Hi
Every time I reboot my SGS, my icons/programs have rearranged so that they are not in the same position as I have put them. I try to organize my icons so that I have games in one window and musicrelated stuff in another an so on...
Any idea what's going on?
I have updated to lastest firmware, but it also happend prior the update.

Yes, I have the same problem. Also want to organize icons in seperate windows but sometimes they move.
Same problem on JPA and JPO (not sure if I had this on JM1)
EDIT: It seems to also happen when I install new applications, don't even have to reboot to see the problem.
same problem here

nope ootb official android on galaxy s with the app "apps organizer"
Just for info are these the apps which are on the SD card? If yes, then move these to phone. Just a shot in the dark. Thought it might work.

Hi,
having the exact same problem as described. Tried different versions of Darky's ROM, currently running on 9.3. Extreme. But also experienced on 9.2. Can't remember if it occured on preinstalled Samsung Froyo.
Isn't there really any solution to this ? It's really annoying not to have an option to sort your icons when they keeps messing up after reboot.
What ROMs are you having, guys ?

Looks like lots of things can move your icons update of apps can shift stuff around .
But if you are not updating> factory resetting etc then the apps should stay where they are on a stock rom after a reboot .

Solution
Guys, this issue has a relatively simple solution, the problem is with your touchwiz not saving correctly setting, do the following:
Go to Settings > Applications > All
In here, go find TwLauncher and click it, DON'T click force stop now just click the "clear data" button.
After this, your icons will mess around again, ordered alphabetically, just restart phone.
That should do it, next time you organize your apps they should stay where you left them.
I hope it help you guys, cheers!
EDIT:
If the above wasn't enough (in most cases it should), you can try to get Root Explorer and go to:
/dbdata/databases/
find the com.sec.android.app.twlauncher folder and delete it.
This is harmless, but it will again order alphabetically your apps, this folder will be restored again on next boot, so restart phone after.

Clearing the data worked for me! Thank you very much!
Didn't try deleting com.sec.android.app.twlauncher but instead clearing works. More feedback pls
I had the problem, changed ROM and solved.
I have a Note 3 in Canada with Rogers and I am getting these extremely annoying pop up ads as soon as I unlock my phon it would pop up. It is basically a box in the middle of the screen different websites usually NSFW that give two options of either downloading or checking later. I have tried Push Detector and other Adware detector but they don't find any issues.
Please help.
Thank you.

If you have a rooted device you can always install Greenify and simply just hibernate all the apps you don't use.
None of the standard apps should do that -- and if Rogers has installed bloatware that does this then they should be taken to task.
It is almost certainly some app you installed,

What is happening when you click long on him ? Try keep finger little longer of him.
I tried holding the ad for a while to maybe the app info, but it wouldn't give me any option.
I can definitely feel my Note 3's performance has slowed down and battery drains much faster.
I used Greenify as well, using only the Apps that I am certain shouldn't have an adware but no dice.

Use Minmin guard and r xprivacy modules for xposed framework...
Minmin guard stops those annoying popup ads being downloaded from the net. Please note however that any popup downloaded already is still there and will be displayed until you clear cache and dalvik cache...
Xprivacy offers you the choice of allowing apps the right to use or block certain privelages, things like like access imei/contact lists/accounts and access to the internet and also root privelages... This is essentially a firewall that requires your authorisation to allow new apps the right to use your phone how it wants...

Sounds like you need to do a full wipe and stay away from that App. It's most likely a virus that will keep doing this. Do you install a lot of third-party apps? Like, you didn't find it on Google Play Store and you just downloaded it from internet and installed it?
I was thinking maybe I should just do a wipe and then see what happens.
I don't download a lot of third party apps but I have downloaded some.
How about clearing cache and Dalvik cache as the other poster had suggested?
My devise is rooted, maybe just back up the essential apps and install a new ROM ?
Maybe you should check your battery usage in Settings. If it is draining your battery, you should see the app on the list? Unless you know what app is causing it, you probably install it later and get it back. No, Dalvik and Cache clearing won't fix your problem.

If you rooted try in this way. Backup all user app with titanium backup.
Then uninstall all suspect and new installed app. if ad disappear then restore one by one with TB and see what make this popup

Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916098
I will try uninstalling all the apps and then see.
The other post about using MOAB is a little hard for me to do as I didn't root using CWM or the other.
So I just updated my phone to G935tuvu4apia_tmb using the guide in the Tmobile Galaxy S7 Edge Development forum, and then I proceeded to Uninstall a bunch of bloatware and system apps (because package disabler pro doesn't work on G935tuvu4apia_tmb for me for some reason). I had accidentally deleted something called "Universal Switch", then, stupidly.. I had already deleted all of the backups for the things I had uninstalled before I had run through my phone making sure I didn't Uninstall anything important by accident. Lo and behold, it turns out that I need Universal Switch. Does anybody have a way that I can download and reinstall that on my phone? I would really rather prefer not to have to go back and refresh everything using Odin, as I literally just finished restoring, logging in, personalizing, and setting everything else up on my phone, and that took me a day and a half. So if anyone has a way for me to reinstall that on my phone I would greatly appreciate it, and I have definitely learned my lesson through this whole experience. I posted a picture of why I think I need Universal Switch, if I'm just crazy, and misunderstanding the issue I'm having then I'd appreciate someone informing me and educating me on the matter. Thanks again.
So I couldn't figure out how to attach a picture to this post, so here is a link to the screenshot of the issue I'm having.
I can't post outside links yet, so put a "Dropbox" and a ".com" in front of the text below to complete the link.

I think that is just the text to speech......
Universal switch is for smart switch I think. Not sure

Solution?
Well if it's just tts, do you know of any solution for getting passed this thing on my phone? If you check out the screenshot I linked, the issue is, whenever I go to settings, accessibility, scroll all the way down to services, then try to turn anything in services on, I get that pop up, then I click turn on on that pop up, and then it says "unfortunately settings has stopped". I am unable to turn anything on under services in the accessibility settings. There, that is a vast improvement from my original post of the description of the issue I am having. If I click on settings on the pop up, it goes to the tts settings page and just sits there loading forever.
Package Disabler Pro and disable it... Turn it off under Inputs....
As for the services issue... maybe reflash only the AP of the rom, which I believe keeps all apps and internal storage... That should fix that issue... You will have to reconfig your ish, but that should fix and farks....
It honestly sounds like you have a corrupt install to begin with because you CAN'T use Package Disabler.. Did you try the different ones?? I know one did NOT work for me as well... then one did...
This weird app (device quantity agent) was pushed to my phone from the galaxy apps store as a critical update just a few ago, anyone know what it is?

Same here.
ahh so thats the "critical update" i declined. Was wondering what it was since there were no apps that needed updating in the store. Wonder what it does
It's update for fixing DQA keeps stopping issue.
I had mine suddenly download and install 3 things from the galaxp app store yesterday without me knowing anything about it. Personalized service client, samsung pass, and LED view cover icon editor. I thought I had been hacked and someone was downloading sutff to my phone!! No idea why it suddenly started doing that by itself. I have turned auto update apps off now in the galaxy app store, I guess they were already installed and were just auto updating (and i have no disabled them all in package disabler since they all seemed like junk).
I dont know what DQA does, wonder if its another one we can safely disable.

From what I understand, DQA has to do with checking the quality of your Wi-Fi. You'll notice if you turn your Wi-fi off, you'll stop getting those messages. Some have had success with going into your running Apps and force stopping the DQA. That didn't help me though and rebooting several times (which has also helped some) didn't work for me either. Still working through options. If anyone has other ideas...

I havent had any issues with or or any messages about it either before it updated or after. I usually have wifi on but have turned it off today and not noticed anything either. I have not disabled it in package disabler as i didnt know what it did, it doesnt seem to be using battery so i will just leave it on.
This is what I've found from Android Authority...
- Reboot device (may need to repeat a few times)
- Clear cache partition through recovery (turn off phone, press and hold Power, Volume Up and Bixby button. On Android screen, when you see ‘No command’ hold power and press volume up to access recovery. Use volume keys to highlight ‘Wipe cache partition’ and press Power to select. Highlight ‘Yes’ and press Power to confirm, then reboot phone)
- Turn off Wi-Fi
- Disable high performance mode
- Force quit DQA app (go to Settings > Apps and tap the overflow menu (three dots at the top right), tap ‘Show system apps’ and locate DQA. Tap it and ‘Force stop’)
- Disable DQA app with BK Package Disabler (costs $1.50, does not require root). Install app, grant permissions, swipe to System tab, find DQA and check the box next to it (simply uncheck to re-enable).
I haven't tried all these options yet. Let me know if any help should you decide to try.
I'm bumping this topic. Tried googling DQA, but very little seems to be known about it. If it indeed is checking the quality of the wifi, is it really safe to disable?

Hi, have you found any info regarding DQA? I found it among the recommended apps to disable/uninstall on Universal Android Debloater, but still I read somewhere that some of the apps disabled through UAD might be important, so I'm not sure about what to do.

My phone has been acting really weird for a few months now and I can't figure it out. Is there a way to find all apps on the phone user installed, system, and hidden?? My phone isnt rooted; well I havent rooted it nor does it say it has. For instance earlier when I pushed my volume button there was an accessibility guy there nothing would open when I pushed him and while looking threw my accessibility settings and checking here and there to see if he was still there, he just vanishes without me turning anything off. Like WTF. Theres other weird things but that's just the most recent 1. And it's got me very concerned. Pls help!!
Your probably have a setting on in Accessibility like visibility enhancements or screen reader, you'll need to turn it off.
For list of apps you can view them in Settings > Apps ( Tap the 3 dots on the top right and tap "Show system apps" )

That's what I thought at first so I went threw my accessibility settings and they r all off. He hasn't been back so far that I have noticed. I know there r some spyware and malware that u can hide from being seen or make it look like some random app. Is there a way to use like adb or android studio to scan it for something that shouldn't be there.

I'm not sure too much about malware, I do know that Samsung has their own "Security Features" in Settings > Device Care > Security if you want to scan your device, also try Play Protect.
Seeing that the Accessibility issues are out of the way, what other problems are you experiencing ?

I saw the guy again but this time I kinda got to look at the running services and I found this. Could that have something to do with it?? As u can kinda tell, once I forced stopped that cloud messaging service the time changed on it and went under the dual messenger service. But as I was saying beforehand, google play services always had a pop up saying using headphones in the background. But my data doubled in the last 2-3 months, things I download will just disappear and pictures (like my phone will restore itself a few days but not my messages or calls), my phone also keeps adding a new camera gallery like it's not connected anymore and is a new camera same with the screenshot folder. Theres also a few other things

So Cloud Messaging's time would change because after you stopped the process it restarted itself. But the other things make it look like your phone is being haunted :laugh:
Can you send your list of installed Applications ?
