Hands free - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am having an issue with hands free activating every time I enter my car even though I have turned it off many times and even unchecked all the options
It didn't do this previously and is starting to become an annoyance
Does anyone know how I can deactivate this
Thanks in advance

Is it possible to use these texting apps with an ordinary mobile number (I.e. not a smartphone)? I find my phone so small that I always struggle with texts...

Word of warning, it will stop working after 14 days unless you pay for it $3.99 for a year. At first I thought it was a steep price to pay but it really is worth it since both devices do not need to be on the same network. For example your phone can be connected by 3g and the N7 by wifi and it will still work.

I very much doubt it. Unless you are in the States and set up a Google Voice account.

Please help me find why my phone is staying awake.

My phone seems to be staying awake a lot longer than the screen is on. I have tried wakelock detector and the apps that have kept the phone awake (Facebook being the main culprit) dont add up to anywhere near the extra wake time. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

For me a simple reboot did the trick. My phone was not switching off unless I pressed the power button, I started to get worried about a hardware issue, but now is ok.

No contact details for Incoming calls in Dock mode (landscape)?

Santa got me an ibolt dock for Christmas. When I get an incoming call it doesn't show the contacts picture or name?
I keep my phone horizontal (landscape) and the Samsung contact/phone app just shows a black space where the picture should be.
IncidendIy, I notice you can't open contacts, select dial and make it rotate to landscape when you turn the phone horizontal in normal (not docked mode)
Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing?

Sorry about the quality, couldn't get a screen grab to work.
One picture shows an incoming call, the other during.
The only way around this is to use hands free mode so it talks and says who's calling.
Has no one else come across this bug?

Same here, you should maybe ask the iBolt guys in their accessory-thread.
Didn't know there was a thread. Thanks, hope it's quicker than their customer services. Took me a month for a reply on a sales query. Not heard back yet about a cable issue I had over a week ago

Thing is it looks like a note 3 dock (Samsung) issue as the dialler is seperate from the ibolt app. Looks like stock dialler to me.

Ha just found this :
"Where is the caller ID?
There is currently a defect in Samsung software preventing the caller ID from showing up when the phone is docked in landscape mode. We have reached out to Samsung and are hoping to have a resolution soon."

Hacked already?!

Less than a week on the market and the fingerprint sensor has been hacked already! Glad I didn't switch!

Glad you didn't switch? LOL That's probably the dumbest thing I have read all day, no offence. You can fool any fingerprint scanner like this pretty much. I tested this on my payroll time clock scanner and the same thing. It's not hard to do.
Yeah but with the PayPal integration, if someone hacked your phone with the fingerprint scanner, your money isn't safe really is it?

This is the reason they are putting it less secure than PIN and Password as a screen unlock method.
So first they need to take a picture of your fingerprint and print this with thick inkt than the need woodglue

Seriously, did anybody really expect, that this fingerprint reader cannot be fooled??

So just use a regular pin like you do on your note 3. Your logic is kinda flawed.
All they did was prove it can be hacked like any other password. What they neglected to mention is that the preparation needed for this is so much harder than just looking over your shoulder and stealing a regular password or pin.
The best password I had was on cm7 for my droid x and x2. It was a gesture swipe on a background of your choice but it allowed for multiple swipes and with no hints or bypasses it was impossible to hack. Never understood why they discontinued it and it hasn't been implemented in android yet.

Isn't that the case for any form of password? If someone got your PIN/password/pattern, they could have access to all of those things you mentioned, without ever needing your fingerprint in the first place. So...what's the problem here?
Pro tip: Everything is hackable. Thinking otherwise is only being naive.

Strange S4 behavior

My S4 is acting crazy lately. Seemingly randomly several download icons show up in my notification area. And it's old downloads that have been moved or deleted. Any idea what's going on? Thanks.
are you rooted with a custom recovery/rom
what's your build
what have you done to fix it
I'm rooted with stock and safestrap. It's 4.3 mk2. And since I have no idea what's going on I've done nothing to try to fix it.

Still looking for help with this one. It used to happen just once in a while but now it's like this almost all the time. Very annoying.

Thanks for the replies but my problem has gone away, per se. I ended up accidentally knocking the S4 off my desk at work and cracked the screen and screwed up the display. Now I have a S5 Active. Thanks again.
