How to unlock developer options on an Android Phone

Introduction

The Settings app on Android includes a screen called developer options that lets you configure system behaviors that help you profile and debug your app performance. For example, you can enable debugging over USB, capture a bug report, enable visual feedback for taps, flash window surfaces when they update, use the GPU for 2D graphics rendering, and more.

    • First, we need to find the Build Number.

    • Usually you can find it under About Phone > Build Number or System > About Phone > Build Number, but since it varies from device to device using the search function is usually the easiest way.

    • Now you just need to tap the Build number repeatedly, until you get a confirmation message saying "You are now a developer!". I already enabled developer options on my device, so I don’t need to do it again.

    • You might be prompted to enter your lock screen password, if you have one set up.

Conclusion

You are now a developer!

Ma batterie durée avant même maintenant ça dure plus

Je ne comprends pas très bien la question, mais normalement, le déverrouillage des options de développement ne devrait pas affecter la durée de vie de votre batterie.
