Settings 4 tabs - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've seen it discussed a couple of times how people are enjoying the new settings tabs that are organized in 4 parts. I don't have that on my new note 3. It looks exactly as it did on my note 2. Am I missing something or maybe a check box that should be checked?
I'm stock (of course) and in 'about phone' it says 4.3
Any help would be appreciated...

It actually is on the phone, you just can choose either or.
Click on the menu button within settings to change it.
I Prefer the regular one screen for the Settings... its nice to have options.

GENIUS! i've been seeing it in lots of videos for the international versions and other hands on clips, but wondered why it was that we didn't have the same menu. thanks for pointing it out! :good:

It's interesting that many people hate the 4 tabbed settings and cant switch to the single page vzw users have, and vzw users want the 4 tabbed settings lol. At least we have both options.

Or AntTek App Manager, free.
You can natively freeze them with ICS, in your app drawer (stock TW Launcher) drag the app icon to app info, and click disable
I removed them. No need to freeze if your plan on not using them. Free up internal space.

From your app drawer, click and hold on the program you want, and it should take you to your home screen....at the top you should see "App Info". Drag the app icon onto that and it'll display the info you need.

hrmm...maybe it's because I haven't had my morning tequila shot yet but I don't see any such app info icon when I do what you're saying. I go to the app drawer, click and hold an app, it takes me to the home screen, but there's nothing anywhere that says app info.
Could this be something that's not on the ATT version of the phone?
::edit:: ok...I'm an idiot. I found it....but it's at the bottom of the screen, not at the top.
I just disabled them except for samsung account which I use for Samsung Dive.

I had to uninstall updates and then disable became an option.
Using the app info method works great if you are not rooted.
In the event you are rooted, using TB is easier. both work without any issues for all listed apps in the op.

Do you need to be rooted to do this?

No sir. You can do this with most of the pre-installed carrier software. I believe the option is "disable". When you see it you'll know what I mean. In fact it was the one thing that made me think that I wouldn't have to root my phone. Then I quickly got annoyed by the T-Mobile startup and shut down sounds. Can someone please tell T-Mobile to leave the standard start up and shut down sequence alone. I mean expect that from Verizon; Have you heard any of their phones start up? They're crazy obnoxious.
Great feature! You can also go to settings-applications-all and do or that way. Just uninstall updates and then you will have the disable button. Thanks for the top all.

[Q] Where is Developer Options and USB Debugging?

Wow, I know I'm not going crazy. I've unlocked my phone and now trying to root it, yet when I go into the Nexus 4 settings I dont see Developer options so that I can turn on USB Debugging.
Am I going crazy? Is there a trick that I just havent found yet although I feel I've searched everywhere? Can anyone help?

Its a hidden option. Like the previous poster said go into settings and find about phone then tap on about phone 7 times fast and it will unhide the developer options.

It is actually "settings>about phone>build number", then hit 7 times.
Well, I was a little confused with hitting the About phone 7 times, but clicking the build number 7 times makes more sense. Why in the world does the developers of Android have to drive you crazy by all of the sudden hiding important menus. errr.

Does anyone know how to access the hiddenmenu.apk it looks useful but im not sure how to open this app any help would be nice
Sent from my SPH-L720
there are codes to access it... such as ##3424# and ##3282# and ##786# and so on... but if you don't know what you are doing then don't use them
Go to about phone screen inside the phones settings where the build number is and tap the build number and a count down begins, continue tapping build number and developer options menu will be unlocked.

Because for the majority of people have no use for the development options and they don't want people messing around with things they have no idea about.
Anyone who has use for them could easily find out to access them with a quick search.

Glad to see that Urlacher decided to retire instead of puting on a different team's colors...
Try changing the system font back to default (Settings>Display>Fonts) that may have something to do with it.
Definitely glad about that as well! But yup we tried changing it back already and nothing...im @ a loss..
Im sure its some simple setting im over looking..

Try this:
When you pull down the notification window, click on the time in the top left. This will pull up those settings... check to see that both are the same.
It could be that the format you have set is too long to fit in that spot.

[WIP 5/3/14] CSC Feature edits for GS5

CSC Features are cool because you can enable little features that are for whatever reason turned off by Samsung. Here are some that I have found across the internet.
A.) PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE MESSING WITH THIS!! Either make a backup in recovery, or make a backup of your feature.xml by copying the original/unedited to your SD Card.
B.) Download a root browser and grant it root permission.
C.) Go to system/csc/feature.xml
D.) Find the lines that you wanna change, and change it to what I have underlined/bolded. OR some are not in there and you can just add those lines right in (lines that are not in that can just be added will be highlighted in blue). Make sure the new lines are between <FeatureSet> </FeatureSet> . Now it's time for the features that can be enabled:
1. Enable call duration in call log: <CscFeature_Contact_DisableCallDuration>false</ (thanks to @eyecon82)
2. Enable camera shutter sound on/off menu: <CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
3. Add an exit menu to the stock web browser: <CscFeature_Web_AddOptionToTerminate>true</CscFeature_Web_AddOptionToTerminate>
4. Enable infinite scrolling in home screen and app drawer: <CscFeature_Launcher_DisablePageRotation>false</CscFeature_Launcher_DisablePageRotation>
5. Enable scheduled message: <CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMessage>true</CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMessage>
<CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMsgBox>true</CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMsgBox>
6. Enable prompt to select recording mode: <CscFeature_Camera_CamcorderEnablePromptPopupToSelectRecMode></CscFeature_Camera_CamcorderEnablePromptPopupToSelectRecMode>
7. Enables Rotation control icon in Gallery: <CscFeature_Gallery_AddAutoRotationIcon>true</CscFeature_Gallery_AddAutoRotationIcon>
8. Stock browser requests Desktop site by default: <CscFeature_Web_EnableDesktopSiteAsDefault>true</CscFeature_Web_EnableDesktopSiteAsDefault>
E.) When done make sure you save the changes, and reboot.
F.) ENJOY!
Gonna be working hard on this tonite peeps to ensure which ones are working and which are not... just gotta get thru stupid work first! -__-
Expect a nice update tonite peeps. PLEASE if you know anything about this stuff, feel free to add on!
Good stuff man! I did the shutter sound and exit on stock browser. I'm not sure if it pertains to what I did or if it would have any effect on it (I doubt), but I lost my ability to press and hold to get punctuation on my Samsung keyboard. Lol

Any idea if the radio can be disabled/enabled thru csc features? In Australia, there is not radio on the s5. Not sure whether it's a hardware or software issue, but in others.xml file there is a line for <CscFeature_FMRadio_FrequencySpaceAs>100</CscFeature_FMRadio_FrequencySpaceAs>

I believe with original Touchwiz home, you have to MOD the TouchwizHome.apk to have infinite scroll through pages, as seen in MOD faster touchwiz launcher thread (see Index for easy link). Works from just apk push and no csc mod.
Also, here are the screenshots I promised. Says "null" for feature but my be able to MOD but wonder what it does...

Hey Joe. I'm thinking I may have deleted something else while doing my entries for enabling something. You think me doing that may have borked something? Would you happen to know the entry for the keyboard symbols.
Sorry to bring back up. I just got to thinking about it again and its bugging me (I don't even use the keyboard anymore lol) but good chance for me to learn something if another member has this problem.

You honestly probably did delete something man, you should've copied the original/unedited to your EXT SD Card so you had a backup of it just in case you fudged something up. I'm sorry but I do not know the CSC edit for keyboard symbols
