Developer options are on Verizon version - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't know if it has been noticed but I have developer options on my note 3. It doesn't show under list in settings but I don't know if it's relocated and I can't find it. If that's the fact excuse the post. I downloaded a app that asks for mock locations like a spoof location app and once I opened the app it opened up developer options and it was already on. Can someone tell me where it's located or is it just there always on until you use something that requires a check or unchecked.

"About Phone"
Tap the "Build Number" several times. It'll appear in the list after that.

[Q] Developer Options

The Developer Options settings are not showing up in my settings screen.
I have done the 'tapping' and if I try tapping again it says "No need, you are already a developer", but the menu item isn't there.
This has worked fine on my nexus 4, but wont work on my nexus 7.
Could this be because I am the second user on the 7??
yes, only the master/administrator user, the first account, will have access to advanced settings like dev settings.

LG G2 "Notification Access" location.

Can someone check to see if this is available on your Verizon phone?
Go to settings on your "Phone" and find security, inside there find "Notification Access"
I am trying something on my gear watch and the stock LG G2. I am unable to find Notification access.
Notification access will let me list apps that can be notified of course. The guy who gave me the path to it wont respond with what carried his LG G2 is on or if its stock/rooted.
Below is what I am following to try and make this happen.

There is no "phone" setting. There is a "call" setting, and a "security" setting. But they are separate (not call> security> etc) , and neither have a "notification access" setting. So not sure what that guy is talking about. Isn't gear only compatible with Samsung devices?

Well....technically but where there is a will there is a way. :victory: I dont get all the notifications because you really need 4.3 to make the root and rom shine.
Just installed NotifierPro Free version and its settings - > service menu gives me access to the "noticication access" system menu that LG hid.

Edge 7 Problems

Hello,
I'm starting to hate my S7 Edge, and I'm really missing my Edge 6 Plus. Has anyone else had these problems and perhaps have any advice for resolving them? I've searched around and can't find any other reports of these problems.
First, if I'm traveling, *sometimes* I can't use the Google Navigation App if I'm in motion. For example, if I'm driving home, and I decide to get gas, if I say "OK Google, navigate to the Gas Station" It will of course find a close gas station, and allow me to choose which one. After I do so, the app will plot a course, but then will fail to acquire a satellite. The app will just sit there constantly saying "Acquiring Satellite" (or something to that effect, I can't remember the exact error) but it never does find the satellite. The only fix for this is to repeatedly turn off and on the Location services, until eventually it just works. Which is extremely infuriating not to mention dangerous while driving. I rememeber falling in love with my S6 Edge Plus because it had such an easy time navigating and this S7 Edge is so consistently terrible at locating my position.
Second, this is a problem I did not know I had until today: After mis-placing my phone, I went to the Google "Find my phone" web page on my computer, to force my cellphone to ring. I have used this service before with all my other phones and it never failed to force the device to ring. But this time, my S7 did not ring. Luckilly I was able to find my phone on my own. When I did locate it, i noticed that there was an icon in the notification tray saying "Ringing phone" and yet the phone was NOT RINGING! With the phone in hand, I tried to use the webpage to locate my phone by ringing it again. The same thing happened. It put a notification up that my phone was "ringing" in the phone's notification display, but made no actual noise.
I checked the settings - > Lock Screen and Security -> Find my Mobile, and it asks me for my Samsung Account Password.
Why my samsung account? Why not google? I don't understand.
So I signed in, and google location service is set to ON, as expected. Remote controls is also set to ON. There is a notification at the bottom that says to track and control my device, go to: findmymobile.samsung
So I go there, and I tell it to ring my phone, and what do you know? It rings my phone perfectly. Noise and everything.
How do I switch it over to google's service? I really don't like most of Samsung's software offerings, and would prefer to use native google apps out of convenience. I don't remember ever having this problem with any other galaxy device. Not even my tablet does this.
Can anyone help?
I haven't had any GPS problems with mine (U.S. Sprint version). What are your location settings? Make sure it's set to use GPS, and not just network or WiFi.
Find My Mobile and Android 's service are two different things FMM is Samsung's product. To make sure Google's is active, go to Device Administrators and make sure Android Device Manager is turned on. Then go to Apps, scroll to the bottom and tap on Google, then scroll down and tap on Security. Make sure 'Remotely locate this device' (and 'Allow remote lock and erase' if you want that) are turned on.

-Android Device Manager is turned on in the Device Administrators Section.
-I am not sure how to complete the second instructions. I do not see "Apps" as an option in the Settings panels. Can you advise where to find it?
Thank you!

Settings / Applications
Scroll to bottom, tap Google (on my Sprint S7 Edge, it's the very last item).
Scroll down until you see "Security" and tap there.
The first two toggles (on mine) are "Remotely locate this device" and "Allow remote unlock and erase."

Ah, I was able to find the settings under Google, however both are already checked. Are there any other settings I need to check?
{{Edit: I toggled the setting just to test it, and now it seems to be working. I don't know why this worked, because the setting was already properly configured. But it works now. *shrug* Thank you so very much for your help and patience!}}
Glad to help. I seen lots of things get fixed when you toggle a setting. Something in the settings file got corrupted, and toggling the settings on and off rewrote what should have already been there. At least that's my guess.

[Q] SM-T377V tapping Build 7x doesn't enable Developer Options

Unlike every other Android device that I've used, I get no result from tapping Build Number 7 (or more) times. Developer Options doesn't appear in the menu, there's no toast, nada.
Build NMF26X.T377VVRU1CRA1
7.1.1
Any ideas how else I could possibly turn on Developer Options?
I was signed into a non-admin "profile." After switching to default profile, the option appears in the Settings menu.
New question: How to designate admin to profiles, or is it limited to the first one with no configuration beyond that?

How do I UNHIDE an app????

I was having trouble with an app (Android Auto) so I disabled it, which I shouldn't have, because it hid the app on my screen. As a result, the app no longer functions with my car.
Can somebody please tell me how to UNHIDE the app? I have watched 20 YouTube videos on how to unhide apps, unfortunately, they all show things that I do not have on my version of Android 10.
Thank you!

Should be pretty simple and standard... I am assuming you are running stock A10 - if not, the names of the options in Settings may be a bit different, but the idea is still the same. Go to Settings -> Apps & notifications -> App Info. Above the app list there is a dropdown - make sure "ALL APPS" is selected, so both enabled and disabled apps are listed. You should see the Android Auto on the list below, marked as "Disabled". Tap on it - it will open the app details, then hit "Enable". That's all.

Thanks, but I did all of that! I see Android Auto on the list, but it is not marked as "Disabled." When I click on it, it appears as Enabled in the app details.
However, that's not the problem. The problem is that the app is hidden from my Home Screen. So, in order for me to access it, I have to go into the Settings, etc., etc.
Is there a way to UNHIDE the app so it appears on my Home Screen? Thanks.
PS: I am running stock Android 10.

This is now normal behavior for android auto, the app is hidden and will only show in your car when you connect to your car (as far as I know there is no way to use it on your phone like the older versions), even if you add a shortcut to homescreen it will only allow access to the settings screen (I assume).
If it's not working with your car, go to settings>apps>android auto>storage> and then clear storage to reset everything. While there check it has all permissions granted.
If you want to use AA on your phone maybe consider sideloading an old version (from a reputable store like F-Droid) which still worked from the handset.
