On the Kyocera DIGNO Keitai 4 and Kyocera DIGNO Keitai 3, some settings available to the phone are not accessible via the settings menu built for the phone. Additional settings are still supported but are only accessible in the stock android settings menu.
Setting Options
Auto rotate and auto brightness only work on the Keitai 3 since the Keitai 4 loses the infrared sensor and pedometer.
For information on how auto brightness works on the Keitai 3, see this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/dumbphones/comments/16fuvdk/some_tips_and_tricks_for_the_kyocera_902kc/
Through this menu you can also format an SD card as internal storage for apps. See more on the SD Cards page.

Accessing
This menu may be accessed in multiple ways as it is an app that is still on the device, just not accessible by normal means.
Shortcut Apps (Recommended)
The simplest way to access the menu is using an app to create a shortcut to it.
It is recommended to use the Activity Manager app, which can be installed through F-Droid. If you do not already have F-Droid installed, or do not know how to sideload apps, check this page on setting up ADB (Android Debug Bridge). Shortcuts are not supported on the Stock Launcher or InkOS.
If activity manager does not work on the 90XKC you may also use QuickShortcutMaker, which seems to work for some.
Accessing without ADB (Keitai 3 Only)
On the Keitai 3 in the notification menu there is a gear icon you can select to access the hidden settings menu. You should be able to access the notification menu by holding down the II Key, however this may not be the case on the Keitai 3.
According to this post, you may access the notifications menu by using the cursor to click on the status bar (hold down to enter drag mode), and then pull down the notifications panel (via the D-pad down key). There should be a gear icon that you can select with the cursor. (Any confirmation or screenshots would be helpful so please provide if you can!)
Oddly this gear icon is absent on the Keitai 4, as such this method will not work for it.
Accessing Directly Over ADB
You can open the settings menu directly by running in a terminal:
adb shell am start -a android.settings.SETTINGS
