All of a sudden I am getting pop up even on home screen and I have my adaway app enabled. I have deleted most of my user apps and still no solution
Turns out there was a virus threat on my device.
Eliminated with Kaspersky Internet Security

Here is a fix for apps such as Weather (Bing) or cut the rope not working. this also fixed me not being able to add my Exchange account. I found this on the Microsoft forums and now every app works.
Slide the Start Charm bar out on the right side. press settings. Click change PC settings. In the list click on Ease of Access. Turn off Tab through webpages using caret browsing.
Immediately all my apps that were closing as soon as i opened them started to work and it accepted my exchange account.
I hope this helps anyone having this issue.
Hi All,
I recently updated to MH8. However, i received a request to do a security policy update. I click okay it attempts then says "update failed due to network issues". Despite me having full wifi connection (also tried using network data).
Any ideas? Since the update UCCW also fails to load due to what I presume were the updates to samsung's no longer permissive SELinux.
Same issue here, Also, twitter and whatsapp apps are not working after MH8 update.
Anyone any fix?

If you get the security privacy update failed and cannot connect to the server, check the apps you have and uninstall the ones that could stop any other app's processes or services. Here is a quick solution:
1. Uninstall the app that ceases to function like Whatsapp, Twitter... etc).
2. Uninstall the apps that manage RAM or Control Processes like : "Task Manager".
3. Reboot your device.
4. Install fresh copy of Whatsapp or Twitter (or the app that previously had the issue).
5. Reboot again.
Now the Security Privacy Issue icon should disappear from the top bar.
You can live happy with Enforcing if you don't plan to root the device, otherwise you have to wait for a workaround or solution for that in XDA.
Surely, the latest update did nothing but to turn SELinux to Enforcing. This was a lesson to all of you and me too and all people who accept the licenses and updates without reading and doing their own research
Regards
I've looked around and seems that in the UK it's a significant issue as the networks haven't been set up to deal with it.

I want to turn off the lock screen, not even swipe, but there is no "none" option in Security settings. Originally, my phone was an Amazon ads phone, but I paid the $50 to get rid of ads (spent hours trying to remove using debloater tool from this website but hit brick wall). I thought maybe that was what was preventing the "none" lock screen option, but I still don't see it. I have Android 6.0.1.
Any suggestions? Does anyone who has an Amazon phone (with or without ads) see the "none" option in Security settings for lock screen? (with Android 6.0.1+)
Thanks!
I believe the issue you are experiencing is related to the presence of a guest account. On older versions of the g if there was a guest account the none option for the screenlock disappeared. I just tried to disable the guest account on my prime g4, but don't see a way to actually remove the account.
I can't seem to figure out how to remove/disable the guest user account...

Unless you're rooted I don't believe you can remove it.

DNS66 works well, just remember to go to Chrome://flags on chrome on your phone and search for async and disable it, then install DNS66 and voila, no ads anywhere, you can bypass the vpn created for individual apps in the DNS66 apps tab, or just select bypass system apps except for browsers in the settings on DNS66.
You can use PrivateDNS which is an Android 9 feature to get rid of Advertisements system-wide.
Go to Settings -> Connections -> More Connection Settings -> Private DNS -> Enable " Private DNS provider hostname " -> Type " dns.adguard.com " without quotes
This should solve your problem of ads popping.
Do tell us if this solves your problem.
Phone screen just flickers on and off when I get FB notifications. Seems like a glitch.
When this happens, is the phone in vibration mode? Other possibility is that you may have set a screen passcode recently and in the process also enabled hide sensitive notifications and it is possible that it may be interfering for phone to wake up on certain notifications. Are the FB messages from messenger present when you do wake the screen or do they show up right after you wake up the screen? You may have changed the phone sync settings or if you have enabled power saving mode, phone may not be checking for notifications from certain apps or in intervals or both, or if you or another app have disabled facebook messenger from syncing or changed background data settings (for example datally is an app from google helps save data if you don't have unlimited plan but in the process it disables most apps from connecting to internet by default).
I would suggest go in settings, then apps, then tap on three dots on top right, enable 'show system apps', then look for any apps related to facebook, click on each one go to 'storage' then 'clear data'. Make sure you do this for all of them before you go back into FB or messenger. You will have to log in FB again and it is quite possible that this will fix the issue if settings were the cause. (Edit: Try uninstall and reinstall the app). If it doesn't work, and you have checked through all the possibilities above, you may have to do a factory reset, setup the phone again and reinstall FB and Messenger app first then install a few apps at a time to try and catch any apps that might be responsible. One last possibility that i can think of is that it is also possible a recent update to the app by FB may have caused this bug instead of you or your phone.

That's an interesting point you make, because the phone is doing just that - The phone isn't actually vibrating until I hit the screen and wake it. So they're essentially showing up right after I wake the screen. This is despite the fact that the message was sent minutes beforehand, so it would've been received by all accounts. Appreciate the help!

Very likely you have the Battery saver feature turned on. When it is on, among other things, the background activity and data of apps get restricted. I am very sure that this is the cause for the issue you are having. You can either turn off Battery saver mode or add FB Messenger to the Power saving exclusions list to get your FB push notifications back.
Appreciate all the help man!
Great thank you!
