Security policy update - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This keeps popping up in my notifications and I'm not exactly sure what it is, so I keep declining /dismissing it. I just started getting it a few days ago. Anyone have any insight?

Trud, did you ever find an answer to this? My wife's phone gets this multiple times a day but since I Towelrooted I'm afraid to accept or auto-accept any security patches. I'm wondering what I need to freeze to disable this.

I declined several times but for some reason it updated on its own...

Probably a patch for the Towelroot exploit, who knows

I never did find a solution. I ended up rooting and flashing hyde's rom which has the security updates disabled.

Might swap/swap questions

Ive read some posts were ppl wanted to exchange their phones for the other version. Ive noticed my phone acting up recently (rooted MF3) It randomly reboots, the home button acts up and today my phone was off which revented my alarm from getting me up. All of these aren't huge issues but if it will get me a replacement phone on the other version than its worth the time. How would I go about asking for the other version (not even sure of the other version is even available) I'm assuming ATT will ask why I'm requesting the other version.

I don't think ATT is going to give you the other version just because you ask for it
What I'm saying is, my current phone has been acting up for a while but I've dealt with it. My issues most likely will fetch me a replacement model. If it all possible I'd like to get the other version so I'd like to know how to ask. I'm still going to call them regardless about my issues.

Most refurbished phones are shipped with the latest version. The best way to go about it is to tell them that your work uses an application that is not compatible with the latest software and you need a device with MDL. Chances are, they will not be able to help you, but it is worth a try.

Awful battery since 4.2.2 update

Hey guys.
Not sure if I'm posting in the right place but I've got to find out if it's just me!
Updated about 2 weeks ago to 4.2.2 via OTA and my battery life has dropped drastically.
The one thing I've always loved about the note series is the massive battery and the note 3 didn't disappoint until recently.
The phone used to last anything upto 20 hours with fair usage but since the update I get no longer than about 3-4 hours!
I'm not rooted and I've even performed a factory reset on my device and not installed any apps.
I've even turned cellular data off and left the phone in my pocket without even unlocking it yet still only 2 - 3 hours life.
Anyone else having the same issue or know of any solution?
I appreciate that downgrading back to 4.2.2 isn't possible but surely there must be something else I can do?
any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Note my screen shot of firmware version for you guys to compare.

Are you serious, from 20 hour to 3-4 hours? That is very strange. I am still on 4.3 but waiting for 4.4.2 for my region, what region version are you using?
Yeah can't believe it either. I've had to use a second phone just for work purposes.
I'm in the UK with an unlocked handset. Just received the update OTA.

Im having the very same problem. There are various posts on the net about it on various forums but there seems to be no definitive fix. Very Odd because it definately is affecting a large number of people - but here on xda - dev there dont seem to be too many?

I presume you tried via the over the air update. If so, that message means that Verizon's temporarily removed it and/or their over the air update servers are off line for some reason.
Nothing to worry about. Perhaps they are about to release the 5.1 update.

Yes i did. If the update was pulled wouldn't it say your device is up to date? I also noticed i forgot to mention that im using crickets service on my device. Would that matter?

Yes it would.....Cricket is not Verizon thus you can't access their servers to get the update.

Yeah. My phone is behaving more fluidly though. I had some weird ram bug were it would freeze & close up while I'm in the middle of something and take me back to my lockscreen which is now gone thank god.

Speaking of updates, are we (Note Edge) slated to get Android M whenever it comes out? Or will we all be using different phones by the time we get it?
Yeah, hoping this update to 5.1.1 makes it run better.
Im on sprint and after my update i seem to drop off my home Wi-Fi. I have forgotten network and re-entered, reebooted etc and it still happens never once before stage freight update :/

Can't disable Lookout after PD7 update

I've been having some issues with my S7 edge, so I exchanged it with T-Mobile. I got the replacement phone and updated it all the way to PD7 without doing anything. I just started disabling a bunch of apps and realized Lookout can't be disabled anymore, even though it's disabled on my original S7 edge. I tried Package Disabler Pro, but the app is saying that it can't be uninstalled. Any ideas?
Disables for me. You might want to try a factory reset. That's what I always do whenever an update or phone replacement comes. Granted I only have about 6 apps on my phone so it's a quick set up lol

When did you disable it though? I have it disabled on the older S7 edge, but I get the feeling that T-Mobile blocked new users from disabling it in PD7.

I understand that, but when did you get your phone? Did you disable Lookout before the latest update?

Ahaha I missed that part somehow
I guess I'll try a factory reset :/
You can disable it if you first disable it through settings - lock screen and security - device administrators first.
