Verizon automatically installing apps daily - Verizon Note 7 Questions & Answers

Is anyone else noticing apps being installed on your device daily? I'm having about 1-2 apps per day the last 2 days installed... All games. One of them I wasn't aware of and I searched for it on Google and it said it was a Verizon app (I've already uninstalled it and don't remember the exact name). I just now uninstalled a casino game that wasn't there a couple hours ago.
Edit:. Go90 was one of the apps

I thought this was the DT Ignite. http://www.androidauthority.com/carriers-install-bloatware-without-permission-571052/
Disable it with package disabler or debloater tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-note-7/how-to/debloater-tool-t3444840

it's dt-ignite...you can disable it from the application settings

I got 4 apps with the last security update. They weren't system apps, thank god. This has been in the news, they are being paid to add them. To get real money they are going to have to be system apps. I could definitely see it happening.

yes this is insane!!

Strange!
DT Ignite is only supposed to install apps on a reset of the phone. I have never had it add anything to my phone. Nor any other Verizon phones I had.
See official statement from VZW here: https://9to5google.com/2016/05/09/verizon-dt-ignite-galaxy-s7-statement/
Maybe the app is freaking out. The good news is you can use the built in Application manager to disable it.

Thanks! DT Ignite was on there... its disabled now. Really upsets me VZ has the nerve to do this.

Same issue here. There were like 5 apps on my phone today that weren't there a couple days ago.... Go90, Mobile Strike, several others...

[INFO][Discussion][Screenshots] JB FL04!!!

Who's ready for some FL04?
First things first. We do NOT yet have permission from our source to release the full build.
We do have permission to post screenshots and our findings.
We're hoping to get permission to at least post the kernel and modem for everyone here shortly. If we get permission the kernel and modem will be found here.
If and when we do receive permission to release the full build it will also be posted here.
In the meantime we will try to test everything we can possibly think of and post the results here. We'll update as we find more.
Please feel free to ask questions! We'll answer all that we can (except for the, "Can you sneak me a copy early" question ).
Proceed to Post 2 for findings and Post 3 for screenshots.
Enjoy!
Findings so far:
Internal Storage still wiped...
A few system apps come as 4.1.2 but you are immediately prompted to update to 4.2.1 from the Play Store!
Connections Optimizer still defaults to on. For instructions on turning it off watch this video.
More testing to come!

			
				
I'm ready, although the deodexed FK23 with a couple of mods is running very nice for me..

I read that ppl had many good experiences with fk23, I wonder if this means we are really close to an OTA

Yeah, other than data wiping, I don't know what else they could really fix. FK23 is extremely stable.
Just looking through the apps and it looks like a few system apps come as 4.1.2 but you are immediately prompted to update to 4.2.1 from the Play Store!

Any other changes you see? Is the keyboard more precise?

@tdunham Stock file browser now displays both External and Internal storage but still sorts funky. Upon closer inspection the default sort is by time with most recent at the top. There is now a sort option (don't remember if it was there previously) so you can change the sort to alphabetical and so forth. You also have the ability to change the directories for where it looks for images, video, music and documents.
Still haven't put ES on to test it out.

Not necessarily. A lot of times there will be multiple RDF's all around the same time because Samsung/Sprint are considering multiple builds for the OTA. It happened with FI25 and FI27 too. We already know that there are several potential candidates for OTA with FK23 and FI04 being on the list. Maybe FI07 is another?

Facebook build 140579 download not working

My tmous s3 keeps trying to download Facebook (build 140579). Play store doesn't even show an update available for Facebook and it's just draining my battery. What is this and how do I stop it?

Same here
I've got the same problem. I force close it and it just starts right back up? WTH?

Firstly, this belongs in the Q&A section. Secondly, try to uninstall the app then reinstall through the play store.
Sorry, if a mod could move it that would be great. I did reinstall it, still tries to download. I can force stop it by force stopping downloads, but as soon as anything else starts downloading it just restarts the attempted download of Facebook too.

That's odd. Try breaking the market link via rom toolbox.
Go into app manager and long press on Facebook to get the option.

I'm seeing this on my droid RAZR m as well. Its Verizon, I'm wondering if this is carrier specific. Still trying to to figure out how to make it go away. I don't have FB at all.
Is just an internal fb update.... Facebook 2.3
I saw it earlier and got a lil worry so i looked it up and found this forum!!! so i did what i read... Open download manager and then go to other downloads you should see it here just send it to trash and it fixed it! but then i my sister showed me the same thing and we just waited, finally it downloaded all of it (around 15 MB) and gave her a facebook update screen! saying it was a new version (facebook 2.3) that enables you to mark as spam posts and other stuff!!! NOW i feel like a [email protected] for reading about it and erasing it... hope it comes back on the market as a regular update and that some of you read this and just be patient! :fingers-crossed: GOOD LUCK AND IF SOMEBODY HAS A APK VERSION OF IT ALREADY PLS REPOST! THANX

I did the same! to sadly find out it was an update... now i dont see a way of getting it back
This happened to me too and just deleted the download in progress. I then updated the FB app in the play store. I don't know why FB is trying to update the app without going through the play store. I almost did a hard reset too.

I had the same problem . I yesterday externally installed Swype kepboard and this problem seems to have arised since then. Not sure however if i can directly blame this on the Swype. Anyways, one sure thing is that this download is unlikely to be a genuine facebook update & its more likely to be a spyware of some kind.
This is what i did & it seems to have stopped popping up since then. Hold the Download till u get an "App Info" option. Then click disable instead of Force stop. It has'nt restarted for me since then .

From your Browser, open the menu and select Download.
BTW, I also couldn't find a link to Download on my Spectrum but I do have it on my Transformer Prime, so maybe something that LG left out.

The scary thing here is it really is a genuine facebook update; see the links I have included below. They are going around the Play store for this and future updates. Which is scary enough on its own because a smart hacker could mimic this in the near future to inject malware. Also, in my case the update failed and now I can't use the version from the play store or this one.
I have complained to Google play about this because they are violation the developer terms; I also provided "feedback" to Facebook! I would recommend others complain to both also to let them know how their customers feel.

google now useless?

Alright guys here what's going on.
First I just want to say thanks in advance for any and all suggestions or rods on this matter second I have been doing independent searches for over a week now to try and get this working.
Ok. My Google now cards will not... Will not update at all when using my phone. The only time it will predict my interests and come up with suggestions for things I've searched for is if I use internet explorer on my desktop. Which doesn't make sense to me since that uses bing as its agent. Not Google.
This is a problem for me because one Google now is useless to me since my wife is on the computer most of the time and I have no interests in what she searches for.
How do I get my cards to update based on my usage on my phone which is 99% of my usage.. It is so frustrating that none of my appointments or searches or packages or anything show up. Believe me all web access and history is checked and all options for notifications are checked. I have wiped all data and cleared all search history several times.
Anyone got Google now working the way it should or must I only use it for current weather and traffic to home?
Enable search history and you will slowly see useful updates.

Any apps like "secure folder"?

Gonna miss that app on the Note 7. Is there any third party apps that work the same?
Sent from my KIW-L24 using Tapatalk
No i looked t'other day. There are for pics etc but not for apps.
Samsung Knox works the same and is available for most recent Samsung phones (but not older ones).
Beyond that, you are looking at apps that will simply lock an app but won't hide it. Something like Norton App Lock. Not as good, but better than nothing.
Unfortunately, I found Norton App Lock wouldn't work with LastPass, so that was a bit of a problem for me.
try this...

NSeven ROM by @chevyrhoads

The purpose of this thread will be to allow the OP of NSeven ROM to be cleaned up. Bugs and problems will be posted here along with any fixes or answers. As always, the goal is to help each other make this the most stable ROM for the Note 4. I will do my best to go through the OP and pull out each concern and the fix, or the best answer.
Alright folks, I received an update from @chevyrhoads, here is a link to the new website and build of NSeven!
https://chevyrhoads.wixsite.com/nseven
We will still use this thread for issues and troubleshooting.
Reserved #2
Reserved #3
Google Duo, no audio for me. I can be heard but can't hear the other end. That is all.
I've noticed that if I flash and nothing else, it runs hot and has huge battery drain. If I then flash xceed kernel it runs cooler with less drain, but I lose root. If I then flash supersu I regain root but again have high temps and battery drain. Think I'll go back to build 2 until this is sorted out.
Does this rom has fast charger? And how I can get rid of the New version of exposed installer is available?

There are not 3minute battery mod That works with this rom?
I'm on version 3.5. All is working well except my apps will not update via Google play. Error code 419. I take it it's the same Play services bug the good folks are working on. I am very grateful for their work.
V4 is awesome all around. Google Duo works, YouTube doesn't lag, Playstore works, no battery drain. Great work Chevy!

Setting, wallpapers and themes.. From there you choose where you want the wallpaper or picture.
Few non important issues, they I'm wondering if anyone figured out.
One being the screen overlay stuff? Can't edit some permissions due to screen overlay?
Another is the connected to network name'' [email protected]#$ '' or something.
Think that's it, just minor cosmetic ones I can't get to go away that are messing with my OCD.

I have tried to use the Amazon Prime Video app from the Samsung Galaxy App store, and I can't get to the sign in page. The screen is black with a green button that displays on the bottom for about one second, then immediately goes white, and no other input is possible? Does this app have root checking on it?
This happens on build 2 and 3. Has anyone tried this app on build 4? I haven't upgraded yet.
Great rom! Thank you chevy, we are all so grateful. It's buttery smooth and overall amazing how you accomplished this rom.
The only issue I've have encountered is with android auto and my 2016 civic. I've tried multiple cables, multiple versions of AA (AA still works on my other phones moto G4 and moto e), but can't get it to work with my note 4 running this rom. Anybody have any ideas? Thank you.
Edit: solved thanks to LumberjackZac
"First you have to have Android auto installed from the play store and open it up. It does a bunch of updates and BS then when you connect your phone via USB cable, go to NSeven settings, USB and hardware then set the USB connection to mtp for Android auto to recognize your phone"
