Phone vibrating when grabbing it? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

For some reason my s4 vibrates when I pick it up off of a table sometimes. It's not the volume button because the volume is still at full sound when I go to check it.
Just wanted to know if anybody else is experiencing this.

Do you have any missed calls or texts when this happens? If so you probably have smart alert on.. It vibrates when you have a missed call or text when you pick the phone so you know to check it

I think that's EXACTLY what it was. Good catch. I guess I haven't explored the extra options enough yet.
Doesn't help that I've been waiting for some AOKP love. Made me not want to get too comfortable with TW. Thank you!

Task had an S4 but he said he was returning it so idk if we'll get Tasks on the S4. Which kind of kills it for me cuz I ran his ROM on my S3 religiously. There was NO comparison.

This OP.
---Jay--- From the GNex

My 8g n7 crapped the bed last night.

My daughter was playing mine craft on it last night when it made white noises (the noise old TV's makes when its on a snow channel) screen went black with random snow flashing on the black screen. I reboot it and the Google splash screen pops up then snow again. I ordered it on opening day and never unlocked it or rooted it (no need IMO). Only device I haven't felt the need to put custom roms or kernels on.... just my opinion.
Has anyone else ever had this happen and who do I contact, obviously Google but what area?

I hate to be this guy but can you not just look for it? A simple search of this forum or on Yahoo/Google/Bing turns up results. We're here to help but not hold your hand. You're quick to shoot people down too, maybe watch your attitude to the other posters who took time out to try and help you.
Your best solution may be to buy an iPhone maybe?

It's the basic rules of the forum and of common courtesy. Make some effort and show some gratitude to the people who tried to help.
I shouldn't have to explain that.
Try the development sections for your device. I'm sure you'll find something that works for you. Try not to take this personally, it's just advice to make this all more pleasant and productive. I'm not looking to offend. We're all here to do cool stuff with our little phone.
I know I sound like an complete tool, and in many ways I am, let's just keep it cool. We have no idea what would suit you, how similar world suit etc. Everyone is trying to find out for you but you have to elaborate and find things too, show what didn't work or what's not quite right.

AT&T and Verizon have locked down bootloaders. When the OTA install starts, it blows a Qfuse making it impossible 'at this time' to downgrade back to a previous build.

So I couldn't use Odin to flash an earlier version of the baseband to also root, and stop myself from upgrading to mf3 again?

No. The bootloader is locked, and does not allow downgrade. Once you are on mf3, there is no going back.
No. It is impossible to downgrade anything. Read up on it. There is more in depth stuff than what I said. As of now, there is no way to downgrade, install a custom recovery, flash a rom, use Odin, etc. Only root is possible.

Root is possible, but if you mess something up, you may not be able to fix it until we get an Odin flushable MF3.be very careful with it.

If anything goes wrong with installing the mod you may be screwed. Also, saying you want to "get rid" of bloatware leads me to believe you want to delete. Don't, just freeze them.

Keep your eye on this app called Safestrap by Hashcode. It's being developed for Verizon S4 but most likely will work on AT&T's as well. Read more on what it is and other cool things about it here, be sure to read thoroughly so you fully understand what it does haha.

I'm on MF3 as well and I know how you feel. At least we can root.

I get choppy digitized audio on Wi-Fi calling. I've just accepted it as normal. It isn't a deal breaker
I just consider it an "if all else fails" type of thing since the quality is so poor. I wonder how much less radiation the phone puts out though.

WiFi Calling drops within 5 minutes
I have been searching all the forums for any info on this. I saw one post earlier, but it seems to have been removed. It showed a specific setting for un-checking router re-checks. I can't find the setting on LG G2. My problem:
Had an HTC One S. It never woke up with WiFi calling enabled, huge problem. Went to the LG G2, wakes up perfectly but after a few minutes (.30 to 7 min) it drops the call. All new WiFi hardware and I still get drops. 7 different calls with tech support, even changed the SIM to the one that came with the phone. There's a trouble ticket in. Hope it actually gets to LG.
More times than most, the upgrade/tweaking of the radio are the last of the updates the put out. For this...I would pay whatever the bounty is on this, now. Just get it Fixed!!!
