[Q] NFC Issue - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I've been using the NFC with the TecTiles when I first got the phone and everything was working fine. I recently started running into a problem with the NFC where it wouldn't work. I would have to go into the system menu, turn NFC off and turn it back on in order for it to read the tags. A few minutes later it wouldn't read the same tag until I turn it off and on again. What could be causing this behavior? I'm running FreeGS3_GSM_R3_FiveOhFive rom, with the baseband of T999UVLEM

Have you tried rebooting the phone?

Are you sure it's plugged in?

Yes even after reboot, it would still occur. Maybe it's an issue with the rom itself?

Unable to disconnect any call

Hi,
I am facing a typical problem that during every call if I swipe the middle white phone icon to the left to disconnect call, of does not work. I tried it multiple times. Can someone please suggest if I am doing it improperly.
Thanks for your time.

Um. If you're talking about the big red bar with the phone icon all you do is press it.

Thanks for your reply.
I just tried to make a call from another phone to my GNex to verify and my phone is coming as Switched off. Whereas my Gnex is ON and I am able to make phone calls from it to others, but unable to receive any.
Does anyone reported similar issues?
I don't understand your problem. Your first post says you are unable to decline incoming calls. The second post says you can't receive any calls. Which one is it?

I was just doing some tests to decline incoming calls and found the second issue. Below are the problems I am facing -
1. I am unable to decline / disconnect any incoming call. If I swipe the white middle call icon to left the phone vibrates but do not disconnect the call.
2. If phone screen is off for more than 1 hours (appx.) then I think phone goes into deep sleep mode. If I try calling my gnex from other mobile then a switched off message comes. This problem is fixed once I make a dummy call / send any message to other phone.
My phone is not rooted. I would appreciate the feedbacks.
Nvm, misread

NP.
I was just searching the forums but could not any similar thread on these problems. Am I doing something wrong or is it a phone H/W issue?
I've never heard of it before. If you're on stock rom the only thing to try could be a hard reset and if that doesn't help manually reflash factory images. If all fails, I'd return the phone.

Thanks again for your response.
I have few apps purchased, so will these be removed once I hard reset my phone? Is there any way to get them back without purchasing again.

Google play will remember the purchases. They are tied to your Google account. After you login with your Google account you can download them again without charge. Even on a different phone.

I did a hard reset of my gnex. The call disconnect bug got fixed automatically but not the other one (problem# 2). My phone is still coming as switched off at times.
Anything else I can do to fix it.

this might be a dumb question, but are you running jelly bean or ice cream sandwich 4.0.4? Because 4.0.4 had signal problem...

I'd try:
1) unlock bootloader (if you haven't done this already)
2) backup /sdcard
3) flash stock JB images: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Good luck, and I obviously got steps 1 and 2 mixed up: first backup /sdcard, because unlocking your bootloader will wipe it.
I am not sure if it is bug but here is what I observed in past 6 hours.
There is network issue with gnex (phone is coming switched off intermittently) when Mobile networks -> Data Enable flag is NOT checked.
But when data network link is enabled there is no issue with my phone and it works without issues or disconnects.
I have still not rooted / flashed the phone.

Thanks. Wanted to make sure it wasn't my phone. Plus it was odd that my wife's phone using tasks 5.9.13 Rom works fine.

[Q] Wifi connecting issue

Since last couple of months I'm facing this. My wifi, once connected, stays connected. But once turned off, after turning on, it would just show the connection as saved, secured with wpa2 and won't connect. Turning off and on multiple times doesn't help as well. Just if i keep it off for some hours or so, then turn it on, it might sometimes get connected. The signal strength is excellent though and once connected, it stays connected. I've tried factory resetting, formatting data as well. Tried a lot of different roms but in vain. Could this be a hardware issue? Is there any workaround for this?
Does this occur with all wifi locations?
Are you running stock rom?

I didn't think the radio would impact Wi-Fi.
I would try to see what happens on another Wi-Fi hotspot, to rule out something with the home wi-fi.

My Nexus does not sleep

And I have another problem with my nexus .
It's slow, doesnt always react to input, etc etc.
I already am on stock and it seems that I just have to live with these problems.
But the newest thing is that doesnt go to sleep. When I press the power button the device turns off for 2-20 seconds and turns then back on again. I already did a factory reset and as i mentioned above I am on Stock Firmwar/Rom (4.3).
Any ideas?

I have a idea that COULD solve all your issues.
Go back to stock via fastboot.

Use betterbatterystats or a wakelock detector to see what is waking your device.

Screen turns itself back on

Hey guys. I'm new to the Galaxy Nexus forum and I need help. My phone has been turning its screen back on after I lock it. Most people say its a hardware issue but I just got this phone and its brand new. Is it a software issue?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
You bet it can. Try factory resetting your phone. I do assume you're still running stock everything.
If you are and that fails, a hardware issue could be due to a sticky or faulty power button.
I'm running stock 4.2.2 and there's barely anything on it right now. I'm the second owner of this phone but the original owner never used it so I don't know what else is wrong with it.

usually caused by an application (generally by a live wallpaper). boot into safe mode and see if it persists.
