enabled developer options and long pressed the gear thing in notifications shade. no go. is it somewhere else? can't find it...
Just activated UI tuner myself. Have debugging on and keep trying to touch and hold the gear. It took me about for tries. It let me know that System UI Tuner was enabled.
nope not working. this is driving me insane. zero issues enabling in the dev previews...

Did you upgrade from a previous build, in which you had already enabled dev options? Maybe try disabling developer options and re-enabling developer options, then try the gear again? Android Wear companion app, for instance, has been known to require disabling-and-reenabling developer options before the app will reveal its own internal developer options (e.g., take wearable screenshot).
so...i got it working. had to disable developer options, do the gear long press thing, then re-enable developer options. what a pita that was. thanks DA6030 for the suggestion, which worked!
btw this was with a clean install of the factory image, not an upgrade. i was under the impression that you had to enable dev options first, which apparently is not the case
Its still there, same way to activate it.

I can't seem to find this feature on my Moto X. I have the MLB app, and in a previous life I used to use mock locations on other phones to surpass the blackout restrictions. Yes yes.... naughty naughty, but now I live in the LA area, and want to watch my team that will never hit me as a blackout result.
The problem is, I get the error message that I used to get when I had mock locations enabled on my previous devices. I wanted to check this to see if this was the problem so I can disable it, but I can't find it anywhere in the settings menus.
Now I'm more curious as to what happened to it...
Any help would be much appreciated!

If you mean you can't find the option to enable mock locations, it's in developer options on the settings screen. As of Android 4.2, you must go into "about phone" and tap the build number 5 times to enable developer options.

Thank you so much! I feel so stupid for missing this change.

Hi all, hoping to find a solution to an issue I've been having with a new N6. The Auto-rotate feature is refusing to activate when I put the phone on its side. Apps which force landscape mode (eg Netflix) can still function normally, its just rotating when the phone is sideways that doesn't work.
Things I have tried:
reboot
un-check and then re-check autorotate in the swipe down quick access menu
un-check and then re-check "landscape mode on rotate" in settings > display.
verify accelerometer is working ("check my android" and "accelerometer monitor" both show active readings on all three axes)
None of the above have worked. Has anyone had any experience with this issue? All the threads I found by searching the forums were fixed by checking the accelerometer with the above-mentioned apps.
Device info:
Nexus 6, rooted and unlocked, running stock android 5.1 ROM over the latest leankernel.
go into your main settings, accessibility, now enable it. now you can use the iption in the pulldown as well.

Not sure what you are talking about. Home screen does not rotate . That is a hack. If apps not rotating then have a problem. I run stock rooted with LeanKernel and rotation works as it should.

That is beside the point. We talking a one poster here. LMAO
Sorry if I wasn't clear. I mean that the Auto-rotate feature is not working in any scenario when I turn the phone over, for example in chrome or on YouTube or any other applicable. The only way I am able to enable landscape mode is to use an all which forces landscape mode (eg Netflix), but this does not fix the Auto-rotate even temporarily, and switching to an app like YouTube afterwards resumes the issue.

If the apps showing sensors work only option is to reflash the device. Then if don't work the apps were wrong and need to RMA.

You are correct. Display in 5.1.1 Have option to stay in portrait but that is not default. If it was switched and running stock as posted was an operator error. lol

Damn, I was hoping to avoid reflashing quite so soon. Any recommendations on a backup app I can use so I don't have to manually reinstall and reapply everything after flashing?

Fastboot flash the images separately. Don't flash the userdata.img. Will keep your data. If have Google restore enabled it now restores most everything if you do wipe data. Can use TIBU but have to move the backup to PC if you wipe data as you will lose it. Can actually make a zip file with TIBU to backup that also requires root and a custom recovery such as TWRP. Sucks with no external sd. Lol

Sorry to be a bore but I'm not 100% clear on what you mean by "fastboot flash the images separately". I didn't think it was possible to, for example, flash a fresh copy of a ROM or kernel without deleting data. Are you advising me to flash something else?
Apologies if its a silly question - I'm still relatively new to the game.
Managed to work out what the above poster meant, and reflashed the bootloader, radio, boot and system images successfully. Unfortunately my phone still refuses to autorotate is there anything else I can try or is it time to get a replacement?
I have a H872 running on 11G. I am not able to enable developer options.
I've done the whole going into "About Phone" and tapping on build, no go.
I've rebooted and that didn't work.
A hard reset didn't work.
Trying in safe mode didn't work.
I've tried a fresh install via the 11G kdz and that didn't work.
I tried QuickShortcutMaker to try to get there and that didn't work.
I tried Nova Launcher's shortcuts option (suggested by someone a couple of years ago, in a post on the G5) and that didn't work.
I've run into a wall at this point and would welcome * any * suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Hmm, you're sure you tapped the "Build Number" in "Software info" in "About phone" a total of 7 times? Usually I'll just spam it to be safe until it shows that Developer Settings has been enabled as a toast. Developer Options should also just be in the "General" tab in settings about "About Phone".
@FrumpyElk you can try this:
*#546368#*872# in the dialer app. a "hidden menu" comes up and you can turn on usb debugging (SVC/LDB)
hope that helps!
No luck guys. The USB Debugging option is grayed out (when I go through the dialer). I can't even get to the About Phone screen anymore. I only see two things in the phone's settings - Wifi and Tethering. Nothing else. I can't even shortcut to it.
for some reason i had this too.. i couldnt select the usb debugging option it was greyed out. so i was trying a whole slew of things then i found myself back at the svc menu enabling port diag so i could mess with some boxes (i was murdering frp) and i thought "why not" and click on LDB and holy cow it wasnt greyed out. can not re-create dont want to but i think it was the port diag thing maybe by turning that on i could also then turn on the ldb thing? i dunno but i broke the hardest frp yet so im smiling.
I am facing similar issue. Cannot enable USB debugging or OEM Unlock for life of me.
Tried so many tutorials on youtube.
Even dialing *#546368#*872# in the dialer app. "A "hidden menu" comes up and you can turn on usb debugging (SVC/LDB)" . That menu is also disabled for me !
I am doing this in order to bypass FRP, I'm officially stuck.
Any insights or thoughts ?
I have this problem that when I want to activate an accessibility service, I get a pop up message that says if there is an overlapping app blocking the options I should drag it away or close the app, as in the screenshot attached. I have no idea what is causing this but I have not been able to activate any accessibility services since upgrading to MIUI version 10.2. The device is rooted with magisk. Any help will be appreciated to get this sorted out. I get the Pop-Up each time I tap ok.

Turn off full screen gestures, this is blocking the Accessibility settings.
After you have enabled the Accessibility stuff, I believe you can turn on full screen gestures again.

You're welcome.
Actually I had the same problem in Februari on my Mi Note 2 (I have a Mix1 also, they are very closely related as to firmware).
After trying everything I could think of, and nothing helped, I sat back and thought "what else draws over other apps"?
Bingo! Gestures.
And it worked.
I realized that when I change some settings in ColorOS it magically changes back without telling you.
I installed Google Assistant from the app store. It required Google Assistance to be selected as the default Assistive App [default value : none]. After I changed that.. it changes back at some random amount of time.. I'm not able to work out how long it takes for it revert the setting.. but sure enough it will.
Another App is LastPass.. It requires me to Enable Autofill from accessbility Options.. Once again I turn it ON.. after some random amount of time it will revert it back to "Off"...
What can be done to stop this from happening?

Happens to some degree in the EU model too,noticed the lastpass app autofill stops amongst other things. Am thinkin maybe it's the Phone Manager app which I think kills battery intensive apps if you allow it

I'll give this a try.. I've gone into phone manager -> startup manager and allowed the two apps.. the two apps wasn't there even though I have allowed the app to run in the background.
We will see tomorrow.
Nope that didn't work.. anyone else have other suggestions? Anything to remove delete or hack?

Man,I don't know what the issue is but read on the Realme community that the OS just reverts to defaults to ensure proper functioning of the phone,
ColorOS is certainly the biggest downside to this phone. Am missing OxygenOS on my 6T a lot though I'm Gona stick with the x2 pro for now,
Bought the phone for its flagship specs and storage and and to get away from the hassle of messing around with the phones setting's with tricks and mods.
Have decided to just accept colourOS for what it us.,though there is some battery drain,it's not awful and I'm still getting notifications.
Will just have to hope things improve with updates and the next big update should improve things a lot,mind you,it's a long way to April ?
Not notice anything revert on mine... This sounds like the same issue I had on the mi 9... I can't remember how I solved it but it was something to do with the auto security checks the phone manager app did... After a set amount of time the phone manager would perform certain checks and reset certain options throughout the operating system.

Sounds about right,Have feeling the phone manager app has something to do with it.It does not like the developer options
Ok.. I found my work around for now.
I'm using tasker every 10 mins to change the accessibility options for all the apps that need it and set the google assistant to default.
Working ok so far for the last day.

Seems like more trouble than its worth,the only settings I'm having trouble keeping are the animation ones, but honestly it's not bothering me anymore. Have animations setting set to fast in the stock launcher setting and it's not so bad.
Didn't think lastpass was working but it has been appearing to autofill login to sites in a chrome
