Good times!

Basically, if i want to keep my music, that's easy. Otherwise everything else seems reloadable.
Thanks, was thinking there might be another way.

Runkeeper if you are looking for something while walking outside. Simple to use and stores your activities for you.

Been using Noom Walk for about 2 weeks now. Seems accurate, not a lot of bells and whistles, but it keeps your daily total and history.

Android Device Manager: link
I think the consensus best app is Cerberus, but I also think the built in Android option is what you are after.
I have no complaints with Cerberus. You may also want to check out the free version of Lookout, which has a lot of the same features.
ETA: I just checked out the Android Device Manager from Jaysus's link. It looks like it fits the bill as well.

I'm looking for a true cross-platform music solution that does not necessarily rely on my stuff being stored in the cloud.
By that I mean I have a library of music files and playlists. If I make any changes to the file (tags, etc) or playlists those changes are automatically (or at least easily) reflected on my computer and my phone. I do not want to continuously stream off the cloud if possible (too slow between songs) and want to be able to access everything offline from each device.
Currently I just store my library in dropbox (using media monkey as the player on Windows and PowerAmp on Android) which works well for only having one library, and changes in tags, etc being reflected automatically in both places. However, keeping playlists synced up has proven to be a major pain in the butt.
I've considered Amazon Cloud Player but it seems like it wants everything to be stored on the cloud so I'm not sure how easy that would be to manage (would I have to constantly manually download stuff to my computer and phone to get them stored locally?).
Has anyone found a good solution to this?

I'm waiting for the Nexus 6. By the time it comes out, my now stock GS3 will finally have the 4.4 OTA update.

I bought one as well. Have you received yours yet? My card was billed so I believe that means mine was shipped. Would love to have it by Saturday.

If it had a removable battery and SD slot it would be a perfect device. Until then I'll deal with not having the latest updates.

Then you're not getting the full value of your Android device, despite the removable hardware. That's the difference between and iOS device and Android. I want the latest firmware and software. I'm barely on 4.3, and 4.4 is coded to run even on older devices than mine. I don't care for Sammy bloatware. I slows my device down. I stopped rooting and slapping ROMs and kernels on it because it got old fast. It's a lesser device with stock OTA period.

I dont understand a word you just said.No need to dumb it down for me. All I said was Nexus would rule if I could buy a spare battery and expand the memory. I stick by my story.

Footballguy
The better mobile experience is getting the full value of the device and it's operating system. Which means if you're barely on 4.3 without the latest firmware, you're not getting the better mobile experience.

I got the note 3 in December and somehow missed this thread. If it is in here, my apoliogies
I am looking for a contacts app that will allow me to email everyone on the list and text them if I want as well.
The iphone had a great one in groups that did everything I want.

And he got one by switching from Apple to Android. Why are you having such a hard time with this?

the nerds are trying to say it's not really an android experience if you aren't on a true native android device....God forbid

It's still good... but Im not a huge fan of Samsung's touchwiz launcher...
Then again, I didnt know I wasnt a huge fan until I went to vanilla android on Nexus. You'll love your phone. Trust me.. Give it time

Never thought I'd unleash all that... I really switched due to the device. The iPhone screen is just too small for me compared to some of the other phones out there. The fact that the Galaxy 5S is waterproof and has a removable battery titled me in its direction. Complaints that it wasn't a "big enough" upgrade over prior versions didn't really matter to me since it's all new to me.

I'm upgrading soon, let me know what you think of the S5.

Don't sweat it. The hardcore Android nerds are worse than iNerds sometimes. Not everyone needs to root or flash roms or whatever they think makes a "true experience."

It's going to be a fine phone and I will probably be upgrading my S3 for it soon. I'm eligible now but want to wait a bit to see if there is a drop in price or more details about a prime edition that was rumored.

What I'm saying the difference is between an iPhone and the many Android devices: one device get's the latest OS, while many devices don't. That's not getting the full value, if say you're still on 4.2.belljr said:
The RazorM when first shipped had Jelly Bean before the GS3.

FYI the Nexus 5 is $349 from the google play store - no contract
That's what makes the phone so amazing. $600+ phone quality, 300$ price tag
Google eats money on these phones.. no reason at ALL to stay "behind"
