My NFC toggle on the pull down menu is permanently disabled, and I'm not sure how. When I search NFC, and look at the app, the disable icon can't be pressed and it says the app is disabled.
However when I go to connections and choose NFC I am able to turn it on.
I don't think it's actually on though, because as I tap my phone to my SONY headphones nothing happens. I believe this is because the toggle switch is permanently disabled.
I have package disabler pro, and I removed all the apps that were disabled so everything is enabled now.
I restarted the device multiple times, but nothing works.
Not sure what is going on, but I really want to be able to connect to my headphones with NFC, bluetooth works, but it is the NFC I'm looking for.
Can someone please tell me how I can reenable it (so that I can press the button on the pull down menu)?
Thanks!
Bump! Can anyone help with this? I really don't want to factory reset my phone.
Your only option is FACTORY RESET
Thank I know that's an option. Anyone else seen this happen or know how to resolve it?
So no one else has had a similar situation to this, or knows what to do?

Long shot here, try taking the NFC button out of the drop down (long press it and move it up and out). Restart your phone, open up the drop down and put the button back in the same way. Just thinking out loud.
Ok so this is really weird. The button can't be found in the drawer anymore. It's not in my active buttons it the ones I can add. So odd.

When you go to pull down the drawer tap the 3 dots upper right and try button order or button reset to see if it come backj.
It's not there.

Have you installed any apps recently, since it started?
There could be an app that's put in place some kind of security policy that's blocked it. Like a work app?
EG: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S-Phones/Galaxy-S7-NFC-toggle-switch-disabled/td-p/79071
Or you also mention Package Disabler. Did it start happening after you started disabling packages?
hmm this is weird.. im also using package disabler pro and never had this issue. you could try one thing - using package disabler, disable all NFC services and then re-enable again - see if that helps

other than using the power button to turn it on, and crossing my fingers that this will get re-enabled in Android 4.5/5 around July/August, no :/
Also annoyed that the auto-brightness+ setting is now gone, but that at least was fixable through the Lux app.
Brightness button did not disappear on mine. Sprint S4

Couple alternatives. Wanam with Xposed could fix it. Also, a different launcher would let you set it too.

Thx bud,
I don't think that the prob is from the launcher, as it doesn't work with other launchers neither (I don't use TW, also it is working normally with s-view cover opened).
I have Wanam with xposed, but don't find any option like that... could you help me out? Thx a lot!
I found another strange issue, don't know if you have it , too. If I deactivate auto-unlock when I open s-view cover, it still unlocks when I open it... even after restart.
Edit: Found the solution for other issue: Nils Notification was set to always unlock when cover opened, nothing to do with rom... My fault

In Wanam, under System, there is a section for Long Home key behavior, can you not, Launch S Voice from there?
I use Google Now, and this is how I launch that.
As for S-view, I can't help with that, I dont have that.
Hey guys.
Its been a few days after ive updated my note 3 to nd3 (im using n9005 malaysia).
Didnt notice anything strange until I bought my gear 2 today.
I tried to find my s voice in the app drawer and the settings but couldnt find it.
I remember disabling s voice last time and now after the update even the disabled apps tab (menu key in app drawer) is also missing.
It was replaced with hidden apps instead.
Someone help me please.

It about stops me from doing uploading pictures, downloading. It's driving me crazy anyone else having this problem?
Yea lots of people are. Anything that changes the status of the screen like some kind of screen filter like twilight, night owl, any of those things, can mess with this. It's been pretty annoying. I have Twilight set to a timer to eliminate blue light on the screen before sleeping and I have to freeze and defrost it several times a day. Apparently it's an issue with ZTE. There is a thread over there about it.

I guess that it should actually be a security feature to prevent an overlay app from abusing any open apps below it... but it is really annoying that the ZTE integrated feature Mi-POP will also make this warnings display... you can simply deactivate it through its notification bar shortcut but it's still annoying...

I'm going to guess you have MiPop enabled? is so turn it off and your screen overlay issue might go away.

Screen overlay is new in 6.0 to prevent apps from creating an overlay and giving permissions to themselves. It's not an issue with ZTE.
Yes screen overlay is new. Came from a N6 and never had this problem on stock 6.0 from Google. Facebook messenger will not do anything other than message can't call, or send pictures. Yes it is a problem with ZTE

Go to the "Apps" setting, and then click on the "gear-shaped" setting button to go to the "Draw over other apps" menu and turn off all apps that are enabled. Go back to the "Apps" setting and click on the app that needs permissions modified. When all the permissions are updated, go back and enable the "Draw over other apps" for those apps you disabled.
Use this app it will get rid of that annoying overlay issue.

I don't know about anyone else, but this is my first MIUI phone.
I thought it would be useful to start a thread regarding MIUI notes/tips/etc that are specific to MIUI.
The first big one of course - how to fix push notifications:
http://www.forbes.com/sites/bensin/...ions-on-xiaomis-miui-8-for-real/#11f834174e1b
I was about to start this very thread
I found a cool feature
You can select several photos for deleting by simply gliding your fingers over the photos
Another cool feature
You can orient that device do that it's upside
The top bezel-less becomes downwards.
The phone is also programmed to rotate it to the standard orientation during a phone call because of Mic location.
One thing I quite like is how specific WIFI connects can be disabled without having to remove them.
Our work WIFI blocks certain things, so it's nice to be able to disable it but not have
to totally remove it (and then reenter all the passwords when I re-enter it).

For each WIFI connection, there is a little > to the right of it.
If you touch that you go into another menu, and one option is 'auto connect on/off'.
Turning off autoconnect helps in situations where there are multiple WIFI signals, but you only want it autoconnecting to a specific one.

2 finger swipe on notifications displays their details (or what is called Peek)

Thanks for clarifying.
What if I'm in the range of two networks that I've saved the passwords for.
Which does the mi mix connect to when I enter range?
Looks like the last one I've connected to.

That's actually a primitive way of doing it.
Samsung did it better by letting you 'peek' one-handedly with a simple swipe down of the notification.
With mi mix, I have to use two hands. I can do it with one hand but it's tough.

And just found out, we can't "swipe away" the notifications from the lockscreen directly. Need to pull down the shade and clear from there. Would this not be considered a stupid decision?!

Perhaps there's a solution if you root/install Xposed & a module is available for lockscreen options.
I'm rooted,but, haven't used Xposed in ages, considering trying it again......
On Samsung devices,(non-root) Ad Blocking apps have a persistent notification on the lockscreen that cannot be swiped away,.The only remedy for this was to turn off the ad blocking.

I followed all the steps.
I understood that there are several instances of settings and installed apps.
I went through all of them but still could not disable or uninstall pre-loaded apps like Mi Credit, Mi Cloud and all those Mi nonsense apps.

Those are uninstallable I guess (as Mi earns from these apps and not selling the phone), few rubbish were uninstalled using this method.
I should be able to disable them though
Apparently not
Some more MIUI notes:
menu + volume down = screenshot
hardware test: dial *#*#6484#*#*
More phone info: dial *#*#4636#*#*
There is a toggle to disable the navigation buttons (double tap them to re-enable)
handy if you keep accidentally hitting them.
in 'buttons' can auto disable for any particular app (games)
In accessibility there is a magnification mode - triple tap to allow/disable zooming of screen. (EDIT: it's bugged - it isn't supposed to trigger during keyboard typing,but it does, effectively making it useless)
wake with volume buttons is in lockscreen menu, not "button"
There are some apps that just won't stay uninstalled. Anyone got idea how to remove them? PPTV for example

Hi,
So a while ago my Smart View just stopped working. It was working fine in the beginning, but now when I press the Smart View button in dropdown menu, just nothing happens. It's always in a "faded" color - not uncolored like disabled options and not fully colored like enabled options. Just something in between.
I use package disabler to disable bloatware, but couldn't find anything TV-related in it that fixed it. There was com.samsung.android.app.withtv, which has a tv-and-smartphoney icon, but activating it again didn't help. No other hits for "smart", "view" or "tv" that I see related. Any idea what happened and how I could fix it, besides the obvious "restore to system settings" of course.
