USB Not Connecting to PC... - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Found this if anyone wishes to try it as it worked for me...:angel:
Go to Settings→About Phone/Tablet.
Go to “Build Number” at the end of the Scroll list.
Tap on “Build Number” repeatedly (7 times).
On your third tap you should see message indicating that you only have 4 more taps to go to ‘become a developer’.
Keep tapping until you are a developer.
Now Developer Option will be included in setting list of yours now.
Go to “Develop Options” to check USB debugging > OK. Done
Hope this helps anyone :good:

Disconnect Internet?

On my p3300, all I had to do was tap the "G" and it would give me an option to disconnect my internet connection (this is while using it on my call plan).
Now when I try to do that on the new phone, it only brings up the Notifications page
Press and hold the end call key for 3 to 4 seconds and a menu appers. press terminate data connection to disconnect.
That only locks the phone.
The phone is in stock form - not even installed any programs yet.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Go to 'All Settings' > 'Personal' > 'Buttons' > 'End Key'
Either change the setting to 'Always display the Quick List', or 'Terminate data connection'.
Many thanks
I actually had to break out the manual but that was no help at all.

Accidentally pressed 'Skip' during options...

I accidentally hit 'skip' and not 'enable' when asked whether I wanted to enable to option to call a person by placing my head to the phone while looking at the contact. Where can I find this option to enable it?
Open the App Drawer, tap on Settings, tap on Motion, ensure that Motion is turned on by sliding the toggle at the top so that it is green, and then put a check in the box next to "Direct Call".
Hope this helps.
Thanks!

Developer Mode

Don't forget about this simple little gem. ??
That's the first thing I open.
Sent from the TermiNOTEr 4!
incase people are wondering how to get developer options to show up
open your settings like the picture in the OP, tap "About device" scroll down to "build number" and tap it repeatedly until you see a toast message "developer options has been enabled". now when you back out of that screen to the previous, you'll see developer options.
while you're tapping on the build number, go ahead and tap on "android version" a few times also..

Could somebody screenshot the settings menu?

Please could somebody post screenshots or a video showing the settings menu from a recent stock A70 firmware?
I'm trying to navigate it with a broken screen and need to know exactly where in the list these things are so I can get there using the arrow keys on a keyboard.
I'm particularly interested in these parts:
Settings
Settings > Advanced Features > Link to Windows
Settings > Accessibility > TalkBack
Settings > Developer options > USB Debugging
Any help at all would be appreciated
SM-A705FN, latest BTU firmware, One UI 3.1
I've actually resolved this now, in case it helps anybody else -
Got Google Assistant to open Bixby.
Got Bixby to enable Link to Windows, which was already set up but disabled. Bixby would only work through a headset for some reason.
Plugged in a keyboard with an OTG cable.
Took screenshots with power + volume down while navigating by keyboard.
Viewed screenshots through "Link to Windows"/"Your Phone" to enable USB debugging and say yes to the remote screen control prompt.

[Guide] AOD activeclock (clocktransition) bug workaround on non-flagship phones

This guide is mainly for those who know what the "clocktransition" or "activeclock" bug is, where your AOD brightness drops significantly after a few seconds of AOD set to always on while you have the under-display FP reader on.
This workaround functions by turning AOD off and then on after the screen turns off, eliminating this bug from happening.
It's not perfect but gets the job done.
We use an app called "Tasker" from the Playstore (as well as "Tasker Settings")
Here's the guide:
Open Tasker Settings first just to make sure it's running
You can do this at any time, but make sure you remove Tasker from apps that can optimize battery usage (the app will constantly remind you about this anyway)
Open Tasker and go to the "Tasks" tab (dismiss any of the annoying reminders you get from Tasker)
* Add a new task (+ sign at the bottom) and give it a name. Any will do. I will name it "Aod off-on"
Then add an Action on the screen it takes you to (+ sign at the bottom)
In the "Select Action Category" pop up, search for "Wait" and select it. This "Wait" command is done so that there is a few seconds before the task can turn AOD off and on so you can fully appreciate the clocktransition animation. You can add any value you want here. I recommend between 3 to 7 seconds but it's up to you.
Save (back button)
Add a new action
In the "Select Action Category" pop up, search for "Custom Setting"
In the drop down menu under "Type", select "System" instead of "Global"
In "Name", type aod_mode
In "Value", type 0
Save (back button)
Add a new action
In the "Select Action Category" pop up, search for "Custom Setting"
In the drop down menu under "Type", select "System" instead of "Global"
In "Name", type aod_mode
In "Value", type 1
Save (back button)
You are done with your task, now go back and create a profile that will trigger it
Switch back to the "Profiles" tab and add a new profile (with +)
Select "Event" -> Search for "Display Off"-> Leave Normal Priority
Go back and it will request that you select a task, select the one you created
You should be done. Now, the task will activate everytime you turn the screen off.
Note: If this doesn't work for you, you'll probably have to edit the task and in both instances where you change the aod value to 1 and 0, you'll have to give it root permissions (there should be a checkbox when editing the task and the action to use root)
Enjoy, let me know if it works for you!
