AutoTools Error message

I receive the following notification error message... What does it mean?

"Can't change setting on this device: You cannot keep your settings in the secure settings."

Note that many of the custom settings (under Secure Settings) I've created do work.

I've actually received that on two different settings...

volume_voice_bt_a2dp
volume_system_bt_a2dp

Note that these all come from my device listing for the settings.

Also, the following does not seem to stop the pop-up dialog...

audio_safe_volume_state=0

I'll test it out and report back

So I'm jumping into this because I get the same error on a S7 Edge as well. But I am trying to change a different setting than scotts is. I am trying to toggle the LED indicators on/off. I can find the settings system settings listed as such:

led_indicator_charing=1
led_indicator_incoming_notification=1
led_indicator_low_battery=1
led_indicator_missed_event=1
led_indicator_voice_recording=1

Here is the exported description and the log from running it. I have tried changing this to integer, string and all the other options. Same error every time. As a note, I have tried several other setting like rotation and the prebuilt ones you have in the app and they all work (except for the 7.0 options). Even data toggling works.

After a day of use, I notice the setting works about 3/4 of the time I push volume up. That seems weird, as I would think this is on or off. Maybe the system resets this by itself?

This is with int set. It's really weird, as it will be effective for a period of time, then at night using my White Noise app, the message pops up again.

Thank you. So I tried that and still nothing.

Thank you, yes I tried all available options and I get the same response.

To add to this, there is an app out there that was designed for the S3 as a plugin to tasker that works. But that app also tries to make some other changes that are not applicable anymore. I have looked at setting both before and after running that app and the setting I am trying to change with your app is indeed one of the four that changes. Somewhere there must be something missing with some of the galaxy settings?

What else can I do to get more information to you?

 

So I tried a lot more settings and here are my findings. All of the secure and global settings I tried to change work great. I tried about 5 of each and had no issues getting them to work.

I also tried more than 5 system settings and I could only get one of them to work. The one that worked was accelerometer_rotation, all others gave the exact same error that was stated by the other user at the beginning of this thread. I tried call tones, noise reduction, screen off in pocket and even the display better percentage. I tried all of them as toggles, integer and string. No matter what, same error:

"Can't change setting on this device: You cannot keep your settings in the secure settings." It seems that there must be another level of permission that isn't granted to get into these settings?

 

Thank you. Please just let me know if there is anything else I can do. I was trying to figure out if a log would help while using the other plug in?

I tried setting led_indicator_missed_event variable today and get the same error on my att S 7 edge. Any update on the troubleshooting effort?

Hey @joaomgcd, I think I may have an idea what isn't working right on the Samsung devices with this app and the system settings. I was able to dump the permissions given to both your app and to the LED app that works on my phone and what I noticed is that AutoTools is not given the WRITE.SETTINGS permission. From what I have read, this is a permission that I can't give to your app with ADB, but must come from the install. I am attaching a file to this post that has the results of enabled permissions under install for both your app and the one that works. Maybe this will help you find a way for this to work. I noticed others posting about Samsung devices not working with system settings, but still working fine for the secure ones.
