Notification for galaxy apps update? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer

Why do I keep getting notifications for updates to 36 galaxy apps but when I check there's no updates available?
Anyone else get this?

Same here.

I wonder the same thing. Very annoying and im dumb enough to keep checking!

What's your carrier? I'm on T-mobile S7 edge and I don't have any such notifications.
Try re-starting your device.

I have the same. The number of updates has progressively grown.

T-Mobile s7e. Seems like more people saying the same than not. Weird.

Really weird!
The other option is to go into the settings on galaxy app and switch off the notification messages.
While you are there, do check if you have the latest version. Mine says 4.1.01-14

It's the same version. So I checked for an update, but not because of a notification, and there was one for AOD.

The s7 edge has alot of preloaded apps that are not fully installed. First i had a notification that said 32 apps need update but all my Apps where. So i installed 4 preloaded apps and it went down to 28 apps need update the next time i got the notification.

I figured mine out. After going into Galaxy Apps I manually updated then could see I had several preloaded apps that needed updating along with language packs and Kids Mode items.

Same here. Hopefully whatever officer of Samsung made this decision dies painfully and they revert to their old less douchy tactics. Otherwise my money is going elsewhere.
looks like there is no root, without root Light flow doesn't work.

No worries, that can be turned off. Go to settings, security, and chnage some setting from "high" or "tough" or "advanced" (I forget what they called it) to "normal." Once I turned it on "normal" I didn't see that message pop up anymore.
I still need root access, though...
I got the message with security set to normal. The developer has since updated the app and the message no longer appears.

Gear VR Service used 30% battery since last charge?

Is this normal? How can I disable this since I never plan on using VR?

If you press the menu (upper right) and uninstall updates, you might be able to disable it.

Don't see a way to uninstall updates for it. I just forced closed it and my battery seems to be hanging onto each % longer. Will be interesting to see with a full charge tomorrow.
Setup wizard is doing the same thing, what the hell.

Well that may be, but since I forced them shut I'm still at 97% battery today after almost 2 hours. Seems like it helped battery life so far. Still wish I could disable both of them.
Two words... 'Package Disabler'.
Ok, just installed that and disabled VR entirely. We'll see how that goes.
Any update?

Wtf, got my S7 Edge some days ago, i have high battery drain even when screen is off, just checked this out and i got 12% without having any vr at all. I went greenifying it
The best mobile hijacker to get robbed by today!
If you do not want to use the Gear VR and you own a Samsung SMART phone, Samsung will force you to install it. If you try to refuse, the install app will interrupt any other app running every couple of minutes. This results in constant interruptions and a fast drain of the battery. Search for Gear VR on the web and you will see this has been an ongoing issue for more than a year and Samsung is doing nothing.
I finally gave in and installed the software in order to get my phone back. All I got was access to their online store where I can buy their VR apps.
I paid $600 for the phone only to have it hijacked by Samsung and turned into their personal kiosk.
This feels so dishonest.

New AOD update.

Just woke up to my AOD being different. I used the large hour with the blue minute and that option is now gone. Is this the version from the note 7?

It is similar to that of the Note 7 but you won't get all the notifications yet. I'm really waiting for the Note 7 features to be on the S7 Edge since this is their only flagship now along with the S7.
It now shows music track info! Works with Google Music, others have said Spotify as well. This is a great unexpected update.

Yeah this update is from the note 7.... But samsung won't just give us all.. There must be something less..!! No notification for third party apps... Why is that Sammy :3

I woke up Friday morning to it automatically updated. I believe you can go to the Samsung app store and manually update it there

Ya hopefully the quick notifications access like note 7 comes through i miss that. This is a great update though
Can anyone post the apk for this. I have been trying to download the update and cant wont have wifi for the next few weeks either.
It doesn't show any of the notifications, I've even cleared cache and Badge Provider cache, still can't get my notifications to show, uninstalled the update, everything works fine.

Don't worry it's still moving but pixel by pixel it is not noticeable for us.

Not pixel by pixel, but sometimes it is on top of the display, sometimes on the bottom, sometimes in the middle. Position changes every day I think.

Yes, that's new too, it shows what song is playing on whichever player U have. But notifications from apps like facebook, whatsapp etc. are still not available. I hope they will bring that feature with 7.0
Sadly, the update doesn’t enable third-party app notifications

Looks like Samsung has disabled the option in Oreo to customize SMS notifications for individual contacts. I'm not too happy with this choice on their part.
Tapatalked from my Sprint GN8
Some nice improvements, but most of them are Samsung's not Google's. My favorite Oreo improvement is the shortcut so that I can go directly to "my apps" in the Play Store.
Other than that, I haven't noticed many differences. Overall, I'd say Nougat should have been 6.2, and Oreo is more like Android version 6.4 rather than 8. If there are significant changes under the hood, maybe that justifies the major number increase. But as for what's exposed to the user, the changes have been very incremental.
Like it on my Note 8, have had 8.1 on my Pixel for some time. Seems snappier than I anticipated with "just installed". BTW, I'm in Northern Virginia and got it this am by checking for updates.
Downloaded and installed in Charlotte, NC. I thought Oreo had a setting to turn on the screen when a notification arrived. Don't see it however. Really bummed that some apps I use that draw over the lockscreen no longer work but I knew that going in.
Got it in Pennsylvania, now my hotspot hack doesn't work
