It seems as if my sensor had broken. There's no way to wake the screen during phone calls, and when they end I have to pull the battery because other wise the screen just stays black. I'd just like to disable it altogether, any help?

This seems to be a common problem. I had this. I fixed it the first time by re calibrating the sensor and doing all of these stupid things with the terminal. The second time I figured out that all that has to be done is blow some compressed air into the earpiece for 10-30 seconds. Then it's fixed.

Do you have a case on your phone? Mine was doing the same thing and the air wasn't the cure it was the case. It didn't actually cover it or touch the sensor but it was close enough to it that it screws it up. Just an idea.. Take the case off...

Anyone else notice that when tapping the top half the screen it feels like it's slight loose? I just activated it an hour ago :-\

Shake it it does the same sound.. I thought it was the screen but I'm thinking it's the lens in the camera clicking around.
I just posted about this in another thread but now I'm curious are only some phones doing this or is it just the way the phone is. It doesn't seem like a big a deal but for a $600 phone I would expect it not to rattle when I touch it
No noise or rattling on my phone..

No noise here neither but I notice that bottom of the screen is collecting dust and if I look closed enough I can see a gap between the screen and the bezel I wonder if tmobile would replaced my unit

try re-activating it. Also try a factory reset, should solve your loose screen problem.

I does... same noise when I shake it. Kind of ridiculous. It hasn't even been outside yet. I'm still rocking the LTE
I have to take notes on my 2 when using the phone. Sure would be nice if the speaker phone would automatically turn on when I pull the stylus to scribble a note. Looked for a setting and searched to try and find a mod that does this. If you know how to do this please let me know. Thx. GA

I'd say if an app could do it it'd be this one:

I use Bluetooth a lot during the day, and especially when I want to take notes during a phone call. Speaker is nice, but not always loud/clear enough to use regularly.

I modded my output volumes so speaker is pretty loud now. No problems hearing. Even with my old ears. Lol

Thanks, I downloaded tasker, but it takes a pretty steep learning curve to use it. Reviewing utube vids to try and figure it out. If you have it down, maybe you can post the steps to have it turn on the speaker when the phone is in use and the stylus is pulled. Thanks.

I just don't know how to set a context involving pen detection. my only problem with Tasker is figuring out how to get it automate features that are particular to this phone such as the s pen and multi Window

My phone goes into a reboot loop after 5 seconds of being the battery being put in.
I can make it into the Samsung download screen but then it reboots again. I'm also unable to get into the recovery now, or manually reboot.
I figure the phone is probably done for, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Stuck power button.
I can hear the click of the button. So I can't imagine it would be that...
Sent from my LG-D803 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Even with the audible click this is a known issue with these exact symptoms.
Disassemble the device, clean the power button with a q-tip and Isopropyl alcohol let dry then reassemble.
Also have a look at the battery itself, is there any bulging or swelling? That could be the problem.
Alright I'll give it a go.
As for the battery, it was replaced about a month ago, no bulging is visible.
Sent from my LG-D803 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
So that actually worked. I'm quite surprised considering the button is soldered on the board and I just soaked it with rubbing alcohol. Thanks.

What is the little black dot on the top of the bezel next to the headphone jack? I can not figure it out for the life of me.

And I'm not talking about the mic, I'm talking about the bigger one above the front cam, on the bezel.

I personally love the voice commands. You can say "Snooze" when the alarm goes off and it'll snooze. If someone calls, you can just say "Answer" and it'll put it right on speakerphone. If you're in the camera, you can just say "Cheese" or "Shoot" and not have to hit the screen and cause a blurry shot.

Yupp use the watchon app prey easy setup.
As far as everything else, spend 10 minutes watching an in depth review on YouTube and you'll see everything you can do.

The S4 has has a built in thermometer... There are apps in the market that work with it...or you can use the app called S Health on your phone. With the latest 4.3 update you can now use the Galaxy Gear.

Something similar happened to my sisters g3 two days ago. She pulled down the notification but it only came half way and the phone froze. A battery pull was the only way to fix it, thankfully it hasn't happened since.

Thanks for your help. I think when I put this otter box symmetry on I had some dust or something messing it up. I took it off and it immediately started working. Blew the case out with duster and now I'm good.

That's interesting. My sister doesn't have a case yet so I guess her issue must be different. Btw if it happens again enable developer mode and show touches, maybe your case is causing ghost touches.

Good thinking on the developer options. That might come in handy if I need to take it back to best buy. I've got the headphones Jack issues plugging it into my car stereo as well. Software can fix that so no big deal.
