How do I use this feature? It's always asking me to "enable Alexa in settings" when it's already enabled.

I go to Settings, scroll down to Slide Aside (Device section) and then click the toggle switch (top right), does that not work for you?
I don't even have that option...
I never really found it all that useful when Google's builtin Multitasking app lets me pick any open app (not just 3). Plus I don't have to manually hide anything.
I DO use the floating apps and Memo often.

Sorry, I read your initial post too quickly. I now understand that you meant you had disabled Slide Aside. So now it is listed with your Disabled apps but the Enable button is greyed out, correct?
I wonder if another app is also disabled that Slide Aside had as a dependency?
Are you rooted? Have you ever run GMD Auto Hide Softkeys?
No i'm not rooted.
D802 International with kit kat 4.4.2
As you'r right the button its greyed out.
And in the menu the option its not there.
same issue here, disabled slide away while phone is on root, flashed to official 4.4.2 and am unable to enable slide away.
I guess the solution is to root my phone and enable it again
But i'v never been rooted at all
No ideas guys?

Lol I have the opposite issue. I disabled mine (although mine is listed in disabled so idk wth is up with that) but slide aside is always showing up in running apps even though it is disabled in settings AND apps.

Accessibility Services Issue

Hi all,
I tried to enable a couple of my accessibility services today, and I get a warning message saying:
"Talkback and the options below cannot both be enabled. The options below will be disabled.
Air Browse
Air View
Multi-Window
etc. etc."
Any ideas why I would have to lose these samsung options? Also I removed Talkback using Titanium Backup I think...
I would also like to know this, very frustrating as i bought the phone for some of these features + more -.-
Try tinkering with the app/service settings, sometimes the disabling option can be found there instead.

Stay Awake option disabled from developer options?

The Stay Awake toggle on my developer options menu is disabled.
Anyone know why this may be?
It is by default for everyone. If enabled your display will not sleep (will not turn off automatically) while charging.

Can App Scaling to 18.9 full screen be the default?

Is there an option on the LG G6 to make app scaling to full screen 18.9 the default for all new apps?
Each time I install a new app I need to manually go in the app scaling settings and change it to 18.9. I would like the install to do this by default.
There aren't many apps that seem to do anything different with this setting, but I want to try them all to see, and hope that some of them will make a difference.
News360 looks pretty nice in full screen reading.
Thanks!

Go into the secret menu and go to SVC Menu - Force Long Display Mode - Turn it on.

Thanks, but by "secret menu", do you mean the "developer options" settings menu? I have it activatesd, but I don't see any SVC menu? Or is there another secret menu I don't know about and that I need to activate?
Thanks.
Open "Phone", dial this *#546368#*870#, go to SVC Menu, at the end there is "Force Long Display Mode", turn it ON. Reboot and enjoy.

No, i mean the secret menu, not the developer options, you can access to it by dialing *#546368#*870#
If you don't have an'H870 you have to change those digits with the ones of your model.

Thanks.... while I am at it, different topic, but is there a way to customize the "do not disturb" option so that when I have the phone in "do not disturb" on a schedule, it would be silent but still vibrate? The settings don't give that option.
I don't want to have to manually set my phone to vibrate mode. Instead I want my "do not disturb" schedule to be a "vibrate mode" schedule.
Thanks,

I don't think there is such option, maybe try to find an app that do so

Manual method to disable lock screen?

Is there a way to manually disable the lock screen on a Fire HD 10 2021? I think the toolbox can do it, but I prefer to do things via ADB if possible.

You can use the Activity Launcher app, scroll down for the Settings app, select Choose screen lock (com.android.settings.SetupChooseLockGeneric), and select None.

Thanks. I've installed the app but I don't see that action. I've tried searching for "com.android.settings.SetupChooseLockGeneric" as well and nothing shows up. I'm on 7.3.2.2 -- not sure if that matters.
Looks like the package/action is now com.android.settings.password.ScreenLockSuggestionActivity. Launching that allows me to select "None."
