Galaxy Note 20 Accessibility + Developer options keep turning off - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers

in the past 2 weeks, both my developer option and the accessibility options (apps under little man) keep turning to the off position and/or disappearing (see attached). i have to restart my phone to get them back (annoying!).
I'm guessing this has to do with a recent update...? i don't know, but i hate it! i haven't installed any new apps ....
to try to keep this from happening, I've turned off battery optimization and anything that puts my apps to sleep.... to no avail.
anyone else having this issue? help!

Try clearing the system cache on the boot menu.

Problem with lock screen

I have a problem with my screen. Even though i choose the scree after 15 or 30 sec to turn off it still stays on and the phone it's not locking alone!!Does anyone know why this is happening?
I mist say that i have done once hard reset but still the problem remains
Theres probably an app keeping it from shutting off, force close apps one by one in the app manager (settings -> applications -> manage applications) and see if it auto-locks.

[Q] [Solved] Screen is stuck off

Hi all
I've done something stupid to my phone.
Been fiddling with auto-brightness settings, and now the screen won't switch on.
Got CyanogenMod 7.1 stable for the HTC Desire HD, had it loaded for close to a month(been enjoying it).
I've rebooted, pulled battery, SD card, SIM, everything. On boot the display shows the HTC logo, and the CyanogenMod BootScreen, immediately after that, I see the screen off animation, where it would normally go to homescreen. I know the phone is still on, the notification light is flashing, and via USB I can get screenshots of my lockscreen(widgetlocker).
When I click the power button a few times, intervals of ~3 seconds, the screen flashes just quick enough to see my lockscreen, but it really is a split second flash.
I've got Juice Defender Beta, I think the latest, used it for a couple weeks. Today I wanted to test the auto brightness settings it "supports"(beta feature). I noticed no changes, so I skipped over to the custom display settings for cyanogenmod, under Settings/Cyanogen .../display/Auto Brightness.
I fiddled there, as I've so done before, couldn't find the right balance , so I left my phone for a bit, it clicked the screen off, now screen is 'stuck' off.
I understand that this may be Juice Defender's doing, but since I was fiddling with cyanogen settings too, I'm posting here and to JD support, just in case. There might be a conflict.
Anyone know how I would debug this through ADB? I would really like to disable auto-brightness, that would probably eliminate Cyanogen from causing this (as the settings I changed related to Auto-Bright).
I tried this, no luck.
Otherwise, how to reset Juice Defender settings via ADB, or through a USB screenview... thing?
I've got a NANDroid backup, but its a little dusty, I've done a lot of customisation and such since, I'd prefer to avoid using it.
This is, of course, urgent. I can't use my phone at all, so any help is greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Solved it. Booted into safe mode, disabled what I changed, sorted. Still no idea what caused it, but ja, I fixed it. Android has a safe mode? Good to know...

Strange Issue

I'm running Rocko 3.0 unlocked and have been having a couple issues lately.
First one is settings related. Every once in a while there are a couple settings that seems to change themselves. Auto rotate will turn off, stay awake when charging will turn on, and after a screen unlock or reboot some widgets will disappear from the home screen.
Second is apps that I install from the market will disappear from my device. When this happens they are not listed in "my apps" on the market or in the app drawer.
At this point I am at a total loss. I have no idea why it is happening or how to fix this. I also don't know if they are related. Does anyone have any insight into how to track something like this down?

[Q] [4.4.2] Screen does not turn off after a reboot! Not with power button either

This is the single most frustrating bug I have ever encountered, within a month on two different phones. I was using a Galaxy SII running Kitkat ROMs and this bug occurred on each ROM - and I've just bought a Lenovo S860 which was officially updated to kitkat yesterday and now this same darn thing just happened again!
The bug: After a normal day or two's usage a simple reboot results in the screen/display staying on permanently. It does not respond to the Power button at all - although the power button works perfectly if I need to reboot or power off the phone.
Each time the only solution I can think of is to factory reset which is so frustrating. I don't know why this bug has happened to me on two different devices now; the common features I can think of are that on each phone I had Developer options enabled (but 'keep screen on during charging' unchecked) - I use Dynamic Notifications as a primary lockscreen. I keep display timeout at 1 minute. Other than that I use a few very standard News/Productivity apps none of which have anything to do with keeping the display on and rendering the power button useless.
Lenovo S860 that I'm currently on is not rooted and is full stock so I haven't tinkered around with the system at all either.
I would appreciate any help, any hint or guidance or just plain anything. I'm literally afraid to reboot my phone now, I can't keep setting up the phone after a reset every two or three days.

Freezing, reboot and get stuck, sticky screen loading on Qualcomm RN4

For a week or two now,* I have been having some funny things happen with my Redmi Note 4 (Qualcomm, Global) phone.
Before that it had gotten water in it and basically shut down entirely, but they fixed it and got it up and running. When I picked it up they showed me watermarks on the screen, saying that the screen had frozen only once but that it may just be lagging.
Since then I have had a few symptoms of an issues, perhaps hardware issues, but potentially something that I can fix without paying more for parts.
Here are the things that happen:
- Music stops suddenly (screen on or off) and the music app has to be reopened (DoubleTwist, Miuiu's Music app, etc); Somes while in Doubletwist, if I click to visit home screen (square button) than the music stops. (this is the first issue that I noticed).
- 1-2 seconds of white screen before already-open apps appear after selected; Sometimes problems with apps loading or screen goes black when loading
- When closing apps or returning to home screen, it looks like the desktop(?) background comes up and then a second after is is re-populated with icons as if system is refreshing the home screen
- Once any of these issues begins, it usually worsens and the cell phone gets slower, behaving more and more strangely until not even useful to me; Reboot clears it right up for an hour or two or whenever this wierd stuff starts to happen again
-It seems like if I make a point of using the phone modestly, slowly, I can avoid these issues from starting up
- Sometimes reboot rometimes hangs on initial black loading screen
- Sometimes if I hit the power button to turn off the display, I can not turn it back on with that button (neither does the battery-dead orange light flash), so I have to reboot.
-When I turn the phone screen off while it has been working fine, I come back later, turn on the screen to find that it is now on the boot logo screen and it stays until I hard-reset the phone.
So, these are potential issues I have guessed at:
* Screen damaged? So far, other than watermarking at the top and some backlight bleed, sensistivity is perfect on the phone, and symptoms involving screen always seem to be triggered more by apps or pressing buttons.
* Apps or Android corrupted/internal memory damaged? I backed up via Settings and did a Hard/Factory Reset, then restored from backup. I still have the problems.
* RAM partially damaged? I test RAM with two apps and none of them showed issues. Namely my available RAM and used RAM reported always add up to the 4GB my phone has.
*Other Hardware Components failing? I used 3 apps to check all of the hardware devices and sensors that I could think of. Vibration is the only thing that does not work, and honestly, I don't care much about vibration.
Today I have suspected that settings may being at fault, and/or battery savers turning off my audio. Battery savers often identify my music apps as using "excessive amounts of power," perhaps because the speakers at involved, but it does make me think... I removed any battery-related and security apps, then turned off all battery saver options in settings earlier today. In 2 hours of music listening after that, I have not had any shutdowns, but I am not convinced I have solved the problems. In the weeks after this, the issue is back and the audio issue is always followed by the phone operating very sluggishly.
I have done a factory reset and restore, and the issue persists. Do you think there's any point in trying to do a clean reflashing of MIUI? Could it be a software issue or definitely hardware?
What advice can you give me?
Thank you for reading.
You can try booting in safe mode and then check if the problems still persist. Other than that, I suggest you to get advice from senior members of the forum.

Miui 9 does not have safe mode to boot in.
