I have left some items with their default settings, and want to know if changing them will screw up the nightlies (when they resume)
Does USB debugging, debugging notify and allow mock locations have to be on?
Can the device hostname be changed to be more name friendly on my router?
Under privacy, can I deselect backup my data? I don't want anything stored on google.
Finally there is an option (can't remember where) named run in compatible mode. Is this necessary to be active?
Thanks so much!

1. No, but its recommended to have usb debugging enabled, in case anything happens
2.Yes, the device host name can be changed.
3.Yes, you can, just remember you de-selected it in case things go missing
4.No, you don't have to have it checked, but having it checked doesn't do any harm.
Thanks for the really quick feedback!

Hey Guys/Gals,
So my screen won't turn on but fortunately, Samsung is fixing it for free! Thats pretty much the only good news that I have.
For reasons that I'd rather not share, there were contacts added to my phone's internal HD (this is an assumption), rather than adding their info to Google/Gmail. If you can recall, when adding a new phone, you are prompted with 2 choices: Phone or Google. On many occasions, I selected the "phone" option.
To my dismay (noob fail), I didn't root my phone after the Froyo update. Hence, I cant access : data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts.db <--- where i believe the contacts are stored.
I can't transfer my contacts from one phone to another (via the hub and 2 wires) b/c the appropriate settings can not be set from my phone, due to the powerless screen.
I have exhausted all options that I could think of and am now finally turning to XDA for help. Can anyone offer some help please? I will be greatly appreciated.

I responded in the other post you made on the same subject. Sprint can do it as long as it turns on. Got the machine.

This isn't true according to what they told me. They said they need to configure some settings which would allow them to do so. These settings can't be configured unless the screen is on <--- what they told me :/

That's probably what they needed to set. I remember the girl at the Sprint booth didn't have to set anything to suck the contacts off my Palm Pre but I guess it is different for Epic contact sucking.
When I try to download app using wifi at my house my android market stuck at download but when I used library wifi it work fine.

dude you have to be more specific. were all other devices with wifi able to connect?
Well it's obviously not your device considering you said it worked on a different network.
so my question to you is why ask a router related question in a cell phone forum?
if you have a modem and a router pull the power cable out of both, wait 15-30 seconds, then plug the MODEM in first(has to be this order) and wait for the MODEm to sync up(if dsl is your service wait for the light labled DSL/SYNC to go solid and if cable wait for the light labled CABLE to go solid). After you have properly synced your MODEM then plug the router in and wait for that to boot up.
Now all of that is only needed if you have NO connection on any device, otherwise you will just be wasting your time.
Please give more details to your issue
make sure you aren't using a firewall type program, like droidwall, or if you are, then you need to grant firewall access to market, and probably tick "allow background data" check box, under android's settings menu

That shouldn't be the issue. Unless the app knows to block market on one network and not the other.
If we knew if other devices or even that one could browse webs we could cancel out a large portion and narrow it down pretty quick

Also make sure your sd card is valid. Mount it on your pc and do a chkdsk, I recently had a market download issue and doing a usb mount my pc wanted to clean the disk. After cleaning it, it started to work again.

Make sure that the firewall for your home network (either on your router or modem) isn't in nazi mode like I had mine set as. I had to open up the necessary ports for my phone to access the Android Market. After a while I got sick of reading logs and opening ports so I just decreased the level of auschwitz my firewall was set as.
I apologize if my wordage offends you, but I had my **** locked down TIGHT.
I think you right.. can you give me instruction to change the firewall or port for my router/modem???
I don't know what kind of modem or router you have. I suggest you find the manuals for your respective devices and see how they tell you to configure your settings. As for the ports, a quick google search finds that you need to open port 5228* on the outside and inside of the firewall for the Google Market. Like I said before, I had to check my logs to see what ports my phone was trying to open and then allow them.

Is there security risk involved?
thanks!
Sure there are. Programs can send commands to your phone. If you don't know what the program does, it could be doing something nasty.
BUT it's necessary to turn on if you want apps to be able to do stuff to your phone. Like the flashing apps, running scripts etc. Turn it on when you need it, turn it off when you don't if you're worried.

I swear I am not an idiot (most of the time). My Tab 3 8.0 is rooted (yay!) and I'm looking for the Developer's section in Settings to turn on USB Debug mode - but I can't find this. According to Samsung, I should have Developers listed on the left side with the rest of my options, but I don't see this. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/faq/FAQ00055286/66880 I believe I've gone into all of the options to see if it was hidden, etc., but I can't seem to find this. (Maybe I just need my morning caffeine.)
Ah, yep found how to add the Developer Options.
Go to Settings > About device.
Tap Build number seveen times.
Now I can mark USB debugging and continue on with Titanium Backup Pro.
I seriously did Google this before asking my question... then I reworded my question and found how to add the Developer Options. Regardless, I figured someone else might want to know the answer.
Good evening, my pixel 6 USB preferences is missing from the status bar and also for some reason it will not keep the roaming network I pick and chooses to act like automatic.
I need it to stay on a specific network so u don't get roaming charges internationally, but when I click on the roaming network I want, it goes to the next one. I have automatically connect to network off. Anyone offer any help please?
Thank you in advance
Try a network reset if you haven't.
Clear system cache.
I will try that thank you, and about the USB preferences missing, anyway to add them to status bar?

Don't know. Check Developer options.
This seems to be a common complaint... you may need to work around it.

Yeah, couldn't find the option in developmer options not sure why the removed such a very useful feature
Can you fix the title to make more contextual sense for anyone browsing?
We don't want to read "Help please", it'd be better for everyone to read "[Help] USB Status Notification Missing" or whatever would better describe your issue.
I hate to say it, but the only thing I can think of to try is a factory reset. But I don't know if it'll help. The USB settings in Developer Options is present for me.
In the developer option I have a "Default USB configuration" toggle which then brings up a sub menu for the various options (File Transfer, USB Tethering, MIDI, PTP and No data transfer". Is this what you meant, or were you looking for an option to switch on a quick tile in the main notification drop down? If the latter, I don't think that exists in Android 12.
