Galaxy S5 Status Bar Checking device status... Please wait... - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have looked at other peoples post and could not find an answer, so here I am
Can anyone help me fix this problem that shows up I my status bar?

just long press on the notif in the pulldown, hit the "i" icon and force stop it. I think its a samsung DM process if i remember correctly. I just uninstalled it in titanium backup (TiB) and it never cropped back up nor caused any issued being uninstalled. Then after a reflash and having purchased the pro version, i just froze it in TiB, viola, problem solved

Oh i tried to long press and force stop it but when i restart the phone it just comes up again.
I have a couple of other issues dont know if they are related.
POP ups:
Unfortunately SAE has stopped and
2 messages can not be delivered
Those are the other 2 things that pop up.
All this started after i reflashed and installed MOAR 7.1
Ofcourse it could be because i changed from Sprint to MetroPCS

itll recur every time you reboot if you dont freeze or uninstall, and the other issues are likely due to to the carrier switch

Ok thanks for the help

[Q] My magazine notification issue

Hi everyone,
I've been running my Note 3 with Nova Prime for the last week now and it's been great. I was able to get rid of the swipe up gesture to open My magazine. However, recently (in the last 24 hrs or so) I am randomly getting a popup notification "Unfortunately. My Magazine Here and Now has Stopped". As far as I can tell, I've gotten about 5 times now. I just press okay and it goes away, but its a little annoying because it never did this. I've tried clearing cache, restarting the phone, but it keeps coming back.
Is anyone having this issue? Did I perhaps change a setting that I shouldn't have? Or, did my phone get OTA update that I didn't know about?
Sorry, new to Android.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, this is happening to mine too. I'm also running Nova so I wonder if that has something to do with the error.

+1 for getting this error. I am running nova but the error pops up while browsing the gallery and also in a few apps. It makes the phone unresponsive for about 5 sec and then I get the notification.
I am getting this error message as well... anybody found solution to fix this? at least I would like to know what is causing this issue...
Thanks in advance!
Having the same issue
I am having the same issue as well. Can't even uninstall or disable that app.
It's start to happening to me as well and it's annoying. I never root my phone or anything. How to fix this or completely remove it? Thanks
My phone also locks up for a few seconds before it displays the notification. I getting annoying too as is happening about 4-5 times a day now while in different apps. Last night or was in waze and this morning it was in calendar.
I'm thinking of restoring my phone but I really don't want to.

Having Same Issue
I have cleared the cache and force stopped the app and still get the notification . Just started a few days ago.
I too have tried to narrow down the issue in application manager, with no luck. Really frustrating!
The solution
Uninstall FlipBoard. This worked for me. If Flip Board cannot be uninstalled, the remove the latest update.

I uninstalled FlipBoard and the error continued, it happens to me about 2 times per hour. Then the next time I rebooted my Note3, Flipboard updated itself again.
I'm not exactly sure why but I haven't had the issue for about a day now. Fingers crossed.

Same issue here. This is the crap that annoys the hell outta me. Why cant I remove this or disable it at the least. Flipboard cant be uninstalled. I removed the latest updates still the same issue. Turn off auto updating will stop the app from auto updating. Ive disabled auto updates for now, not confident that will cure the issue...
I'm having this issue as well. It's weird that it's happening even when launch the dialer to call someone. It freezes for around 5 seconds, and displays the error message.
Me too

So after being error-free for about 4 days, it's back. I've gotten the error four times already today, three of them while running waze on my way to work. Doesn't really make sense since I wasn't even handling the phone at the time.
Has anybody tried rooting their phone and removing all the magazine stuff with titanium backup?

Same problem here...new to Android
Hello. I am having the same problem here as well. I have only download a few things before I started having this crash. In fact, my phone seem to be pretty unstable with numerous things crashing, including the camera app, as well as some other camera apps. I don't really think I have installed too much, or anything crazy, but then I am just starting with Andoid, so not really sure. Just came from iPhone. Want to root...just not sure what I am doing yet. But if it will help get rid of this problem, I am game...but this is pretty uncool. Will I loose my S Pen Air Command on my Note 3? I have read conflicting reports.
Thanks!!
If anybody has any new developments, please post.
Thanks!!
I found something that works
If you open up that magazine app by swiping up, then click on the 3 lines, then uncheck every thing except social.
That worked for me!

[Q] Soft reboot on Lock-unlock-Lock-unlock

I am using the D802, bought it in Singapore under M1. I also use the flipcover with the quick window - bug does not happen when i unlock using it. On stock with TWRP and root.
The problem first started when I rooted my device, I noticed that locking it and quickly unlocking it again would sometimes cause a soft reboot. The problem went away after a while, but today it has rebooted on me at least 8 times.
My logcat is attached below(no confidential stuff there). I seem to be able to reproduce the problem pretty easily today, so I started logging from when I turned on my screen and ends when the phone shows the lock screen when I finish the boot(when the lock screen appears)
Unlocking is attempted the moment the screen turns on and all the widgets have loaded(1second?), and the soft reboot occur both with double tap and using the power on key.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3ooqFjmbeiFZDg3aHVUenFCWWc/edit?usp=sharing
I've already done a cache and dalvik cache wipe using TWRP 2.6.3.2 but it does nothing IMO
Any one has any ideas? I suspect a problem with me /system/bin/cnd file cos is keeps showing a "reading a NULL string not supported here" - it's the one error that keeps showing up. Any help would be really appreciated, thank you so much
I have seen this problem on many, many occasions with my T-Mobile G2 but in my case I did not dug that deep (logcat).
However I noticed the problem occurred while using either the Lockscreen Gmail Widget or the Launcher Gmail Widget.
Once I remove them, the problem is gone.
Cheers!
I see, thank you so much! Just removed it.

Prevention Information Message

Ok, so I've seen a few post regarding this but looks like its from folks with rooted devices or Galaxy S4.
For the last 4 days I've been getting the following: Prevention Information Message: An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system in your device.
I can click ok, and all it does it show me a list of running stuff. But not what item is causing the error.
If I look at my most recent updates: the following Apps were updated:
AT&T Messages
Lookout Security (Not using this)
PEN.UP
Sansung WatchON
YP Local Search and Gas Prices
Ant Radio Service
AT&T DriveMode
Any ideas?
I'm having the same problem
this is what it says:
an application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized access to system in your device.
it may be safe to delete an application obtained from an unauthorized route check now
I'm on stock android all my apps are from the play store and lookout says there's no malware
what could this be and how do i get rid of it?

I contacted Samsung but they weren't much help. They seem to think it was a bad ATT Messaging App update, but after we removed it, and cleared the cache it was still happening. So they told me to contact ATT, go figure....

Same issue. I have no idea what's causing it. Anyone have any insight on this yet?
My phone isn't rooted.
I get the same message when I try to run an app that has been restored by Titanium Backup.
"Unknown sources" is ticked.
"Verify apps" is unticked.
The device is rooted via. CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505 and I'm running the latest firmware as of late October 2013.
Confused and frustrated!
I started getting this today. Everything is stock.
Connecting to WiFi seems to trigger it.
What is so infuriating about this, is that it doesn't tell you which app it is blocking. What in the hell is the point of blocking something if you're not going to even tell me what the potential threat was?!
Same problem! Tell me what app to uninstall you dang phone! Can someone please help us?

So I wiped my phone and did 1 to 2 installs of apps a day (left all the ATT stuff until the end). This morning I started getting the message again.
It has to be from either AT&T Drive, or AT&T Locker. Those are the last 2 I installed before it started happening. The odd thing is I uninstalled those and then actually turned them off and its still happening. So I dont even know what to do at this point.

I don't have any of the AT&T stuff and I got the message. As said previously, it is triggered by turning your wi-fi on. If you restart your phone with wifi on without turning it off and on or loosing connection, you don't get the message.
I went through force closing all my apps one by one, same thing.
I kept receiving this message. However I tried this today and the message doesn't appear anymore in the notification bar. What I did was when 'prevention message' appear I long pressed on the message and press 'app info'. It led straight to knox notification. I force stopped it, cleared the data and cache. Then straight away I went to settings> general> security, and unticked unknown sources. Worked for me

Isn't Knox the app that is originally giving this warning? If you force close it, it will stop giving the message without solving the reason of the message. The problem is solved by unchecking the Unknown Sources and clearing cache and data without force closing knox.

It wouldn't work for me wben I just unchecked the unknown sources. It worked when I long pressed on the prevention message and cleared cache and data then untick unknown sources

[Q] Random Restarts?

Over the past few days I have noticed that my D800 will randomly restart. It does it in this way every time...I will go to unlock the phone by double tapping and the front LED will turn white as it is supposed to, then it will just hang there with a black screen until the ATT logo shows again and it boots back into my lock screen. Why is this happening? Has it happened to anyone else? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Opps i just started a topic on this. I have sprint g2 and i was suffering the same issues. I dont know what i did to fix it. But it seems fine now.

hello, I experienced the same trouble last week. I remove Gmail (as it was proposed in an other thread) and reinstall it. Since then, no more reboot . It seems that one update of Gmail is creating some trouble.
cross the fingers it does not appear again ;0)

[Q] Random unresponsive home and lock button

Hi,
I am having some serious trouble with my note 3.
The basics of the problem are that the lock button seems to lock the screen but once pressed again it shows whatever was on the screen before, not the lock screen!? Holding the lock button does not come up with the turn off/reset options.
Another odd thing that happens along with this is that any application that is opened or closed the screen flashes black before opening up.
Along with this I have found that the alot of the native apps, including phone, contacts and most annoyingly, CLOCK, crash also. Making me late for work and rendering the phone useless unless I do a battery pull.
I will note that the most odd thing is that I contacted our business contract guy who who i expected to tell me to do a soft reset, told me that the supplier would swap out the phone?! That was last week and the new handset is showing early signs of the same thing.
Neither phones are rooted and I have not installed any unknown sources on the new handset to be sure it wasnt an outside source?!
Any help would be appreciated.

I am having this same exact issue. First happened when I installed a SanDisk Ultra CLASS 10. I thought the card was causing me compatibility issues so I returned it to amazon. This was just a few days ago. The only thing that worked to fix this issue was to remove the battery.
On the way to work today I suddenly couldn't play any music downloaded from Google music to my device. However, I could stream music that was not downloaded to my device. I also couldn't view any pictures in my picture gallery. I tried rebooting the phone and guess what -- I got the same exact issue as the original post above.
I wasn't going to mess with my phone while driving so I made up my mind that I was going to return it to verizon tomorrow. About an hour into work I picked up my phone and it gave me the onscreen instructions to swipe up to get flip board -- same instructions it gives you after a reboot. I then tried playing the same music that wouldn't play before and it played. I tried viewing pictures in the gallery that were inviewable before and they were now viewable.
I'd like to know what is going on too. I can't just give up to the fact that my phone doesn't want to work at certain times of the day so I just have to give it an hour.

The best thing would be to remove all non-factory apps. But yes, start by removing as many of them as possible.
(If that doesn't work, do a factory reset and cache wipe through the recovery menu, and don't restore a single app. (I'm not talking abouy the bloatware, we all have those.))
If there are no problems at that point, add back your apps one by one. (no restoring anything, make sure they are clean installs.)
Eventually you should run into whatever app is causing the issue.

I reset the system to factory settings and started arranging only the installed apps and widgets and I got the same lock screen issues.
This time the phone wouldn't go to the lock screen but it would give me the option to restart or shut down. I set it aside again and when I picked it up a few later it showed me the home screen wwith instructions on how to access flipboard -- as if it was reset! I have a warranty on mine so I'm gonna return it to verizon tomorrow or friday.
