[Q] Re-enable location services consent? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I'm have been banging my head in search for this option but not able to figure it out. Few days back, I had accepted the following popup and also selected don't show again checkbox:
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, I want to re-enable this popup for my mobile. Is there any setting I can change and get it back?
Another issue I am facing is that my phone cannot remember the last selected "Location mode". Everytime I switch on location by dragging the slider, it goes to "high accuracy" mode instead of previously selected "device only" mode. Is this a known issue or am I the only one facing it?
I am on Stock Lollipop rom - LRX22C.
Thanks.

It defaults to high accuracy when you switch it from off to on again. As for how to re enable the pop up message, im not sure how to do that, besides flashing the system image that is.

Thanks for confirming. Can you help me with one more thing please, if we select "Disagree" on this popup, does it go to "Device only" mode? Unfortunately I am not able to test it out on my phone right now, and could not get any concrete answers on google search either.
I'm talking to Google support for bringing back the pop-up. Seems like even they are not aware of how to do it, and trying to figure it out with me. Let's see.. I will post the resolution here once I have it.

Yup, if you select disagree it does go to device only.

Managed to figure it out myself. I have posted the solution here..

Help with Skype (I searched first)

Simply put, I cannot get Skype to work on my Touch Pro.
I can use it to chat, but the option to talk is there, but I cannot select it.
I found a few instances of this happening on Windows Mobile 6.1 around the web, but no consensus on how to fix it.
Can you elaborate a little as to why it does not work? What happens when you open? Have you tried the obviouse which is to uninstall and soft reset and re-install? Throw a little more up so we can help you. _SDL
I did try to uninstall and re-install complete with a soft reset, yes. I also tried this with both versions of Skype mobil offered on Skype.com.
Basically, when you launch the program, a list of your contacts are displayed.
I can click on a contact and bring up their detailed information.
However, I can only click to chat and cannot click to talk. The image below is taken from my home computer as I do not have the screen capture feature installed on my phone. Now on my phone the red phone icon would be grayed out and you are not ale to click on it to do a voice call. You are able to fully click on the chat icon, though.

"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have the same problem, I think.
You can sign in OK, but all of the contacts appear off-line (even though I know they are not). If a contact is selected, the chat button is enabled, but the voice call button is disabled.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling - no effect.
I tried changing the options (Wifi on/off, etc). No effect.
Yes, exactly.
Sorry I cannot edit my post to fix the image, but I keep getting a server error.
Doh!!!
The answer was that I had my status set to "offline".
Set it to "Online" and it works OK (except that it uses the back speaker - that's the next thing I need to get sorted).

[Q] Dialer Process

I use my Nexus kinda like a glorified pmp for now (I don't have a sim card), so it runs in airplane mode 24/7 with wifi active. Why would the dialer process be so high when looking at the battery stats?

EDIT: I found something that said it could be the "turn to silence" feature causing runaway Dialer usage. I looked and mine was indeed checked. I turned it off and will see if that changes anything tomorrow.

Where is that turn to silence option located at?
I don't have this issue, but sounds like a good tip to share when the question inevitably pops up again...

Sorry for the late reply, forgot i started this thread.
It's in Call Settings. Look for "Turn over silence" under Advanced Settings. For what it's worth, it didn't solve my issue. Dialer is still sitting around 17%
Bump.... Any help?
Any interest in combining threads?

[BUG in Marshmallow?] Accidentally blocked premium messages

I accidentally tapped 'NEVER ALLOW' when asked to choose between 'ASK AGAIN', 'ALWAYS ALLOW' and 'NEVER ALLOW' for premium messages and I can't seem to find the setting in the settings to change it back. I am on Marshmallow. Anybody can help? Thank you.
EDIT: I installed Google Messenger and when I tried to send a premium message, I got the same popup again but this time I pressed ALWAYS ALLOW and everything worked fine. Although, the normal Messages app is still blocked from sending these premium messages. Here is a screenshot of this popup:
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I need to change the setting on the normal Messages app. I can't seem to find the setting and it most probably is a bug in Marshmallow.
The only fix I could get is to factory reset. There's a missing setting which forces you to do so.
If you got this problem, your only option is to factory reset.
Yeap, there is a bug here. The only solution is making factory reset
I have the same problem. Unfortunately, I was forced to download another application to send text messages, because i can't do factory reset yet. But, I've noticed that the lock works only on the number on which clicked "do not allow"

No there is a way to do it.
Found the solution.
Go to application manager
Then go to the top right to more then hit show system apps
Then go down to messaging services
Once you're in there go to the send premium sms and select always send.

Hi bigoliver i found that option but nothing to configure just on/off
It is installed but no options to use it
Search the settings several times
Can't find
I don't use the feature myself, so assumed it was a simple on/off setting.
Hopefully someone with more experience is able to help.
This option is for some reason hidden but we have it on our phone. I access it with Bluetooth in my car. When I first time connected my phone and car, I got notification about smart unlock and when I press on that notification I got setting for smart unlock and then choose gps. That's only way I could activate that, and I can tell you that unlocking doesn't working 90% of the time, both Bluetooth and GPS. I had similar problem with s8 plus, but not that much.

Google Files Default Sort

The Google Files default sort seems to be "alphabetical" . Is there anyway I can change the default to "newest".
I've looked into settings but there doesn't appear to be anything there.

Select the menu icon in the top right corner, then select "sort by".

Yes. But only works once on my phone, Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite. Newest then doesn't then stay selected as the ongoing default for the next time after the phone has been switched off.

Same here. Only works 1 time. Upon re entry, I have to re sort.
This is true for ANY phone I've had, my current phones, Pixel 4 and S21U.
Any updates on this? Everytime I want to find an image to post, I always have to go to the sort by tab. Very time consuming, especially with small image thumbnails making it easy to post the wrong image. If I wanted to post an image here (or anywhere) it will take me 3 or 4 clicks to find it!
