Do not pay attention to this if you have stock samsung 4.3.
Some app you installed gives you really annoying ads. Think about what you installed lately and un install it.
Edit: install some free antivirus and check your phone.

This happened from today morning..I uninstalled all programs that I installed for past 2 days..and tried all kind of anti virus possibilities(I.e trust go, avast, lookout and avg pro) they all say my phone has no virus..even checked with lookout ad detector still no hope the ad shows every time I turn my phone on plus the bad thing is when I press my lock key the phone doesn't lock(as if I didn't set any security level)..well thanks for your response I formated my phone now everything seems to be going well

Did you try "ads push detector" or similar app?
Yes I tried Ad detector, Airpush Ad detector and Trustgo Ad detector non of them gave me a clue to the problem

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

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.
I don't know if this is a hyperdrive setting I cannot find or some reject of rooted phones or what but whenever I am in any browser (stock, mozilla,. Puffin, dolphin) if I click on one of the ads at the top of a search list (bing, google, doesn't matter which search engine) I cannot connect to the ad. I get the message below. It's like some sort of ad blocker is engaged but I don't know where or how to shut it off. Please help if you can. Thanks!

I ended up running an app called adblock unblocker and it seems to do the trick.

I tweeted vzw asking about the new lte band coverage in my area. they tweeted back a link with the map. i couldn't open it because it is considered an ad. I did want to open it. When I specifically try to open a link I don't want it to be blocked. Blocking. pushed ads is great. Ads within apps I ignore anyway. No need to block an ad I want to open.

Hey guys i have a 2 week old s7 edge and i noticed that the android os "sent data via wifi" alot. Is this normal? Or is my data leaking out? I didnt root or anything and i already factory reset like 10x. Appreciate any info about this matter.

did you disable all the send anonymous report options in the settings?
Do you mean the location services logging? If so then yes ive already turned that off. Also turned off google now and disabled all google apps i dont regularly use
Here are some more screens

I wonder the same as I have this issue too. I had the same for 'Enhanced Features' from Samsung (profile sharing, see app at bottom of screenshot), I had it disabled and it still sends data. I ended up disabling that thru this Samsung-site. I have disabled all reporting stuff (found 4 in total scattered in all settings) but to no avail, even Samsung Push Services keeps sending data Even Facebook send stuff while i never used the app, I hate this stuff.
What does this profile sharing do?
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
It lets you send/share stuff thru the Samsung Cloud with other people who have this feature enabled.
Already deregistered. Hopefully it helps

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.

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.
