Security policies update? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Has anybody received this security update? And if so what did you do? Should I just accept it or cancel. Btw I'm rooted mja stock rom and kernel.

Accept it and you won't get the mag anymore.

I think he meant nag. As in nagging popups
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

Ah, so it's not going to really change anything. I hit cancel. Now the nag is gone.. haha didn't really mind the nag just didn't want it change anything to my device.

Anytime I would connect to wifi I would get that popup. I cancelled it at first but I cant watch any videos from my device. For example youtube will say "cant connect to server" or a video on facebook "cannot be played" If I switch back to using mobile network they play fine, so out of annoyance I clicked the update option and it doesn't nag me when I connect to wifi but I still can watch any videos. Any suggestions ?

cannot download apps from playstore

I tried to look for this problem, but couldn't find anything relevant...
finally got my unlocked nexus 4 in the mail today!
was super excited, cut my existing t-mobile sim card (I'm on a contract with them) and was able to connect to their network.
the problem is that no matter what network i am on (wifi, 4g, 2g) i cannot download any apps from the play store. I click on 'install', it brings up the permissions window, i click on 'accept and download' and it tells me "[app_name] could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]."
Also can't update any apps...
I am extremely confused.. has anyone encountered this problem?

Not specific to N4. Happens on my Galaxy S too, on the stock app. I don't remember it ever happening on Handcent. Maybe try that?
Yay! It worked

This is Google's way to stop any rogue app from spamming your contacts with SMS.
Have to root to get rid of it.

I don't own any rogue app. Pure stock and verify app on and the unknown source all is unchecked. Its only when I'm sending out message he gives me that error on multiply occasion.

But if you did have a rogue app spamming your contacts, this feature would stop it.

solution
go to settings, app and then go to messaging in there, there is a option of send premium sms
instead of ask select always allow! it worked for me

Play store not working

Is anyone else having a problem with play store not working? All I get is a screen that says "no connection".
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
Might just want to go into the application manager, clear data, force stop, and try using it again. That usually fixes it for me :thumbup:

I've done that, uninstalled it, reinstalled, updated.... Nothing I can think of works.

Working fine here... You sure you're connected to 3/4g, Wifi? Maybe in a dead spot?
No, that's not it. All other data apps work. Good connection all around.

Watch On S4 problem

All the sudden Watch On app is turning itself on and showing in the notifications area. I turn it off(tell it not to) but when I restart it's back. What happened? Fix?
Thanks.

Check your settings and disable the "show remote in notifications"
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
Thanks, but that's what I have tried 6 times now. It automatically puts it back on restart.
Please help.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
I came here and was just about to ask the same question. I could not figure out why this thing was always on in the notifications and status bar!
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using xda app-developers app
That is weird because I use my watch on app all the time. I disabled the notification from settings once and it stayed true. Are you running a custom ROM? I'm on ShoStock v2.0.

Not rooted. All stock.

Same here. Started happening a couple days ago. Every restart its in my notifications. I'm running mint jelly rom.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I am running SHOstock 2 and it happens to me too.
I reported it to samsung, you should too,
in the Settings near the bottom
Send feedback or get help
Report this faulty app Please!!!!
fix
Unless Samsung has updated the app behind the scenes.
This seems to have fixed the issue:
Under settings go into your applications
go to Samsung Watchon and hit the clear button,
Yes, you will have to re-setup your TV\Cable,
but the checkbox does not reset now.
I emailed them about the issue. You can report bugs from the app. I suggest everyone do the same

[Q] Google search "can't reach Google at the moment" help!!

I have a sprint galaxy s4 and am running team octos KitKat 4.4.2 ROM latest version and Google search keeps telling me "can't reach Google at the moment" what can I do to fix this?
Grab your phone and throw it on the floor, then reboot. If that doesn't work next you will want to lighten it on fire with lighter fluid.jk
From a Google search it seems to be a somewhat common issue where people say it will start working on its own or got it to work after putting the phone in airplane mode or rebooting the phone.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
I reboot it and it works for a couple of minutes and then i get a pop-up randomly saying Google search has stopped working?

Some Aldo said it had to do with chrome beta. Do you have that installed?

Yes I do but that's the only browser I use

I actually don't have chrome beta installed just checked I just have the regular version
