AT&T Software started updating on its own? V42_1_1303_0_5 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

So I was hanging up on a call and noticed that in the "ongoing" notification, it said"device management - downloading software update, please do not" and had a little notification icon on the bar of 2 arrows facing opposite directions grey/blue one red. I tried to click the notification but got nothing, so I long press and looked at app info. It said AT&T software update Version v42_1_1303_5_1. I have tried searching this exact version number but nothing comes up on here or on google. I shut the phone off until further notice so I can see if this update is going to screw me in any way. Right now I am just rooted w/ TWRP recovery, but I don't want to do anything that locks this phone up. 32gb AT&T S4.
Thanks
EDIT: scratch that, i had written down the version number incorrectly, it is trying to download v42_1_1303_5_1 (not _0_5). Still, does this mess things up bad? trying to read that now.
Also, the watch on app out of nowhere is now putting its remote in the notification pull down at start up without me even touching the application. I like the app and use it from time to time but I havent touched it in a few days and now it is auto-starting on its own, strange.

Hey, I noticed the watch on app doing the same thing on mine. I didn't realize I got an update but my phone did do an unexpected reboot and watch on was running in my notification tray also.

It's just a theory, but it sounds like "Samsung Push" services might be doing some updating for you.

[Q] Help removing malware

I don't know what this came with but has anyone seen this random popup when opening app drawer or google voice - it'll also bring up Heroes of Dragon age from the play store randomly. How do I get rid of it? Thanks. Sorry, I don't know how to resize images.

they look more like ads... Do you remember which app you installed before they started appearing?
Try uninstalling that app... It may solve your issue...

that shouldn't be too hard..
If I am correct,the new apps are placed last in touchwiz... try going back in that order....
I will recommend making a list of apps using list my apps or similar app so that u can install the apps that were removed in the process here..
u can also check recently updated apps in my app section in Google play,that may also be doing that..
good luck!!

Is this a stage fright patch? Or a lollipop update? I rather stay on kitkat since lollipop was a mess. I use it as a wifi device and its never been connected to Boost.
Here's the end result
The update hangs quite a bit around 77%-90% (phase 1) then it goes into phase 2 and finishes the update.
strange I can't find info about this patch ..
are you seen something new after update?

me neither. if you can tell by the timestamps on my screenshots i was looking all over the place. it is snappier but that could be a placebo. also, i don't know about call quality or mobile data since i basically use it as an iPod.

I search in sharp and sprint webpages but there still show s4081 as last update.. for now I will not update my phone bcs I don't want to waste my chances to unlock bootloader or root if some one find a way...
Maybe???
I just got it too my phone won't install it cause me battery is to low but, I'm pretty sure its a patch to fix the multimedia message problems . too small of a file to be lollipop .or maybe it's a straight to SD patch idk probably one of the two..lol.
Just updated. Touch feels more responsive but it usually does after an update. Here's to hoping it doesn't crap out again.
Compared to the last build it has a new kernel. So far the only thing I've noticed, is that instagram doesn't auto play video with sound, (finally!) like it should. Before it would blast the speakers whether you tapped on the video to turn off/on sound.
It fixed my MMS problems.

Mini apps

Hi guys, does anyone else have an issue with the "Mini Apps" function? It's the one where you swipe over the virtual keys and minimizes the screen for one hand operation.
It was working fine when I first got the phone but now it doesn't work anymore even with the option turned on and after reboot.
Am I the only one or is this a bug?

I had issues too at first, but with lots of research, I finally found the solution. To to settings>Accessibility and make sure that Switch Access is turned off.

As far as I can tell, Switch Access doesn't do anything important, so you won't lose any other features.

OK Google is Haunting Me

I intentionally turn off OK Google detection so my phone is doing one less thing, but it still is working and the options are disabled. I've only recently started to notice this. Tried to enable and disable the options again... no joy.

This may be painfully obvious, and I'm not trying to sound sarcastic at all, but:
Have you tried saying OK Google to see if it's actually working? How about just removing the widget from your home screen and replacing it with one that isn't voice activated? Or perhaps both..

Yes, it does work when saying OK Google. Also, would removing it prevent the mechanism on the backend that's listening from working also? Or would the service still be running?
I know that when I removed it, there didn't seem to be any listening going on. I think it uses this process in Maps as well as a couple other GApps, so after removing it you can try it in there/disable it in there as well. If you have root, you can always freeze it with TB. I completely removed it from my phone, so I don't have it to play with to try to find these things out. That's always the first thing I do, so I know very little about tinkering with system apps without root.
You can enable OK Google in settings.
try disabling your google account in settings.

Copy/Paste/Clipboard Tool Long Press Issues After March Update

Hey Everyone. As of yesterday every time I touch inside a text box to type the tool for paste and clipboard pops up. This ends up covering responses from people in the messages app and is getting pretty annoying. I can't figure out why this has started happening. I've removed Gboard, cleared cache for every app I can think of and nothing helps. Wondering if anyone else is having this issue. Only things that have really changed since yesterday was the March security update and I tried using gesture control but switched back. See attached image for an example.

}
Edit: As a side note the long press to paste doesn't work and is replaced by a single tap which brings up paste or clipboard.
Edit 2: So I flashed back to the Feb security patch and did a factory reset. Issue was resolved at that point. Updated to the March security update and it's now back so loosing all my settings was for nothing.
Edit 3: My brother just did the March security patch and his does the same thing so it probably is not app related.
Edit 4: This issue appears to have been resolved with the June security patch. [emoji1360]

Unfortunately it happens in any app that I type in. Didn't have an issue until yesterday or at least that's when I started noticing it. If there isn't anything in the clipboard it only shows the tear drop but usually something is stored in the clipboard unless I clear it.
