I recently rooted my Samsung Captivate using SuperOneClick 1.9.1. The only things I have done since rooting the device is allow sideloading (by editing settings.db with SQLite Editor), so I can install apps from Amazon Appstore and used Titanium Backup to delete bloatware.
I noticed that when I installed SwiftKey that I would click 'Enable Swiftkey' and then click on Swiftkey settings only to be told that I need to enable swiftkey in order to change the settings. I thought it was a problem with swiftkey.
However, I then noticed that the phone kept reverting to USB Debugging Mode and only after three attempts was I able to disable USB debugging and mount my drive. I finally figured out that it's a problem with changing settings; can anybody tell me how to fix this? Thanks.
Super one click 1.whatever has the option to enable side-loading ( 2nd tab! ) so you really waisted some time on that one!
if you are running a custom rom, they are made to keep debugging on, it doesnt stop you from doing anything.
to enable swift key:
menu button > settings > locale and text > check swiftkey to enable.
ive never used swiftkey but that is how all other keyboards go....
all else fails install a custom rom / pre-rooted, crap removed, extra options, side loading tethering ect...
More info
The problem isn't just SwiftKey or USB debugging. All settings on the phone are screwed up. I hold down the power button and bring up the options:
Data Network Mode: I restarted the phone and 3g was enabled. I clicked on the data network mode and disabled it. But now it's always off, yet it says it's activated (and I can't set it to deactivated)
Airplane Mode: I can't put the phone in airplane mode, nor can I do this from the settings menu
Sound: This works fine
On the Power Control Widget:
Brightness: I can change brightness, but the icon stays the same
Sync: This button works fine
GPS: This button is not responding
Bluetooth: n/a (the button lights up, but I don't have bluetooth)
Wifi: n/a (the button lights up, but I don't have wifi nearby)
The settings menu:
I know that Swiftkey and USB debugging are giving me problems
As for the custom ROM, I was having problems with the the signature error on 2.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051197)
I'm going to try out the advise from that thread and see if I can resolve this with a custom ROM. Normally I'd say this is "throwing out the baby with the bath water," but I'm excited about putting a custom ROM on my phone for performance reasons.
If there is another solution, I'd like to know about it because I want to be a little more adept before installing a ROM on my phone. Thanks.
I was going to install Serendipity 6.4. Do you have another MOD that you would recommend?

I've installed Advanced Config on my HTC Touch Pro (WM6.1) and have set it up to auto lock after 25 seconds, which works fine. The problem, however, is that whenever it locks, the backlight is set to dim and it will not budge from there, unless I go into Windows' settings and manually readjust it up again. Then 25 seconds later, it locks and I'm back to square one. The only way I can get the default behaviour back again is doing a complete reset (i.e. clear storage to remove everything) and reinstall - but then I can't use autolock. I've tried the other backlight settings in Advanced Config and fiddling with every other Windows backlight setting I can find, but no joy.
Can anyone assist?
do a search for "dimbklinunlock" and see if that cab file fixes it for you.
Some have luck with it, but not mine. When mine dims, the only way to brighten it back up is to tap the on/off button.
Thanks, I tried that, but I can't find it anywhere (Google / Bing etc. also don't find it). Do you possibly have a link to the file? Unfortunately, the on/off routine doesn't work for me either.
What I really wanted from Advanced Config was the ability to Auto Keylock, but that causes the backlight problem. I've tried the application from Maniac, but that doesn't seem to work (probably because of the touchscreen; it works great on my old iMate SPJAS.
So, if anyone knows a way to get Auto Keylock to work using another application I can then just use Advanced Config for other functions.
Have you tried S2U2?
Hi.
I have 5.0.2 andall of a sudden, the flashlight icon on the Quick Settings bar dissapeared.
Anybody knows how to restore it back??
Thanks!!
Lollipop puts the things into the quick settings that are often used (exept some standard settings like wifi which stay there independent from usage). So if you start the flashlight a few times from the settings menu it should show up in the quick settings again. I´ve got the same with gps.
hmmm...I just noticed this. I don't even find a flashlight app in the drawer anymore. What happened here?
It used to be there and I liked the easy accessibility of it. I want the flashlight to be locked in the quick settings.

Where is the flashlight in the Settings??? I have no flashlight there! Please post a screenshot of what you have on yours. Thanks!
You´re right,there isn´t a flashlight app in the drawer and I even don´t find a way to activate it in the settings....
Restart your phone.
Restart
Usually a restart fixes this for me!
I've restarted the phone several times since then but never came back...
My only hope is to search again the command to clear the data for system ui and see if that works or not. It did it for one option once, maybe it can make it for the flashlight again...
I had mine disappear too. It came back after I downloaded another Flashlight App and used it, but that may have been a coincidence.
i have restarted the phone and nothing happened. i dont even know where to locate torch in the phone other than quick settings
Try taking a photo with the flash turned on and check your quick settings after.

Wiping cache partition in twrp worked for me.
I had faced the same issue. But after I turned off and turned on I got my flashlight back on quicklaunch.
Turn on camera flash and take some photos or make a video with your flash on then restart your phone.. I did and it worked on motog2 xt1068...
The quick settings are managed based on the settings you use frequently
I have taken some photos with flash and got the torch in quick settings. thanks a lot..
Samsung Galaxy S6: Wanted to update from Marshmellow (rooted with SU) to Nougat.
Unrooted, updated to Nougat and rooted with SU 2.78 and used Titanium Backup to re-install some stuff and mainly data back into Nougat.
Everything worked good but while reading a bit more i found that there was a newer version of SU then the one i had used (2.82 instead of 2.78).
So i uninstalled SU 2.78 and installed 2.82 instead.
Then i noticed that some stuff didn't work anymore, one thing was toggling NFC on or off through Tasker, it always came with an error that there was no root for System+ in Secure Settings.
But whatever i tried, i could not get System+ detecting root in Secure Settings, also not when trying a few fixes i found on the internet (ex: https://dammit.nl/20160406-how-to-f...oid-devices-with-supersu-systemless-root.html).
Went back to SU 2.78 but that didn't work our anymore either.
While gathering information (i don't follow the progress on rooting etc... because lack of time) i stumbled on Magisk for doing the root.
Unrooted SU and re-rooted with Magisk 14.2
Then System+ in Secure Setting could be enabled again and i could toggle NFC through Tasker again without issues.
But, tapping on the Power Toggles NFC symbol still brings me to the Nougat settings page to set NFC from there (and then the Power Toggle NFC status isn't updated) instead of toggling NFC direct like it used to do before with SU 2.78 (on Marshmellow and the first install of Nougat with SU 2.78).
Looking for a solution for this i found this on the Power Toggles website (http://powertoggles.com/help/?e=17).
It says that you always are directed to the phone's settings to set either GPS or NFC and only works directly if you have root.
Well, it works fine for GPS but for NFC. Power Toggles see's root for the GPS function but not for the NFC one... weird.
Removing Magisk and re-installing it doesn't help, nor does going back to whatever version of SuperUser so i'm still looking for a solution to toggle NFC directly from Power Toggles.
My Tasker Root Support module have been reported to make Secure Settings recognise root. You could give that a try...
Thx, i'll give it try but this then means i have to go back to SuperUser for root instead of Magisk?
The actual problem is that Secure Setting does detect root now when rooted with Magisk but that Power Toggles only partly thinks is not (works fine GPS toggle, not for NFC).
I guess the problem lies more on the Power Toggles part (but then that's a wild guess) which only seems to see half of a root so to say... LOL.
Toggling NFC with Power Toggles works fine for me. With Magisk.
And no... You'll have to stay on MagiskSU to use Magisk modules. SuperSU isn't compatible with Magisk.
Installed the module in Magisk (double checked if it's activated), unfortunaly no joy...
Confession: Far far away in my brain there is a small spark that says that's is't some sort of setting somewhere and that i had the same problem once in the past (long ago) but since my brain is getting rather old and that spark would refuce to become firework...yet.
I did make a small Tasker task to update the Power Toggles bar on changing NFC status. So i can already check on the PT bar in what status NFC is in even if i changed it through regular settings.
Found also this:
Note: starting with android 4.2, system access is no longer required for any functionality. Root should be enough.
If your device is rooted you could install the Power Toggles app as a system app. You can use apps like Titanium backup or /sys/app mover or any similar app for this purpose.
Installing the app as system app, enables protected functionalities like one-click GPS/NFC toggle or Airplane mode toggle.
Wondering if it could help i tried to installing Power Toggles as system app. However, this didn't work. First i used /sys/app mover but this came also up with error: could no remount/system.
Then i tried Titanium Backup but this kept on going in a loop. After stopping TB after +/- half an hour and a reboot the Power Toggles shortcut was gone but that was it. Retried a second a time and this time TB worked itself through the process quickly but Power Toggles wasn't moved and was not a system app. To be continued...
Noticed a second little glitch with Nougat for the Power Toggles, just a NFC now opens de setting instead of toggling, the same happens with the brightness slider toggle (didn't tried that before).
On Marshmellow this opened only the brightness slider, on Nougat is does the same as with the NFC, it opens the settings and goes to the brightness slider there.
After fiddling around with a bit i thought of reversing the firmware back to Marshmellow to try but this came with an error and de Galaxy S6 locked up. Tried a second time, same issue although the firmware should be valid and the checksum is OK (got it from SamMobile).
Re-installed Nougat (a 1st update now), but the Power Toggles still open settings for NFC and Brightness Slider.
Workaround for the Brightness Slider is using a widget to open a 3th party brightness slider. This works noce but the Power Toggles bar is not as nice (even icons) as before.
Are you sure that Power Toggles have been granted root access? Check the superuser section of the Manager...
Yes it has, just double checked on the SU settings in Magisk.
If it doesn't, tapping the GPS/Location or Mobile Data symbol on the Power Toggles bar also opens up the settings pages like with NFC and the brigthness slider.
And whan it has been granted root access, it doens't do that for GPS/Location or the Mobile Data toggle but still for the NFC and brightness slider. That's the big issue. Whay does it work only partially? It would be easier to solve it was the same for every toggle for which it needs root access.
Like I said previously, there are no such issues on my side with Power Toggles...
Toggling NFC and bringing up the brightness slider works without a hitch.
There must be something about your setup.

That's what i'm still thinking too but can't pinpoint it (for now).
I'll keep on diggin'...
Managed to make the Power Toggles app a system (with Titanium Backup) but... no joy.
Unrooting makes every toggle that has no direct action go through the settings page as it is intended to do, rooting again still leaves the NFC and brightness slider in an unrooted action state.
I have an unrooted/unchanged/stock Huawei P10 running EMUI 5.1 and am trying to debug a website I'm making. Latest Chrome on the P10 and latest Chrome on my Retina MacBook Pro 15'' (late 2013) High Sierra 10.13
The route worked on all my previous devices. USB Debugging is checked on, I plug in the cable and say yes to the prompt "Allow Access to device data?". Next prompt "Allow USB Debugging" -> OK gives me the following error: "An App is obscuring a permission request. Settings can't verify your response"
Looking for solutions I read stuff about background apps which mess up things. All I know of / remember installing is "Mi Band Tools", and "Pie Controls".
I tried to shut down "Mi Band Tools" via Settings -> Apps -> Mi Band Tools -> "Stop" – But it seems not to be stopped for long? Since I don't know if this would solve the problem anways, I figured to come here first. It would be great if I wouldn't have to uninstall these apps.. always a pain to restore etc.
Thank you very much!

I had the same problem with my Huawei Honor View10.
I had to uncheck the "Permit drawing over other apps" for a (in my case) JINA Drawer. Maybe you have to uncheck an other one...
In EMUI 8 = Settings - Apps - Apps & notifications - Apps - Settings (bottom of screen) - Special access - Draw over other apps
Good luck!

Holy Moly.. this setting is hidden as hell; on my P10 running EMUI 5.1 (german), the setting path was:
settings > apps > settings (corg button at the bottom left) > special access > draw over other apps > talkback
Thank youuu!

Yes! On my device Mate 1o Pro, it was Talkback as well that ¨obscured a permission request¨.
If you have a custom rom with Smart Pixels and it is turned on, it will do this also. Turn it off, retry,
help please

Fix #2 - if it works
i was messing with my Samsung Galaxy J7 Core J701F/DS and I was trying to figure out your problem also because i got the same problem as yours so the thing that worked for me is going to Settings (Nougat 7.0/1)> Apps> 3-dot menu/optionsl settings/other settings> Special Access> Apps that can be on top> Disable all apps like literally disable them all and try to debug your phone again...if it works, enable apps in that setting one by one and repeat debugging process. If it doesnt work, disable the last app you enabled, and if it works again...that is the app that is doing the dirty work...mine was not in the system apps it was one of my apps which is AZ Screen Recorder lol....(why the app that is being used everyday need to be disabled....)

1. Apps such as Blue light filter apps constantly appear on the top of your screen thus breaking some of the on screen functionalities. Try disabling display over other apps permission of such apps and you should be fine.
2. Also, sometimes it is because of your custom launcher, so try switching to your stock launcher if above solutions don't work.
3. If Accessibility for some apps are on then try disabling them first.
PS : Of all the 3 solutions try the possible ones.
Hope it helps.

This put me on the right track.
I have an LG G6 running Android 8.0. My Keeper Security app needs permission to Draw over other apps and since around December 2018 it has started acting 'flaky'. The app would warn me that I need to turn on this permission, but when I clicked "OK" in the Keeper app to take me to the Android setting for the app, it was always turned on. I could turn it ON/OFF, along with the setting that needed this permission in the Keeper app (called Keeper Fill) and eventually get it to work again, but it would always break again very soon after.
As I am getting ready to go on a trip, I installed Google's Datally app. It, too, wants me to turn on Draw over other apps, but when I tap "next" to be taken to the Android settings page to enable Draw over other apps, nothing happens (I usually expect an app detects it has been enabled and gives "success" message).
So I started disabling the 3 possible suspects listed by kapil1100. I had LG's Comfort View and some Accessibility options enabled, so I turned them off and: no change.
I disabled all other apps that have permission to Draw over other apps via: Settings > Apps & notifications > Special access > Draw over other apps, and: no change.
I use Evie launcher, so I went back to the stock one: no change.
I got thinking about what else could be modifying/accessing the screen and realized that LG has custom Home touch buttons.
I went to: Settings > Display > Home touch buttons > Hide Home touch buttons and DISABLED Show lock/hide icon and then tried enabling Draw over other apps for Datally and IT WORKED!.
I was then able to turn Show lock/hide icon back ON and everything has been working as expected. I suspect that, because I had Show lock/hide icon turned on during an upgrade, something got messed up and my turning it OFF and back ON fixed the issue.
I hope this helps someone!
Long story short:
I installed mortal kombat x and didnt get any push notifications. I then changed some settings under Battery menu (App launch - >manual control) and under Apps (special access - > disable battery optimization) and then it worked like a charm.
But now i accidentally clicked "automatic control" in the App launch submenu and even after setting it back to manual, the notifications wont appear again.
I restarded the phone many times and switched back and forth the configurations, but nothing works. There is some kind of software conflict but i cant figure it out. Any thoughts?
