Xperia M Dual does not have Developer Tools Option

Kaze11 — Thu, 31 Oct 2013 17:49:05 GMT

I recently bought Xperia M Dual, and it does not have Developer Tools option. Even a cheap smartphone have that option.

Is it just my mobile problem or there is no Developer Tools option in M Dual.? How to do USB debugging?

I'm new to android phones and even I wanted to find the Developer tool option for USB debugging.

As per the suggestion given by uliwooly after 2-3 clicks it pops a message "you are 4 steps away from being a developer".

Is it safe to unhide the developer tool option?

or is there any disadvantages?

Please reply ASAP.

There is no problem showing the developer options,in older software,it was visible all the time.The problem will be if you change parameters which you have no knowledge about.

Will it affect the warranty terms and conditions?

If yes, in what way?

What can i do with developers option?

This is exactly reason why Developer Option was hidden.

If you do not know what to do with those options, it is better not to unhide them.

BTW, if you want to hide them again go to Settings-Apps-All-Settings-Clear Data

I think you should be reading more about SDK, and this Forum is not dedicated to solving Developers issues.

Go to XDA-Developers for more information
