus, for example.... or the S3.

I am even more pleased now that I did go for Co-Pilot recently, especially when I read that the £30.99 for the UK and Ireland is only an introductory price!

When I flashed back to a Samsung rom, during the setup process it asked about creating a Dropbox account. Might have to be done there.

Evernote (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evernote&hl=en) is very popular, and might well suit your requirements.

Tasks free, you can have multiple widgets and it syncs with your Gmail account, plus you can theme them

Go into the stock app and in the settings there's a notification setting, turn it off.

Loving how TomTom is compatible with my HTC Desire but not my S3 xD

Wow, just installed chrome so far very impressed. It's faster, easier to browse and the buttons seem to be more accurate
