[Q] security update notification when connected to WIFI

As i have been using only mobile data for days since my upgrade i find the message in the screenshot weird since i connected to WIFI. I tried searching to no avail.
What happens is when this message is displayed my WIFI disconnects.
Can anyone help me how to disable the message?
Btw, i'm using i9505 stock non-rooted 4.3
Cheers!

im sure its something to do with knox ask in that section

I have the exact same problem since upgrading to 4.3. Everytime it connects to wifi that silver shield icon with security information warning pops up, really annoying. I don't know how to fix this.

What do you mean? Do I have it install Knox first? Mine is just a Knox shortcut, I didn't install it.

Mine is not rooted. This app is only for rooted device.

Same problem here.
I searched for this security warning and it seems to happen when toggling wifi on/off or the phone tries to connect to a open network when in standby.
Some reports say a factory reset can fix this issue, but I did that after I flashed 4.3 BTU and I still get the warning. Another possibility is to clear data and force close Knox notifications, but this won't last.
Maybe the only way to get rid of this for good is to root and remove all Knox crap.
Although, this leaves a question. Why is my phone trying to connect on itself to open networks ? I have turned off location service.
This is very shady business practice from both Samsung and Google. After all , I own this damn phone, I didn't payed 600 Euro for a spy tool on behalf of Google.

Guys, heard anything or any new update from Samsung about this issue? The warning message is really really annoying.

Wi-fi security error message
I am also getting the same security warning when toggling Wi-Fi on/off or when roaming. I am not using Knox, at least I haven't installed the main app as yet. Phone stock S4 gt-19505. I haven't done a factory reset since upgrading to 4.3 as some have reported that the problem still persisted.
Does anyone have a fix?

Install exposed framework module then download Wanam xposed from the market and enable it in exposed framework. Then in Wanam under security check the fake official status. Then reboot. Twice. Should be gone.

Yea, it's weird. It worked fine for me until I flashed the mj7 firmware and it hasn't worked since (I've checked & rechecked the setting and rebooted it 20 times.
The sys module that is supposed to remove that doesn't work either. I've decided to just ignore it, I hardly ever reboot anyway

Refer to xda thread on xposed framework..after thats installed go ahead and install the module called Wanam Xposed. This actually has an option under Security Hacks to remove custom logo. Its the option called Fake System Status.

I was one of the people that exposed didn't work for. However I just went into the exposed app and it prompted me to install the frame work and then after it still had the logo. I ended up doing a hard restart shortly after and the custom logo is gone.

Correct, it just doesn't work for me or a lot of other posters after flashing to the new firmware (it worked fine for me with the older firmware).

My understanding is that you need to have an unlocked bootloader before using Triangle Away. Otherwise, you'll get a soft brick.

Did not know that. Only time I've ever used TA was on my unlocked galaxy S3. *shrug* I shall not be recommending this then.

I had it enabled before the update, then I had to disable the fake status, reboot, enable the fake status again, and after a reboot the lock was gone.

Here is the other thread with this issue:

It wouldn't work for me either but eventually after a bunch of uninstall/reinstalls of everything (framework, wanam) toggling, rebooting (hard and soft) it decided to stick.. I know exactly what youre talking about though cause it was a pita for me too
NeoMagus said:
There was a few of us in the main update thread this happened to.. wasn't because of safestrap for me but it seemed after reinstalling Adaway and doing some other /system stuff the icon and custom status came back and would not go away.. only thing I can suggest after uninstalling framework/wanam, reboot, reinstalling the framework, reboot, reinstall/toggle wanam, reboot, multiple times toggling the options in the app and rebooting (regular/ and soft reboot) it finally stuck for me dont know what it was that finally got it, but I feel your pain cause it pissed me off the past two days

Works for most people still with Wanam. Otherwise the "triangle away" app from the play store works as well.

Download is at the bottom of the link and it's a zip file. You can check in download mode whether reactivation lock is off or on.

Settings > security > reactivation lock > uncheck it. (for future reference)
Reactivation Lock is a security feature implemented that if you have on and you lose/have your phone stolen it is tied to your Samsung account. If someone tries to flash a new ROM/Reset it, they cannot as it will require your Samsung account info to get past the setup screen.

Off the top of my head it should be in there or around security - (not currently using my N3 as it's got a broken screen so using my N5). -

Do T-Mobile offer a different method of locating a device? Like Lookout or something? I know one of the US carriers do - it's possible the firmware has been adjusted to reflect this due to any deal the carrier may have.

EDIT: Post a pic of your device in download mode if you can also!
I wouldn't worry too much about the S T R A P number versions currently, I think best thing to do is wipe the device, reflash your stock and start again with the CF-AutoRoot that was posted in the thread. It's possible something just may have corupted on you somewhere along the line.

ok, here is what I did:
1: install firmware. it reboots...then shows the android ..( he turns blue), then restarts ....phone works fine.
2: install the cf-root from above link and it installs fine, but then on reboot it gets stuck in "Seanandroid enforcing (something like that) and just keeps rebooting like it wants to go into recovery, but it never does...just bootloops.
3: I read in CF forum to turn off..pull battery and try again...same thing.
Do I need to load a recovery file?..am I missing a step or doing it out of order perhaps?

It's possible that the cf file you are using isn't compatible with the N900T - to be 100% certain you'd have to go over to the T-Mobile Note 3 forum on here and have a look through their cf auto root thread to be sure one way or another. It's puzzled me especially since the method you're using seems correct.

I will do that, thank you...I just saw this online in another forum with others having the same problem:
"I upgraded to kitkat 4.4.2 Note 3 SM-900T and even after odin says pass, it is stuck in Boot loop (which I know how to get out of) and I get this message like everyone else;
Recovery Booting...
Recovery is not seandroid enforcing
Set warranty bit: recovery"
uh -oh....lol...interesting find.

Uh oh indeed. Chainfire may have fixed it since though, he's pretty quick as updating and fixing things as soon as he's made aware of changes.

Private Mode Failed to Enable

I rooted my Galaxy s5 g900t with towelroot and downloaded supersu, I accidently disabled knox through supersu and my private mode will not work. I did have xposed installer as well but i believe it is now uninstalled. I have also noticed that i cannot switch from dalvik runtime to art runtime anymore as well. Considering i am a new to rooting, i plunged in without creating a backup of my photos and videos , does anyone know of a way to re enable knox, or to retrieve private mode photos or videos in any other way or are they a lost cause? If someone can help me retrieve them, ill allow them to see the videos lol just kidding, but help is appreciated! A pre-thanks to anyone who can help!

There is no need to open multiple threads on the same subject. Why don't you continue with your first thread about this that already has replies?

Private mode worked fine for me on Kitkat on Dalvik and ART and it works the same on Lollipop, N910F.

Strange! I'm not able to activate private mode. Any hints what to do? Btw: my phone is not rooted.

This is such a big thing that Sammy wouldnt have released 5.0 for the Note4 is Private Mode wasnt working. Or any other o its core Apps for that matter. Most ppl are having no problems with Private Mode. I think theres something else from with ur's man.
I dont think its ART, or Sammy. And if ur not rooted, it cant be Xposed, hmmm... dunno mate

Problem occurred after downgrading from Lolliflop to KitKat obviously. Another factory reset solved the issue.
