Proximity sensor usage - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Maybe a silly question but I have the Samsung flip case and have seen apps that lock your phone when proximity sensor is covered.
Does anybody know if this will cause a drain of the battery and also does it mean problems in low light?

Use Tasker. You can do prety much everything with all your sensors, not just the proximity one.

NFC not working

Hi all,
My friend bought an Galaxy S3 3 days ago... yesterday, he got an update through the kies (4.1.2 XXELLA). When he tries NFC, it doesn't work. We are taping our phones but they aren't reacting!!!
Is this an firmware issue or hardwere issue?! how can i test the NFC chip like we test other sensors by pressing *#0*# ?!
Regards,
Questions go in the QA section, not general.

Notification Ringtone Question

I want to record a few custom notification alerts for apps such as tapatalk and the like. Simple things like "Tapatalk has some updates" so I can stop wondering which alert I just heard and try to remember which app it is for. I have tried a couple ringtone apps but they don't seem to be working to do much if anything with things I record.
Has anyone done this on the note 2 and can they recommend not only a working app for it but also a quick 1,2,3 of the steps they follow?

Questions looking for an app can not be posted in the app forum? That seems rather odd to me.

They are a section to post actual themes and apps not to be clustered with questions. Questions go in the questions section.

LOL!!!
Just got a mental image of someone scarfing down pickles. Anyway, 0-9 can be set just by holding down the button in the Dialer, though 1 is reserved for voice mail.

Neither
I haven't experienced this problem, nor have I heard or it from anyone I know with the device. Maybe you have a defective device?
Just rub the weird spot and it will smooth out.

Samsung Galaxy S band vs Samsung Galaxy Gear for Samsung Galaxy s4

I have been waiting for the s band for a long time and it still hasn't come out should I just forget about it and opt-out for the galaxy gear? I need the best one wrist band for health and just curious does the galaxy gear have all the sensors that the s band has built into it? I know its also a smart watch but there's health apps for it so will they give m the best accurate data or what should I do? Can it read my heart beat? Does it have a pedometer? Can it measure my calorie reduction? Can it monitor my sleep? Does it have all these sensors like the s band?
