I enabled developer options. Every time I exit out of the developer options page, everything resets to default. I'm trying to keep the USB debugging enabled, but it's just bugging out a lot.
I have the same problem

Generally, you can enable USB Debugging by selecting
Settings option -> Applications -> Development -> Check the box for USB Debugging to turn it on
But sometimes, the checkbox for 'USB Debugging' is unchecked and greyed (in my case). That's because the tab is currently using another USB setting scheme which disabled the USB Debugging.
There are 4 setting scheme under Setting option->Wireless and Network->USB setting:
Samsung Kies
Media Player
Mass Storage
Ask on connection
Normally the "Samsung Kies" is selected. Change it to "Ask on connection" and go back to Setting->Applications->Development->USB Debugging, you will find it is enabled and can be checked.
You're right. The pre-configured USB connection mode will override some detailed options.

I find this a pain to drill thru the menus to switch this on an off when needed. Has anyone found a widget that can control this from the home screen. I've looked and yet to find one. Since I have an AT&T SGT I have to frequently turn USB debugging on when using the Sideloading Wonder Machine app as AT&T locked out the option for sideloading apps normally. Again, it's a pain to drill thru the menus.
If you use ADW Ex (may work with ADW or another launcher that provides "Activity" or intent based shortcuts), you can create an icon that will take you directly to the page with Application options. To get to it in ADW Ex, choose add "Custom Shortcut", tap "Pick your activity", click "Activities", scroll down to "Settings", tap to expand, tap "Development(.DevelopmentSettings)" and that will directly bring up the page with the USB Debugging checkbox. I'm not sure if that particular activity was in ADW's list, but I know for certain it's in ADW Ex, as I have such an icon on one of my screens.

You're awesome! Works in a P1010 (wifi only) Tab as well, same options. Thanks!
Hello guys, I have quick questions. I have been having a lot of problems with Samsung Kies:
picture thumbnails not showing
taking forever to sync music
abruptly disconnects halfway
etc.
And i was reading around, realising that it could be due to the USB debugging mode being switched on. I want to switch it off but cant seem to find it anywhere in the settings menu. I know for previous phones you can do so via settings>applications>usb debuggig mode. However, on the s4, i dont even have the 'settings>applications' option... I only have 'settings>application manager
Help appreciated!

USB debug mode is off by default
You have to go to about phone and click on build prop 7 times to enable developer options

Really odd on this one. Settings > More > About Device and then tap the greyed out "build number" line 7 times. Then go back a screen and you'll see Developer Options as a choice in the "more" menu.

Thanks so much for your help guys!
When I turn developer options on it turns do not keep apps on. When I turn do not keep apps off and exit settings then open developer options again do not keep apps is turned on again. The only way I could turn it off was to turn developer options off. Anyone know how to keep developer options on but do not keep apps off? G935V here.
Anyone?

Sorry, not having this problem on the Verizon version. "Do not keep activities" stays off for me.
Unlike every other Android device that I've used, I get no result from tapping Build Number 7 (or more) times. Developer Options doesn't appear in the menu, there's no toast, nada.
Build NMF26X.T377VVRU1CRA1
7.1.1
Any ideas how else I could possibly turn on Developer Options?
I was signed into a non-admin "profile." After switching to default profile, the option appears in the Settings menu.
New question: How to designate admin to profiles, or is it limited to the first one with no configuration beyond that?

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?
