Hi
Do this
Go to settings -> scroll to bottom and choose the info option -> about galaxy gear -> tap the software version 4-5 times and it will count down from 3 -> go one screen back and will have the debug option
it is the same thing, you have to do on the galaxy s4, to get the debug option
Hope this helps
-TB-

From settings select "gear info" and then "About gear" then press software version repeatedly until developer options are unlocked (you will get a notification). USB debug will now be available in the previous menu.
This is the same on all android roms after 4.2

Today plug ins not displaying

I'm probably just missing something obvious but when I go into settings -> today -> items tab and select the plug ins i want displayed, they don't display on the today screen. And if I go back to the settings screen they are unticked again.
Am I missing something? Is there something else I need to do to enable this?

No, but you do need to disable TF3D before you can add Today Items. So it's either TF3D (meybe even in combination with Second Today) or no TF3D with your usual Today Items.
Thanks! I'll give SecondToday a try.

Can there be a difference in what options there may be on the same Mobile Model?
I could use the information on which can be a difference what options there are notices on a Samsung Galaxy S i9000, so if I can get some users of this model to go to "Messages" - "Settings"and see if there is a menu item called "cell broadcast" on a phone with firmware 2.3.2 and 2.3 ..
I'm on 2.3.3 JVO and have a Cell Broadcast settings menu.
There are 3 different options in the menu...
CB activation
Channel Configuration
Language
It seems strange that the options I have - anyone know why

[Xiaomi][Redmi 2/Prime][MIUI 7/8][No MTP/PTP?][How to]Get the MTP/PTP mode back ON

[This bug was found fixed on MIUI(8) dev (beta) v6.9.29]​Hello everyone! I am back with an exclusive tutorial to get the MTP/PTP USB mode back to ON.
Devices Supported:
All Redmi device (This method was tested on Redmi 2 that is why i am posting it here)
All Note device
All Mi device
Note: This method was tested on the Redmi 2 1GB variant and should work with almost every Xiaomi Device.
MIUI version supported:
7.x
8.x
Dev - 6.x
Have you ever turned the MTP mode off by mistake? Well, Now I have a solution which doesn't even require any third party software to be installed on your Xiaomi MIUI Device.
Connect the device to a Laptop or PC.
Then head to "Settings" in phone.
Go to "About phone".
Tap "MIUI Version" 7 times. (It will enable the developer options if you haven't already)
Then go back to settings menu (or hit settings icon again from the notification shade).
Now head to "Additional settings".
Then tap "Developers Option".
Now Turn the USB Debugging ON.
You will be prompt to confirm your choice. Tap OK to confirm.
The moment you tap OK, the pop up for USB connection will Pop up.
Tap on it (or the notification from notification shade).
And then tap to turn ON the MTP mode and Exit.
You may go to Developers options again and turn off the USB debugging if you want or even turn OFF the developers option.
I have attached some screenshots in order to help you perform the steps better.
This tutorial was taken from my blog on blogger. For any questions regarding these steps, you may use the reply function below.

Because an app is obscuring a permission request... when trying to USB Debug Website

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!
*gentle push*, because the problem still remains

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!

Thank you for the tip! This got me on the right track <3
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,

I have an Honor 8 pro and I'm facing the same issue. I've disabled all apps which draw on the screen and restarted my phone too.

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!
