New unwanted lockscreen? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Note 4 has a new lockscreen that suddenly appeared. Can't remember installing this and I want it gone asap.
Can anybody identify it and tell me how to get rid of it?
I have android 6.0.1 with May sec patch

And here's another screenshot.

I got this stupid thing also.

It's peel smart remote. If you're rooted uninstall it. If not disable it.

My dad had the same thing. As soon as we disabled peel remote it was gone.

OMG Thanks! For those not rooted another option, try this.
Deinstall peel, it will say only removing all updates, which is ok. Do that. Then go in playstore and while it's in the list again to update : change the option to not auto update this app. So, select peel from your update list, by marking it and up right in the settings make the change. Each time there are updates you will have to say to skip it, but this nagging unwanted crap is gone and back to what it was. A useful remote tool.
Hope this helps.
Very despicable practice of this firm. They charge you a dollar a month to get rid of advertising. Sad.

Thanks - in the last few days I have been trying to uninstall Apps to see which did this nasty thing!
It's too bad as at first The remote app (Was it just Smart Remote) was nice but it got out of hand!

Seeing this too. A little wary on whether or not I want to install it.

Looks like we're in the clear.

Even so, I can't say I'm happy about Facebook forcing me to update with what ever permissions it chooses.
I can see me uninstalling it very soon...
My coworker had the same thing, only her download froze. Couldn't tell what was going on, so we killed about every app on the phone trying to get it to stop (plus rebooting, uninstalling FB, etc). Finally figured out it was actually doing it thru Downloads, not the Play Store.
That's the straw that broke the FB camel's back for me... uninstalled the app and went back to using the mobile website. I like it better anyways.

need help sor sview original and lollipop

hello everyone. I need proof made by someone who has a sview cover original and Lollipop (any leak) ... Basically I shows the screen of the cover completely black and you see only the top bar of the notifications. So lacking controls and background sview. If I disconnect the cover and put it back, but I work only until you reboot and the problem reoccurs. some say that it is the fault of lollipop, some other of the cover that seems to repeat their original and I paid and salt in the package! it is as if he lost the memory on restart and did not recognize it anymore. who makes me this test?

Is there a list of bloatware/apps safe to disable?

I searched the forums but I can't find any thread which compiles some sort of list for the Note 4 so far. Can someone point me to the right thread?

Here you have an "automatic" debloater:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/themes-apps/cwm-bloatware-removal-script-t3067501
The forum is full of those ..
Though freezing/stopping apps first .. then if so you wish uninstall them is the safest way .. I don't recommend auto debloaters at all for the simple facts that devices/Roms differ and devs can't possibly test all of them ..
Key is : stop what you don't use "now" delete what you are sure that you'll never use ..
For privacy reasons all pre installed apps that can be downloaded "should be deleted and installed freshly " especially after rooting and using privacy apps that cloak such as xprivacy ..
Apps that are pre-installed would know everything about your device even if you block their access & permissions later on ..

So basically whenever I turn my phone on I get this notification, I tried to ignore it for as long as I could, but seeing this notification every time I turn on my screen is driving me nuts, any help would be highly appreciated.

Do you have any 3rd party launchers/widgets installed ? You may want to look into that list of apps first. I would also uninstall lesser known apps first, one by one, and check which one caused the issue
I actually did that, no widgets, no launcher just the page you see in the screen shots, no lesser known apps, nothing fixes it.

I'm not sure if this would work, but try disabling Nearby Device Scanning from settings and see if this fixes the issue.
I used to get that when the profile sharing thing was enabled, can't remember what it is called exactly but it was a Samsung thing that lets you share your gallery to family members etc. I debloated my phone though so can't remember the name exactly.
I don't get the error when I'm connected to WiFi only get the error when I'm not connected to any data or when I'm on 4g.

Update released to cripple Note 7 in US

I'm sure most of us knew this was coming https://www.engadget.com/2016/11/04/software-update-will-annoy-galaxy-note-7-owners-into-a-return/
I have my updates on "manual" and I was able to deflect the attempt that still managed to almost start. I ended u hitting later. I was wondering if anyone knew how to disable these updates from popping up via Root explorer which I think I seen before.
Thanks
Disable pro 6.3 ....

They got me. I stopped the update but when I restarted my phone it was bootlooping. I cannot find the PHE (last "green battery" firmware) update anywhere. Looks like I'm returning my phone tomorrow. It has been a good fight.
That sucks. That same thing happened to me when I got my second Note 7 and the update installed on its own. I think we'll all have to give in at some point. This waterproof body and camera, better radio and a bunch of other crap has me refusing to give in. My rooted Note 3 is waiting..
After installing and running the disabler app I noticed a "Setup Wizard" app icon in my app drawer. Wth is it? Don't remember seeing this prior and uninstall is blocked.
Anybody know if rooting Note 7 will help get rid of the 60% limiter and also all the popup wanting you to return your Note 7 if so instructions please.
