and tap seven times on "Build Number"...
One of the first things I did after installing your Android Settings apk was to enable Developer Options as I'm usually interested to know what services are running in the background.

Before attempting to run your command, I enabled USB Debugging, bur for some reason the command window in the ADB platform tools does not see the Note. Whenever I run the command "adb devices", all I get back is "List of devices attached" followed by... nothing. When I try the same procedure with my tablet or with my Max, the device shows up in the command window.

In the status bar on the Note, it shows that it is in Debugging mode. It also shows that it is connected for usb file transfers. My laptop can also see the Note. It's just the command window in the platform tools which seems unable to see it.

When I attempted to perform the same procedures with an older tablet, it also was unable to be seen by the command window. However, with that tablet, a message showed up indicating that Windows was unable to find an appropriate driver. So I suspect that the same thing may be happening with the Note even though I don't get the same message.
