How to permanently disable bluetooth Audio

On older Windows Mobile phones you could delete the codec for Audio and leave the one for phone. Maybe you could do this on older Android too, I can't remember.
Now it's just a Check Box to disable it.
Problem is, every time I start my car it gets re-enabled when it connects the phone. And sometimes will even start the music player on the phone. even when that source is not selected.
Car is 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 8.4AN Nav package.
It's Nav is no where as good as the Nav in the phone.

While this isn't an answer for bluetooth on the whole,
On the 8.4, go to the bluetooth settings, go to the second tab on the left for audio device, and disconnect there (while leaving the phone connected). As long as it has seen that once, I don't believe it attempts to reconnect it again unless you tell it to specifically.

good luck with this though
I'm not sure if this applies to HTC phones but on samsung ones you can longpress whichever pair device, select options, and uncheck media. This should disable music and should still alow phone calls to come thru

I think that's what the OP meant when they said:
"Now it's just a Check Box to disable it."
If not, that's entirely valid

Correct. I can disable it fine. Until the next time you start the car and it rechecks it.

MTP Connection Problems? - Solved

There have been a lot of problems with MTP for people with all different OS's and phone only being able to connect using Kies / Air / PTP. I too had the same problem. There was a lack of information on the internet for it. Well hopefully we can have a master list of fixes for other people having trouble because the S4 really seems to be a solid phone (I upgraded from a POS S2.)
Anyway here are a few threads to check out before checking out what my solution was.
Registry Fix - Does not apply to everyone - I did not have the UpperFilter Keys present.
Device Manager Fix
As for me, I stated I had a Galaxy S2 before. So I already had the Samsung S USB drivers. Yours could possibly be out of date. Mine was updated in April of 2013 which was the latest driver. You can find it here. Latest version at time of this post - 1.5.14.0
Samsung USB Driver 1.5.14.0 - XP/Win7/Win8
So let's get down to the fix.
Unplug phone if plugged in.
Remove Samsung USB Driver in add/remove programs. Just in case it became corrupted at some point.

}
Restart after removing.
Install latest Samsung USB Driver. Link Above.
Plug in phone and see if it connects and shows up under My Computer / Auto Play box pops up.
If it does, great, fixed for you. Most people that are experiencing this issue though, it will not be THAT simple. If not, continue.
Now hit WINDOWS KEY + R and in the run... box type devmgmt.msc to bring up the device manager.
In the screenshot you will see the SAMSUNG USB controller lited under USB devices with no Yellow !, this is when it is working normally.
What you may see is underneath the "System Devices" menu and above the "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" menu, you may see the Samsung USB menu there.
Expand it
Right click
Properties
Driver tab and click Update Driver.
When next menu comes up, click "Search automatically for updated driver software" so it searches the internet for the latest driver. Should go out and find the correct driver and install it. Device should now pop up through MTP. Good luck!

Led Notifications not working

As the title says my Note does not turn the Led on for notifications, I already check the setting is turned on, I tested it with *#0*# it works there, but not for any notification, any ideas?

I would toggle the switch and reset, otherwise no clue, it works fine on mine. Is it working for charging, fully charged? Wasn't there another setting for colors? I'm confused myself, so many settings.

I tried all that, even did a factory reset but is not working for me. :crying:

The only other thing I can think of is power savings... hopefully. Does it turn on when you charge the phone?

Yes it does turn on when charging the phone, I checked power saving settings but they were turned off.

Check this in settings -> display?

I would try a 3rd party app that lets you customize the led lights see if that works. And if it doesn't work I'd get a new one. That's no fun. I'm sorry.

Thanks for all your suggestions what finally worked for me in addition to having the led notification on I had to turn Notification reminder on as well otherwise it just doesn't work, not sure if that's the case for you guys but well at least I have it working now.

I was just going to suggest double checking notification reminder, I think its set per application, besides global, but I'm surprised factory reset didn't work, unless you switch it off manually in both cases.

Developer options is missing?

I have scoured the internet for answers on why my developer options won't turn on. I'm running a note 8.

Hate to ask such an obvious question but, are you aware the developers option shows up at the bottom of the main settings page, just under "about phone"?
Failing that, if you download this app from the Play Store, it should hopefully give you access to developers options menu, seeing as you have already enabled it by clicking on the build number 7 times
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=options.developer.com.developeroptions

I know where developer options should be, it's not there.
Also the app is telling me to turn it on

Did you tap on "Build Number" more then 7 times in about phone/software info.?
Keep on tapping it you'll see a toast message at bottom of screen counting down to 0 the it will say developers options enabled. Then back out of settings and reopen settings and scroll down to bottom. Might try rebooting the phone.
Worst case scenario is to do a BACKUP and factory reset. Not necessarily needed but who knows.

Kindle Fire HD 7 2012 version Launcher Debug on startup

Hi
I know mykindle is old but my autistic son uses it and he cannot handle change thus still using it.
I have no idea how this has happened at all. BUt now it seems when I reboot the device, the notifications bit has a notice saying "tap to access launcher debug settings".
When I tap this it takes me to those settings (which I have never seen before in any of the settings area) and I can quit out of it.
Why is this happening and is it a sign of a bigger problem?
Just to be clear, while I do have ADB enabled (in case I brick it and need to use kindle-unbrick in the future) nothing else is unusual. It is not rooted and I have never put a custom rom/system/launcher on it at all.
I can only guess that this change has accurred because either a game I have installed has tweaked something, or, a particular tablet-crash has pushed this into being.
So is it a problem? Can I stop it? Why has it happened?
Any thoughts would be massively appreciated please.
Thank you.
Alex

Hello. Sorry for the late reply. Anyways, I'm happy to help you. I also use a Kindle Fire HD 7 2012, so you can expect the best results. IDK the reason of the problem, it appeared in the same way as yours. But the fix is so simple, take a closer look at it:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Long-tap at the notification (some program appeared at the top, don't pay attention to it):
Tap "Manage Notification", as the arrow above suggests.
So, you must have the same screen, applications may differ. Tap the "Off" toggle in the right corner after the "Launcher", as arrow suggests, and go to the home screen. When you will look at notifications, a message must disappear.
If you experience any further problems, let me know. I'll try to respond in my free time.
And thank you for posting the question, without it I couldn't solve it (really).
Have a nice day!
HTH,
