[Q] Device Manager - persistent notification? how disable? - Verizon HTC One (M7)

I'm new to the HTC One section -- visiting to check on an issue for my son who just got his One a month ago. Apologies if this has already been discussed in another thread -- I searched and didn't see anything about this.
My son noticed that there's now a persistent notification (on the notification shade, of course) that indicates that Device Manager is running. I've never seen this on my other devices with Android Device Manager running -- not on my LG G2, Galaxy Nexus, Moto X's (wife and daughter), Nexus 7's or Nexus 10. Just on the HTC One, and just in the last day or so (probably right after a recent update).
The notification can't be swiped away, and I don't see any options in the app itself to turn notifications on/off. We'd really like to be able to turn this off if possible.
Any ideas / suggestions most appreciated.

I had this issue when I manually updated to the latest 4.3 OTA .. If thats what happened here then this worked for me:
Go to settings
Software Update
Check new
It should ask to install update, say "Install Now"
That should fail, because you are already on the latest OTA

'AT&T Software Update' question

(Outside of the major network issue I'm having).....a few weeks back I tried the "AT&T Software Update" icon under settings. It gave me the message "A Recommended device management task from mdm.mycingular.net/opm/ht/omadm/dm is available to maintain your device. Do you want to connect to begin?"
I tried 'yes' with nothing having happened after a quick download. I went back into the update icon expecting to see a different option, only to find the same thing.
Either it never updated, or failed somehow, or the whole update section is flawed. Anyone else? I'm more curious at this point, wondering if this did anything to my phone (though being a few weeks back, am hoping it didn't have any effect on my current data issues)

HELP

Hi I just switched from att pure to the slide and I've been using xda for quite a while but I noticed in the users manuel it says u can ota update but when I go to where it says there is bno update option
When updates are available they will be pushed to your phone automatically, and you will receive a notification in the tray to update. (or a quick launch box will pop up asking "ok")
In the past, I have woken up to a tasty donut update, and thats what I expect for froyo. So just wait patiently.
The old OS had an option under settings>about phone>check for updates. But you will always get the push first, it is as instant as email. I guess its fun to check every day and verify no update is available, but its not necessary. (I used to do it on my Nexus One constantly)

Kevo stopped working, but there is a workaround

Mates,
I don't know if the Kevo/Kwikset app folks are dumb, lazy or if there is some fee they have to pay to support new phones, but hear my tale of woe, with a happy ending (a minstrel on a mandolin is playing in the background as you read this).
I put Kevo locks everywhere when they first came out with android support. When they work, it is one less key I have to carry, one more thing my everpresent phone can do. They were announced as partners for the Gear S2 which, as we all know, is bull. The tech writers who said it worked were clearly Samsung lapdogs.
The Kevo website says that the app won't work on the Galaxy S7 edge but it did. Right from the start, right out of the gate. Then T-Mobile rolled out a patch last week and it stopped. Nothing. Bupkus. Google Play says the app is not supported by my device.
A little bit of searching led to the actual newest Kevo apk. I downloaded it, deleted the old app, installed it and voila! Back in business. The new version supports remote open and close, which I haven't checked yet- I bought an upgraded lock but it isn't installed.
So, there you have it. I have no idea why Kevo/Kwikset/Unikey didn't test with the newest phones, why they don't know it works or whatever. Their developers are much more interested in supporting iOS and the sheeple that use it, but it will work for us too!
where did you find the latest? i looked for almost 2 hours and the best i could come up with was the 0.99 beta in the google groups. had to sideload an app that lets you change your device to trick Play into letting you install it.
Googled Android kevo apk, found version 1.2.57.2p everywhere. I presumed that was the latest since it has the remote buttons on it.
yeah i saw those results as well, but none of the apk downloaders worked for me. several even said their 'device' was incompatible, which was the same problem i was having.
I'm in the same boat. I have an S7 Edge and while kevo still works with just the proximity and tap lock to open...I've never been able to get the tap to unlock/lock work. Even on my moto360 (gen1) kevo force closes non stop. Another problem I had was my old S5 was on Lollipop and it worked, but then Tmo rolled out the update to MM and now it doesn't even see the lock. I've had multiple emails to Kevo and the only thing I get is that "We're sorry, we have no plans to support MM".
If you got anything to help out with Kevo working on Marshmallow, then I'd appreciate it as well!
I might be a little late on the the subject but I had the Kevo app since the beginning from my Note 4 on KK all the way up to My Note 5 on MM. I rarely use my Moto 360 (1) to open the door but this time I did and the watch went haywire and kept showing a notification indicating that the app is no longer working. So I decided to uninstall the Kevo app and then proceeded to sync the watch and phone, stopping the annoying notification. When I went to the app store to reinstall I found the "phone not compatible"..
Well, decided to sideload to have the Kevo app to look and work the same way I had it before.. after several attempts I figured it out. 1st sideload the Kevo 0.9.58p apk, sign in, then sideload the updated version 1.2.57.2p and it will finally look and feel like the updated one on Lollipop. Sefar is right, why the devs were so lazy in checking for compatibility is beyond me but it works.!!

Question Carrier Hub Processing Requests - Constant Notification Since Update

I just updated to the new T-mobile October update today and ever since then, I have a constant notification from "Carrier Hub" that says "Processing requests" and "MCM Client requests are processing...". My research shows this is a Sprint app, and I am a Sprint customer, but this SIM is a T-mobile SIM because it is all becoming T-mobile and the Sprint network is being shut down in January. It won't allow me to uninstall the app. Before the update, I would occasionally see the notification for a second or two before it went away, but now this is constant. It can't be swiped away. I can tell it to not give notifications, but since it can't be found in Settings or apps, in the future I won't be able to undo that setting. It seems to say it isn't using up battery, thankfully, but I don't know why it isn't processing whatever requests. Seems like there have been these issues with it for over a year on others' phones.
Anyone else have this issue after the new update? Anyone know how to fix it? (A factory reset is NOT an option.)

I'm on T-Mobile and have the same issue. I disabled the carrier hub service notification and that stopped the notification from appearing. I am able to access the app when I enable "show system apps" from the filter and sort menu of the apps menu under settings.

Thank you!! I just disabled the notification. Thankfully, it still says it has used 0% battery after running for 6 hrs. 45 min., so it doesn't affect battery life somehow, but I don't know if affects our signal or what.

Hopefully it gets sorted out with the next update. I'm not going to worry about it for now as it doesn't seem to be affecting anything. Just happy to get rid of the annoying notification.
I was able to turn it off in the developer options last night and this morning it came on again. What gives?

I turned it off as described in my previous post and it has not returned. Not sure why the developer options route did not work but might want to give it a try and see if it sticks. Hopefully a future firmware update or service provider configuration update fixes it.
I went into the apps and turned it off. Hopefully it sticks. Thanks
Mine normally clears after I let it sit for a couple hours and then reboot.
I don't want to just turn off the notification because then it'll be doing something but I just won't see it. I want it to just stop running. I tried to force stop and that worked for about a day then it came back. Anyone got any updates on this yet?
No update yet. I'm leaving the service notification off until the next update, then I'll turn it back on and see if the issue has been resolved.

I am fine with turning the notification off because it doesn't drain the battery, but maybe you can try downloading the T-mobile version of the app from the Play Store and see if it works and fixes the problem?

Question No updates in playstore

Anyone else having issues with apps not updating in the play store? If so, any fixes? I'm on P6P and latest update.
I have not had the issue. I happened to manually check yesterday and the Play Store was already in the process of updating three apps that needed it. Have you tried rebooting?
I have the same issue. I usually force close and clear cache for the Play Store and then updates appear.
I feel like having less updates than usual but I'm thinking it can be related with the holidays. Probably developer teams are reduced due holidays and the remaining ones don't want to be working extra hours on hotfixes hahaha

Correct. Like everyone else, holidays = vacation & time off !
Yeah noticed this too, hardly any app updates over the past couple of weeks, assuming developers have slowed down.
It does seem like fewer updates... Android 12?
Yeah nothing much

I speak from experience, during these days I am the only one of my team that has been left to defend the fort hahaha. My only goal right now is to keep everything up and running, no new features

Do you refer to
a) you get no updates in general (right now)?
b) you get updates shown as available, but the system does not successfully automatically update them without your input?
A. That's because we just came out of christmas holidays. Most firms have closed/are running on low staff. There are no updates, because there are no updates.
B. That's a "common" problem and in 96% of the cases it's caused by singular apps being marked as "no auto update" - to check this, you have to go into
-> Open Play Store
-> Click on your profile (upper right corner, your GProfile icon)
-> Manage Apps & device
-> Manage
-> Click on any app
-> Click on three dots (upper right corner)
-> Check if "Enable auto update" is checked
For some stupid reason, backups can mess this up - and sometimes if even only 1 (!) app has been flagged as "no auto update", it will halt the entire update process.
And no, there is no easy way to streamline all apps as "auto update" - you will have to MANUALLY go through every app in that menu to find the culprit.
One of the things Google made worse over the years...

From Android 4 i have not been able to auto update from play store(can't remember what it was called back then) and today still not able to.
there were so many updates in December (on the play store). I know because I check daily, and there was a ton. let the devs rest for a few weeks.
It's not about vacations etc. I just did a force close and clear cache one minute ago and boom....3 updates appeared.
"Notify when updates are available for apps " is the issue for me. I don't use auto update for apps, never have on any phone.

Of the three profiles on my up-to-date Pixel 4 XL, the third one stopped getting updates to the installed apps in that profile, i.e. any update notifications or manual check for updates in the Play Store failed to pick up updates to most or or all of the apps unique to that profile.
I can't tell when this behaviour started, but it must have been some weeks ago. Going each app in the Play Store showed updates and noted that I was running a beta version (which was correct), but to update required updating to a non-beta then (re)joining the beta. Subsequently these apps have received updates via notification and check for updates in the Play Store.
