Trying to figure out something - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK I'm going bonkers trying to figure out how to turn off this feature. I get a call I get the robotic female voice telling me who is calling me. I just want the ringtone. Thank you in advance.

Disregard i figured it out

So what was it? My Note 3 did it and I want to turn it on for my Note 4.

Talk back in accessibility or driving mode (hands-free mode in controls section on note 3)?

Make sure to turn on driving mode. Go to settings, general, read notifications out loud and uncheck mark everything

[Q] Note 3 doesn't stay in MUTE mode

Hi,
I've a problem for few days:
My NOTE3 doesn't stay in MUTE or VIBRATE mode for long time.
Return in SOUND mode randomly.
I won't erase all data
What can I do ?
The first and best trouble shooting step would be a factory reset. I dont really see any other options, friend.

Are you sure you aren't hitting the volume up button? I thought I had that problem on my note 2 but it turned out to be a problem with the volume buttons on a case. Shaved them down a little and the problem went away.

[Solved] Phone settings help please

Every time I call somebody my phone would turn off the screen automatically it would still call them so I have to turn it back on by pressing the power button to use the phone again but with my old phone it had this thing called proximity sensor where it would turn off the screen when I put it up to my ear
Is there a setting like that on the note 4? I searched like on my other phone I have to open the phone app and then call settings but on this one it just settings and looked but cant find anything

theres absolutely a proximity sensor, it's only disabled in speakerphone or if you switch away from the phone app

I know you're trying to help but I don't think you understand what I am looking for and trying to do....
I am looking for an option either the exact option name as of my other phone or a similar one
to not automatically turn off the screen right as soon as I press the call button and only turn off the screen when I put it up to my ear
The exact option name on my other phones is “Turn on proximity sensor”
I have looked in the phone settings I found nothing saying that but now you're saying you tried it and works? What did you do? What are you talking about?...
Sent from my SM-T210R using XDA Free mobile app
I cant find the option but mine is doing it by default yes. so i think you have a bad sensor

So you're saying yours stays on when placing a call? But when you put it up to your face it turns off?
Edit: now my screen doesn't even turn off anymore it stays on even tried putting it up to my ear and it still stays on... I have to deal with this tomorrow...

That is how the phone works. You need to go back to stock with Odin. Root then try. Something might of got messed up in your flash. Also make sure no mods are turned on.

Thanks but figured it out! (I'm a... something haha)
The problem with the phone not turning off at all while making a call anymore was because I had head phones in I took those off and it turned off (why it doesn't turn off when you put it up to your ear when you have headphones beats me...)
Now for my original problem I totally spaced and just figured out a few mins ago but I have like a temp screen protector over the whole device and its covering up all the sensors and front facing camera so I took that off and the proximity sensor feature works now lol so thanks guys for replying haha

Incoming notification issue/glitch??!

Is it just my nexus (AT&T version ) or does anybody else experience this... When using the phone and a new notification comes in, it appears at the top of the screen however it cannot be clicked to enter the notifications. Its more annoying when your using the phone and an incoming call comes and the incoming notification at the top says 'dismiss' or 'answer' yet I cannot click either of them! Have to swipe the notification away the enter the phone app to answer the darn call and by that time I've missed the call !!

No I'm on the AT&T variant and the Heads up Notification have always worked to open up the sending app. I constantly use it when texting my girlfriend and playing a game and when someone calls I've been able to both reject and accept the calls? Have you rooted or unlocked boot loader or anything? Or is it still stock?

How new is it? Was it preordered? When you tap the notification and hold, does a grayish mark on the box, extend from your finger to the edges?

Mine just started doing this a few days ago. I had completely wiped and flashed all the new 5.0.1 update. All was fine though until a few days ago and I haven't been able to click on the notifications to open them. When a call comes in, I can hit the power button and turn the screen off, then push it again to turn it back on, and I am able to answer. I have been trying to find a fix so I won't have to completely wipe again.

I too have the exact same problem. Normal one though not AT&T

My phone vibrates for no 'reason'

Greetings all,
I have a new Note5 and overall I like it.
As you might expect I have been working feverishly to find up to date app solutions for my usage model and that will work on an unrooted device. I despise all that conspire to force this upon us! Anyway I have been testing loads of apps and somewhere along the way something has been set to vibrate to indicate something. It is happening at fairly random intervals and nothing shows on screen or in the pull down that accounts for it.
I have looked for events that are pending, past due, etc. I don't get many texts. So, it isn't that. I have even turned on airplane mode which should prevent any kind of updaes or pushes that might trigger an notice.I have checked all of the apps I am using and none are set to vibrate only. From the initial turn on of this phone I have run package disabler pro for Samsung. Using a basic list from this xda thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/general/guide-bloating-touchwizzing-note-5-t3184563. I have restarted the phone several times as well
Can anyone suggest some kind of system monitor/logging app that I can load that will allow me to find out which application is triggering this? Is there some other way I can find out what is triggering this event? I expect that a logging app will eat battery more but on a temp basis that would be ok.
Thanks all and here's to someone finding a way for us to root our notes without messing up our warranty and secure payment...

If you are talking about how it vibrates when you first pick it up for seemingly no reason, then that's a feature. It's to let you know you have notifications. It's called smart alert, you can disable it in the gestures menu.
vibrate (and sound) for 'no reason'
Thanks _MetalHead_
But no. This happens when it is sitting undisturbed. I will check and turn off that feature if it isnt already so it isnt adding to the confusion.
If I didnt say, I find no idication of active alarms or notifications.

Do you have any Bluetooth devices connected? I had a smart watch with my S5. Every time it connected or disconnected, the phone would vibrate. This was especially annoying when I left the watch in the bedroom while sitting in the living room with my phone. Every few minutes it would connect/disconnect and the phone would vibrate.

Not clear if this is contributing. Will turn BT off to be certain.
Actually, I think I can say for certain no. This has happened in airplane mode.
That is why I am looking for a system logging application or some equivalent method.

Hi, Go to settings and go to S Pen Option, and turn off all S Pen alerts, including power saver one.

Yeah, I re-read your OP, and noticed you said it was happening in airplane mode.
The S-Pen suggestion above seems worth pursuing.
Good luck!
I have the same problem. It would just randomly vibrate. I think is something to do with Google notifications.

2 questions.

Hey guys I do have two questions to ask. I would greatly appreciate some answers and feedback. First off is it possible to flash the AT&T LG v40 ROM to a T-Mobile LG v40? Second I'm having a problem with my sound in terms of the notifications and the ringer. It turns itself on at certain times yet I don't have context awareness enabled. Is there some thing I might have enabled that makes it turn on like that.

It happened to me too.
I spent about an hour going into the Notification Settings for every application and 'Resetting' them all to Default while making sure Do Not Disturb was turned off on all Apps.
Then went back and set the Do Not Disturb to the settings of my choice in each app and for phone-calls and it's never failed me yet. I'm sure there's an easier way to do it, but I only know this way.
