Vibration when phone is picked up. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Just picked up my S4 this morning. Something odd I have noticed. If I have a notification on my phone, when I pick it up the phone vibrates. Is that normal? Is there any way to disable that?

[Q] Can't Get Most Recent OTA on Straight Talk

Hey all,
So I've been constantly checking for the OTA with my Straight Talk SIM, and nothing ever happens. It's like the phone isn't even looking for it. It says I have to switch to CDMA mode, so I do, but then still, nothing happens. It's frustrating. Do I have to have a working Verizon SIM for the phone to look for the update? I have an old Verizon micro SIM that the phone recognizes but it's not making a difference...
Anyone?

You have to be on Verizon to get the ota.

No your not stuck but it takes a few steps to get the update on straight talk. You will not b able to get the ota but you can side load the update with ADB and fastboot if u know what you r doing. I don't own a DNA so I don't know much about them but I'm sure u can find instructions to flash a ruu if you look around this site long enough. Good luck and hope it works out, and by the way I was gonna get the DNA on straight talk but heard MMS wasn't working, is this still a problem?

[REQ] Verizon data usage widget

Does anyone know where to get the data usage widget.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Download my verizon from the playstore. The widget will appear in your app drawer after the install.

Mine doesn't work right. It doesn't update my usage until I open it... Kinda misleading if you ask me. Just thought I would throw that out there.
Thanks,

Thanks. I didn't realize that's where it came from. Also, I know about the lack of auto update, I just use it to get a general idea so manual is fine

It does not auto-update.

Screenshot not available thru palm swipe!

I was trying earlier and I guess its not available for this Phone. You have to do the power and home button trick. That sucks!

Could you please explain just how to 'turn it on'
And how to do a palm swipe screenshot?
This will be useful to other new users too and a great reference.
Thanks a... And I've added a thanks to Kangburra!
I didnt turn nothing on. Its already on. All you have to do is swipe but make sure the sensors up by the camera see the tips of your fingers.

[Q] Sending S4 back to Verizon

So for anyone that has sent theirs back to try and get on with the old software on the phone... I called and told them my speaker wasn't working and they are sending me a new one but I believe it is going to be a factory refurbished black 16gb...what are my chances of it having old software so I can root, unlock and get custom recovery?! Anyone that has experienced this your input would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!!

I really have no idea, but 50/50 is my guess.

If you took the time to search there many posts of ppl sending back and getting phones with MDK, also those with new OTA, so like I said, it's a crap shoot and it's 50/50.. Cant hurt to try, though
The chances likely decrease each day for getting the MDK build so the sooner the better.

Nobody would know the chances. Good luck with your refurbished. I dont know about sending in a perfectly working phone to receive a refurb, I guess if you want the MDK then do what you gotta do. I personally cant stand the purple smear on the MDK build...its horrible and unbearable.

All roms built off of mdk do this smearing, even AOSP builds. Its very noticeable in the gallery too.
I'm surprised nobody notices it other than me, its the most annoying thing to deal with, makes the gs4 screen look crappy.

[Q] DNA Overheating issues

Anyone else have issues with their phone getting super hot? Mines been up to 46°C, just from using it for about an hour. Its not rooted or anything. Completely stock.

My phone did this last week. Im rooted and running CM10 had been for like 2+ months. I made a call on the speakerphone and the phone got extremely hot then my speakerphone blew out! Ended up getting a replacement.

Is the phone not being used or are you doing anything when it gets hot. This phone for me anyway hasn't gotten nearly as warm as my nexus 4
