How to enable USB debugging on Sony Xperia Z1

Question

I am unable to find USB debugging on the new Xperia Z1 handset. Various sources suggest that it is under "Settings > Applications > Developer > USB Debugging". However, there is no "Applications", "Developer" or anything remotely of use within the settings app.

    Device Info is as follows:     Model No. C6903     Android 4.2.2     Kernel 3.4.0-perf-gde8296d-02197-ga764ca1     Build No. 14.1.G.1.5331 

Is there a way to enable it, or am I missing something?

Answer 1

I found the cause. It's a 4.2 development that hides the USB debugger by default.

"Android 4.2 and higher, the Developer options screen is hidden by default. To make it available, go to Settings > About phone and tap Build number seven times. Return to the previous screen to find Developer options." - Found at: http://developer.android.com/tools/index.html

At least now it should appear in search results more easily!
