What’s Galaxy S6 developer options?

Just like other Android devices, Samsung Galaxy S6 developer options are mainly for developers. Developers can test their apps in Galaxy S6 (and Galaxy S6 edge)  under various simulated scenarios, for example, how the app performs  under low memory situation.

Galaxy S6 developer options also provide some useful features for advanced Android users.  For example, you may want to run some ADB commands on Galaxy S6, or take a lot of screenshots on Galaxy S6 (if you just take a few screenshots on Galaxy S6 directly, please follow this guide.), or control and animation speed, or record the Galaxy S6 screen.

Please note, Samsung Galaxy S6  developer options are identical to those of Galaxy S6 edge. So this guide also applies to Samsung Galaxy S6 edge developer options.

How to enable and access Galaxy S6 developer options?

Since Android Jelly Bean 4.2, the developer options have been hidden by default  in all Android phones. The main purpose of hiding developer options is to avoid the accidental usage of these options. Some options, especially those for app testing,  may adversely affect the performance of the phone.

So, when you get Samsung Galaxy S6  or S6 edge, the developer options are hidden.  You need enable (un-hide) it first before you can use Galaxy S6 developer options.

Here are the steps you can follow to enable and access Galaxy S6 developer options.

Step 1: Go to Settings—About device.

Step 2: Tap Build number 7 times.

After tapping build number two or more times, the notifications will be shown on the screen telling you the progress:

You are now X steps away from being a developer.

After tapping the build number 7 times, you will be notified you are a developer.

Now, Galaxy S6 developer options will be available in the Settings menu.

access_enable_galaxy_s6_developer_options_1_build_number access_enable_galaxy_s6_developer_options_2_steps_away_from_being_a_developer

Step 3:  Go to Settings — Developer options.

In the Settings menu, you can find the Developer options right above About device.

Tap Developer options.

Step 4: Enable Galaxy S6  Developer options.

In Developer options page, drag the switch to right to turn it on. The color should change to green as shown below.

Step 5: Use Galaxy S6 Developer options.

For example, you want to turn on USB debugging on Galaxy S6. You can tap USB debugging as shown below. This will enable USB debugging for Galaxy S6.

access_enable_galaxy_s6_developer_options_3_settings_developer_options access_enable_galaxy_s6_developer_options_4_usb_debugging

Full list of Galaxy S6 developer options

Please note, most of the Galaxy S6 developer options are for app developers or Android hackers.  Please do NOT  change the settings unless you know what you are doing.

          it is different from factory reset Galaxy S6.

    the Color Scheme setups they have are pretty cool.
    Go to Simulate Color Space in your developer options and can can your color scheme. Using various 3D Live wallpapers and Galaxy s6 Themes, Can see some really cool animations, effects, and colors. S6 Edge has best developer options setup of all android devices to date , Hopefully android builds new color codes from The Stimulated Color Space to use in Android Studio! Happy Developing all!

      Usually it is not necessary. Do you really face the RAM issues?

      Galaxy S6 is actually very aggressive in RAM management.

    mine is around 85% , , i always hit the smart manager to close down the apps , and i have shut off some back ground stuff as well , i maintain it well , so when i saw the Limit background processes i hit that , and seems to lower the RAM issues ,, and lower the battery usage as well . ,,i do not plan on making any apps, i just love exploring new things ,, ,,,now as a developer , would that use more DATA , on my LTE 4G ?

      You should NEVER clean ram with smartmanager. The usage reported includes cached memory. In short, clean memory only cause problems. You should reboot the phone and don’t use it to clean memory.

      If the phone works as expected, don’t mess it.

      For the data usage, it depends on sync settings and apps. Enabling developer options unlikely consumes more data.

    My RAM was also unnecessarily high. Always hovering around the 85% mark and sometimes as high as 92%. Enabling developer mode and limiting processes to 4 has brought the RAM down to 52%. Thats a massive drop. I still think it’s an issue that should be looked at in the next firmware update though.
    Thanks for the info guys

      Unless you can feel the phone is sluggish, you should not worry about the RAM usage.

      The memory “usage” reported includes cache memory, which are ready for re-use at any time. All un-used memory are wasted. Cached memory can make you phone more agile.

      Of course, occasionally some bugs or poor-written apps may ruin the beauty….

    Does turning on the developer mode affect the battery? Because since I turned it on, I’ve been having problems with my battery life and it also takes a lot longer to charge as well.

      it depends on what you turned on in developer options.

      If you didn’t change the settings under developer options, it should not affect your battery life.

      You should check the detailed battery usage.

        No I used a cable that I have used in the past with other Samsung Galaxy phones. I switched to the cable that came with the S6 and now I can see the files on the S6. Why would it make a difference what cable is used? Isn’t a USB cable a USB cable.

          probably you did not insert the cable tightly before.

          there are basically 2 types USB cables: one is for charging only and the other is for data and charging. There are some differences in the internal wiring. The “normal” USB cable is for data+charging.

          But your problem is NOT caused by this. USB cable with Samsung smartphones should be capable of data. Only some handphone shops may sell some cheap charging cables.

      First, do not change settings in developer options unless you know what you are doing. They will not solve any battery/ram problems.

      You can turn it off, then tap back (not home) button until you exit settings. You can also reboot the phone after closing settings.

            tried to clear cache and clear data for Settings, after that the developer options disappeared but if reenable the developer options the ‘dont keep activities’ is turned on automatically, which means as long as the developer options is there it is turned on. This only happen to my Galaxy s6. Not sure if any Galaxy s6 user has the same.

    Can I affect the volume playback level using this method? My phone sucks when it comes to playing it on portable Bluetooth Speakers, and I’ve tried a lot of apps, to no avail

      No, the developer options are not for solving such problems.

      If the output volume is too low, you can visit local Samsung service center. They can adjust the volume for you.

      Do NOT use apps to change volume by yourself. This may void your warranty and damage the phone.

    Hi. I have deleted by accident my albums in the gallery. I wanted to retrieve the photos so badly. I did everything as instructed and allowed USB debugging on my galaxy s6. However, when I try to connect it to a data recovery software on my computer, it says usb debug settings are not found. Please help me. I’m so desperate to retrieve my photos. huhu

      Did you install Samsung USB driver? You can install SmartSwitch (usb driver will be installed automatically with smartswitch).

      When you connect S6 to the PC, you should see something on the phone screen, and follow the instructions to enable usb debugging.

      Good luck with the recovery.

      You would have not counted on your luck if you have enabled backup in Photos apps. It is never too late to backup, backup and backup……

    Enabling the “Do not keep activities” option doesn’t seem to stick. As soon as I exit the options screen this option is disabled. Any thoughts? (Galaxy S6 Edge).
    The rest of the options seems to be persistent.

      it should only reset after a reboot (or clear data).

      anyway, do you really need this feature? Most of the developer options only makes your phone slower, not faster. These options are mainly for developers to test apps in some extreme conditions.

        had same problem that the ‘Don’t keep activities’ setting does not stick. Tried clear dat a and cache to make the ‘Developer options’ not showing. But after re-enabled the ‘Developer options’ (by tap multiple times on the build number), the ‘Don’t keep activities’ is still not stick. This is only observed on Galaxy s6 (Edge). For me I do need this setting for help app dev testing.

          In previous comments, you said the don’t keep activities option is always on, and you cannot turn it off. Now, do you get the opposite issue?

          Some developer options are not persistent. After a reboot (or a few reboots), some options will be reset.

          Anyway, if clear cache, clear data, and clear cache partition do not solve the issue, you probably have to reset the phone.

            I am a developer, therefore I need these options to stick. The ‘Do Not Keep Activities’ option is disabled by default and i can’t seem to be able to change that. Every time I tick that box and do anything else (click back, switch to the app that I am testing and so on) it gets cleared. It is the same device as @Lanny Ford has and I guess it is just broken on this specific device.

          • simon says

            January 4, 2016 at 2:03 pm

            it can be due to specific firmware. Normally, it is cleared only after a few reboots.

            anyway, you should get a Nexus device. There will be less problems on such features.

      Knox is mainly for enterprise users to create separate container. If you didn’t enabled it, you can forget it. For most users, it’s not necessary to use it.

      Another possible cause of disabled USB debugging is connected USB cables. You should try to check it when the phone is not connected to the PC.

      Sometimes, it can be caused by other p other or settings. In this case, you can reboot the phone to see whether you can enable it.

      Please note, if you root the phone or using non-official ROM, some options may also disappear or disabled.

      Not sure. Normally, the developer options are reset after a reboot.

      But anyway, you can set it, tap the home button (not back button) test your app, grab all logs. I guess it’s reset only after you open the developer options, not after leaving the screen.

      For normal users, do not keep activities should never be on.
