Simplified settings menu on Verizon S8+ - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

For those like myself who don't care for Verizon's "butchered" settings menu, press the 3 for menu in settings and select "view as simplified list".

Been doing this with every phone since lollipop. Just easier to find things in my opinion since Android's settings have looked that way since I can remember.

Samsung Cloud?
Is Samsung Cloud available or did Verizon remove that also, like they did with Note 7?

I actually really like settings the other way, and the unlocked rom and a fresh verizon rom install do not have the option. Any idea how I can put it back?

See not there

I too have no three dot button to change back to the normal settings. If anyone knows of a way to get it back I would love to hear it. For some stupid reason the unlocked firmware doesn't give you the option

This is what you have to enter to bring three dots back. As I can see it is carrier-dependent feature.

Where's Call Settings in ICS?

Not something I use very often but today my mate and I were comparing the Nexus on ICS to the Samsung Galaxy SII on Gingerbread, and we couldn't find Call Settings anywhere on the Nexus, to set up things like forwarding calls?
I'm running CM9 A18 and hes just got the stock Gingerbread. I remember Call Settings being there in Settings on my stock GB Nexus S, so where's it moved to now?
did you try pressing the menu button?

Maybe you're opening the People app. Call settings are in the Phone app. I think there were more options in the settings menu on gingerbread as opposed to in the phone app.
edit: nvm

cyanogenmod options

Is there a way to get cyanogenmod options like having the extra settings options or swiping in the right corner to bring up quick settings screen instead of notifications without installing the cyanogenmod rom?

Not yet. You'll have to wait for CM11 nightlies or start working on your own.
I would perfer to keep the stock rom, I just want the extra menus and options like that.

actually the default quick settings would be fine I just want to be able to edit what goes in there also Is there a way to edit the buttons so a long press on home does something different

[Q] Re-enable location services consent?

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..

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!
