which app is trying to use NFC - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. Im running lolipop on N910F. I've dusabked all the services that I dont use and removed all bloatware. NFC related services also been frozen in titanium. NFC is turned off in settings and to my knowledge I dont yse any apps that use NFC. But I keep getting this NFC error message: "unfotunatly nfc service has stopped".
Anyone know what could be causing this? can I find what app/process is trying to use NFC?

disable AT&T apps?

i google'd this but can't find anything on it and was wondering if the s3 is the first phone that allows users to disable at&t services without root. this is my first android device so i wouldn't know if that's true...
anyway, i have hotspots, navigator, messages, and updater. Carat is saying updater uses a lot of my battery, but that is the only one i can't disable in the application management menu in settings. however, i assume if i disable the other 3 then updater will have nothing to update and will consume less battery (hopefully).
has anyone tried to disable these programs with success, i.e. without it causing problems to your phone?
im not sure. but i did try to uninstall one and then it just showed up that it needed a update so i ended up redownloading the app because im so OCD about having updates not done

You go into the application manager and DISABLE the app. I have gotten rid of ALL the ATT bloatware this way. Works sort of like
Titanium Backup but you do not need the root. Great option.

This is actually one of the 'features' of ICS (being able to disable apps w/o needing root). It basically very similar to "freezing" apps in TiBackup if you have root. It's generally much safer than outright deleting an app since if you do find you need it you can always re-enable it.
Make sure you have "auto update" unchecked in Google play first. Go to manage apps in settings and then go to "all".
Disable the ones that you don't need which is prolly a lot. You can also hide them if you want. While in your app drawer hit the menu button and choose hide apps.

[Q] Wanam Xposed app - NFC listen w/screen off

I noticed today that the Wanam Xposed app (Play Store) had an update that supposedly includes NFC reading with the screen off and locked. What does this mean for us? Am I right in thinking that there are extra mods required to actually make this function as a way to unlock/wake the phone ?
Are there any tutorials around that can explain what is needed to actually unlock the phone with an NFC tag??
Cheers.

[Q] Rooting and debloating my SM-N910F.

Hello guys,
I am new to android and I would like to root and debloat my note 4. I won't be making some big changes, I've got nova launcher + greenify and it's good enough for me as for customization but I experience a lot bigger battery drain on 5.0.1 than on 4.4.4 so I would like to root my note and check what are the wakelocks, and then if needed delete bloat apps like dropbox, facebook (maybe installing facebook lite?), facebook messenger, ANT radio and such.
My question is if rooting with cf-autoroot is enough to do this thing? Will Titanium backpup help me delete all the bloatware apps? What app will I need to stop baterry-draining wakelocks? And also, is there any way to block all but one apps from background data? Let's say I will turn off data in background and leave it just for whatsapp for notofications? I would like to block some google services also since i never use S voice or google now etc.
I would appreciate any kind of help.

For wakelock finding you can use GSAM battery monitor or BetterBatteryStats (BBS)
Greenify, Disable Service, or Amplify if you use Xposed to improve battery life.
Debloating can be done manually, or with scripts/programs around the forum here.
Or you can just flash SimplRom in and have a debloated rom immediatly
Hope it helps :good:
I've downloaded titanium backup pro. Can I unistall 'My Places' without any worries? I'm not using it.

I wouldn't uninstall My Places as I believe is tied in with system security. Just freeze it, as least then if removing it does cause any problems is an easy fix.

Guys my Note 4 is in standby mode since last night, what can be the problem? I turned off nearly all the settings like gps, bluetooth, nfc, etc. Only wifi is on.

Wakelock Detector app (not rooted)

Hi all! I have been experiencing unexplained battery drain with Android OS, Android System and Google Play Services in top 3 along with Screen. I need some app to detect which app/service is causing the Wakelocks so that I can take action. I cannot root due to restrictions on my corporate apps and they will stop working after root, which doesn't help. So I am looking for some app which can show wakelocks when I am not rooted.
Previously on Nexus 5 I had used 'Wakelock Detector' app, which had ADB workaround to make the app work even if your are not rooted. But unfortunately after Marshmallow update it stopped working.

Settings force closes when accessing NFC option.

For the past two days I have been experiencing force closes of the Settings app whenever NFC and Payment is selected, due to this I'm currently unable to turn on the NFC option in order to use Android Pay and (or) Samsung Pay. Has anyone else been experiencing this or might have some advice on what the issue may be?
Thanks

Have you disabled any apps? Maybe clear data on the NFC app?

Thanks for the advice, I'm currently using Package Disabler Pro and I had several apps disabled although I had unmarked the NFC service it would still be disable, I had to uninstall the app and reinstall, un-check NFC service and was able to access NFC and Payment. Guess it was an error on my side.
