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.

Light Flow update???

Hi,
I am wondering if any of you guys use Light Flow on the 6P and if you updated in the last day or so? I update it last night and a persistent notification is now in my notification bar and will not remove itself.
FYI the persistent notification thing is unselected in light flow (see attached).
Any ideas? Any of you experience the same thing???

I looked in the play store and there are many people complaining the new update is showing the persistent icon and no way to disable it.
Also you could go to settings and go to apps and try this:
settings>Apps>notifications>Block all
see if that resolves it

thanks for the reply, but if i block all notifications, i then get no notifications at all from light flow.

The developer is aware of the situation. Unfortunately it is a Marshmallow issue. He is working on a "legacy" app that will deal with the persistent notification. If you check the reviews in the play store he has replied to the recent complaints. On a side note it is situations like this that has taught me to not immediately update an important app without reading the reviews for a few days. Either that or have a titanium backup handy if the updated app is not playing nicely!

Do you mind sharing your backed up apk?

Here's Reactle's blog post on the persistent notification and other changes for Marshmallow: http://www.reactle.com/2015/10/changes-for-android-6-marshmallow.html
Basically, they were exploiting a flaw in the OS itself to gain control of the LED without a notification or root. That flaw has been fixed, and now without having that persistent notification LightFlow will crash.

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

MMS Not Working In Anything Except Samsung Messages

Hi,
I saw many topics about this, but still haven't been able to fix it on my phone. The only app that seems to work with MMS (sending or receiving) that I've tried is Samsung Messages. I've tried Textra and Android Messages (google), neither work. I've been on and off trying to get them to work since I got the phone in April, to no avail or luck. I can't even get the MMS to work when I disable WiFi, so I'm not sure what is going on. My carrier is Verizon. I've also tried setting the MMS mode to Legacy (from the default of System), but that didn't help.
Has anyone had any luck getting this to work? One thing I haven't tried is uninstalling Samsung Messages (or disabling it via BK Disabler) as I'd prefer to not lose all my chat history. I'm not looking for other texting apps, would like to use Google's or Textra over Samsung's.
Thanks in advance!

Check out screen shot. A couple of bucks for premium features. This is my SMS app for my S8+ and Pixel XL.

Just tried, also not working for MMS. Texting works. Not receiving or sending MMS, whether on Legacy or System for the MMS APN type.
Something is definitely blocking other apps from working.

Sorry, it's work perfect at my S8+. Don't now who to help you.

Tried resetting network settings, cleared system cache, disabling Samsung Messages (+ service worker), rebooting, still doesn't work. :/ I'm starting to think it's an issue specific to being on Verizon's network. Could it be something on their end that I need to call in about?

Copy/Paste/Clipboard Tool Long Press Issues After March Update

Hey Everyone. As of yesterday every time I touch inside a text box to type the tool for paste and clipboard pops up. This ends up covering responses from people in the messages app and is getting pretty annoying. I can't figure out why this has started happening. I've removed Gboard, cleared cache for every app I can think of and nothing helps. Wondering if anyone else is having this issue. Only things that have really changed since yesterday was the March security update and I tried using gesture control but switched back. See attached image for an example.

Edit: As a side note the long press to paste doesn't work and is replaced by a single tap which brings up paste or clipboard.
Edit 2: So I flashed back to the Feb security patch and did a factory reset. Issue was resolved at that point. Updated to the March security update and it's now back so loosing all my settings was for nothing.
Edit 3: My brother just did the March security patch and his does the same thing so it probably is not app related.
Edit 4: This issue appears to have been resolved with the June security patch. [emoji1360]

Unfortunately it happens in any app that I type in. Didn't have an issue until yesterday or at least that's when I started noticing it. If there isn't anything in the clipboard it only shows the tear drop but usually something is stored in the clipboard unless I clear it.
