S7 Edge unable to get developers mode turned on! - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi guys,
I have an issue with getting the developer mode to turn on on my device. I have the S7 Edge G935F.
So when I tap on the build version in the software settings to unlock the developer mode, I get to that point where I can see the developer mode setting pop up in the list in my settings.
But as I forward to developer mode inside everything is grayed out. You can even see that Developer mode is turned OFF , and there is no swiping it on or anything, its locked.
Any idea's?

[Q] Collection Not Found

Having issues with my Q. I've left it stock up until this point and a month or so ago I started getting a message from within the app stating "Collection Not Found." There's an option to search the network for the collection which, when tried, immediatly throws the message "Collection has been found on your network" but returning to the previous screen shows the same "Collection Not Found" message as before.
I had debug mode turned on at the time and but tried a factory reset which didn't help and now debugging mode is turned off. I've seen mention of a slider switch on the device that might enable debug mode but I don't see one on mine anywhere so that's probably not an option.
I even resorted to calling Google for support but they told me 1. they don't have any support information for the Q and 2. that since I purchased this Q via ebay from an I/O attendee, there's nothing they could do about a refund/exchange. Thought this was pretty ****ty but I can understand not training support personel on a device that was never officially released.
Any ideas on how to get this fixed are welcome. I'm probably going to install CM on it now if I can get it working again. Thanks.

[Q] Note 3 N9005 - LTE - No Display

few days ago during phone calls the screen started to black out - after 1 hoursof first blackout, screen started to show weird behavior, screen was being touched on random areas - i turned on show touches from dev mode and it showed random multi touches on top right corner of scree. after few minutes the screen turned black and since then i havent seen any sort of display on my note 3. i tried.
1. removed battery - let it rest for 15 minutes - connected back - phone turned on fine i could hear all sounds and notifications even receive calls if i swiped at correct screen area, However no display
2. tried to access the phone in adb but it wont show in devices even though usb debugging is enabled and all samsung drivers are correctly configured.
3. made backup of all the files on phone using kies.
4. Rooted the phone and tried to access recovery mode but vol up + home + power just turns on the phone.
5. currently the phone connects to pc as a media device with usb debugging enabled.
i think if i am able to flash firmware again it might resolve the issue, but so far i haven't been able to find latest stock builds that i can flash using odin since i cannot do anything in recovery mode (no display)
Can someone guide me on how i can get the display back ? is there any way to access the screen using a standalone pc app without the need to install any app on the phone ? can it be hardware related issue ? the phone never dropped, im a very careful user. screen is scratchless and phone is in perfect condition physically. Any help or guidance will be appreciated.
PS. Its my first time posting a thread on a forum, i hope i didnt break any rules. I searched alot on forums for someone having similar situation.

2. To access via adb you have to grant the permission, once you connect phone in adb with developer mode (usb debugging) enabled, a pop-up will come asking for granting permission., once you grant then only you can acces it in adb mode.
*Sorry buddy, i don'y know about any app that can "access the screen using a standalone pc". (Google for it, You may found)
I guess it must be hardware issues,
But you can try out this:
Download the latest firmware from SamMobile or from SamsungUpdates website, and flash using ODIN.
Before downloading firmware make sure you download the correct firmware for your region (CSC)
If didn't worked, it must be a hardware issue.
Sorry.
Phone was in usb debugging mode before screen disappeared, now i cannot see the device in adb mode maybe because i need to change the connection mode to mtp, i cant do that , theres no display :S

WiFi turned off when phone goes to sleep

Samsung Galaxy S5 900V Lollipop 5.0
Last week I went into settings and found a setting that turns WiFi off when the phone goes to sleep. I turned it on.
I now want to turn this function off but I cannot find the setting. I looked through every setting and I just cannot find it.
Can anyone help me with this?

Sprint Samsung Edge S7 - Developer option cannot be turned on

The developer menu shows up now but all the buttons are disabled, even the button at the top to actually turn the option on.
Any idea ?
Did you try and tap on the Build number multiple times again?
The developer options actually go away on my phone when you turn them off and you have to re enable it. I'm on the latest Oreo patch.
im also on all latest and not only are developer options available. But APN is completely open now. I am shocked. Just can press any one..add new..it's insane.

Cannot enable sRGB mode in developer options.

The sRGB mode option is provided in the developer options.
If I toggle it on, go to the previous screen and come back and check, its automatically switched off.
So, I cannot enable sRGB mode at all.
Anyone facing this issue?
Any help appreciated.
I read about this from a note8 user too but nobody seems to care. Happens to me on my s7 too, I'm curious about this toggle but I've never figured out how to make it work. I think it's impossible that really no one ever tried this. Damn samsung nd their software.
I'd be glad too if anyone could help
Yes, I was surprised that nobody had even reported this issue. Looks like nobody wants sRGB
