Can't find Developer Options to unlock OEM - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Like the topic says. Above 'About device' I have 'User manual'.
Is this something that my carrier has done? If so, is there any hope other than get a different carrier?
I have the SM-G935F, and using the carrier Telia in Sweden if anyone is wondering.

The developer options menu is hidden, go to settings, about phone, and tap build number repeatedly until it tells you that you are now a developer.

Go to About device -> Softwareinfo - then tap 7 times on Build-Number.
Go one step backwards an you have Developer Option where you find OEM switch

Is there anyway to unlock all buttons?

I remember I used to be able to press any buttons to turn on the Dopod. it used to be under settings -> Buttons -> lock tabs.
but now that it's disappeared, is there any other work around?
Thanks
Maybe this way?
Start, Settings, click the System tab, then click on Key Lock. Select "Do not lock buttons"? Let me know if this is not what you were looking for.

How do I find the IMEI on CDMA Wildfire ?

I have a Unicel HTC Wildfire CDMA that I would like to unlock, but for the love of ...you know who, I cannot find the IMEI.
Not under battery, not with *#06#, not under Menu Settings, etc.
I even tried ##786# and enter service mode....nothing.
Anybody can shed some info ?
Thanks
Open the dialer and press *#*#4636#*#*
Wait for a menu to pop up and choose phone information, it should be right at the top of
the screen.

As I said that doesn't do anything, I already tried.

[Q] "This phone belongs to' change

Hi All,
Does anyone know where the info originally entered is stored? I'm pretty sure I had a type in the name and thought I could change it afterwards but I can't find it anywhere. The Owner Info under Lockscreen is blank.
TIA

Go to Settings > Device tab > Lock screen > Owner information
and enter your name
Don't forget to check also the checkbox "Show owner info on lock screen"

Thanks but, as I said, the Info there is blank. Is what I entered not stored anywhere else?
Oh sorry, I didn't read carefully.
I don't know where it is stored. It's weird that your device does not show it on the lock screen.
0. Make sure the checkbox "Show owner info on lock screen" is checked.
1. When you go to Settings > Device tab > Lock screen > Owner information, did you see the information is still there?
2. If Yes, there might be a problem with the launcher or lockscreen you are using
3. If No, there might be a problem with the firmware/rom you are using
BTW, what firmware and what launcher/lockscreen are you using? Stock one or custom/3rd party?

I'm still on MI6, XSA (australian) unrooted. The Owner Info is empty and the box was originally ticked. When I enter something it does show on the lock screen. But what I originally entered during setup appears to be gone unless it's stored somewhere else.

What you entered during phone setup has no bearing on owner info.... It doesn't display this... Owner info must be put in manually later.
The personal details you entered in the initial setup only bear relevance to the ownership name used in apps. (Which it very clearly said on the setup screen where you entered it..)
Ownership details for the lockscreen are not related to that. You could enter 'Owned by Fluffypuf the orange dotted easterbunny with the big pink ears" in there for all the phone cares.
Found the answer..... the phone creates a ME contact with the details entered.

[Q] Icons missing from Galaxy S5!

I'm frustrated!
I want to edit the order of my "Quick Settings" in the Notification bar, but there is no icon (the pencil icon on the right side up) where it should be!
Also, when I press the "Options" button (the three squares) in the Settings page, most option are missing!
The only one that appears is 'List view' (to a total of 2 views - 'Grid view' and 'List view'), whereas the third view, the 'Edit quick settings' and the 'Help' options are missing!
I've got pictures to prove my point and help you see my problem but, unfortuately I can't post them here.
What is wrong? Is it because of the edition of the phone?

Depending on the device model and also the firmware version, there are some variation of the Settings menu. So I cannot realize what is your Settings menu structure.
You can open the S Finder and enter 'notification panel' to search.

Same thing happens. I sadly think it is because of the firmware, as you say, and there is nothing I can do about it.
Thanks for your reply, though!

What does that mean? Did you find this menu using S Finder?
If you cannot find this settings, here is another way:
Install Shortcut Master app, open Menu > Search > enter 'notificationpanelsetting' to search. Finally tap on the search result to open this settings.

Yes and, again, the notification panel had no pencil on the uppermost right corner. :/

I had high hopes for this (on my search on the Net, I found no solution like this) but, alas, the search came back with 0 results. Searched both 'notificationpanelsetting' and 'notificationpanelsettings', and 0 results for 'notificationpanel' as well!
edit:
Oooh! That's why I thought I recognised the name of the app creator - it was you! Nice job, btw!
Sorry, I have searched on my Note 3, not S5.
However the function may be missing because of different firmwares.
You can bypass this problem by flashing another firmware.

I have no idea what this sentence means!
So, I guess, I'll just have to get used to it...
Thank you, anyway!

Easiest way would be to use a SIM from another carrier and see if it works.

it wont work because my IMEI has a financial obligation tied to it still
its actually this
*#0011#
hit the upper right menu button, select key input, and type a capital Q, then ok. then menu again, key input type in 4 zeros "0000" and hit ok. Menu again and hit the back selection, menu again and hit the back selection. It can take up to 30 seconds for it to give you the next menu and you may need to repeat that process, but once the menu is up, make the following selections.
[1] Protocol State
[5] Sim Information
[3] Check NV
the bottom 2 lines should read as follows
SPR BIP Unblocked
sim lock is disable
