Weird thing happening

Okay so I have this metro card from Taiwan and whenever I place it against the back of my phone or if I rub it against my phone while my phone is on and unlocked my phone gives a little chime does anyone know what it exactly is and how to disable it?
Just to clarify the metro card is like a little sensor that you place on a small pad not a typical credit card no stripes the whole thing is basically a sensor
I was going to upload a picture but it doesn't seem to be working at the moment

Most likely the NFC chime.

Oh, and to disable NFC go to settings - wireless and networks - more - uncheck NFC.

Why is the Vibrate so weak

Hi All,
I have noticed that the vibrating function is too weak and also on a Custom Rom.
Does anyone have a fix to this?

Most custom kernels can increase the vibrate strength, not sure if you can do it on stock kernel.

currently running Jellybear ROM

I agree, I miss 90% of my notifications while on vibrate so I've started just leaving the volume really low so I can barely hear notifications. This is about my only complaint with the phone and easily something I can live with.

Download Trickster Mod and see if there is an option on there to increase it. Easy way to see if your kernel supports it.

Thanks will try changing it there and see if it works

The N4 and the GN both use linear oscillator vibration motors, which are less violent and noisy than the rotating out of balance weight design that that older phones (and the iPhone 2G/3/3G/3GS/5) use.

Did this work? Rooted or unrooted?

Works for me. You have to be rooted for it to work.

[Q] S4 Actkve Sim Unlock? Service mode Menu

Can the s4 active be unlocked with the service mode menu?

anyone knows?

Seriously, you guys need to add your device to your user profile. Going to be hard to get help otherwise.

If you read the title of the thread you can clearly see that im asking for the s4 active, thanks.

Been trying to do this using the servicemode method everyone is describing for the S4.
Phone will not go into the UMTS menu mode as described.
Some have said that a recent update killed this method?

Yes. I cannot get into the service mode. The phone reboots.

[Q] Lag/Delay when receiving calls??

Hi got myself a Galaxy S4 i9505, rooted with Omega 13.2 rom.
When receiving calls the screen takes about 1-2 seconds to wake up which annoys me fair bit, any solution or fix for this? Already fixed the home screen delay by tweaking the settings but cant figure this one out. Tried different kernels to no avail.
Any help and/or solution to this will be very much appreciated.

+1 with stock mj8

'ok google' while charging doesn't work anymore

Hi,
Since the last update, I can't get Google now to work when charging (screen off, aod on). It worked 2 days ago, now it's gone.
Edge notifications is disabled for the Google app
I also tried to reinstall the app with no success
Bixby disabled
Anyone is having trouble with this feature as well?

Good to know that's isn't an isolated case.
I guess that comes from the new 'device maintenance' update

Same here, and working fine when screen is on.
Not yet, I'll do it tomorrow after getting more feedback

I noticed this with Google app beta 7.4 and was hoping that it was just a bug but the final version has this issue too So I guess Google intentionally removed this feature for third party devices. Maybe the want it to be exclusive to Pixel or Nexus devices from now on ! I have a oneplus 3T by the way so I don't think it has anything to do with Samsung updates
