[Q] USB Debugging option

Hi,
Got my S4 today and sadly realized there is no option for USB Debugging.No developers option in settings menu.
Or myabe I'm blind??
Any one can confirm?

Go to about phone, then tap build number a bunch of times. That is the standard way to enable the developer menu in 4.2.2.

It is there just go to settings > about and tap several times on build number to enable the developer settings...

[Q] Developer Options

The Developer Options settings are not showing up in my settings screen.
I have done the 'tapping' and if I try tapping again it says "No need, you are already a developer", but the menu item isn't there.
This has worked fine on my nexus 4, but wont work on my nexus 7.
Could this be because I am the second user on the 7??

yes, only the master/administrator user, the first account, will have access to advanced settings like dev settings.

Setting to reduce animation lag

There is a hidden setting in Android that allows the user to reduce the animation lag time. For example, if I open an app and the app window cascades opens 0.5 seconds, this setting can be reduced to 0.1 seconds where the cascade pretty much disappears. I've used this setting before but can't remember how to get back to it. Its not a system setting but a hidden one. Anyone know where/how to find it?

Settings>About
Tap continuously until you see, "You're now a developer".
Go back, a new " Developer options" button would be availavle just above About Phone, tap on it.
Navigate down to "Drawings" section and tweak as you please.

Thanks!

How to enable developer options on your smartwatch?.

Just like a smartphone, a connected Android watch also has developer options. These are indispensable for who wants to root his watch (yes, this may have a usefulness, but it is another debate). So here's the simple way to access this new menu.
In reality, you do not have to break your head too much. The technique is the same as on all current phones, since Google decided, it is not clear why to hide this menu (perhaps to avoid possible manipulation errors that could disturb the user experience).
01- you must first go into the setting menu of your watch. Under Android Wear, a double tap on the screen should show you a menu. Parameters is the first choice.
02- Then go to the About submenu and tap 7 times the version number. The operating system will then warn you that there are only two then one touch to activate the menu "Options for developers".
03- Once that is done. Return to settings and you will have, at the bottom, this famous menu.
04- Among the useful options you can find 'Leave enabled during charging', 'Bluetooth monitoring connection' and 'ADB debugging'. This option must be activated if you want to inject something into the watch, for example, to root a smartwatch Android Wear.
Note that after activating this new menu, it is possible that a white slider (a small circle) appears constantly under your finger. Do not worry, it's normal!.
You can disable it by going to the developer menu and disabling "Show Selected Items"
It is the only subtlety of the thing. For the rest, your watch will under no circumstances be modified by the addition of this new menu.
If you ever make a return to the default factory configuration, your developer menu will need to be re-enabled unless you use a custom Android Wear ROM.

I think this method is not working in all the version of the smartwatch.
In Android wear 2.0, there is a different method to enable developer mode.

How to enable developer options for second user?

I have enabled developer options on my main user by tapping build number 7 times but it doesn't work for other users on my device... Do you know any other way to enable developer options for other users on device?
