Looks like something is using GPS. Reboot the phone and see how that goes.

And turn GPS off when not needed.

Left GPS on 24/7 with no problem but recently installed Citymapper which might be the offender.

Quick question guys

My dad recently got an S4, and keeps seeing a "Tag not supported" message appear, for no apparent reason. Or at least not one he can figure out

Any idea what would cause this?

DELETED_83755 · 2 Jun 2013 at 17:33

He probably has a NFC chipped card eg. Oyster card or gym card next to where he keeps the phone haha.

toString · 2 Jun 2013 at 17:37

lol, probably best to turn off NFC if he doesn't use it.

Steedie · 2 Jun 2013 at 17:47

That would make sense as its kept in a wallet style case with his cards

Thanks guys

Anyone use NFC with their S4?

I want to, it'd make McDonalds drive through a breeze

But no idea how to use it

Yes. Will use it more when I get a proper car mount.

Liquidfox · 2 Jun 2013 at 23:58

I'm presuming the people that use NFC have Barclaycards? I saw the new Visa NFC advert tonight with a release date of "Before December 2013" so I'm looking forward to that.

Was it the Spigen neo Hybrid being talked about as a good case to go with? I want to get one asap, as much as I love the naked phone, it just feels that bit too fragile!!

Are you a screen protector man timbrad?

GreenMint · 3 Jun 2013 at 01:45

I was with the iPhone, but haven't got one on here yet!

I know the screen is tougher, but that also makes me more paranoid about it!!

If you want some media devil ones for free hit my trust and I'll send them to you. I'm now on my third replacement request and so have ordered the Htc one instead.

Yep, the spigen neo hybrid is awesome! Check the S4 accessories thread mate, got a few pics up there of the case!

AndyCr15 · 3 Jun 2013 at 07:03

I do, but don't use my NFC with that, no.

I noticed that ad too. Looking forward to using my phone to pay for small transactions.

Great case! Only slight issues are it makes the phone a touch heavier and larger (despite the case being rather light on its own) and I have to often take off the coloured shell to plug some USB cables into the phone.

I'm still trying to work whether I can be bothered to wait for the 32GB model or acecept that Vodafone will probably not stock it. I pretended to be an entirely new customer to see if I could get any new information and was told a load of rubbish about how you can still use app2sd to move apps. Have a look at the nonsense that Vodafone are putting out.

Sujit: Hello, you're chatting with Sujit, one of Vodafone's online sales specialists. May I take your name please?

You: Hi, my name is Jamie and I'm looking to become a new Vodafone customer.

Sujit: Hello Jamie

Sujit: Great!! I appreciate your interest in Vodafone

You: I want the 32GB Samasung Galaxy S4 but cannot yet see it on your website.

You: Can you tell me when this model will be available please?

Sujit: Well at the moment we have only Samsung galaxy S4 16GB with us

You: Sadly that phone has only 8GB available to the end user and is not enough.The 32GB model has 25GB available. Is is a model you are planning to stock?

Sujit: You can enter memory card in it upto 64GB

You: you cannot install software on a memory card, only music, pictures etc. I wanted the extra space for the Gameloft /EA games which are 1-2GB each!

Sujit: You can do one thing

Sujit: You can simply install Move to SD apps in your phone so once you install apps in phone then you can transfer it to SD card

You: Sadly apps2SD only works on the older versions of android.

Sujit: You can find some apps in Market to transfer your apps from phone to SD

You: I didn't know that. Are you able to tell me any please?

Sujit: There is another one APPTOSD

You: I wasn't aware of this and will check this app. Thanks for your help

Thanks guys, I'll check it out!

How much bulk does it add? And could you suggest a dock that would fit the phone in with the case on? last thing I want to be doing is on off on off!!

That'd be great mate, thankyou, very kind

Whats happened ot make you be on your 3rd replacement? Sounds like a hellish route!

doodah · 3 Jun 2013 at 12:06

It's noticeable - made one handed use slightly more difficult but you adapt very quickly.

Just measured; 3mm bezel and 6mm with the case on.
