Nexus 6P - cannot turn off Developer Options On any other device, I was able to go to Settings, scroll to Developers Options and toggle it On/Off. On Nexus 6P, this toggle does nothing. If I turn it off, next time I look at it, it shows as on even though I turned it off minute ago.

I am building Android app so I do need Developer Options.  I dont want to disable or hide it, I just want to be able to use the toggle to turn it on or off as I need.  Just as I did with many other android devices.

Anyone else noticed this?



I tried suggestions from this link http://visihow.com/Disable_the_Developer_Options_on_Nexus_6P but that did not resolve anything.

I would also like to note that until very recently, perhaps 3 months ago, I was able to disable Developer Options by simply going to Settings->Developer Options -> Turn toggle Off
I suspect this strange behaviour is caused by some setting that requires developer options to be enabled, but itself is not deactivated for instance USB debugging., transitions/animations etc.. (this has been observed to enable developer options in some LG builds typically when the battery saving feature disables animations at 15% )

As a workaround try this:


Go to developer options, turn off debugging,
Then disable the  developer options with the switch on top of the screen
(same as your screenshot)


The trick is to first deactivate setting that uses developer options then toggle it off
