Help Unable to access Developer Options Taping Build Number

Sounds to me you guys need to get some stock ROMs and flash the phones in order to rid of the dreaded FRP lock on them.
Only then will it work, in 7.1.1 they made it so "Build Number" is not even an option.
It was only until I was able to find the stock ROM I was able to even see it.
With flagship company phones it's much easier.I had a Treswave TW801 and I had a hell of a time. Good luck lmao.

-News,
So I dug around with an app called "Shortcutmaker" or similarly named and discovered it's definately what @Jfalls63 had said, so my previous statement is the only way unless you can get the email and pass for the "Owner", in other words... Google sucks.

-Good morning, I have NEWS everyone,
There is an app you can download, on a PC ofcourse, that will bypass this issue, simply called "Developers options" it will be the same as if you could actually access it.

Just put the install.apk on an SD card, install it, and open it.
Cheers.

What do you think about 3-party APK provider?

Well if you are not in favour of IP violation then "modification of APK files" is going to be problematic, as I would guess it's unlikely that many game developers will give their consent to this. And if they don't that's a violation of copyright law, pure and simple.

And that's before we get into the question of "what if the game isn't free?": if your download provider modifies licensing or in-app payment code to deprive the developer of income then that's illegal for certain - there is no controversy there, it's simply a fact.

And yes, modifications don't have to be limited to harmless ones, so there is a malware/privacy risk here. As with anything you install, it's a matter of how much you can trust the source.

Bottom line: the developer holds the copyright. If they agree to an alternative distribution, and to any of the modifications you want, then that's cool. If they don't then it's not.

Apk

No, downloading apks is not illegal. There is no "to some extent".

There are sites that host illegal downloads, where they do not have the developers' agreement to distribute the apps (required even for free apps) or where they are distributing cracked versions of paid apps. But to say that downloading apks is in any way illegal because these sites exist is like saying that it's somewhat illegal to buy a watch because there are people who sell stolen goods.

Android for teenagers with decent parental controls?

there really is no perfect phone to use parental controls. really you just need to find the specs and price that suits you and your wallet.

it's really the apps you use that will help out.

here are some articles for you to read:

so it looks like family link is the app to get.

Help Broken OnePlus 3T Screen, Need to Access Files.

If the phone was pattern or PIN locked, it's basically impossible to access personal data on it by USB means, as that's for security, there are no backdoors.

Think your only chance really is to have the phone screen repaired, so it can be unlocked. How much to replace a Oneplus 3 screen, might depend on where you are, and what sort of repair facilities are available to you.
