Does anyone know if we can disable the NFC noise? I've deleted the volume sounds through root explorer but can't for the life of me get rid of the NFC sounds the only optionis extract.
turn off nfc ?
I would say this is due to security concerns..
IF nfc triggered without vibration/sound, you may not know you are being tap..
Same as why nfc always auto disabled on screen off.

finally found out from logcat that it's NFC keep playing the annoying sound repeatedly once I place my phone on my "uneven" wallet!
Turned off NFC now I have a harmony phone

Proximity sensor red faint light always on now , randomly turned on not sure why....
I have no motion things enabled
I tried turning off proximity sensor for phone
Ive rebooted several times
Ive turned off auto brightness
Im running the stock s3 rom rooted.
Anyone have any ideas how i can fix this?
Hmm.. My quick research of this makes me think you have a rogue app, a sticky setting or a defective sensor.
Let's be sure we're looking at the right thing. Your faint red light is just to the left of the front camera lens, correct? If so, then it's a definite indication that you're proximity sensor is on and constantly taking a reading.
Is it always on, from power on to power off? Or does it turn on once the phone has booted up? Does it stay on long after the screen shuts off during idle?
This sensor is used by motion features and talking functions. Triple check that you don't have 'smart stay' turned on, or one of the other super cool gs3 features enabled. I'd consider turning them all on manually, rebooting and then turning them all off followed by another reboot.
Lastly, take a look at your apps. Any kind of app that involves motion or talking (Voxer, Skype, certain games etc) can activate the proximity sensor and keep it on. A lot of those apps start on boot and never go away. Close them one at a time, or consider uninstalling suspect apps temporarily.
As a hardware test you can install Elixer2 from the play store (for free). Its sensors section allows you to turn the proximity sensor on and off, as well as test the near and far readings. If all else has failed, it might be nice to know that at the very least, your sensor can be turned off.
Report back with results from everything and we'll go from there.

Well i was using Viber, when i turned it off manually, the red sensor light went off. So it must be ab application that is keeping that sensor on all the time. Smart stay does not need proximity sensor and enabling or disabling it causes no change to sensors. Hope this will help ya

Thank you so much for the awesome response. I didn't find any other similar responses on the Internet other then " oh that's just the ir sensor don't worry about it". I too have viber and I believe that was the app causing the issue because of the way it integrates itself with the phone, can't be certain because so many apps updated as of late but it is gone now thankfully.
I get this when I`m in a dark room. The sensor will turn on. The only way to correct it is to restart the phone.
Plausible Solution
I don't know if this works 100% of the time, but it HAS worked for me. Go to your Viber application, menu, and then EXIT the app. Viber seems to be the culprit, so if you find exiting the app manually every time bothersome, you might be better off uninstalling the thing. Click the Thanks button if it helps =p

Disable Proximity Sensor
I´m trying to disable my proximity sensor in GS3. I tried with Hardware Disabler and doesn´t work, and the Elixir2 can´t disable the sensors.
Does anyone know another app to disable the proximity sensor?

Hello
For some reason the flash goes off when I get notifications now. It's driving me nuts trying to find out how to turn it off. The accessibility feature is set to 'off' so I don't know where else to find a way to turn this annoyance off! I should also mention that I don't have a notification app installed... Unless there's an Asus one I never noticed.
Any idea?
I believe its under display settings and turn off led indicator, i believe that's what causing that.
1) Can i disable the functions of "cardiac activity" "pedometer" ?!
2) Battery life is very bad, what can I do to optimize it?
3) On reminders and alarm clocks, it doesn't vibrate, why?
nothing?

I just got mine and the performance was horrible. I had to let the software update to 5.x from 4.x and after that was done I deleted it from my phone and then did a factory reset on the watch. After I did all that I used a moto watchface and had 36 hours.
On optimising battery life:
Turn off gestures (tilt to wake, etc), ambient mode (the display doesn't need to be on all the time, press the side button or tap the screen), and wifi. I also turn mine off every night when I go to sleep (I never wear a watch to bed, anyway) and I can usually get 3-4 days out of mine, with decent use of the actual smartwatch features (voice texting, media control, responding to notifications).

Although it rear tilt to wake option is disabled, the watch lights up when it turned up in the display.
Probably something else causing it to light up, but I'm not sure now what.
If there is a clock faces that have settings for this, those in the WatchMaker Premium application do not have this option to turn off tilt to wake up for reduce the battery consumation.

The Android Wear app is the only place that I know of where the tilt to wake option is located.
I don't use either Facer or Watchmaker Premium, so I'm not sure about that option under either app.
Using either app can cause extra battery drain, since the watch communicates with the phone constantly (or at least frequently) to update the watch face.

You're right. I probably had in mind the possibility of stopping this option from the watch itself, which does not happen until you stop the application Android Wear, as you mentioned.
Alternatively, it is talking about is removing dim off the clock.
Thanks for your guidance.
I have done this on a galaxy s4 by editing a system file. Basically the issue is this, I am in skype calls while playing games on my phone. So everytime my hand goes over/near the sensor the screen goes black because I am in a call, highly annoying. I simply want it completely disabled, or even a better, a way to quickly turn it on and off. Any help? Thanks.
I've got an issue with my proximity sensor. My phone screen likes to turn off and on by itself randomly.. I can find no way on pie to disable sensors, forcing me to revert to Oreo for Xposed to get the job done.. screen stays on now but I don't have Android 9. And I won't be able to get 10 either unless I fix it or there's a way to disable the sensor I didn't find. Can anyone out there help?
Solved. I opened the phone and physically disconnected.
