I did, cannot get past adb hell, phone says do you want to allow > YES but then it says "because an app is obscuring a permissions request, Settings can't verify your responses" I googled and tried to turn off many apps but doesn't work
If you look there are many different replies to that

I tried, cannot get past adb shell - I get the following when I try to allow it on the phone "because an app is obscuring a permissions request, Settings can't verify your responses: I tried to search response everywhere but then nothing

[HOW TO] Enable USB option in settings

If you have WP 8.1 dev preview you can try:
Launch Bing or Cortana
Type in ‘USB’
Swipe left to ‘phone’
Tap Settings > USB
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now we see USB settings, but I don't know whether or not the feature works. Anyway - we see so that is already in the system.
Source: http://www.wpcentral.com/bing-search-reveals-hidden-usb-settings-windows-phone-81
Weird thing...
I was browsing registry a week ago and found these settings there. I posted to the 8.1 tweaking topic about them, with a sidenote that what happened, this didnt come tothe final build. After posting I was swiping in the settings and saw the USB -settings menu there. Then I just thought I have missed the whole usb-settings in the preview and edited my post about that.
Now that I saw the news abotu this in WPC yesteday, I went to the settings and the USB -settings is not present anymore. I dont know I probably then enabled/disabled it myself then from the settings.
Posted the reg tweak to the tweaking topic how to make the usb settings menu appear in the settings.

Me too for network profile, but I enabled USB in settings, as @Loco explained here. - of course with interop unlock, using samwp8tools and regedit-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718311&page=4
This is the command: LOCALMACHINE (check DWORD)
Path: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\USB
Key: DisableUSBControlPanel
Value: 0
I've enabled both options, but they don't seem to work on my 820 (yet). Probably why the setting was hidden in the first place... :/
this is the reason...
I activated the settings but it doesn't allert me when I connect a slow charger
with web reg you can see there are more keys to USB :
possibly just a complete coincidence but not long after enabling this I started getting issues with the phone charging, in that it wouldn't charge or connect via USB, a reset fixed it and not been an issue since. probably nothing but if more folk find this happening it might be worth while keeping track of it to potentially warn others.
after all, its not as if these settings are super secrete or against the wishes of the networks so the settings are not live for a reason....perhaps that's it.

The apk name is listed along with the packagename in the list. If you are unsure what things are safe to block/disable. There are plenty of people on the forum that would be willing to help you.
I did not see the package name so I will have run it again and read more carefully or try to change the size of that field.

Here's one thing to think about also, by accident I blocked the Google stock email , not the Gmail. I went back to unblock and I had to re-enter all my emails back again. So what I'm saying after a block and then an un-block it wipes the app. Did you expect that to happen or should I expect that to happen for most apps be turned back on?
Thanks

whatsapp popup notification

I have a question, and i wonder if its only me or everyone
With notifications settings set at NO popup in whatsapp, i still get my whatsapp msgs poping up while screen on.
The only feature i see is silencing them via Android notifications controler "by long pressing the notification from the notification slider"
But this will completely mute the notification, only icon showing on top bar with no sound or vibration.
I just want to stop the popup, and i think this is a problem in whatsapp handling the notifications with Android N
I didn't have any of these problems in my previous s7edge or note7 or opo3, hence the assumption..
Did anyone face this? If yes, any solution?
Note: i emailed whatsapp, but useless, no helpful answer, only the common reply email.
I would really appreciate the experts help here..
I have the exact opposite problem. I go into notifications and choose pop ups to show and they don't. I have chosen pop up to be shown when screen is on/off....or all the time, none of the choices work.
Same problem found a solution yet?

Just preform this command using adb
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
This will stop all peek (headsup) at a global level, all apps.. That was the only way for me (when i used LG and Huawei) since they have limited settings options on that aspect.
Assuming that you know how to preform this command, if not, just search in the forum and you will find out how to do so. This doesn't affect ur phone by any mean, no need for it to be unlocked or rooted or anything, it's just a shell command.. To reverse it, just change the 0 to 1 and done with the same command line..

Official Nougat - turn off Peek Notifications?

I can't seem to find the equivalent to the setting that disables the "Pop-Up" notification setting in Nougat 7.0. This link explained how to do it in MM...

Anyone find something like this?
Same here.
Well I did that and worked for me in Nougat on my S7 Edge Duos. I tried it with whatsapp and I'm not getting the preview pop-up anymore while using the phone

but you wont get the vibration alerts either
They actually removed that exact feature from Nougat. You can silent the entire notification, but cannot turn off the floating notifications.
I was looking for solution on this either, stupid sumsung removed one of the best nougat control over notifications that you could define levels of notifications control and their priorities even of the list (The power controls notifications)... Idiots.
Now or you only have 2 options:
NO PEEK+NO VIBRATION/SOUND
PEEK + VIBRATIONS
instead of the great different levels of notifications control. Samsung always does some **** to piss off users.... because they decreasing the control that the user have over the phone instead of increasing.

F! That's true... sorry... I was on DND mode so I didn't realize that.
Hope we find some way...
Unless there is maybe a port from somewhere or an xposed alternative but still might not be possible since it can be far too complex as it mixes the notifications and settings, so I doubt we will ever get this properly working...

ADB method confirmed working! Thank you!!!!
(extract below...)
a) Open a terminal and check if the device is connected using the following command:
Code:
adb devices
b) You should see your phone on the list that appears. Now use the following command:
Code:
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0c) Reboot your phone.
d) Done!

The drawback for me is that I wanted only certain apps without peek+sound, but not all the apps...

However I was referring not only this peek preview but also on the notification bar... when you have a message and you slide down the bar and you have the message there.
Crap samsung has some brain freeze once in a while for eliminating this ..
What is this adb everyone is talking about? I'm having this same complaint with the peeking and use to have it turned off on most apps. Just got android 7 this morning so still looking around, but sounds like dropping this code in is an easy fix.... But where do I drop it? Is this an app for the phone or is it on my pc? Can someone please describe how to do this from the beginning, not just "use adb, put in this code. Done." maybe for some of us less intelligent but equally annoyed with peeking people so we can remove it as well. Thanks!
I can also confirm that this worked. No more heads up popup when I get messages. Tested in Google Hangout and Whatapps.

ADB is a software you need to install on your PC computer (some where there is a 5 sec installation for it). Then you need to set your phone to USB debug mode and plug it into your PC with the USB cable. Your PC will detect your device.
Go to Start on your PC and in the search area type "cmd" to bring up the black box terminal window. Then just follow the two command lines listed to first detect your phone, then run the flag to turn off the popup. Reboot. Then it will work.
Test and tried on a Sprint Samsung S7.
It will remove the popup window but preserve sound.

Samsung Galaxy S6/S7/S8/Note8 - Adding Missing/Hidden Quick Toggles/Tiles

Due to my own experiences after having purchased many Galaxy devices, I've noticed, Samsung likes to hide toggles.. So I always put my own back in, with adb, or an app. For newer android devices, we need adb.
So on your Galaxy, go to settings>developer options, and enable USB debugging, and Stay awake. (If you don't see developer options, go into 'About phone', and tap on 'Build Number' 7+ times until achieved.
Plug your phone into your computer, and make sure it's drivers are installed and the phone is coming up properly.
Download the ADB files, on your PC, here in a .Zip or a Folder
Then, open up an Admin CMD, (if you don't know how, GOOGLE.) Then, open up the directory of the ADB folder in the cmd.
Example, on my computer, I left the folder in downloads, so I type into the cmd cd c:\users/Jae/downloads/platform-tools Example
Type adb devices into the cmd. (Make sure only one phone is attached) If you see your phone, (random looking numbers & letters) good. If it says 'unauthorized' check the phone and make sure tap allow, if you don't see anything.. detach it & reattach, and type in adb devices again. When it says 'device', you're good. Go to the next step.
Type adb shell and at this point, you should be looking like This.. If you do, copy and paste this settings get secure sysui_qs_tiles
Once it loads, copy what came up by highlighting like this, and then use ctrl+v . Yours will be/look different, depending on your toggles. Paste it into a text file, or whatever.
Then copy settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles and paste it in front of all of that, then put ' in front of the first toggle, and after the last toggle. Like this, 'SilentMode,Wifi,Bluetooth' < JUST AN EXAMPLE
This is where you add in your missing toggles, using only commas to separate, no spaces.. Most commonly desired MobileData. There's more, if wanted. So, for example, if you start with 'SilentMode,Wifi,Bluetooth'
You should finish with 'SilentMode,Wifi,Bluetooth,MobileData,WifiHotspot' or any order you like. (MAKE SURE NO SPACES IN BETWEEN ANY TOGGLES. ONLY COMMAS.)
Should be looking like THIS!! then, copy it so it looks just like in the last screenshot. Simply right click in the cmd, and hit enter..
If you get a syntax error, you did something wrong. Like leaving out the ' at the beginning, and ' at the end of the toggles, or spaces somewhere other than the command.
If you have no errors, check your Quick Toggles for the newly added ones. Should be there, no restart necessary or anything.
If successful, congrats. If not, I can help. Just ask. (don't ask about anything other than the topic, PLEASE..)
As of December 30th, 2019, this still works just fine. HOWEVER on newer android updates, 'MobileHotspot' has been renamed to JUST 'Hotspot' . So if you're not seeing the icon after applying this fix, this is probably why. Try with Hotspot instead of MobileHotspot.
Thanks for the solution, finally I added mobile data icon!

No problem! Glad this worked out for you.
Hey there! This worked great prior to the update I just did last week. I wanted to get the wifihotspot to be the first icon when i dropped the quick toggle menu down, instead of rifling through Settings, Connections, Mobile Hotspot and tethering, then finally able to switch it on. Now when I put wifihotspot in the command line you posted, it just stays at the default. It's as though they may have changed the name of the wifihotspot toggle to something else. Any idea? My phone is a S7, Android 8.0.0, Samsung Experience version 9.0, Baseband version G930W8VLU3CRE3. A lot more software info but hopefully that's enough. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi, I have the same problem with MobileData. Even though I add it to the list, the tile doesn't seem to appear...
Any idea on the new name if it even exist anymore?
So, would I be able to add the DeX software toggle thats on the galaxy tab s4? this would be the best.
Best answer all the times
I have been looking for this solution nearly a year! And thank you really, thank you too much. I m glad.
AWESOME! Added "HotSpot" to my Rogers Galaxy S8+ in Canada. Thanks so much!
Question
I have small question. Is there a way to stop asking "Turn off mobile data" question?
I mean for example mobile data on. And when you touch toggle it asks "Mobile Data unless.. bla bla do you want to turn off mobile data?" I just want to change it as without any question.
Thank you
I was able to add "Hotspot" toggle to the Samsung Galaxy Tab A.

I can confirm this MobileData name has remained the same through current date. Dec 30, 2019. I just received an update on my phone and had to repair tiles again. Nothing has changed with this.

Unfortunately, installing other software isn't as simple as this TileCode fix.
You should search other XDA threads for that. And beware, read EVERYTHING before trying to apply anything!
