Developer Options Does * NOT * Enable - T-Mobile LG G6 Questions & Answers

I have a H872 running on 11G. I am not able to enable developer options.
I've done the whole going into "About Phone" and tapping on build, no go.
I've rebooted and that didn't work.
A hard reset didn't work.
Trying in safe mode didn't work.
I've tried a fresh install via the 11G kdz and that didn't work.
I tried QuickShortcutMaker to try to get there and that didn't work.
I tried Nova Launcher's shortcuts option (suggested by someone a couple of years ago, in a post on the G5) and that didn't work.
I've run into a wall at this point and would welcome * any * suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Hmm, you're sure you tapped the "Build Number" in "Software info" in "About phone" a total of 7 times? Usually I'll just spam it to be safe until it shows that Developer Settings has been enabled as a toast. Developer Options should also just be in the "General" tab in settings about "About Phone".

@FrumpyElk you can try this:
*#546368#*872# in the dialer app. a "hidden menu" comes up and you can turn on usb debugging (SVC/LDB)
hope that helps!

No luck guys. The USB Debugging option is grayed out (when I go through the dialer). I can't even get to the About Phone screen anymore. I only see two things in the phone's settings - Wifi and Tethering. Nothing else. I can't even shortcut to it.

for some reason i had this too.. i couldnt select the usb debugging option it was greyed out. so i was trying a whole slew of things then i found myself back at the svc menu enabling port diag so i could mess with some boxes (i was murdering frp) and i thought "why not" and click on LDB and holy cow it wasnt greyed out. can not re-create dont want to but i think it was the port diag thing maybe by turning that on i could also then turn on the ldb thing? i dunno but i broke the hardest frp yet so im smiling.

I am facing similar issue. Cannot enable USB debugging or OEM Unlock for life of me.
Tried so many tutorials on youtube.
Even dialing *#546368#*872# in the dialer app. "A "hidden menu" comes up and you can turn on usb debugging (SVC/LDB)" . That menu is also disabled for me !
I am doing this in order to bypass FRP, I'm officially stuck.
Any insights or thoughts ?

[Q] CM 10. Missing Options

I have been using CM10 for about a week (last time i used CM was on my samsung europa) but having got it on my P880 i cant seem to find a few options . developer options and usb debugging. am i being a complete idiot and missing them are are they just not there.
CM10 doesn't seem as customizable as it was when i had it on my europa again am i missing the obvious or have some option been taken out ?
For developer options go into about phone in settings and tap about ten times on the build number (a counter will come up) and then you will have your developer options (USB debugging included) Google search helps a lot my dear friend

[Q] Allow Mock Locations

I can't seem to find this feature on my Moto X. I have the MLB app, and in a previous life I used to use mock locations on other phones to surpass the blackout restrictions. Yes yes.... naughty naughty, but now I live in the LA area, and want to watch my team that will never hit me as a blackout result.
The problem is, I get the error message that I used to get when I had mock locations enabled on my previous devices. I wanted to check this to see if this was the problem so I can disable it, but I can't find it anywhere in the settings menus.
Now I'm more curious as to what happened to it...
Any help would be much appreciated!

If you mean you can't find the option to enable mock locations, it's in developer options on the settings screen. As of Android 4.2, you must go into "about phone" and tap the build number 5 times to enable developer options.

No USB degging???

I seem to have lost the ability to check off USB debugging since upgrading my Gear... has this happened to anyone else? ... I see no mention of it here. Is there a fix for getting it back?

Yes it works!
Go to the settings menu, and scroll down to "About gear." Tap it.Scroll down, where you see "Software version". Tap it seven (7) times. After the third tap, you'll see a playful dialog that says you're four taps away from being a developer. (If only it were that simple, eh?) Keep on tapping, and *poof*, you've got the USB Debug option back.

USB Debugging

Ok, so I see these words a lot and I want to proceed in learning.
So can anyone tell me what this is and how do I "turn it on" or how do I access it in my phone. I can't find it anywhere. Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure exactly what it is but I can tell you how to turn it on.
Settings --> General Tab --> About device --> Tap the build number repeatedly and you will see the message "You are X steps away from becoming a developer." Just keep tapping and it will say that developer mode is enabled. Developer options will be at the bottom of the General tab. You'll see USB debugging in those options.

Is System UI Tuner Gone From Official 6.0 Release?

Just activated UI tuner myself. Have debugging on and keep trying to touch and hold the gear. It took me about for tries. It let me know that System UI Tuner was enabled.

Did you upgrade from a previous build, in which you had already enabled dev options? Maybe try disabling developer options and re-enabling developer options, then try the gear again? Android Wear companion app, for instance, has been known to require disabling-and-reenabling developer options before the app will reveal its own internal developer options (e.g., take wearable screenshot).
so...i got it working. had to disable developer options, do the gear long press thing, then re-enable developer options. what a pita that was. thanks DA6030 for the suggestion, which worked!
btw this was with a clean install of the factory image, not an upgrade. i was under the impression that you had to enable dev options first, which apparently is not the case
Its still there, same way to activate it.
