Turn on Developer Options on HTC One running 4.2.2 or above

32 Comments

This is an android thing to begin with, before you start complaining how htc have changed things.

Edit: it’s visible if you just have updated your One, but haven’t done an factory restore.  Or least it was at mine, but after a factory restore it was not visible.

This way work for all htc phones having 4.2 or above, from One X to One with 4.4.2

Developer options
Under Settings are now hidden, you enable it by going to Settings > About > Software information > More.. where you touch Build number 7 times. Which will give you a count down, and then say “you’re now a developer”. And Developer Options are back!

Ok, that’s all good. But, how do I disable it again? To hide it again.
Of course I’ve covered that as well. Read more HERE

    Its displaying ‘Now you are a developer’, how to go back to normal now..??

    • just turn off Developer options inside it, you have a ON/OFF there. But, it will still be visible under Settings. And will stay that way until you do a factory reset. It doesn’t do ANYTHING unless you tell it to..

    If i turn off animations in developer options but then turn off Developer, i take that it just voids turning off animations yeah. They are only disabled as long as D.O are switched on?

    • Yeah, if you turn OFF Developer Options: all changes you made inside there gets turned OFF. If you want to use options from inside Dev Options you need to have it ON

      • Jay Gabriel

        Well the question is how do you turn off the developer mode???

        • with the ON/OFF button inside Dev options. But, it will still be visible under Settings. And will stay that way until you do a factory reset. It doesn’t do ANYTHING unless you tell it to..
