I can't access Security settings anymore? - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Like, at all...
Settings -> Security = Crash for me :T
My phone keeps saying "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" whenever I click on Security in Settings.
I'm not sure when exactly this started, but I've only just noticed it today.
The only thing different I've noticed was that when I opened S-Health, I got another window for an update and just did it anyways without really thinking at all. For all I know it could have been an unrelated update for my phone I suppose.
Is there anyway to find out what's wrong?
Can I fix this without factory resetting?

Try clearing the data for settings?

I can't seem to delete this thread, but after a Googling a bit more, I found out that the problem was the s-view case with Verizon models d: also, you can change the settings in safe mode if you don't feel like taking off the case s:

I have the same problem it appears that there is a nother third-party app that's causing the pro I don't know which app it is.
But I can access security if I do a reboot into safe mode. When you need to access security try that.

Disabling Apps ? and Caution

I like the new feature of ICS that allows you to disable apps. I used it immediately to remove the VZW bloatware that was pre installed (back up assistant).
But I may of taken it a step too far. I disabled the default calculator app ( just happen to like realcalc better). When I did that it screwed up my calendar. All of my events were MIA. Luckily I caught it before I did anything else and couldn't pinpoint the problem. - undisabled the calculator and every thing went back to normal.
So, like it says in the warning use caution when disabling system apps. And hopefully my little boo boo helps some one else out.
Anyone else disable a app and notice any strange or unexpected results???

I disabled Books, Vz backup, and phone (I'm using another dialer). So far no issues.
I also used autostarts to keep a few other apps from starting automatically all the time.

[Q] backing up cached Google music

I've been flashing ROMs for a while but have not been able to figure out how to back up my Google music so o don't lose it on a clean flash.
I'm thinking if I go to /data/data/com.Google.music/files and move it to my SD card that I could flash and move it back afterwards. Can someone confirm this for me?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
As far as I can tell; anything you manually chose to save offline should get restored* when restoring app with data through Titanium. As for the regularly cached after playing, haven't seen a way.
-edit
*Automatically re downloads for offline use. Not quite "restored."

Yeah, I went 10gb over my 5gb plan because of re-download and not monitoring it close enough.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Yeah, wish there was a way to set it to download only on WiFi but also force it over mobile if one chose to. At least one option exists, even if it is a pain to manually switch when needed. Here's hoping for such a setting in a future update..

Whats the difference between clicking a Force mobile sync and Changing the Setting to sync on both anyway ?
Oh come on!
There's a thread about this on Q&A; didn't anybody notice that this thread is in the wrong section?
Also check this thread.

I meant that you have the ability to have it only download over WiFi so mobile data doesn't get used unexpectedly. Some apps have similar settings but include the ability to "force" the download on mobile. Presently, you can switch the settings on the fly to accomplish this, but it's not ideal. That's all I meant.

S note not working

S Note had been working for me but now when I try to open a new note or open a note I already have, S Note simply closes. I've also included a logcat. Thank you.
Did you try going into Application manager in settings and clearing cache and data? Wil Snotes stay open without trying to open a saved Snote?

I had tried clearing its data and cache. Snote would go through its introduction,right after choosing the templates,it stops then closes,then its the same thing. Snotes will stay open but it only happens trying to open a new or saved note.

Well, what if anything might you have changed between the last time it worked and when it didn't... No matter how seemingly Innocuous... Freeze anything?

I hadnt froze anything, I fixed it by reflashing the system from a backup I have but the thing is that this has happened before on my note. But I dont know what causes it.

Damn this is happening to me too
changing build prop device id can cause this. I saw where people where changing their build prop to download different Samsung apps and run the higher res Youtube app. This may not apply to any of you but this is a know cause of S-note not working. If you haven't done anything like this then I'd have to think it was something else you possibly did on your phone.

I changed the build prop Android version to 5.0 to enable higher YouTube resolution and s note stopped working. When I switched back to 4.4.4 it is working again.....

Service mode for SM-N920A

Hi Everyone,
Need help. I've been trying so hard to access my Note 5's Service mode to try and test if my Fingerprint scanner is working (as I keep on getting the dreaded error whenever I try to access Fingerprints) but to no avail. I keep getting Connection problem or invalid MMI code error message no matter what code I try. Any suggestions? I'm using this phone in the Philippines by the way with a non AT&T sim card. My phone is not rooted.
Thanks in advance for your help!
:good:

Yes this is the one.
This is the correct keypad code and has worked since the release firmware and still does on marshmallow. You know you are supposed to enter this in the phone app dialer right? The fingerprint test is in Sensors on that codes page.

Hi ToxicDev,
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately tried that as well but also did not work. Do you think this is because I am not in the U.S. and I am not using an AT&T sim?
Thank you in advance for the help!

I just noticed something. I Checked Application Maneger in Settings 》scrolled ro the right to the All tab and I have Phone Applications. All are version 1.0.0. 1 is 100kb and the 2 others are 8kb in size. All 3 are activated. I cleared cache on the 2 8kb sized Phone app and forced stop them both. Tried *#873636# on the dialer = same error, tried *#0*# = same error.
Can I ask help from you guys how many phone apps do you have in the All tab in Application Manager? If 3, which is the one activated?
Many thanks in advance guys!

Hi Jack Man,
Where can I find Package Disabler? My Device Admin contains only:
Lookout > set to on or Activated
MobileIron > for my work email set to on or Activated
Android Device Manager > set to On or activated
Outlook Delivery Policy > set to off or Deactivated
Can it be found in any of those?
Thanks in advance!

It's just an app that can be purchased in the Google play Store that is used to disable things on the phone that can't be disabled through the phone's normal application manager. If you haven't installed it, it's not on your phone
Hi Jack Man,
I got Package Disabler now installed. Whats my next step?

You simply asked what Package Disabler is. I never said you needed it to get you service mode working. If *#0*# wasn't working before, installing that app isn't going to help.
I'm not sure I understand what your motive is. At the beginning of this thread you said you're trying to check if your fingerprint scanner is working. After looking at the options in my service mode menu, I don't even see anything regarding the scanner.
After re-examining the service menu (*#0*#), there is a fingerprint sensor test under the general sensor test area.
I don't know why you're not able to access it, though.

Samsung pay after MM update

Just updated, i did clear my prints and i can register new ones. I csn unlock my phone with the new prints without issues but i cant use samsung pay.
It says "verify new prints" but a pop up says " opening secure pin code, please wait" but nothing happens.
Anyone else?

No need for screen shots. It asks to verify fingerprints and a pop up saying "opening secure pin code pad, please wait"
But it never openes. I have cleared cache and data for S. PAY but still the same.

Mine did this too. Do you have any apps disabled through Package Disabler or the app manager?
When I encountered this problem I enabled everything and suddenly Samsung Pay worked and it went past that "opening secure pin code..." window.

I thought about that and enabled everything but it still did it. I I ended doing a factory reset and that solved it. Guess it's good to start fresh anyways

I asked for screenshot because when I started it after the update it looked like I was waiting for it to do something but really I need to do something.
