Can't Access Development Mode - Calling On Back-Up!

My fellow Crackberry users, for what ever the reason, I can no longer access the "Development Mode" on my Passport. Note, I need to access it in order to delete a few apps that I believe are the cause of my battery draining. You see, I use to get a solid 24+ hours of use easily,...now only to have time when I need to charge around 7:pm after my phone is off the charger around 6:30am. I've search here,...as well as other possible internet links to no avail. I'm currently on Software Release 10.3.2.2836. Also,...I'm getting plenty of double characters on this version,...especially the "c" character,...and hear that 10.3.3. has solved that issue.

Also,...I have Sachesi,...but it won't recognize my device,...it's in "forever squircle" mode,....Black Link does recognize it,...although I'm due for a backup!

Any help that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Saved Round: When BB10 was initially released, in order to delete an app, one only needed to "long press",...and drag to the bottom of the screen. That said, how are you guys removing apps! Tia.

Edit; Note, I've tried the usuals,..like, WiFi On/Off,...USB On/Off, etc., as well as troubleshoot the error message in Chrome after clicking on the IP address: 254.269.0.1 . Everything just "times out"!

10.3.2.2836 had a flawed Runtime that prevented Android Apps from being uninstalled.... very old issue at this point.

Check BlackBerry World for an update....

As for using with a computer... that's a different issue. Do some searches on CrackBerry as there are a number of suggestions to try like.
Different USB Cables
Stop all firewall and antivirus protection
Uninstall all BlackBerry software, reboot and install the latest versions
Don't use USB3 ports
Try different PC

Dunt Dunt Dunt,...I'll definitely try a different USB cable,...as its the simplest to do.

Thk you,....keep the suggestions coming folks!

Finallly! I was finally able to access Development Mode. I had to 1) Turn on "WiFi",...connect to home WiFi source,...and 2)Within "BB10 / Playbook App Manger Options",...set the IP address based on the IP address at: "Device Hostnames/IPs: (BB10: Settings » About » Network » Wi-Fi or USB » IPv4)",...which was 192.168.1.6.
