Here is how to get your Gear to appear in Android Device Manager (null_ rom only)
You'll need to have setup Google account on Gear and tick to show in menus via PlayStore on web(https://play.google.com/settings)
1. Open Google Settings
2. Select Android Device Manager
3. Uncheck 'Allow remote factory reset'
4. Go to main Settings menu, then select Apps > All > Google Play services
5. Select 'Clear Data' button. Note that this action doesn't remove personal data
6. Go back to Google Settings and select 'Allow remote factory reset'
7. Restart
You won't get location obviously, but the rest works
I have a strange issue with my own watch face which for some reason I also can reproduce with native app. Can someone please test the following for me:
1. Open Settings - > Scroll to Developer Options
2. ADB debugging - > Enable - > Scroll down - > Debug over Bluetooth - > Enable
3. Exist to watch face
4. Swipe up Debugging Card - > Debugging over Bluetooth is enabled. - > Scroll to left to see Open - > Press Open
On 5.1.1 or 6.0.1 Emulator this will open Settings.
For me I get Unfortunately, Settings has stopped.
Is this happening to you as well? I have factory restored the watch but this is no go.
Thanks for the feedback!
It happened just now on my original g watch on 6.0.1
After updating my Huawei Mate S to Android Marshmallow EMUI 4.0.1 (CRR-L09C432B361) I am having screen overlay issue. Sorry, I can't give screenshot. Gallery, facebook upload, Gmail etc. are not working properly. I am getting a message like this- "Screen overlay detected- To change this permission setting you first have to turn off the screen overlay from Settings > Apps". When I click on Settings tab, it takes me to a settings section named "Draw over other apps". When I click on the relevant app, I find some of their permissions denied, which I can't turn on. I did some googling and found some other related posts mostly indicating to disable some kind of screen filtering apps or clean master which I don't have. Tried resetting, then wiping cache data, didn't fix. Tried disabling developer options, didn't work. Can anyone help to solve this issue.
As you probably know by now & as I understand it, this is a security measure, which will trigger Marshmallow to pop-up 'Screen overlay detected...' warnings each time you try to change an app's permissions (i.e. for the apps that are affected by this 'drawing over other apps' feature).
There are 2 ways to get around this so you are allowed to freely change apps' permissions (do one or the other - whichever is more convenient for you):
1. Go to Settings > Apps > access 'Advanced' (near the bottom) > under 'Advanced' subsection, access 'Draw over other apps'. Here, individually change the settings of ALL the apps to 'No' (in other words, disable 'Permit drawing over other apps' for every app). Once done, you can freely change apps' permissions in Settings > Apps > [name of app] > 'Permissions' without the annoying 'Screen overlay detected...' warning popping-up every time. Once you have correctly changed the permissions (for every app that's not working properly), you should return to individually change each of the apps' settings to 'Yes' in the 'Draw over other apps' section (in other words, re-enable 'Permit drawing over other apps' for every app).
or (easier for me)
2. Reboot your phone into Safe Mode (click here if you need to know how). Once in Safe Mode, you can freely change apps' permissions in Settings > Apps > [name of app] > Permissions without the annoying 'Screen overlay detected...' warning popping-up every time. Once you have correctly changed the permissions (for every app that's not working properly), restart the phone as normal.
For both of the above & If you prefer, all changeable apps' permissions can also be easily done via Settings > Apps > access 'Advanced' (near the bottom) > access 'App permissions'.
If some apps are still not working as they should, check to see that the affected apps have 'Yes' below their name in the Apps > Advanced > 'Draw over other apps' section, AND they have ALL their permissions enabled under the Settings > Apps > [name of app] > 'Permissions' section.

Don't you need the phone to be rooted to do that?
I suspect most users would have an unrooted phone.

Will this also work on Nougat? Running resurrection remix 5.8 on Mi max Hydrogen. Running LMT Pie launcher prevents me from granting any permissions or sideloading any APKs. Is this specifically for the Mate S?
If it's safe to flash on nougat on the Mi Max, I could try it on Mi Max.
Trying to use Secure Tools to disable volume warning Samsung S5 running Marshmallow. I installed everything and ran adb command. No error, but when I search for Secure Tools it says Not Installed. Then I read this doesn't work on Marshmallow?
My phone is NOT rooted. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks - Frankie

I'm confused. What app are you referring to? "AutoTool's secure settings" or the app "Secure settings" or something else that I'm missing?
TASKER and AUTO TOOLS
I guess I forgot to mention that I'm user Tasker to do this... Thank you.
Be very specific what you are using and what you are trying.
Trying to disable high volume warning on Samsung S5
Using Tasker Auto Tools to run a command on my phone that will allow me to override the Volume High Warning on the Samsung S5 phone. It's supposed to enable WRITE SECURE SETTINGS with this command - and the command runs fine but it's not working for me. But when I go back to the app and look for Secure Settings, it's not there.
adb shell pm grant com.joaomgcd.autotools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Auto tools is a plugin to tasker.
The "adb shell pm grant com.joaomgcd.autotools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" is one of two steps required to give the type of system level OS access this tool needs. The first thing that should be done is to enable "allow modify system settings" for AutoTools.
From the AutoTools Secure Settings page:
To use this, AutoTools needs to be granted permission to change secure settings on your device
If you're on Android 6 or above click here to grant AutoTools the first Settings permission
Then follow these steps to grant AutoTools the Secure Settings permission:
Enable Developer Mode: Go to Android Settings -> About Phone and look for the Build Number option. Touch it multiple times until developer mode is enabled.
Enable USB Debugging: Go to Android Settings -> and look for the Developer Options option. In there, enable the USB debugging option.
Install ADB on your PC: Check here for a quick way to do it.
Connect device to PC: Connect your device to a PC and look on your phone. A prompt should show up asking you to allow your phone to be debugged by your PC. Accept this.
Grant permission: Open a command line on your PC and write
adb shell pm grant com.joaomgcd.autotools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Congratulations, AutoTools should now be able to use the "Secure Settings" action!

Once those things are done ( I typically reboot for no good reason ☺ ), then go to tasker, add an action in a task, then: plugin -> Auto tools -> secure settings (scroll down the list) you'll end up in a screen where you can configure the AutoTools secure settings action.
WOW! I think I did it.. I just hope I can do it again - this was my "test" phone. I think I was messed up by doing the "search" for secure settings because it said it wasn't installed.. Yet I had looked for the secure settings option and didn't find before - although I had already done all the steps. Somehow I got on to a screen that said the app (I forget the exact words) didn't have permission to change the settings, and to press NO if I wanted to allow the permissions - and I pressed no! I had already created the task to disable the warning - but it's been so long, I'm not sure how I did that - but the bottom line is I think it's working.. I had found several sites that said this wouldn't work with Marshmallow unless the phone was rooted, and my phones are not rooted.. so that makes me skeptical, but I did a reboot, and the warning didn't come back. Thanks a ton for your help.. Let's hope I can re-create on the phone that really needs it.
In case this is found by someone else, many of those "how to use secure settings" posts from lollipop and marshmallow predate the (awareness of the) approach used by AutoTools. People spent a lot of effort trying to force an unsupported, outdated app (the original secure settings) to work in a systemless root environment.
I'm sad to say this did NOT work on my test phone.. It looked like it did, but it didn't.
After Struggling for so long. I was finally able to remove the FRP lock on a recently updated tablet.
First and foremost get the tablet in the download mode / Odin Mode and flash the firmware I have attached. Attached all variants.
NOTE: I used Samsung Knox app v2.14
ufile . io/9zvxi (WILL EXPIRE AFTER 30 DAYS)
Once you have done that follow @Beut 's instruction
1- Get access to email via phone or computer because when setting Knox, it will send a PIN to your email to verify it.
2-After setting a wifi connection, no need to go further. Tap Add Network
3- On the pop up keyboard, hold the third key from the left with Speaker Icon. Select from the menu the last icon on the right: Setting.
4-Tap the back arrow on the <--Samsung Keyboard , you will see the <-- Onscreen Keyboard
5- Tap Google Voice Typing , tap Your Feed , check Feed
6- Tap No Thank at the new page, then Google Search will appear, type CH, then select Chrome when it pop up.
7- Search Samsung Knox app, then look for version 2.0.10. I choose the link from apKplz as other sites have too many pop ups.
8-Tap OK when Chrome asks for permission to download. Tap open when download is done.
9- A page will pop up asking for permission to install app from unknown source. Go to setting to check unknown source.
10- Install Knox then add your email, it will send a PIN to your email to verify.
11- Complete all the setting for Knox.
12- Go to my . samsungknox . com/en-US/#/login with your email and password. After that you will see the Tab A with serial number enrolled.
13- Click on it and select Wipe Data . Within few seconds, you will see your tablet goes to Wipe Data and Factory Reset Mode.
