I recently bought a unlocked Sprint Galaxy S7 and using it on att network. Since I do not have a Sprint account, the hands free activation service keeps on popping out. How can I disable or shut down the service?

i think a guy on the "unlock sprint s7 for use with att" thread on page 4 has the answer check it out and try it
disable Hands Free Activation
Use the package disabler Pro($0.99) to disable the "System Update" package.
Or, use application manager to disable the "System Update" package every time after the reboot.

the built in application manager will not allow you to disable 'system update', but it does allow you to force close it after every reboot to remove the ongoing notification. The work around is to purchase the app as mentioned "package disabler pro" to disable the 'system update' package all together. As i understand it, the paid app uses a workaround associated with knox. It is confirmed to work.
thanks you sir, i understand now

i did not experience any issues from disabling system update. FYI, the carrier-free s7 firmware was leaked and you and flash that to your phone to remove all traces of sprint. The phone will function as a g930U. i am running that right now and it enables hotspot functionality for me. find the thread for the unlocked firmware in the ATT section.

hey, so you have a sprint 930p, and u unlocked it? then flashed that firmware from the att section and it removed all the sprint bloatware??
thanks sir
I actually need help with the opposite. I'm rooted and I did a wipe but now my hands free activation doesn't pop up and let me connect my phone back to network. I tried re-enable what was frozen but still won't work. Data works fine though
Can't find System Update in Package Disabler
I have purchased an unlocked S7 that was originally from Sprint, and I bought the package disabler Pro
In App settings I have "System Update" and can Force Close it to temporarily get rid of the notification, however Package Disabler Pro does not list "System Update" or "com.samsung.sdm". Has it been renamed or is it able to hide itself somehow?

I think I answered my own question. Trial and error eventually showed that disabling "Samsung DM Service" (com.samsung.syncservice) removed the notification.

I managed to get rid of the Sprint HFA by flashing T-Mobile firmware. I tried the G930U firmware, a few different versions, and it never worked. This is the firmware I flashed with Odin: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=0749006C458011E697AF0CC47A44B7B2
Oh yeah? You can flash from a sprint to a t-mobile? What are steps I need to take, starting from a stock sprint phone? Mine is a G930P.
I'm assuming some combination of odin, flashfire, root, etc?
i'm surprised the t-mobile rom would work. Where is the leaked G930U firmware?
Used the U firmware on my recently bought 930P
I can finally get LTE data and everything is finally tidily working !
I had to set the APN to get it working again, but on the Stock 930P Sprint firmware, it seemed as if LTE was blocked?
If you have a 930P get the firmware above running 6.0.1 and wait for the unlocked 930U nougat firmware.
Everything working - No root applied.
Question on which G930U variant you flashed to your G930P

What version did you flash to get rid of the Sprint network items? The U version specifically for the P variant or a different image? I.e. here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s7/help/bloat-free-firmware-930u-tried-t3428974 ?
if on sprint network and this happens?
my son broke a phone and replaced with an old sprint galaxy s6 we had. he put his sim card in and we did live chat to activate it. all good....not....he can use the phone but it keeps hands free activating and he has to enter info etc.
would this work? or is there an easier fix since we are on sprint? do i need to contact sprint? or just reboot? any ideas appreciated. thanks.
Samsung Galaxy S7 Sprint unlocked - Need to disable "Checking Device Status ..." msg
Hi guys, i've just got today a S7 SM-G930P with firmware G930PVPS4APJ2, managed to disable most of the crapware with Package Disabler Pro but i am unable to get rid of a notification that says "Checking Device Status". I click on it and nothing nor i can find a related package to uninstall or stop.
The phone is unlocked and i am using it outside the USA in a non-Sprint environment
Any ideas? it seems to be eating a lot of my batt.
FemurUY
i had this problem before i flashed the unlocked fw. what i did was disable a package called, i think system update.
try that. let me know if it does not work. i forgot the process a little.
Hi, thank you for your reply, system update is already disabled ... but this thing is still on.
do you remember what FW you flashed?
FemurUY
follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s7/help/bloat-free-firmware-930u-tried-t3428974
I rooted the phone caused more problems then it helped. Downloaded "official" firmware from december and used odin to flash it.
Now suddenly i dont have an update option in my settings menu anymore for software or prl updatw
Wat i do?
Come on there gotta be a way to ficmx this cant even use dialer codes now.
Nevermind
I had update option on my s7 edge just above about phone option.
I decided to root my phone so i could mod gamrs and use gltools to attempt to play nvidia shield games on my phone. Root method screwed up my data connection and wouldnt save my wifi info after reboot so i removed the root and reflashed stock firmware pl6 or whatever with odin
Now i dont have an update option anymore. Cannot update prl. Profile. Software updates and no longer have activation option on menu so im ****ed.
What can i do?
Got firmware from here edge/how-to/firmware-g935p-pe1-official-sprint
Nevermind
Hello, while I was trying to root my phone with engboot, my phone was bricked, and I restored it to 6.0.1 from 7.0 via Odin. I used the trick that allowed you to use hotspot on 6.0.1, and it worked. But then, the OTA's began rolling in. My phone upgraded to 7.0. I tried my luck to see if package disabler pro was still working, and it was. It still said that "tetheringprovision.apk" was disabled. So I tried hotspot and it worked.
For any questions, PM me
I can send you the file links to restore your phone back to!
Thanks
I will post screenshots soon!
Hey guys, This is still working with the new security update!
Mobile hotspot not working
Hello, I have a galaxy s7 active running android 7.0 on freedom pop. It's 8gb data / month for almost $40
I want to turn it into a mobile hotspot for my chrome cast. Freedom pop said tethering is allowed on that plan. I'm running on AT&T towers. When i turn on mobile hotspot it says verifying... There is a temporary network problem.
I tried netshare, pdanet+, and foxfi. None of them worked.
I also tried setting up a VPN but apparently chrome cast has to have internet
