I accidentally hit the switch at the top of the developers options screen and switched it off. When I switched it back on, all the individual options switched off. Could someone here (on a verizon snapdragon of it matters) let me know which developer options are switched on by default, I can make sure I have restored my prior settings.
I'm on T-Mobile but the only one that is on is "Use legacy DHCP client". I'm not sure why though since I'd think we would want to use the latest.

Hi Guys,
I've recently updated my Rogers HOX to Android 4.1 via the OTA system update. during that process, I inadvertently left some developer options enabled which have caused them to be enabled even when all developer options are disabled (via the main toggle).
does anyone know how to "reset" the defaults so that when I leave the developer options off, it will keep all developer options disabled?
The two options in particular are:
Show touches
Pointer location
thanks,

The main toggle is only for allowing access to the dev options, it doesn't turn them all off. You would have to reenable access to them and then turn them off manually.
Yeah... I tried that. Even with those two options disabled, once I flick the master toggle off, the two settings turn on again.
Why not just leave the developer options on? It doesn't hurt anything

Yeah, that's what I've done for now. Its just a nitpicky thing for me and I'm new to android so I thought a change like this would be possible somehow.
In the Developer options menu, there's the setting for keeping the screen on when plugged, "Stay awake - Screen will never sleep while charging". Does this setting stick for anyone ? I check the box, back out of the settings menu, and look again and it's un-checked.
Are you connected to an exchange server? My servers security settings force that check off. Just a guess.
Nope

mine stays checked until I turn off the phone. When I turn it back on it's unchecked.

Im on the latest stock MD3 and it stays checked for me. Maybe its just your rom? Or It might sound stupid, but have you rebooted your phone, quirks sometimes happens and a reboot usually resolves it.
Ive had settings not stick before and usually running "fix permissions" solves the problem. Are any other settings not sticking?
Fixing permissions didn't work. I've had the S3 for two weeks and out of the box, this didn't stick. It's one of my automatically enable settings (been flashing ROMs for three years). Currently running bean's stock/rooted/odex version.

I have it enabled on my account but there's only one default option in settings > advanced calling. Anyone experienced something similar? I tried resetting and power off and on to no avail.
Do you have any if the Verizon bloat frozen? I had to unfreeze all apps to get it enabled, now I wish I hadn't, I can't get Google voice to work again!
Nope.
I have the same problem, I enabled it when I got my phone but now I cannot find an option to disable it. When I enter the 'Advanced Calling' menu it asks if I want to activate but I have already done so. It goes through its routine and tells me I have it enabled already but it wont give me an option to turn it off.

Are you on stock or custom rom and have you seen the second option (underneath Activate Advanced Calling) to enable/disable before?

I am on stock *OC3 with some of the verizon bloat frozen, with root. Could the frozen apps have something to do with it? No I do not have a second option underneath.
This is what I see when I click 'Activate' even though its already been activated. When I reboot, I see the same thing all over again.
I am not sure, try unfreezing all the Verizon apps and see if it works.
I am on Clean Rom Lite 1.1 but other users have not experienced the same problem so it may just be something on my line/account.

Hello everyone, do you guys have any idea why my developer option suddenly cant be turn on? Even the options under it like forcue GPU rendering and USB debugging mode can't be enabled. The switch has been disabled.
Please see screenshot attached.
Im not unlocked nor rooted. 100% stock.
Okay, i got my own problem solved. I just data cleared the [Settings] app under app manager. Then re-tapped build number multiple times again to re-show the developer option menu and bam! All options are now changeable again.
I don't know what happened but my theory is that it got messed up when I updated the phone. I initially enabled the developer option when I first got the phone yesterday. Upon arrival at my home, I updated to the latest build. After that the developer option was disabled.
From what can tell despite being enabled, I can no longer see developer options in settings. I'm assuming this happened after I rooted, because I had been in the setting before. I tried a few searches but they were all related to how to enable developer option.
You may need to re-enable the developer options again by clicking the "Build" number a bunch of time in the "about" section of settings, then developer options should re-appear in settings.

ok, yea that was the first thing i did when I was unable to locate it. I even searched it but nothing came up. What's odd is I kept going back, scrolling through thinking I was missing something...after maybe the 4th time I searched it again, despite it not working previously, but it showed up. So i am able to access it through searching, but I still don't see it in the settings list.
OK,
Might be a dumb question, but you do know that to get to "Developer" options you first need to go into "Settings", then "System", then drop down "Advanced", then scroll down and second from the bottom is "developer options".
If it's not there, then maybe go back into developer options using the search as you stated, then turn off developer options via the slide switch at the top, then re-enable it using the build taps and see if it then adds it back into settings.

wow, wtf. I used developer options already on this phone to enable usb debugging.
I had no issues finding it, I swear it was just in the list with the regular settings, the ones with the color icons next to them....but you're right, it was right where you said it was. Doesn't look familiar at all considering I've already accessed the setting a couple times before.
Thanks man, idk how long it would've taken me to figure that out.
