I have enabled the developer options on my samsung galaxy S4. Now I am unable to disable it, by clearing the data in settings in the application manager.

In application manager, under settings, the CLEAR DATA option is disabled, and I'm unable to clear the data.

How can I disable developer mode?

  • I don't have an S4, but in my "Settings->Developer Options" menu there is a toggle switch at the top of the screen to turn it off. It doesn't remove it from the Settings menu, but it turns them all off. – Geobits Feb 25 '14 at 17:23

    No, since the question concerns a **developer setting**, and not some other random Android detail it is fine here. – Chris Stratton Feb 25 '14 at 17:30
  • Don't have a galaxy S4, but comparing on a recent nexus, perhaps you tried this for SettingsStorage (where it is greyed out) and not for Settings? Of course it may well just be a minor vendor bug. – Chris Stratton Feb 25 '14 at 17:43

  • go to your apps (menu -settings - apps, or menu - manage apps)
  • Under "All," scroll down until you find "Settings"
  • Tap on settings and then clear data/cache
  • This will NOT reset any settings, it will simply remove Developer options from the Settings menu

For your reference I found this on Google, it was the second search item.
