...and few more problems
Got my S3 mini yesterday...was on HTC Desire over 2 years
1) I can't change Lock Screen wall...everything's gone fine 'till finishing..press Save and nothin' gonna happen. Through Quick Pic and through Gallery
2) When I turn off Google Voice Typing and restart device, GVT is turn on again...and is the same after every restart. Always running after restart even turn it off in the settings...
3) Can't access files on SD card with ES file explorer. I just took SD from Desire and put it in Mini...Is Ext4 on SD card...maybe it's wrong...should I back to Ext2 or something else?
So..can access images and sounds, but through gallery or when I need to change some sound, but can't access any files and folders through ES file explorer
4) Alarm is on for whole week mornings, and there's no any icon in taskbar...strangely. On Desire it was there all the times and it was on lock screen too, but on Mini it's not even on lock screen
Sorry if my english is not perfect but I think that you understand what I wanted to say

Havn't been able to do that either in gallery, but it works fine if you choose edit and bring up photo editor. From there you can "set as.." and it works.
Ok thanks I'll try and post after that
Does not work
I did it when I removed QuickPic i tried again and it was ok
Now please, somebody answer on questions 2, 3, and 4 if know answers

for simple launchers, you can take a look at zeam. very basic settings.
for more customizations, try adw(free), adw ex(paid), or launcherpro. lots of features. example, you can adjust number of rows and columns your homescreen has and you can enable scrollable widgets on your homescreens. these are just some of the options.

Did you moved all those apps to sdcard? If so, try install them without moving to sdcard. Restart your tab again and see if the icons stays on homescreen.

Yes i did move them to sd card but to get them back to the phone will rise a big problem of storage and it will be easier to deal with the disappearance .what do thing about that ?
Some apps are not coded to handle 2.2 (move2sd) thats what i think. Don't quote me for that. As it did happened to me once with an app disappearing. After moving it back, everything went well.
Don't think apps take alot of space even if you have like 60+ apps.
If you use Multicon they stay and you get more icons.

The best you can do, with so many apps, is moving them to sd, and use "folder organizer" to manage them in folders.
Then you can put a widget on your home with all your categories and folders.
I do this way, and I never use the app drawer
Sure it will take a bit to categorize all those apps, but it's worth it, folder organizer is the best android app.
(It also have a tasker plugin, so you can, for example, use a long press of the search button to open the main folder from any application)

whodathunk!
I was also having this problem just not on my home screen...After reading/looking found this thread and viola! no more missing shortcuts!
Not sure why having them on sd card would be a cause for them to disappear but that seems to be a bug [samsung?].
fixed the problem on my vibrant
Thanks!
I thought it would be nice for both users and developers what to expect from next update to fix or be fixed. I'm gonna give a kick start to known bugs, so that we can be aware of the faults of 4.2. Don't shoot the things you didn't like here since it is nothing to do with this "bug" thread. Here I go..
1. I keep telling myself this should not be a bug since it is so obvious but there is no reason for it to be implemented that way. Which is the hour segment of lock screen time being bold and the other half is normal font.. Maybe there is a reason for this hopefully..
2. Pull down the notification bar from top, when it is down, pull down from the top most again. Notification center will continue going down and out of the screen. It applies for both quick settings and notification center.. Major bug! - 1 to googles test engineers.
Now you can add your own test cases and bugs and maybe we have great devs to sort them out and develop great custom roms..
I don't think either is a bug ,more or less design desicions. I actually like both things you mentioned

I can understand the first one but you clearly didn't understand the second. This is a major bug because a layout goes out of screen. They seem to not lock pulling down from the top most of the screen when it is already pulled down.. Result; notification center goes out of the screen..

If you fling it down it stops ,then you can pull it all the way down or just fling it back up.trust me they designed it that way ,it's not a bug.

This is probably a feature Not really a bug..
But on the lock screen .. Long tap the clock quickly.. you will see a big square highlight the unlock button Slide to unlock . This will take you to a STOP WATCH TYPE INTERFACE..
I Was hoping there would be a way in there to change the stupid bold hour number . That is gross to look at ..
Just to try it i Created a 3rd user..From the lock screen then you log into that user account to set it up. When it gets the point it ask for user Name SU Pops up asking to grant permission .. then give a message ..
SuperSU has granted superuser permission :/system/bin/id
tried 3 times .. if you let it set on that screen you will get Supersu isnt responding .. You click ok then it will allow you to continue setting up the account.
The second account set up fine.. Just thought i would try a 3rd and look at directory structure..
Can someone try and see if its just me with the issue. It finally created the account. with a reboot. but its unstable .Thanks Erica
Youtube is borked with stereo (a2dp) bluetooth headsets - sync issues, laggy, scratchy. They have clearly done some changes to bluetooth audio (you can hear the bluetooth headset mute/come alive when there is a moment or two of no sound).
Can't log into gmail with another account in chrome.
I used to log into another account in chrome that I haven't bothered linking. I went to gmail in chrome (not requesting desktop version) and I was already logged into my primary account. It's never done that before. I thought no big deal and signed out. Now gmail continually loops on the address constantly refreshing but the site never actually comes up.
And not a bug, but I'm annoyed Nexus 7 didn't get miracast. Can't imagine the reason for that. And the what's new page isn't clear that it is only nexus 4. http://www.android.com/whatsnew/
Yes it does say "Share what’s on your phone on the big screen." but the rest of the text and the page makes it seem like these are 4.2 features and not exclusive to N4. I'm hoping custom roms will enable miracast.
Also, not a bug but a feature lost, the camera no longer has the funny faces (big nose, small eyes etc). ya I know a dorky feature but I don't see why it was removed. I know the nexus 7 didn't have the camera enabled by default but we have the new camera app so I assume other devices lost those as well.

I'm getting an issue when tethering via Bluetooth. This morning it was working fine, the update came down while I was tethered to my phone, after the install I can pair to my phone but it won't connect.
I've tried deleting the pairing on both, re-pairing, rebooting... Anyone else having a problem? Anyone else doing Bluetooth tethering?
edit: never mind, I worked it out, I had to go in and select that I wanted to use the "Internet Access" profile

Hellow fellow forumers, can you help?
On my Desire it was possible to save the homescreens/scene as sometimes icons would go missing and it was easy to revert back to how it was.
but today I've upgraded to the MiniSG3 and have arranged all my icons on my 5 homescreens, and realised i cant find the "save Screen" option anywhere.. am i missing it?
Or is there an app I need?
Cheers

That seems to only do a screen grab. (but a great tip anyway as i needed to know that too)
kinda shocked to hear its not super easy to do such a basic thing especially since a 3 year old phone had the ability to save a homescreen layout.
Ill look into titanium, or.... just make sure i dont accidentally delete my icons
thanks for the replies forumers.
vonuzu is right it won't even take you five minutes
ah, I've just seen that titanium requires root..
now that's something new to me :-/
Ahh don't rush into that. Before you try anything download kies to your pc and back up your phone. All drivers will download automatically when your phone is connected. Then unplug and set usb debugging in developers options to on, reconnect phone and more drivers will download. Do this before you follow any guides on how to root your phone it will save you a lot of hassle
Do you have i8190N because root then is very easy?

Here's the link to my post where I asked the same question last week - the method with ES Explorer works 100%, I'm using it now - but root access and system write is required. I'm unsure about the 'engine freeze' method in Titanium Backup in one of the comments, so you could try that...
