Can't disable Lookout after PD7 update - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

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.

Wifi and data switch off randomly.

Have noticed about once a day at random times, my wifi and data signal will disappear when using the phone. I have to switch airplane mode on and back off to get my connections back. Not a major Issue, but slightly annoying.
Anyone else have this problem or know the cause?

I'm having an issue where my wifi icon disappears but I'm still connected to wifi. Also, the toggle is grayed out. Pretty annoying. I'm on the Sprint GS5.

The toggle is greyed out on mine too and cannot switch it back on. The only difference is that I loose wifi and network connection. Mine is o2 UK unbranded handset.
Update: my connections are still active when this happens.

I'm getting the same thing here, the data and wifi icons occasionally disappear and the wifi toggle goes dark (as if it's not connected), but I'm still connected and get data just fine.
Do you reckon this is a hardware or software fault?

I did install adblock (unrooted) for about 30 minutes and then removed it when I first got my phone. Not sure if the problem started before or after.

It didn't happen yesterday so will wait for next samsung update and see if that solves the problem. Unless it gets worse then I will factory reset.
update : shortly after I posted this it happened again so I tested the connection and I was still connected to wifi.

Security policy update

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.

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.
Sent from my Note 3 via Tapatalk
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.

interesting. i installed it because i know i will never exit quadroter and because i wanted the better camera with manual controls...

It's directly from Blackberry.. Thank God! Apparently they will be handling all of us whose only error was obtaining a Priv with a deathstar logo.. Lol
that's awesome news.
btw, a have a few bugs after the update. some status bar icons do not update. for example I'm more seeing battery at 60% but if i pull down notifications it shows 58%
already rebooted and cleared cache. next thing i will have to try a data reset...
anyone else experienced this bug?
Sent from my STV100-1 using XDA-Developers mobile app
living a little longer with the bug, it is the pull down that is actually late on updates.
it updates correctly only after I pull it down completely. the actual status bar is always correct, thankfully.
maybe because I disabled some crap from hub shenanigans?

Mine works fine without the wipe.
I was just sharing my experience as I just got the phone the day before. I had the phone all set up it was working fine on Android 6.0.1. I upgraded to the beta for nougat Android 7.0 and immediately my phone kept rebooting every 30 seconds or little bit longer. Once I realized the data I have not had any issues at all.

I had massive restart loop every 30 seconds yesterday. Have been troubleshooting. Ultimately had to rewipe again, to get it to work.
Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk
I downloaded the app this afternoon, did the registration, went into my setting and checked for an update and it downloaded nougat. The one thing I have found is that Bluetooth sucks! Seriously my music breaks up with it just in my pocket and I'm wearing Bluetooth headphones. Then I took it out of my pocket and put it on the counter and I can't get 5 feet away from the phone and the music breaks up again. Prior to the update I could go to the gym, put my phone down and be a good 40 feet away and it would still work fine.

Is there a way to keep the phone's screen from coming on when a text message comes in?
Sent from my SM-G935P using XDA-Developers mobile app
Thanks to this thread I installed the beta Nougat OS.
Nothing bad so far. I did NOT wipe or remove data.
So far, I really like it. The SoTP meter says it's faster. Only thing that doesn't work so far is my Agenda Widget. Love the improved AOD. Battery seems to last a little longer, but not enough experience to say definitively. I did notice that the phone was warm when at 100% this morning. Haven't seen that since the update that stopped us charging to 100% (even though the display said it was).
The options in Settings are better- much better control of notifications.
I'll post more as I discover it.
Is anybody having the issue where the speaker volume is really quiet? Like unusable when watching YouTube.

Sprint users were part of the beta too, so it shouldn't be like rollouts in the past. Although I don't understand why we've been testing 7.0 and the final is supposed to be 7.1.1, unless Sprint stays on 7.0.

If sammy sends them 7.1.1 them that's what we will get. 7.1.1 isn't that much different from 7.0 just a few features added like app menu short cuts which wouldnt take much for them to add in the final release .I really dnt get how beta is over with all bugs not fixed. I personality still have an issue with Youtube videos not working after some time. Notification tones stop working after some time. No factory reset or caches clear has fixed this in the whole beta process.
