Developer tools(Enable again) - Galaxy S 4 General

Don't know if this has been posted, but here we go.
The S4 does not give you developer options in settings, but you can view the settings via using apex launcher.
Go to home screen, tap and hold until "Add to Home screen" appears.
1. Select schorcuts.
2. Select Activities.
3. Scroll down to Settings.
4. Select Settings.
5. Scroll down to Developer options.
6. Select Developer options(.DevelopmentSettings).
And viola you have the developer options where you could enable usb debuging etc,
Regards

Just enable them by tapping build version 7 times..

Thanks for that did not know about that option

How to close an app properly?

After using an app, what is the correct way of close/exiting it?
I usually just press the home key or back key on the S4 phone to close the app, not sure if it is really closed, or maybe still running at background.
Thanks

You are doing it properly. Also, in Settings, you can go to Developer options and select the option to kill a process as soon as it is left.
Don't forget to use the Thanks button!

" in Settings, you can go to Developer options and select the option to kill a process as soon as it is left." > Could you explain step by step where to find this? I am at the home page, I click the Menu button and click Settings, I did not see any developer options. Using Samsung S4.
Go to settings, tap "About phone" 7-8 times, and it will unlock the "Developer options" menu under Settings.
Then, to find the setting you are looking for, go to Settings > Developer options and scroll down until you see a setting called "Don't keep activities" which has a description saying "Destroy every activity as soon as the user leaves it"
I use a Sony Xperia so some of the terms may be different from your phone but basically that is what you have to do...

unable to reliably verify your location - can't watch video with wwe network app

Hello,
I always get the error code "unable to reliably verify your location" on the wwe network app when I try to watch a video. With my Galaxy S3 (WWE App), Amazon Fire TV Stick (WWE App) and with Internet Explorer (website) on Windows 10 everything works fine.
I have already contacted Samsung and WWE. WWE says I should talk with the phone manufacturer and Samsung says I should talk to the app developer.
For Android prior version 6 WWE sent me the following solution:
Please follow the steps below for Android Troubleshooting:
Force Stop and Restart
1. Navigate to your home screen.
2. Tap on the Menu key.
3. Tap on Settings
4. Tap on Applications
5. Tap on Manage Applications
6. Tap on the application to close.
7. Tap on Force stop
8. Tap the Home key to return to your home screen.
9. Restart the device.
Enable Location Settings
1. Tap on device Settings icon
2. Tap on Location access
3. Make sure all location services are checked or enabled
4. Tap the Back icon
5. Tap on Developer Options
6. If Developer Options is not visible, do the following to enable
7. Tap on About phone or About tablet
8. Tap on Build Number seven times to unlock 9. Developer Options
10. Tap the Back key
11. Tap on Developer Options
12. Make sure the toggle in the upper right is set to On
13. Make sure the option to Allow mock locations is unchecked
14. Tap the Back icon
15. Tap on Apps
16. Tap on the WWE App application
17. Tap on Force stop
18. Relaunch App and Try to Watch
However this doesn't function with Android 6.0.1 and the S7 / S7 edge because number "13. Make sure the option to Allow mock locations is unchecked" isn't available anymore on the S7.
Has anyone found a solution?
Thank you very much

Noob question - Disable LockScreen

I have completely forgotten how to disable my lockscreen. I don't want any type of security when I press the power button. I just want to return to wherever I was when the screen was shut off. I don't want to swipe or anything to return to wherever I left off. I feel like I've searched everywhere in the options but I can't locate this. Thank you in advance.
You have to gain access to the Developer menu first. Follow these instructions:
1. Go to Settings --> About Phone and tap several times on "Build number" (I think you have to tap it 7 times if I recall alright). You'll see a toast notification telling you that you've become a developer (congrats!)
2. After this you'll see a new submenu under Settings, so go to Settings --> Developer options and uncheck "Screen lock". Voilà.

Tap vs slide to answer/reject phone calls?

I had this set to tap on the icons (instead of the default slide) to answer or reject a phone call but now I can't find it. Anyone remember how does one is done on the S8? Thanks in advance!
Its in accessibility settings. Search for "Single Tap Mode" in settings to find it quicker.

Was thinking the same .. until I've finally found it, go to Settings > Accessibility > Interaction and dexterity > Assistant menu > Enable it, then scroll down to "Single tap to swipe" and Enable it, after that you can scroll back up to the top and Disable the "Assistant menu", otherwise you will have that circle on your screen.. and you can notice the "Single tap to swipe" remains "On" even with the "Assistant menu" disabled. Enjoy!

If you long press the menu u can hide it. But for me it works with assistant menu off.

For some works but for others all work except "for calls" e.g. alarms, notifications, etc. , you can then enable the "Assistant Menu", the circle button can be hidden if you tap and hold it, it will show a "Drag here to hide X" at the top, once that is gone, you can get rid of the "Accessibility" notifications easily by going to Settings > Accessibility > click on the 3 dots in the corner right, then "Hide status notifications":

(remove the space after http to load the images)
The problem is the only thing that i need is the calls - all others i don't use
I tried this on my Sprint s8+ which just got pie and even after doing this the notification for the assistant menu stays on the notification bar and can't be removed (it's minimized and silenced so only visible when u swipe down but can't be hidden or removed)

I am trying to set up a Moto E6 for better accessibility for my 86yo mother-in-law. The phone upgraded to Pie, but there does not seem to be an option for tap to swipe even when I activate the menu. Any other ideas for how to get a tap to answer a call since she can't hold the button and swipe? I see comments about senior-friendly launchers and an app called easy answer. Even with the lock screen disabled the phone still demands swipe to answer. She'd have to have the phone screen on at all times to get a push to answer prompt from Motorola.
Thanks,
Dan

Tethering shortcut?

Hi,
New to oxygen. How do I add a wifi tethering shortcut to the top drawer?
Currently it takes 6-7 clicks to get to the menu.
Running 9.5.7.GM21AA
Hi, you can do that by following these steps
1) Install Nova launcher. Don't need to use it as default launcher.
2) Once installed, long press on home screen and select "widgets"
3) Scroll down and tap and hold " Nova launcher Activities”
4) Scroll down and expand "Settings"
5) Once Settings is expanded, scroll down and tap "Hotspots & Tethering".
Now you have a shortcut straight to Tethering saving you 3-4 taps.
You should be able to add the icon to your QuickSettings labled "Hotspot"

It worked perfectly on MiUI 12. There was a "Tethering and portable hotspot option"
