NFC on I9505 not working - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all!
Anyone with the I9505 galaxy s4 (UK version) having trouble using NFC to read certain NTAG203 tags? Here's a sample video to show:

The phone reads the white tag but doesn't read the tag behind the big label on the left. It looks like both tags are NTAG203 Type 2 tags, so I'm confused as to why it works with one and not the other.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Display Mirroring

Hi all,
A quick search didn't bring up much useful info, so I thought I'd throw it out there.
Does anyone know of any solutions to mirror the display of a Galaxy Tab to an external screen (excluding the still-unavailable xBounds adapter)? I wouldn't mind being able to use it on a much larger screen when the need arises..
Thanks in advance

NFC Tags

Hi
I'm new to NFC and didn't have a clue what tags i would need and what the differences were. I came across a video on here that explained everything I needed to know. So all that was left was to find the tags. I wanted the sticker type. I also decided on the Mifare S50...it has more memory but is 'older' standards. From what I have learnt the main difference is that the S50 is not compatible with Blackberry or the Nexus 4. I searched....a lot, and find these below. I contacted the seller and he has been a great help, answered all my questions and replied to all of my emails within b12 hours. He also sells the Ntag203 if you want them. Check out the link below.

Hi guys,
I've search the forum and cannot find that secret code for the Galaxy S4 (I9500).
In the S3 we had the *#7465625# View Phone Lock Status but this doesn't work with the S4.
In the web as well, only a few basic codes have been posted
thanks for any tips

Kospet Prime Smartwatch Android 7.1.1 Help Requested.

Hi guys new to the forum and smartwatches. I would like to know if it is possible to remove the LOCK icon so it is not visible when you twist your wrist to wake up the smartwatch? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I purchased this watch to have it synced with my Samsung Note 10 Plus and I am struggling to get it working like I would like.

I (believe) it depends on the Watchface you are using. On some of my faces, the Lock shows up on some it does not. Maybe select a different face? I use Al Rod watch faces. He has a large collection and on most of his faces, I don't get a lock. I may be wrong here since I've only had mine for 2 weeks and still learning.
