[Bug] Unable to enable developer mode without an internet connection
asked 2016-07-29 20:52:58 +0300
In an earlier post, I mentioned how I was not able to enable developer mode. I finally figured out that the problem occurs when I am not connected to the internet.
So then I checked the following:

This piece exists for every time I entered dev-mode. (When I looked it up, it seems this should only happen once. Even for this, dev-mode should have instructions that say so.) But now these packages are being removed every time I exit dev-mode and downloaded and installed every time I enter dev-mode.
What should I do?
I agree that it should be documented, but given what it actually does i think it is a fair limitation. Why do you need to disable developer mode?
attah ( 2016-07-29 21:29:35 +0300 )edit@attah Oh, so you're saying I could leave it on all the time? I... hadn't thought of that. Is that okay to do? It just seemed like something you would disable after use and keep disabled unless required. So, is this not a bug? All this should be detailed in the dev-mode section.
kat6 ( 2016-07-29 21:32:49 +0300 )editWhy not? i guess it could pose an ever so slight security risk, but with a good password it should be ok i would imagine. I had it activated on my J1 since Christmas 2013, no issues.
attah ( 2016-07-29 21:34:56 +0300 )edit@attah Okay, then could you just write an answer saying that this is normal behaviour, so I can accept it as an answer?
kat6 ( 2016-07-29 21:38:38 +0300 )edit@attah But there is this weird ticking sound from the phone when it is in developer-mode. Is this normal?
