Security Update - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General

Just got a Samsung security policy update pop up window on my phone. Said it will overwrite existing security software etc etc. I denied it as it may block my only possibility at root. Anyone else seeing this?? VZW Black GN4

Yeah, of course I wasn't going to accept that

Has anyone figured out a way to opt out of this permanently? I've been getting this popup every couple of days or so and even though it only takes a couple of seconds to decline/swipe away the notification, it's pretty annoying. So far I've disabled the Samsung Link Platform apps, the Push Service, and Samsung updates but the notification still seems to pop up.

I have been denying it too. Afraid of losing possibility of future root

I stopped getting the notifications. Don't know why...

I think you can turn it off under the Security section of the system menus. In there there's a section for security updates and turning off automatic updates.
Not sure if this will remove the notifications or not.

yeah I've been getting it every day or two too, I'm on att tho. can't untick the notification for it, but hey fun fact; if you ever wanted to see what every single permission in your phone was, look no further than this app, cause it wants them all -.-..

I never got the update. Is it possible I clicked on something that auto updates my phone without consent?

No keep getting the damn notice to click here to send security reports.
No matter how many times I click no or anything, it still pops up every day several times.
Screw you suckassrizon

Haven't gotten it. Hopefully never do

Got it but denied of course.

I just keep denying it even as it does not go away.

You're right Chuck_IV - Settings>Security>scroll down to Security Update policy>Security Policy Updates> Uncheck "Automatic Updates then go back and uncheck "Send Security Reports" id it's checked... thanks for the info, Chuck.

What do I do with this message?

Intermittently I keep getting a pop up message showing the following. I am not sure which application is causing this to occur. Is there a way to find out which is the rogue application?

Hello!
This is a bug that Samsung is aware of and is trying to solve. There isn't much to do, other than ignore it or completely reinstall. It pops up every time you turn on wifi and connect to a connection. Hopefully a bug fix will come with the next update.

This happened to me
When the notification comes up, pull down your notification tab, then where the notification appears, tap and hold on the notification (long tap). You will get a pop-up saying 'take me to the app' or similar , tap that and it will show it was Knox Notification. Once you get to the App, force close, and clear data. This will stop it recurring until samsung issue a fix.
hi ,
Here is another take what it could be >
from what i read in my local forums, if you long press on noticfication it takes you to KNOX notifications ( thats giving notice ? )
( further it is a speculated that , most apps use wifi etc warning appears,when you switch wifi on .?)t
presently.. do not have his issue at all ,so cannot confirm above .!
good luck
The popup message is not a bug. Its a security feature built in by KNOX which prevents you from messing around with root.
Follow instructions on this thread to disable it.

Ghost App requiring permissions unknown warnings

My dad and I both have AT&T S4s, and he is not tech savvy or anything. Basically uses his phone for the minimum. I take care of his phone tho, and when I knew the 4.3 update was available after trying it myself I updated his phone to MK2.
He's kept the same apps since he updated hasn't installed new ones yet ever since the update he gets this message randomly throughtiut the day.
It comes and it doesn't tell which app is causing the alert to trigger and when he clicks View Apps all it does it take you to the manage apps settings screen...
I have gone through the settings in his phone countless times, even gone as far as to cross reference the time of the alerts to App Ops to see if I could narrow it down... But what am I missing!!!?
I have never seen this before and I have been with android forever! Has anyone else noticed this since the 4.3 update. Or even before it? What do I do!!!

If anyone can advise a fix, that would be so appreciated. I am almost ready to try a full reset, but my dad doesn't want to lose his data so I'm trying to save that for my last resort..

Have you updated the Knox security? Mine said that and then updated the Knox security and took care of it.

i get that to.
Hey guys
How do you update Knox? I can't find an option in any of the settings screens and since there is no "app" to open that is Knox I don't know how to update it. He is still getting the message
Oddly enough it seems to be triggered every time he turns on his WiFi and connects to a network.

[Q] How to AVOID the Android 5.0 update on rooted phone?

I maintain several phones (2 Sprint GS4 and 2 Verizon GS4) for my parents, wife and myself. All of them have been rooted etc. Because updating to Android 5.0 would more than likely just confuse my parents who can barely understand it as is, I'd like to avoid taking the update on these phones. Is there a way to turn off the update so that no notifications come etc?
So far the only phone that has received a notification is my wife's phone, but there is a message that there is insufficient space for the update.

Long click on the notification hit App Info, then uncheck Show Notifications. That's the easiest way.

That seems easy enough, but since this is Google Play Services will I miss any other important notifications if I turn notifications off?

Well if you don't want to do that I just remembered you can simply change the build.prop. On the Sprint version you would change everything to OD2, system thinks you're on OD2, no notification. I don't know what the build numbers are on Verizon. There are other methods too such as FOTAkill.
I'm not saying I don't want to disable the notification as you suggested, I just want to know that I won't miss other important notifications besides the OTA.
I tried FOTAKill and it didn't work.
Changing the build.prop is a bit out of my league. I could probably figure it out...

I can't think of any other notifications Play Services gives... Play Store notifications are through the Play Store so those won't be effected. Like I said there are a bunch of ways to skin this cat.
The build.prop method is rather easy, navigate to /system/build.prop with a Root Browser and open up the text file. Near the top there will be lines with the build name and details, etc. (These lines will look different than mine on KitKat, but are just as easy to spot, I think there is a three letter one somewhere too that says NG2). Simply change them all to what the Lollipop build is called, save, sand reboot. When it checks for OTAs it will see you already have it.
Well that's easy enough. I'll give it a shot!

Light Flow update???

Hi,
I am wondering if any of you guys use Light Flow on the 6P and if you updated in the last day or so? I update it last night and a persistent notification is now in my notification bar and will not remove itself.
FYI the persistent notification thing is unselected in light flow (see attached).
Any ideas? Any of you experience the same thing???

I looked in the play store and there are many people complaining the new update is showing the persistent icon and no way to disable it.
Also you could go to settings and go to apps and try this:
settings>Apps>notifications>Block all
see if that resolves it

thanks for the reply, but if i block all notifications, i then get no notifications at all from light flow.
The developer is aware of the situation. Unfortunately it is a Marshmallow issue. He is working on a "legacy" app that will deal with the persistent notification. If you check the reviews in the play store he has replied to the recent complaints. On a side note it is situations like this that has taught me to not immediately update an important app without reading the reviews for a few days. Either that or have a titanium backup handy if the updated app is not playing nicely!

Do you mind sharing your backed up apk?

Here's Reactle's blog post on the persistent notification and other changes for Marshmallow: http://www.reactle.com/2015/10/changes-for-android-6-marshmallow.html
Basically, they were exploiting a flaw in the OS itself to gain control of the LED without a notification or root. That flaw has been fixed, and now without having that persistent notification LightFlow will crash.

WIFI Calling now available

This morning I received an ota that enables wifi calling. It's about time AT&T gave us this feature. Not sure what else was in the ota but I'm sure they patched the security holes that everyone has been talking about lately. There's no information available yet but as soon as I find it I'll post it. Screenshots show ota software version and wifi calling.

Thanks for letting me know I never would have noticed that since I use a 3rd party launcher I'll have to check it out [emoji41]
Edit: The app drawer is still not available on mine but that's ok I never use the stock launcher anyway

AT&T cloud backup for SMS/MMS with default messaging app. It was syncing all day on my BFs G5 until I turned it off after work. He said it kept killing his battery. (I'd hate to see what the data is on his line too thankfully he was home on Wifi the majority of the day) It completely borked MMS on my S7 edge when AT&T pushed the update, had to install Google messenger to get a picture to come through or be received. It probably failed 70-80% of the time. May want to keep an eye on that if you use the default messaging app.

Has anyone figured out if you can disable this entirely unnecessary and incredibly annoying persistent notification about "mobile data not enabled" now? I didn't want to update and now I'm forced to deal with this ****. No.
