Missing Verizon settings restoration?? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I just watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQnQWliP_bA&t=307s
And there are several settings options missing:
The optimise button/shortcut (5:40)
The auto restart schedule option (6:24)
Find My Phone (9:56)
Has anyone found a way to restore any of these to the Verizon variant?

[Q] Auto vs. Manual sync (& root)

first time since getting the Moto X i am disappointed (2nd time if you count the mediocre performance of camera in low(er) light situations), looks like i cannot unlock the boot loader (AT&T non dev)). main reason i wanted it is to manually sync easily.
when i just got the device i was able to manually sync even with items selected in Settings > Accounts > Google.. now i can not get that to work as it did before, any ideas how i can set it up like that again?
thanks!

Bootloader unlocking doesn't have anything to do with syncing....at all. What are you wanting to sync? Make sure everything you want to sync is checked under the specific google account in Settings > Accounts > Google.
There is a possibility of unlocking the BL via the China Middleman (use search) but it will cost you money. No reason to spend money if all you want is to sync (something...?). Be more specific, and I can give better advice. I'm really not understanding...

i realize they are 2 separate things, what i meant is if i could root and add items to the quick settings screen it would be a easy way to sync.
sorry i wasn't clear. when i first got the Moto X i checked items in Settings > Accounts > Google, yet it was *NOT* an automatic sync, i had to go in and manually sync, which is what i wanted --then i think i enabled photo backup and suddenly i was unable to have items checked without it syncing automatically, so i redid my phone hoping i could have it as i liked it (mainly 'cuz i think -although a novice- syncing uses a bunch of battery, coming from iOS and being used to 7-8hrs usage)
hope i explained it better... so i want items checked in Settings > Accounts > Google, yet on the main screen of Google, under accounts the sync account was gray, and not green.

OK, yeah AFAIK that's not normal. It sounds like maybe you have turned on google 2-step verification. Also (I know this sounds stupid) but if you haven't rebooted recently, give it a shot.
Additionally, there are some apps that may help you depending on what your goal is:
This app will allow you to automatically trigger SYNC upon certain events. Like you can auto-sync ONLY on WiFi, and turn it off immediately upon switching back to mobile network: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redwolf.autosync&hl=en
This app allows you to add a variety of widgets including a SYNC NOW widget: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.afterhoursdevelopers.android.synker&hl=en
This is the best advice I have for you. No reason the sync should be greyed out unless there is some kind of authentication error OR you have 2-step verification enabled.
Good Luck :good:

i appreciate it.. no 2 step, rebooted several times last night and this morning. trying AutoSync2.. so far flaky at best. i keep searching and/or trying to make it work, guaranteed failure if you say it should not be grayed out in "normal" condition. had a HTC One X which was unrootable and i seem to attract devices who are excluded ;}
thanks!

Not a single sync option is greyed out under settings > accounts > google on my moto x. All I can suggest now is backup and factory reset... Sorry.

no worries... did a factory reset last night, partially for this reason. you helped a lot so no need for sorry. you use Twitter and / or Facebook, one can be turned off sync wise Twitter, other can not. struck me as odd. both not important enough for me to get notifications.

tasker and Accessibility in android 5.1.1

Hi
not sure if I got the correct section in xda forum pls move is not..
I need help make tasker pro turn on a service in Accessibility
if I kill a app it seems to kill its service also in Accessibility under Settings to OFF from ON
restarting the service after killing the app does not solve it turning it back on.
is there a way using send intent or other to turn on a specific service or toggle Accessibility for a apps service listed there?
I did a search on forum but didnt find anything
I guess need a way to load a list of services listed in Accessibility settings
and then pick the one want and toggle it back to ON
cheers for any help
ps Device has full root
Just use Secure Settings
thanks worked like a charm. gave a list of service it could enable
however it was disabled so had to read this site to turn on system+ section
I also bought the plugin so its fully.. wasnt sure if needed but was a few bucks

[Fixed] System freeze after playing with "secondary monitor" in Developer options

[Fixed] System freeze after playing with "secondary monitor" in Developer options
Hey, I just played around in the developer options and wanted to find out what "second monitor" does.
As far as I remember I set it to 480p and the system froze immdediately.
Rebooting the device shows the bootloader but the animation will stop soon.
I am using LineageOS 14.1 on my Sam S3 mini.
I was able to connect via adb - may be I can fix the problem by myself if someone can tell me where these settings are stored.
Some research here and with google gave no useful results so I just asked here.
--- Edit:
I was able to fix the problem in file /data/system/users/0/settings_global.xml which is not were I expected it to be (Google told me different).

VoLTE?

Has anyone ever attempted to get VoLTE to work on Droid 4? The software should all be there in recent builds of LineageOS - I'm running 14.1. There is a "VoLTE Provisioned" flag in the secret Phone Info menu, and my carrier supports it and has enabled it on my account -- but it doesn't show up in that flag and there's no "Advanced Calling" menu anywhere that should be associated with this capability. I don't know at what level this has to be implemented, so if it's more than just software and the capability just doesn't exist in Droid 4's hardware then I can live with that. But I've never been able to get a definitive answer at an adequately-technical level to make me stop asking about it.

IMS setting profiles

Wondering if anyone has info on the terminology or ones that can be used. Google brings some info. I toggled some and lost 100 meg download speed but reverted back. Tmobile Note 8
