Hi all -
Has anyone had any issue accessing the settings marked in the attached screenshot on their Lumia 920? Everytime I try to access any of the marked settings, the phone either crashes (hangs/becomes non-responsive, requiring a soft-reboot) or it kicks me back to the main settings menu after trying to load the particular setting (running dots on a blank screen for a few seconds).
Specific issues:
1. Accessories (Nokia accessories settings) - doesn't open the sub-settings menu; running dots on a blank screen for a few seconds, then kicks back out main system settings menu.
2. Audio (equalizer and Dolby Headphone) - doesn't open the sub-settings menu; running dots on a blank screen for a few seconds, reads "Loading", changes in 2 seconds to "Resuming" then kicks back out to the main system settings menu.
3. Display + Touch (adjust) - doesn't open the sub-settings menu; running dots on a blank screen for a few seconds, then kicks back out main system settings menu.
4. calls + sms (call waiting, forwarding, and sms) - goes to a blank screen with "Loading" for 2 seconds, then errors out: "Please try again later - Sorry, your network settings aren't available right now. Please try again." with an OK box. Click the OK box kicks back to the calls setting, except the screen reads: call waiting - Sorry, blah blah. Need to hit back to get back to main system settins menu.
5. feedback to Nokia (Nokia values your opinion) - hangs the phone, requires a soft-reboot to make phone operational again.
6. Nokia Account (Setup your Nokia account) - goes to a blank screen with "Gathering your options" for 2 seconds, then errors out: "Network problem - we couldn't complete that operation. Please try again later." with an OK box. Clicking the OK box kicks back out to the main system settings menu.
7. Extras + info - this was the same as Accessories (above). Received/downloaded/installed an updatte for "extras" from Nokia this morning - and it now loads with the Policies and Agreements as well as at the version number/enhancements, etc.
Any insight/help would be much appreciated. I have not attempted a full reset - it's a PITA to get everything set up on the phone again, and i'd rather not do it if there's an option not to.
Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

I'm not prepared to speak to the scenario's causing you problems, but I have not experienced it myself. I would like to ask about your PITA comment. Have you tried the backup scenario with Windows Phone? It works fairly well. Though it does not save game data or music, it does recognize all apps and settings, and reinstalls those apps once you supply any required passwords. To me, the biggest PITA is the lack of Screen saving. But with the apps installed for me, arranging the screen is not that bad.
I had the exact same issue and I reset the phone and started again - this time with no issues however I did not do the restore once I reset the phone just incase it copied the bug back again. Done everything from scratch and no issues.

Good point, I have not tried the back-up scenario, for the same reason as the previous poster mentioned - I was worried about the bug replicating itself on the restore, and then I'd be stuck with having to set up all the apps, etc. Which it sounds like I'll have to do anyway, it seems, since that's the next logical step.
Thanks for your comments/replies. Much appreciated.
Hello,
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy SIII.
I used to have no password protection on my phone, just a screen lock that had to be unlocked by swiping. However recently, I had to agree to enabling a password when installing an application (I forgot what application I installed). Now, the options 'no password', 'swipe', 'motion', 'face unlock' and 'face and voice' are "Disabled by administrator, encryption policy, or credential storage".
Is there a way to enable those options again? as mentioned, my phone is rooted.
I hate having to type a password or pin everytime I unlock my phone. Furthermore, when the screen is idle but the phone is unlocked, tapping the home button takes you out of the application so the power button has to be pressed. However this power button is also the lock button, so often this locks my phone when I tap it twice by accident or when I tap it when the screen is on but backlight is dimmed.
Please, I know many people would advise me to have a password on my phone, but I don't want it period. So don't try to convince me to leave it enabled.
Already many thanks for the help!
If the application that forced you is still there there is no solution.
You should look in Settings> Security> Device Administrators to see if the app is admin, and disable it.
Thank you for your reply.
However, I went into settings > security > device administrators: there was only one application ticked as a device administrator, being Samsung Kies. I unticked the box, and rebooted my device, but in settings > lock screen nothing has changed.
Furthermore, I guess Kies has to be an administrator to have it function properly?
Is there really no solution to this?
Hey
Which rom are you using?
And also try a factory format..that migght get this okay again...but it will DELETE ALL YOUR DATA LIKE APPS, CONTACTS, etc...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
i had the same problem but i installed some CA security certificates for WiFi hotspot on my university(credential storage) that requires more secure screen lock (password,PIN,gesture pattern)
here is the solution, fail your PIN/password/pattern on purpose enough times to see the "Forgot password"option.Then click on it and unlock your phone with your google account. afther that it will lead you to "Choose your screen lock style" page, and DO NOT click any of them since you will be only able to choose PIN/password/pattern, just click back button few times to exit from that screen, and that's it. you will now have screen unlock with swipe AND with whatever-asked-you-for-secure-lock working
So I have searched and searched... and this seems to be a very random "issue". Some people have it.. some do not.
Every time I get a new notification, the screen wakes up/comes up. Stays on for about 5 seconds... then goes back off. I have found only one thread on the issue here, in the T-Mobile section. But it did not really go any farther:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291453
I do not want this. I have an LED for this. How do I turn this off... or what do I need to do to make this not happen anymore? This is the only thing I do not like about the phone (and my friend has an S4 on Sprint and this doesnt happen to him). It is as if the phone things the S-Cover is on and is displaying the message for me through the "window".
Go into your messaging app and hit the menu button, then go into settings. There should be an option called "Wake Screen" or something along those lines. Uncheck it and you should be set. It may come pre-checked for T-Mobile and Verizon devices but not others, just a thought.

Sadly I have no option like that.
If you are rooted, you can use Xposed to show that option: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293956 (under applications, "Show screen on toggle"), then you can go to the messaging app and turn it off.
Using BarBum, love it, will upgrade. This is what's up: been using smart lock for a while, love it. Originally, when the conditions were met, when I turned on the screen, I had the lock icon in the center I could tap to enable the unlock screen (pattern in my case), and I would swipe to unlock. If I used the power button to turn it off, instead of tapping off, it would be at the unlock screen on powering back on (yes, the option is enabled).
Now, I see the swipe to unlock screen for a second, then bam, home screen, no chance (unless really quick) to tap the lock icon. Power button isn't locking anymore either (option is still set).
Is this a change on Google's part I can't change back from? I haven't updated my rom (yet) just play store / system updates (not ota).
Any ideas? Thanks!

i always turn off the v on the auto brightness cause i love my on the full bright
but every restart i make it turn back to default ?
I too don't like this behavior, particularly because if restarting the phone in poor light conditions the screen is automatically set to a very low brightness.
I'd like to know if this is a bug or it's so by design...
By design. All my mates did this. Don't like either but is what it is.
yup. an issue for me too
This is seriously a Huawei 'feature'? Holy.... :silly:
Possible solution:
Depending on your exact model and restrictions placed on it in your country/territory you should be able to do the following to stop this (VERY!) annoying issue:
1) Turn-off power-saving battery modes if you haven't already
2) Go into 'Settings' then: System -> Developer Options -> there will be an option called "Increase Readability Under Sunlight" -> Toggle this setting to "OFF"
3) Go back to main Settings screen, then "Display" and ensure that "Auto-Adjust" is OFF
This should stop the phone from constantly turning the automatic adjustment back on every time you restart.
NOTE: Some may find that they do not see a "Developer Options" menu within their System settings. If this is you then you MIGHT be able to activate this hidden menu by going into the System section then About Phone, then press/click the "Build Number" part of the screen 7 times in a row.
If this works for you it will pop up with a message such as "you are now an authorised developer"
If you get this kind of message then if you go back to your main System settings screen you should now see the previously hidden 'Developer Options' section
Hope this helps some of you, I had to do this on my new Mate 20 Pro
I really hoped that 146 update solved this problem, but even with all the above settings disabled, after reboot the auto brightness setting always stays ON...
Even more annoying is the dimming within certain apps. When you open Chrome for example, the display dims. And when you close Chrome the display gets brighter (to its original value) again. Haven't found a way to fix this yet. The problem occurs with autobrightness disabled as well as when the autobrightness is enabled. Also with Increase Readability Under Sunlight toggled off.
I'm looking for a fix that stops the dimming when opening certain apps, but let's me be able to keep the autobrightness function on.
I'm not sure if this works, I'm not even sure if the app is called power genie or power genius. But I saw this in a forum.
. non rooted solution will be: adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.powergenie
Try this as for me it is working perfect. Download setting database editor. Install it, after that go to setedit app and find hw_screen_auto_brightness_adj and delete line. Reboot and voila. No more dimming or increase in autobrightness.

Tried this a couple of times, off/on/off on my p30pro, but makes no difference at all, any other ideas for these phones?
I had the same annoying "issue" with my Mate20Pro.
I have an efficient way to solve this.
Just download MacroDroid app, and you can make a macro with these parameters: after turn on do: set brightness to X% and turn off auto adjust.

Thank you for introducing this very useful app
It'd be brilliant if you could provide the exact instruction to do the parameters ... I couldn't figure it out after trying for several times
Cheers
Just stop rebooting your phone. It doesn't need it. Worst case is that you have to enable it after Android updates.
