How to enable developer options on Galaxy S4
With the Samsung Galaxy S4, you will not find the developer options in the settings. These have to be activated with a trick. In this practical tip we will show you how this works.
Enable developer options on the Galaxy S4
As of Android 4.2, the developer options are deactivated by default and therefore cannot be found in the settings. With this trick you activate the developer options:
- First go to your android's settings.
- Click on the "Options" tab above.
- Now swipe up until you see the entry "About device" and tap on it.
- Now look for the entry "Build number".
- Tap the "build number" a total of seven times in succession to activate the developer options. After the third time, the message "You are still 4 steps to a developer away" appears. As soon as you have typed seven times, the message: "You are now a developer".
A Samsung Galaxy S4 with Android 4.3 was used for this practical tip. If your Galaxy S4 Air View does not work, we will show you here why it may be.
