I know this sounds so stupid but I seem to be missing 'build number' in my System -> About. I'm completely bewildered as I've been TWRPing mobiles for years but this one defeats me. When I go to the top of the Setting dialogue there's a Search box, entering 'build number' into there give me 'no results found' . I'm on MIUI 12.0.2.0 and Android 9 PKQ1 190321.001
This is after a full reset.
Is this a permission thang or am I going crazy? It's just sooo weird..
TIA
Update. Tapping on MIUI Global 12.0.2.11 in the About Phone section gave me Developer options. Phew!

Where can find the Developer options menu on my new Nexus? Can't seem to find it...

Ever heard of google? I bet you $1000 you're going to find it if you just type "developer options nexus 4"...
Anyway, tap build number 7 times in 'about phone'.
Google? What? (A)
Thx...

In About Phone, tap the build number at the bottom of the screen 7 times.
Sent from my Nexus 4
The Developer Options settings are not showing up in my settings screen.
I have done the 'tapping' and if I try tapping again it says "No need, you are already a developer", but the menu item isn't there.
This has worked fine on my nexus 4, but wont work on my nexus 7.
Could this be because I am the second user on the 7??
yes, only the master/administrator user, the first account, will have access to advanced settings like dev settings.
I don't know if it has been noticed but I have developer options on my note 3. It doesn't show under list in settings but I don't know if it's relocated and I can't find it. If that's the fact excuse the post. I downloaded a app that asks for mock locations like a spoof location app and once I opened the app it opened up developer options and it was already on. Can someone tell me where it's located or is it just there always on until you use something that requires a check or unchecked.
"About Phone"
Tap the "Build Number" several times. It'll appear in the list after that.
Some people have been reporting washed out displays on new nexus phones (Nexus 6p and 5x) and this has happened to me. However, I found the solution. Follow the following steps.
1. Go to settings.
2. Tap about phone.
3. Tap build number 7 times (or until it says developer options are enabled).
4. Go to developer options.
5. Scroll down until you see "Show Surface Updates" and enable it.
6. You should see purple flashing every time something on the screen moves. Scroll up and down a couple of times and then disable "Show Surface Updates".
7. Your screen should be back to normal.
Unlike every other Android device that I've used, I get no result from tapping Build Number 7 (or more) times. Developer Options doesn't appear in the menu, there's no toast, nada.
Build NMF26X.T377VVRU1CRA1
7.1.1
Any ideas how else I could possibly turn on Developer Options?
I was signed into a non-admin "profile." After switching to default profile, the option appears in the Settings menu.
New question: How to designate admin to profiles, or is it limited to the first one with no configuration beyond that?
