I have scoured the internet for answers on why my developer options won't turn on. I'm running a note 8.




Some reason images not wanting to show.

Has a exynos5 as a chip the deviceis a sm-n950f. Phone says developer mode is enabled, but never shows up.

It be nice to root my note 8 one day lol.

Thanks,
Tim

Hate to ask such an obvious question but, are you aware the developers option shows up at the bottom of the main settings page, just under "about phone"?

Failing that, if you download this app from the Play Store, it should hopefully give you access to developers options menu, seeing as you have already enabled it by clicking on the build number 7 times

I know where developer options should be, it's not there.

Also the app is telling me to turn it on
Did you tap on "Build Number" more then 7 times in about phone/software info.?

Keep on tapping it you'll see a toast message at bottom of screen counting down to 0 the it will say developers options enabled. Then back out of settings and reopen settings and scroll down to bottom. Might try rebooting the phone.

Worst case scenario is to do a BACKUP and factory reset. Not necessarily needed but who knows.
