Hi,
I have the old Nexus 7 with stock 4.4.2, and I want to enable developer settings.
I have found many references to Settings -> About (Tablet) -> And click 7 times on build number - but that simply does not work. I have tried tapping it 1 million times and nothing happens. If I tap "Android Version 4.4.2" in the same menu, I get the whole spinning K, kitkat, easter-egg game etc.
What am I missing? How do I enable developer settings?
I had searched for a good hour, but of course I find the answer right after posting the question. Only the FIRST user (tablet owner) has access to developer settings. I was using another user account.

You must have thought "why?"
I will explain, many owners some Android Mini PC, including me with my mk808 running Android 4.2.2, has a nasty problem that simply does not have quick settings, or access the lock screen. That is, users can create through the settings but I can not switch them.
So if any developer can help with anything, I and all we would be grateful.
I read that Lollipop allows you to transfer the settings from one device to another. When I was seting up my Nexus 9 I was never given the option. I tried tapping it to my nexus 5. during the setup but the option never came up.
I can't see it as an app or in the settings. Does anyone know how to use it/where to find it on the Nexus 9?
Could it be that the functionality was only available in the Preview for Lollipop?
Another bit of functionality not available on my Nexus 9 is the ability to pin an application from the multitasking window. None of the tasks have the option.

I thought it was available!

Pinning is available, you need to enable it in security settings.
I got the transfer settings option on developer preview 2, but not on my Nexus 9.
The Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 does not come with multi-user, so I've been trying to set it up so my family can actually share the tablet without kid-adult conflicts. I'm running Android 5.1.1
As suggested in a number of forums, I've rooted the device and modified build.prop to include:
fw.show_multiuserui=1
fw.max_users=8
The two lines of code are in the build.prop file after rebooting the tablet and "pm get-max-users" in adb shell returns 8, so the two lines of code are in there. However, there is no multi-user icon either next to the settings on the lock screen or the swipe-down menu (next to settings icon, where I hoped it would be). So I cannot add or switch users.
I've tried manually adding users through the adb shell using "pm create-user [username]" with no luck...they may exist in the back-end somewhere, but as a tablet user I can't see them.
I've tried rebooting several times, removed screen lock, and eaten a bunch of chocolate but nothing seems to work.
Any help would be much appreciated!
same issue for S8-50 running 5.0.1. actually the profile section can be found in settings if search for 'profile' . from there the user can also be switched but that's about it - no ability to switch between users in lockscreen
I bought two tab3 10" 16GB for the kids for xmas, and they had a "Users" entry in the settings, but no user avatar in the quick settings.
It seemed pretty good, so I bought another of the 32 GB version for myself and my wife and that has neither. However, I was able to set up user accounts for us by searching for users in the settings menu, so it appears to be there. Unfortunately, it doesn't allow any sane way of switching users, since one has to be logged in as a user to do it... It cannot possibly be considered a good idea to do this, it has to be a bug...
I'd be very interested in a solution to this problem too.
any findings an that so far? How to "search for 'profile'" Am on tab 2 a8-50f, with mentioned changed in build.prop but no options in settings
It is actually as simple as kjekje suggests.
Open the settings tab. Instead of scrolling up and down and looking in every submenu for a "users" section like i did, just click the magnifying glass icon and search for "users". Seems like Lenovo have just hidden it from the menu.
Further broken in 6.0.1
I just upgraded the tablet to 6.0.1 yesterday, as it was pushed by the usual channels. Figured it couldn't make it any worse. It did
Now, if I search for users, I can switch to a restricted user, but I cannot switch back, because there's no option for it when I search for it in restricted mode.
So, I would still be very interested in a better solution to this problem? The only good solution is to be able to switch users when the screen is locked. Anybody found anything by further digging?
I don't know why on earth Lenovo is doing this to us. Perhaps they figure we will buy another tablet if there's no multiuser...? But it surely won't be a Lenovo, they ought to understand that.
On GlobeMUI, but not sure if applies only to this ROM or MIUI 9 or android 7. Whenever I go to the additional settings tab in wifi, I have to scroll down a lengthy list of available networks. Yes, poor UI design. How do I stop these networks from cluttering my wifi settings panel? Searched for wifi settings app, but none do what I need. Thanks.

I dont think that is possble. I mean that is the actual user interface of android. Unless someone revamps the android settings app, in a custom rom, Its impossible.

It may be the actual user interface of the original RN4x firmware, but I doubt its android (all devices). I have a Huawei Android 7 tab that has the advanced options as a logical separate button on the wifi tab. Its absurd to have it below a long list of network IDs you have to scroll down through.

I know what you mean, but that is just the ui, and is under the control of developer. You can ask a developer to maybe put that in a custom rom?
