I saw something similar with my old phone, it got to do with speedcharge booster from CM Booster, or CM cleaner something like that.

Don't use any of the apps like GO. They are filled with adware and are subpar apps in the first place.

For a messenger app with emoji I recommend Textra. It might have a couple adds, but pro version is very cheap. For a keyboard app, they all have emoji. I recommend stock or SwiftKey.

Some app was updated with this. I do not have any GO products nor any CM ones. Has anyone figured out what this is? Could it be some Samsung 'improvement' forced on us?

I've been a paid Swype user for years now, haven't found another keyboard that suits me as well, to be honest. I tried SwiftKey, etc. and didn't care for them.

Chrooma keyboard. Dope. Nuff said. Fleksy is cool too once you get used to it and the way you input keys..its quite different. but I like swiping for words sometimes and fleksy doesn't support that. Chrooma has been my favorite since I can't flash AOSP keyboard with number row.

I have solved the problem on my device
Hi
I had the same problem.
If you can have access to a terminal in your device, you can see the running processes with ps command.
I use it to see what processes where running when I saw that screen appear once again, what I could see at the output from the command line was that two of the running process where related to a wallpapers app (KittyPlay wallpapers) and had some estrange references to the following namespaces:
com.jiubang.commerce.service.IntelligentPreloadService
com.jiubang.commerce.chargelock
The first thing that come to my mind was the obvious relation of "chargelock" with the kind of screen lock that was appearing on my device and the fact that a few days ago I have installed f-droid and this application offered to update the KittyPlay application, so I updated thinking that there was no problem with the updated app. After the update I started to see the speedcharge lock screen.
The only way for me to know what was causing the problem was to use the command line and trying to identify the processes involved.
I uninstalled the mentioned application (KittyPlay) and the speedcharge lock screen stopped from appearing.
Hope this can be helpful to solve the problem for you.

I've had the same problem for awhile now. Turns out it was GO Weather. I'd used it for years without any real problems but this is it. I just uninstalled, rebooted and the speedcharge lockscreen is gone.

It is also in GO power master but all I did was go to settings and unclick Boost Charge. There is also an option to unclick launch GO power master when charging.

I found it in zcamera.

ES file Explorer has been bundled with the speed charger addware as well.

You have CM Locker installed because I used to. Now you can turn that option off or just uninstall CM Locker.

King root installs "cleaner" software on your device. Just find it in settings/applications and uninstall it. Just don't uninstall super user or King user

By cleaner are you referring to "Purify"?

Always On Display got really dark lately

I have auto-brightness and battery saving disabled, but for some reason Always On Display just gets really dark either immediately after locking the device, or after few seconds. This hasn't been the case for over a month I've owned the phone, so wondering if this is a new version of AOD issue (1.1.22)?
Anyone has a fix or more information on the subject?

Can you uninstall the update and see if it goes back to the way it was. Samsung may be trying to reduce battery use by AOD.

Is there a way to roll back the Always On Display to an earlier version? How can I do that?

Yes, it's the latest version of AOD that does this. Now that the reviews of the S7/Edge are all done, Samsung can finally update their phones to their intended versions

If you go into the Application manager, and find AOD, you should be able to uninstall it, which will revert to the original version.

Go to Application Manager, click More and select Show System Apps. It will be displayed as AODService.

OMG, I had the same thought. Bait customers with glowing reviews then **** up the software & battery life with subsequent "updates." Is Samsung getting paid by Apple to gimp their phones? Samsung really sucks at software.

How do you stop this auto updating? There is no option under auto update Samsung Galaxy apps to disable it. Only under auto update apps is there an option to turn it off.

I think the first one only applies if the second one is set to on.

One updates the Galaxy Apps app itself, the second - all other apps downloaded through the Galaxy Apps. So turning off the second one is enough to disable the auto update for AoD.

@optimummind I'm really happy with the new update. The previous versions where way to light to actually use for me. This was also a complaint of a lot of people. So instead of what you say they actually listen..

The options are in the setting menu already, however the ultra usefull app that let you just hit Optimize Now is gone. I had a shortcut already on my homescreen and it just says app not installed when I try to launch.
It's a ****ing shame that VZW decided to pull that out. One of the most useful tools on the device.

Why would it be called "torch"? That's what british people call it. Here in the US, they're called "flashlights". And on a phone, it should always be called flashlight, because you're literally using the camera's flash as a light.

that isn't the only omission, the mark as read and quick reply buttons from the message notification are gone also.

this works thank you, damn verizon just hide it, but it doesnt let you clear your ram or add to home screen or stop the programs.

Just got a software update on my S8+ for TMO and it did in fact kill the Bixby button remapping.

Just got my GS8+ on Verizon, remapping worked like a pro.
Not sure the button remap is worth disabling Samsung updates this early, though.

Got this app last night, I was so excited cause I'd heard it couldn't be remapped anymore so I was kind of resigned to the fact that the button would be totally useless.

So if I understand right, I can install the 'T-Mobile update service' that I've been avoiding do so that I don't lose the bixby remap now?
Is it worth installing the update?

Yeah I'd recommend updating. I'm on the latest and BixBye still works. Course I always keep my phones updated as much as possible, even when the updates don't provide noticeable things, they usually do a lot under the hood. Plus it's always good to get security updates.

It's June, is this still working?

BixBye works for a day for me then stops working.
