I got my phone(s7) maybe 3 months ago and it was working fine but after updating it for three times it started to: 1-be heavy sometimes and it did show a 'touchwiz' crash while swiping between home screens. 2-it closes some apps saying i've to report a problem,apps like "scorehero", "firechat" and "vector 2". 3-the last thing i have here is when i'm using messenger and chatting using "chatheads" i may see the message but it still be in the notification bar like it's not been seen ... does anyone have the same issues or have an answer to my problems ? And sorry if my english is bad

About the messenger issue.. It's app related, I'm having the same issue with messenger, so are my friends on galaxy s5 and lg g3.
As for the rest of the problems, maybe the oculus app is causing them, people are having issues with phone lagging and apps crashing because oculus app keeps trying to install but gets into a loop. Try disabling everything oculus related in package disabler (no root needed). If it's not that, U should do a factory reset after all these updates, I mean, it's samsung, sometimes the phone doesn't work very well after updates for everyone.

After the last update for the software I was updating my apps on the google play but I noticed something .. the app is 100% downloaded but its not installing i didn't really know the reason at that certain moment when I tried to open any app (the one I really did open was 'Shazam') the app didn't start only showed a blue-colored screen but after 10 minuets the app that I was updating started to be installed and without touching anything 'shazam' started ...... so I did the factory reset. The former problems are gone but I'm having the problems I've already mentioned

AT&T Software started updating on its own? V42_1_1303_0_5

So I was hanging up on a call and noticed that in the "ongoing" notification, it said"device management - downloading software update, please do not" and had a little notification icon on the bar of 2 arrows facing opposite directions grey/blue one red. I tried to click the notification but got nothing, so I long press and looked at app info. It said AT&T software update Version v42_1_1303_5_1. I have tried searching this exact version number but nothing comes up on here or on google. I shut the phone off until further notice so I can see if this update is going to screw me in any way. Right now I am just rooted w/ TWRP recovery, but I don't want to do anything that locks this phone up. 32gb AT&T S4.
Thanks
EDIT: scratch that, i had written down the version number incorrectly, it is trying to download v42_1_1303_5_1 (not _0_5). Still, does this mess things up bad? trying to read that now.
Also, the watch on app out of nowhere is now putting its remote in the notification pull down at start up without me even touching the application. I like the app and use it from time to time but I havent touched it in a few days and now it is auto-starting on its own, strange.
Hey, I noticed the watch on app doing the same thing on mine. I didn't realize I got an update but my phone did do an unexpected reboot and watch on was running in my notification tray also.

It's just a theory, but it sounds like "Samsung Push" services might be doing some updating for you.

[Q] Help removing malware

I don't know what this came with but has anyone seen this random popup when opening app drawer or google voice - it'll also bring up Heroes of Dragon age from the play store randomly. How do I get rid of it? Thanks. Sorry, I don't know how to resize images.

they look more like ads... Do you remember which app you installed before they started appearing?
Try uninstalling that app... It may solve your issue...

that shouldn't be too hard..
If I am correct,the new apps are placed last in touchwiz... try going back in that order....
I will recommend making a list of apps using list my apps or similar app so that u can install the apps that were removed in the process here..
u can also check recently updated apps in my app section in Google play,that may also be doing that..
good luck!!

I've had this too a lot. It kills my battery.
I haven't had time to do much testing yet. I think it may be Google Photos. Do you use this and have auto backup enabled by any chance?
Or perhaps something related to the Gear VR software?

I had the same issue, I think it was Chrome causing it. I changed to Chrome Dev and it went away.
I'm pretty sure it has to do with music playing. It shows up if I play music through Google Play Music or other music apps. Google Photos shows up as Google Photos and doesn't seem to affect anything else except for Google Services.

Can confirm. After deactivating Chrome 52.0.2743.98 and exclusively using Chrome Dev 54.0.2840.6, Media Server no longer shows up in battery stats. Battery drainage turned normal, again.
Nevermind. Media Server still eating a bunch of battery. Must have something to do with media playback. Some s6 users reported that using AwesomePlayer solved the issue but that's no longer available in Marshmallow.
Nope, not media playback. I was getting massive drain from it for a week or two and hadn't played any kind of music or videos.

He can use a Samsung system app disabler even without root, such as this one that I use:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hecorat.packagedisabler
Just disable the Google app package with this

Wow this looks useful - did you see a battery increase after using this? Don't want to pay really if its not worth it.

It's just a package disabler, and if you have a wakelock that consumes battery, disabling it will of course fix the problem. When the app is disabled, it's the same as uninstalled = it can't wake your device and no battery will be consumed

App Edge notification

My wife owns a S7 Edge. She loves the device and edge features. Problem is, she receives notifications within the edge panel that won't go away. I've done everything short of a factory reset to no avail. The app in question is Google messenger. Any help would be appreciated.

Does she have a notification on the regular app icon too(not the one in the edge panel)? I sometimes have a lingering notification on the Google Messenger icon, haven't figured out much to do about it. But sometimes i just go thru and open my message threads one by one, just to ensure that I have indeed read all the messages lol. Sometimes that fixes it because maybe there was a message that I actually never officially read. Or even if i did read them all, just opening the threads sometimes makes the notification go away.

No. Only in the edge panel. Not only have I opened every message thread, I've deleted them, cleared its cache, uninstall and reinstalled. I've even cleared the edge panel cache and data. As a last resort, I cleared the device's cache through recovery (stock). Nothing seems to work.
By the way, I'm running 7.0 nougat official
