Spammy popup messages about apps stopping? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

So I restarted my rooted S7 Edge earlier (no big deal right) and upon unlocking the device after restart I started getting spammy popups alerting me that Health Services have stopped, and an option to Close app or send feedback. Neither option really did anything. So I finally managed to disable Samsung Health with these spammy popups appearing like 5/sec. Now I don't get quite as many spammy popups but now one appears for chrome and Bluetooth, which means chrome and Bluetooth are unusable. Anyone have any idea what is going on? I can't find anything on the interwebs about this problem. I didn't install anything new or change anything recently so I'm really confused.
Edit: It seems as time goes on more stuff is starting to stop. Now I'm getting Nearby Services and other apps that are closing.

Lag, Task Manager and Settings Freezing up, Connectivity issues

I just got my white 16gb yesterday afternoon. I've been experiencing lag since the first minute (scrolling through the market, flipping through pages of the home screen, etc.). After downloading some of my apps, every time i open up the Task Manager or App manager i get a "Unfortunately, Task Manager has stopped" or "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" message after a few seconds without touching anything. Went to verizon store this morning, the lady saw the issue and said she had to wipe the phone to reset it to factory settings. After that was done, she said if it happens again, I could come in tomorrow (July 12, actual launch date) and get it replaced with a new one. I asked her if she could reserve one for me (since they will probably be sold out quickly) just incase the problem comes up again, but she told me she couldn't reserve anything :/
Just now while i was downloading some apps from the market, my 4G connection dropped to 1X and all of my downloads gave me errors. I had to disable then re-enable Mobile Data to get it to work again.
Now after installing my apps, the same original problem is occurring. I've only installed a few regular apps (facebook, chrome, evernote, dropbox, etc.) and a few ebooks, but the Task Manager and App Manager in Settings keep freezing up!
Now I'm not so excited about this phone anymore :/
Has anyone been having these problems too? or am I just the unlucky one?
Me too, but not as severe..

I just started experiencing this when ever I open "Manage Applications". I click menu then manage apps or if I go in to menu, system settings, application manager, the manager loads, shows all my apps and within seconds freezes, then black screens and I can't do anything, after a few minutes I get the message that "Unfortunately, system has stopped" then it closes and I get back to the phone fine. I have a lot of apps installed and am rooted but it appears that you are not so I don't know what the heck is going on.
-Sin
EDIT - It's happening when I run root explorer also. I have log viewer light and can filter it down to errors. Appears I am getting some kind of "Out Of Memory" error in the log when ever this happens. Weird. I can't record the log because that crashes everything and dumps me out to the lock screen. I'm not done playing around with it to try and get more answers but I'm beginning to think I'm going to have to flash back to a non-rooted stock, reload all my apps and configs then see if it starts happening again. Just so I can convince myself it's not a root issue regardless of the OP.

Recommended apps popup?

Hey everyone.
This evening my girlfriend updated her apps on her S5 running 5.0 and she kept getting a little popup at the bottom of the screen every time an application finished downloading. This has never happened before, so we're trying to see if it's some sort of malware, or a setting that somehow turned itself on that can be disabled.
Attached is a screenshot of a popup.
Any and all help is appreciated! Thanks!
Did she updated via playstore? This "Installation Dialog" i've never seen before.
Yeah, everything was done with the play store.
After doing a little research, it seems to be linked to GO SMS PRO. I'll have her uninstall it and see if it still happens.
You should download malware detector, I've never seen that before either.
Does it still happen?
That's why I stopped using go sms a couple years ago. They added push notifications to the app.
Had her remove GO SMS and it's no longer happening. I'm glad I switched away from GO SMS a while ago. That's awful.

Force Stop Messages constantly appearing on unmodded S7 Edge

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone else has seen this problem or knows of a fix:
At random times with no intervention, the application info page appears for a (random) app with the force stop dialog in front of it asking me if I want to force stop an app. If I hit cancel it does the same thing again for a different app. It goes through many different apps in an apparently random order and then stops (also for no apparent reason). My phone is unrooted running stock ROM. I have tried many things including clearing the System and App caches changing launcher (I normally use Nova launcher) removing memory card but nothing seems to help.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your help,
Jonathan
Did you use package disabler?
Yes I have package disabler installed. It doesn't seem to make much difference whether all apps are enabled not.

No notifications and other problems with my Nubia Z17

Hello. I recently bought the Nubia Z17, really really happy with it. But there is issues with it which I have tried to solve but haven't suceeded.
The biggest issue:
I do not get notifications constantly, just sometimes. Snapchat, Messenger and Facebook pops up when they want to, but its very rare. Gmail never pops up, and never syncs in the background. I have tried to fix this by changing the settings in the NeoSafe app, but it doesnt want to work.
An annoying issue:
Also, a problem that happens when the phone gets cold. It feels like its pressing the left button by it self, the ''open app-drawer'' pops upp all the time and when i press it down it pops up again. I live in Sweden, and its currently only -5 outside, and China have that weather too, so why is it a problem?
An issue which I can't understand:
Also, I sometimes having trouble downloading apps from Play Store, I have tried to solve this and it is mostly solved by removing cache from the app, but same thing keeps happing after a while.
Anyone got any tips or solutions? I think I have the chinese rom with google services installed. Works great overall, fast, smooth and nice screen. I would like to avoid flash another rom into it or restore it.
Thanks.
i got the same problem on my z17s.... i have to let the app opened in multitask to have the notification, lucky i have 6gb of ram....i tried with neosafe and app settings but still the same...
if you have your phone rooted you can convert the apps (WhatsApp ...) as Systemapp. I did it with LuckyPatcher. With Titaniumbackup works that too. But I have had problems that the app was gone.
Give it a try
Here the same problem with my Z17s ... also tried to enable the apps in the "performance mode" in the power management, also no luck for some apps (although whatsapp works fine).

same problem....
Hi, I also recently got my z17, I was very excited to finally have a "flagship" phone. I encounter the same problem. I have tried everything said here, but what I did kinda worked. So I did a factory reset. Once reset and log in in the google app 1st, and then the play store, I downloaded the apps, but before opening the apps for the 1st time I went directly into the permissions section in settings and allow just about everything, I did the power performance and the network performance, then I opened the apps and I went into the apps settings to allow notifications. Like I said, it kinda work. I don't get FB notifications as often, but I do get gmail.
I had thought that it was a restriction of background data, but apparently is not.
Now, I cannot sync my google calendar with my gmail account in the phone. When I download the app and I open it it has a [email protected] account...and that is not me, I cant change it or anything. Do you know how to fix it?
Check if you have Neo Safe or something named like that. It acts as a security manager for your device. Its also able to block notifications. I think I changed some settings there and then it started to work.

Does someone have problems with "draw over other apps" permission?

.
I've noticed that after Oreo update some apps cannot draw over other apps anymore. Like Google Translate "Tap to Translate" or Nougat/Oreo Quick Settings. Lastpass works fine tho. But if I try to make work this apps, it will tell me I need to go to settings to enable "Draw over other apps" permission for that app. The funny thing is that the permission is already given and switching it on and off, killing the app, restarting the phone, etc doesn't do anything. For the apps is like I never granted the permission and so they don't work as they should.
I'm trying to avoid doing a factory reset, btw.
Anyone else has this problem? Anyone using "tap to translate" of Google Translate ?
Thanks!
.
I'm guessing no one has the problem? xD I guess I'll factory reset then...

I'm having the same issue with twilight and Pokemon calci iv. I just did a factory reboot and when I did I constantly get a pop up that says can't install contents 1-400, so I have to keep it in battery saver mode all the time. It still gets hot like crazy, and do not get the port wet because it detected moisture for days and will intermittently charge and not charge or charge slowly and quick charge. I am hoping another factory reset would do the trick,but idk. These intrinsic obsolescence strategies are how they get you to upgrade to the lg g7
So I did the factory reset. The update error went away the moisture sensor issue went away, the drawing over apps issue went away for 2 days then came back. I cannot use chatheads, pokigenie, twilight, etc. The hell with you LG
