Can't access developer mode - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got my G2. I'm trying to root but I can't get into developer mode. I know I'm supposed to go to Settings>General>about phones>hardware information and tap model number 8 or so times, but Im not getting anything.
Any ideas?

Tap the build number 8 or so times.

The version I posted is the one that came with 4.2.1. its r87.
The market version is r81.
I guess the market version is incompatible with the N4.

This worked for me. I haven't tested to see if it actually works yet, but does anyone get this message at the top?
Unsupported device. Learn more.
Does that mean that it won't work when I go to use it? I have it set up with my card already.

[Q] "Create Collage" option doesn't appear in my gallery-help

Long time follower (pre "OG Droid" days) first time question poster. I was reading about the "Create Collage" feature on the Note 3 so I went to give it a shot. The problem is, that option doesn't appear in my menu. I'm completely stock, not even Rooted.
Any thoughts on what could be happening? It just seems so strange that this is completely missing. See for yourself in the attached screen shots.
Thanks
Have you selected at least 2 pictures yet? I just tried and mine works.
Edit: haha just actually looked at your screens. Yeah that's weird. Did you freeze or delete any Samsung apps?
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
I don't remember uninstalling any Samsung apps and the only disabled apps are Verizon bloat and the Kindle app. It feels like it's just missing somehow. I'm hoping to factory reset as a last resort.

I do! Now I'm even more at a loss as to why it won't show up for me. I have now tried force stopping and toggling the app off and back on. Still not showing up in the gallery.
i had to go to manage apps --> force stop collage --> turn off then back on then it showed on my phone. weird having to do all that but it worked. hope it works for you too!

How to Fix YouTube - 1440p resolution (Without Root)

This works 100% - no need for root, but you MUST follow the instructions exactly
Go to apps info
Press disable and it'll ask you to accept reset to factory with unistall any updates. Press OK.
Then kill all apps.
Then back to Youtube apps info.
Click on force stop.
Then click on clear data
Then click on Turn Off
The click on clear data again, wait til it show 0 kbs
Then kill apps
Now go to PlayStore search for youtube
Click on enable
Click on update
Should now work properply with resolutions setting. Search "1440p" video and then select resolution. Profit.
Original credit goes to Like2HelpingOut on Android Central's Note 4 forum.
Just FYI I'm on T-Mobile Note Edge, stock, unrooted.
This will also work for the Note 4
Unfortunately this does not work on my Note Edge. I have followed your instructions twice with no luck.

If I can already select 1440p resolution when viewing a video without going through the steps, does this mean that mine is already enabled? I haven't done any of the steps stated in post #1.
Thanks.

Must have been an update because I did not do anything and I now have the option to play 1440p video. I have regular Note 4 not the edge.
Search for 4k videos on youtube app them select 1440p option.
Worked for me on 915FY with lollipop, no root.
Just checked and I have the 1440p option. I didnt do anything and my phone is stock and unrooted.

Edit APNs on a 6p with a Sprint Sim?

Hey! So I got my 6p yesterday, and want to get hotspots to work, but I can't find where to change apns, where can I find it? Also, if I can't is there any way to turn hotspot on without root?

Guessing you bought this locked to Sprint or something? If you are still on MM, that may also be why the options are different. Have you looked under carrier settings?

If it is locked to your carrier, they probably altered the UI. I would think you should still be able to edit/add APNs under Carrier Networks.

Activities? It is too level under Settings. You won't confirm whether it is locked to Sprint or not, but it would seem so. Mine isn't. If you can't add a new APN by clicking the + icon then probably not.

I bought it from amazon and then swapped out my current phone for this one. So that means it shouldn't be locked right?

Probably not, but I'd think you'd know whether it was before you bought it. I can't begin to guess what the issue is since you can't directly access APN settings by going to settings, and I've never seen 'Activities' or whatever it was you used to access your settings. Normally you'd go to settings and get to mobile networks from there.
I don't know anything about Sprint but if you do a little research online, I think you'll find that if Sprint users on non-LTE networks or using project Fi don't have access to edit APNs normally. You probably need to go to a Sprint forum or contact them. Good luck.

I think I saw somewhere that adding dun on apn type will get native hotspot working. I'm not on stock so I'm not sure if it works. Worth a try.

I have to assume that you aren't asking your question properly.. You show a screenshot of the battery page usage in settings app and ask what it is? Do you mean the -5 app? I'm not positive but did you perhaps delete 5 apps?

Yea sorry I was half asleep when I made the post, but yes the -5 app it's never showed up before i thought it was odd and no haven't uninstalled any apps recently. I'm assuming it's a bug since it's the first update for A10.

No worries brother. I will say that is kinda strange? I would suggest keeping a close eye on it just to make sure it's not some malware. I tried a few Google searches for you because I was interested, however I didn't find anything pertinent. Anyway good luck and if you ever figure out what it is please share here.

Even i too have this in global version and it only appears after using hotspot for some time. If I don't use device as hotspot it doesn't appear so i can say it is related to hotspot.

That's probably it, it's is either that or photos. I was using my hotspot for some time and that's the only time it's ever shown up.

Yes because I don't use photos so common is hotspot only and one user from oneplus forum community also confirmed that. Nevertheless i did contact the developers and they asked for all logs and all and said will get back if they find anything.
