I clicked on build number 7 times and the phone indicates i am a developer, how do i turn it off? does it have ant negative effects?

Hi kentom,

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

From what I am aware, this can only be removed by performing a Factory Data Reset, however I can advise that this option will not harm the device, this section is purely for testing apps when developing them.

I hope this helps.

You can't disable it, unless you perform a settings reset, it won't affect your phone

@uliwooly Cool. Good to know.

You can,just go to settings-apps-all,scroll down to settings and clear data.

Just do it, do it, do it, lol

Thank you for the reply, i have realised applications are taking time to download and re not reflecting on status bar on their progress while downloading...my last question; if i restore to factory sectings; will i be able to restore the phone to android 4.4.4? and if i do backup, will it back up all applications?

If you only reset to factory settings,the firmware will be untouched. But if you backup,applications won't be backed up with their data.

Many thanks
