My phone is locked - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I bought a Galaxy note 4 and made a Samsung account that is linked to this phone. Recently, I was compelled to do a factory reset. Every time I go through the steps of opening my phone, there is a step asking for the Samsung account's email and password to see if it belongs to me. I typed the SAME email I ever used in this phone. But always a message shows saying"processing failed". I changed the password from the website "account.samsung.com" and waited for 2 days but still have the same problem.
Please help me regarding this issue.
Thanks.

You can try this?

"4. When the calls start swipe to the left on the dialing screen and you will see message and browser displayed (in my case the message method doesn't works)."
I couldn't do this step. I swiped in all direction, nothing happened.

Take a look at this, watch video DON'T download his firmware. He's basically installed a different dialer app.

restore my data option non responsive

I'm trying a couple rooting options after the 7.4.1 update, and each time, I come to the part where I have to tap the "Restore my data" option on the kindle itself. No matter what I do, that button is unresponsive. I can tap on any other option, and they work, I just can't choose the option to restore.
Anybody got any ideas on how to get past that?
We've tried with and without entering any passwords as well.

[q] Old notifications from same app deleted in Android N

Hello, I'm in stock unrooted Android n preview 3. It appears that notifications that come from the same app, when I have left another notifications sitting there, will be overridden and disappear.
This is a big problem for me, as I use cloudmagic to track multiple tasks that pop up for me, and I let them sit there. Sometimes I'll have 10 notifications at once that I need to get to. Is there a way to override this behavior that I missing? Sorry if this is already been answered, I did do a search and was unable to come up with any results
Thank you in advance for your help.

I haven't tried N, so unfamiliar on how the notifications display but the best bet would be to contact the app developer and explain.
AFAIK or understand by a quick search, the behavior is controlled by the app calling the same tag/id with different notification parameters which will overwrite the previous one.
Also have you tried any of the notification managers on play? Could be an easy work around or easier to manage.

I did contact the app developer and explained exactly what you said previously. They are blaming it on N. I told them they need a unique intent for each call. They didn't respond.
Can't use a third party notification manager because of special features within the cloud magic reminders

We need some specifics. Any app can mean a lot. What steps have you tried to resolve the issue?

I specifically tried EvoveSMS, ChompSMS, and GoSMS. I changed the default from Samsung Messaging to one of these.Clicking on the Messaging icon on the homepage launched Samsung messaging, which asked if I wanted to change default....NO...which proceeded to launch Samsung ANYWAYS. I forget what else I was doing, but Samsung was launched too when I wanted to message....
Are you using a custom launcher? If not pressing on messaging will always load the same thing. You have to click on the app you want to use. If using a custom launcher there should be a default setting in there somewhere.
Have tried both 3rd party and stock launchers....shouldn't changing default messaging peg have fixed the icon issue?

Are you trying to click on where it says "messaging" or the actual app you are trying to use for SMS? The messaging app is just that an app, not an app launcher/shortcut so selecting it will always open up Samsung SMS.

Both, the Samsung messaging asks if i want to change default app, regardless of what I choose, Samsung gets launched.....
Just go into the app you want to use and hide Samsung Messaging and you should be fine

Can you please point me to where the setting is?
For the caller ID go to phone the click the 3 dot and look for caller id.
Now for the other one you need app from the playstore called package disabler. It cost you $2, it's worth it. Open that up and look that samsung phone and disable it.
Also what baseband are you running?

thank you, i will try that.
I'm new to the S7E. I had been using note 7 ported roms on my note 4 which had the built in unknown caller identification feature, which if I'm correct is powered by hiya. So I could NOT find a similar feature on my stock S7E so I downloaded the hiya app from the play Store.... (it appears as a banner for callers)
My question is, where is this stock "setting" that enables unknown caller ID names & numbers? I do not see this option in stock firmware anywhere?
Sent from my SM-G935T
There is a service that T-Mobile has been charging me for and that is for Caller ID, this is where I am able to see who is calling me before I answer. If there is an feature that is built into the ROM or an APP at the Play, of the 3 choices . .. . Which one is the more perferred?

*#*#4636#*#* does not work

I have a ULM unlocked (non Amazon or Google Fi) version and using Google Phone dialer beta app as my dialer app. In the latest few betas I am not able to do get *#*#4636#*#* working. My Phone app is version is 52.0.322645706-publucbeta.
Can someone check if this working for them?

Don't one of you saw my post on telegram. I tried one and it for something weird for a second then gave me an error.
NOTE:*If some codes don't work on your mobile phone, try to use only**#*in the start of the code and only*#**or only*#*at the end of the secret code. For example**#4636#**or**#4636#.

Nope. Doesn't work. I downloaded a 3rd party phone dialer app and the *#*#*4636#*#* works on a non-Google phone app.

I remember switching to the stock LG dialer once to try that. I had to find the APK. It really messed up my phone until I uninstalled it. May I ask what app you used?

True Dialer.

Yea, it is a bummer the dialer doesn't recognize the codes any longer. Here's another way to the screen you are looking for.
1) Go to G Play Store.
2) Install Shortcut Master full or lite versions.
3) Launch Shortcut Master
4) Search for com.android.setting.Settings$TestingSettingsActivity and launch it.

That's a really nice way to do it, but in my case it generates a RemoteException of some sort on my Huawei Mate 10 Pro. Is there any app I should disable that's actually doing the check ? Or does it mean Huawei ****ed it up again to prevent us from accessing the hidden settings menu ?
