Is anyone else having a weird hollow spring noise coming from their phone? Its audible when tapping the screen. Did i get a lemon or is this normal, it has been driving me insane.

im pretty sure its just the vibration mechanism. My s2 and s3 did this too.
Mine does this I believe when I pick the phone when screen is off to let me know I have notifications.

It isn't a vibration, it is more like something is loose inside the phone that makes a buzz when I tap on the screen.
That's just how the phone is built. Like if I smack it against my hand it'll feel like it's kinda vibrating. It's not an issue.

Correct. that is the vibration mechanism you are hearing/feeling.
I think it is kind of weird, but that is what it is.

Happens to me as well, figured it was nothing to worry about.

Just randomally goes to lock screen? Even when using the device I have my screen timeout for two mins but this random ally happens sometime twice less then a minute.

I believe I found out what's causing it.. lol I am wearing a magnetic ring and when I touch near the bottom left on the back it turns the display off weird?

So apparently its supossed to do that with magnets like in a case but works with my ring kinda cool.

Had the same problem. Used to fold the front of my case behind the tablet to use Kindle app for example then realised the magnets were causing the screen to lock. Was driving me nuts for a while and I was all ready to return the tablet to the store. All's well now though :good:
the speaking 'answer' out loud feature isn't working for me..
it's turned on in my s voice, and features like 'cheese' to take a picture ARE working.. so what gives?
anyone know what might cause this?

do you mean when you ask "s-voice" the answer is not spoken?
try to hit the little face next to the mic, this will activate voice prompt.

Different issue but sort of related, for me the alarm snooze doesn't work. I tell it "snooze" but it keeps going. Maybe it knows I'm still half asleep

Why yes I do....seeing how I was just clearing up what was being discussed as people were confused and how I don't actually use s-voice I figured why turn on the option just for a screen shot.

I just noticed this every time I scroll in the app draw my apps smear and this also happens with some widgets. Has anyone else experienced this. Please help

it's smearing because whenever you see black on the phone the pixels are completely off, so when you swiped quickly in app drawers it's the phone not being able to turn on the pixels on quick enough so you see smearing.
Thanks for the reply. But is it software or hardware problem

Anyone experiencing a reboot after a long call? I get one once a day and it's usually after I set the phone down on a desk. Not really having this issue any other time. Anyone have any ideas?
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
Well I did a battery pull and now don't really have this issue, at least not like I did. I still occasionally get one once a week when setting the phone down. Any ideas? Is it the phone or the battery?

"Once a week"... lol you act like it's been out for months now. It's only been out for 2 weeks. But I'm glad you solved your problem.

Hi, I just picked up this s4 i337m from Rogers and it seems the vibration is very faint. I'm running cyanogen mod and I increased the vibrate to max and it still isn't like my old s3's. Is there any other ways to fix this?
Sent from my SGH-I337M using xda app-developers app
Anybody? Any other tweaks to increase vibration? I already turned it all the way up in the settings.

To be honest, I downloaded some vibration sounds as suggested by another user.... it sounds like the phone is vibration but it really isn't......
Yeah I'm going to try that. To be honest its not that bad but if I could make it more powerfu so when its in my pocket I could actually feel it more.

I haven't found anything other than adding the vibration sound, it definately isn't the same as the S3, not sure if a different rom would make a difference. I am not rooting for that though... least not yet.
Oh well lol, guess I'll just have to get used to this. Everything else on this phone is flawless!
