Galaxy S4: How to turn developer mode off

Re: How to turn developer mode off

I don't really like it because after that I have to re install all my stuff back, and it isn't just a little bit! :banghead:

But sometimes you have to do a factory reset.

I totally agree. I have done the factory reset and now the problem is fixed. I have been adding my apps back all day lol.

Yup, that's what I hate about a factory reset! Have to redo everything again! :banghead:

For lock screen you should go to settings>more>application manager and then click option button and click reset app preferences

Your screen will be unlocked

For Samsung Galaxy s4 mini there's a green button on top to turn on off

At least with 4.3 (don't know for earlier android versions) you can disable developer mode first turning it off with its slider in developer settings AND then dragging settings application from app launcher to top of desktop to easily access its information (same as settings > applications > all > settings app) and then clearing its cache and settings.

It will warn you will lose all accounts etc. But at least mine were intact and even every setting what I had previously set.

So no need to do factory reset etc.

I was searching a this information since Android 2.3 until today I accidentally got idea to try it by this way as I didn't mean to activate developer mode

I have tried this but when I go into the settings button on the all applications, clear data is greyed out. And clearing only the cache doesnt remove developer options. Do you have any idea how to activate the clear data button or any other way to remove developer options without hard resetting?

So i found this forum (http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s4/348534-re-hiding-developer-options.html) and others. Apperently once you unhide the developer optios it can't be hidden again unless you do a factory reset or a firmware update. Android 4.3 is coming soon

Re: How to turn developer mode off

You don't need a factory reset to hide the developer options. To hide the developer options, do this:
Settings > Apps > All > Settings > Clear data
Developer options should be hidden now unless you tap Build number 7 times again.
I have a Motorola Droid Mini in case you're wondering.

Go to your android settings.Find 'apps' option. Here all the apps are shown. click on All tab which show all apps( system and downloaded). Here find 'settings'. click on it and then click on clear data. It will give a warning message. Click on OK. that's it. Your developer mode will be gone from Settings.

I tried doing this but the clear data button is grayed out and I can't clear it. I have a galaxy note 3 running 4.4.2. Thanks.

I don't have the ON " in blue & white on top right of the screen on my Galaxy S4

How can I turn it off?

In order to hide the developer options, go to settings---manage applications-----tap on settings app----tap on clear data. That should do it. You're welcome

Open Settings on your device.
Go to Applications
Then swipe the screen from right to left till you see the list of ALL apps.
Find the Settings app and open it.
Now tap the Clear data button.
Now go back to Settings. Developer options should not be visible there any more.


Enjoy!

Clearing cache and data in the settings app worked on my Note 5...
