Did verizon disable this feature in the SGS3, I am not going to start hacking my phone yet... But I want to know if it is possible to do this for the time being?
Just drag an app from your app drawer to "app info" and you will see the disable option. This is left untouched in the Verizon GSIII.

Apps contd in 3rd post
IF I HELPED YOU DON'T SAY THANKS HIT IT LOL...YOU CAN SAY IT TO IF YOU LIKE LOL
"[Sent from a galaxy far far away] *ominous voice* Hit THANKS"
Some great info there thanks !!
What about security apps ? Id like to nominate Avast! as THE best mobile security app ever.
It can do a whole range of things, Including remote lock & wipe, Activating a siren and on screen message (custom message) It also has tracking features and will inform you if the sim is changed.
It scans every new installed app for malware and viruses and also has web privacy protection against dodgy phishing sites. It also has anti-theft feature (requires root) which will install the app and data into the system so that it will survive a full wipe !!
Ive just been having a little play with it via the Avast! website... And best of all.... ITS FREE !!!
I'd say this is a must have app ! the first thing that should be installed on any android device.
Couldn't get to fit in first post so will place any further recomendatons here

HI,
First time on this forum. I've had my SmartWatch 2 for almost a month now and to be honest I'm not overly impressed. I'm not expecting it to be a replacement for my phone or anything but I find it has a limited use due to very few useful apps. I have all the ones that are suggested by Smart Connect. I have a couple of custom watch faces, Smartmote (Music controller that's compatible with Spotify), Find Phone and Commander. I find it hard to find any decent apps on Play that are high quality. Is there any third party apps dedicated as an appstore for the SmartWatch?
What I'd really like to know, what apps do you use on a daily bases, that you can't live without and that makes the SmartWatch 2 a useful aid to your life?
Use SmartConnect or search in Play Store for Smart Extension Sony...
I love D-Day for dates and tasks and the Shopping list extension since I've the 2nd child
Von meinem Sony Xperia Z1 gesendet. Mit Hirn.
Depends on what you want to do. I use tasker to remove the pass code when it is connected to the watch and re-enable it when out of range. Tasker also notifies me if the battery is draining when usb charging or the screen is on while in my pocket... I use AppLauncher to be able to start car mode when in my 2nd car (which doesn't have Bluetooth) and to start klets (voice control) or remote widget to turn on my home media server from the lounge room... I use "Phone Status" to toggle Wi-Fi hotspot. My bank had an asp to view current balance...so many things it can do...
Main use : Watchify
I own a galaxy note 3, so it's super convient to see the notification on my wirst.
Also as said just before, the Tasker combinaison can do some pretty good things.
I use mostly Poweramp Control pro and Runtastic.
And from time to time, Calculator and the Timer.
Notifier
Smartwatch Notify! Although it's lacking in the grammar area, it's by far the most useful app I ever had on my Smartwatch 2
- AllNotify for notification
- Everwatch : To see my Evernote
- Tiny task : To see my Google Task
- TimeOut : Interval Timer
- CayNax HIIT : Also interval timer HIIT
- Calendar by Nefa Studio to Add event in calendar from the watch
- SMS Sender by Nefa to write SMS from the watch
- AppLauncher to start phone app from the watch
- Tasker for SW2 to launch Tasker Task from the watch
- Smartwatch Shopping List to go to supermarket with my OutOfTheMilk list
- SWP Music Player to start music, Album, Artist, Song from the watch
- Call Handling pro to make call from the watch
- Counter to keep count many thing from the watch
- Stopwatch app (other than original) to count even if wath is down
- K9Mail for my mail notification
- Lunar Phase for Lunar and Sun
- Spy Voice to start voice record since the watch
- NanoNotes to write quick note from the watch
- Skype, hangout, Facebook, Twitter client
- Smartwatch Currency Converter to quickly convert money
- Smartwatch Remember to start remind with snooze time
- SMS&Notes for Smartwatch also to write quick note from the watch
- WatchNote other Evenote Client
- Status View to see phone Wifi, Sound, 3G batt .
- Wearable Widget to see phone widget on SW2 and all Zooper Widget
- Smartwaether to see forecast 5 days on watch
Sony apps:
-Gmail/Twitter/Messages/Facebook/Call handling
3rd part apps:
-Whatsapp
-Rain alarm Pro
-Hangouts
-Watchface Widgets
-Phone battery
Ordered by usage weight, my top 5 apps are:
Augmented Smartwatch (it handled all notifications from day 1)
Watch Widgets from NefaStudio (for the watchface)
Call Handling Pro
Music Player from Sony
Built-in alarm app
...and many others

I wanted to share my list of disabled bloatware (Disabling wont remove the app). This is done from Settings - Apps - All -click the app you want to disable, uncheck Show notifications, then simply hit Disable and done! If Info-Eye still keeps haunting in the Update Center, or any other bloatware. Those update notifications can be turned off! To-do this open Update Center, click those three dots you see in upper right corner(aka settings), manage updates and then click the apps name, that you don't wanna get updates anymore.

Now I Just Noticed that at the end of this list in KingRoot "System Core App(77)" removing will cause error.
that suggest that I could remove everything else within the listing KingRoot gives without worries???
I'd rather not have to do damange control or render this phone useless.
Thanks
