If you clear data for the settings app in settings-apps-all-scroll down to settings,you will not lose much,but if you reset to factory settings,you will lose internal memory.

I don't think you can - There is a toggle when you open Developer options but it won't remove the option from settings

Actually,settings-apps-all-settings,clear data should help.

Just tried that and no luck still the same on my phone running 4.3 - However every app I disabled got re-enabled so I won't be doing that again

Apologies to Alex it does work


As Alex said but when you get to all don't choose the Settings icon scroll down the list untill you see Settings then tap Clear data

Hi samrocks,

Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

With the information currently available to me, I can advise that the only way to hide the developer options is to perform a Factory Reset.

I hope this helps.
