S Finder Emergency Update - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Has anybody gotten this message/update? Is it safe to update with root?

Yes - I had this too and updated. But I suddenly thought that it didn't seem quite normal

Update just seems strange and I couldn't find anything on the web.

Any news on this yet?
I've just had this flash up on my screen but cancelled it as it didn't look right.

Just checked and it shows in my task manager as a Samsung Apps notice but when I open the Samsung Apps app it disappeared and does not show in Notifications. Very strange, I would proceed with caution until you know for sure that it's an official update​

Same issue here, cancelled for now. Not sure about this...

Still have the window up on my screen, not able to find any information on the matter online.
edit: Seems legit, since "Samsung Apps" is running the service/process (EUpdateService) (?)

I too have this on galaxy s5 I've emailed Samsung support for advice will post their response.

I'm guessing it's legit. I cancelled it to check which version I currently have and it's 1.0. I went to the Samsung Apps app and found this. S Finder 1.3 ready to update.
If anything, I'll update from Samsung Apps instead of this emergency message thing.

Just did the same as rawrfische took me from ver 1.0 to ver 2.2 don't seem to be getting pop-up anymore

Thanks guys

Ditto. Updated to 1.3 from Samsung apps. Got to say Samsung need to make these update messages a lot more clearly identified as coming from them than that update screen.
Thanks guys :good:

Funny thing is that I cannot find S Finder anywhere in my Apps drawer but i can access it by holding down the menu button. I am rooted but didn't freeze it. I hope that updating it doesn't affect root.

How come everyone seems to be offered ver 1.3 not ver 2.2 as I was offered?

S Finder Update
I *hope* this is the correction to the S Finder search issues that I've encountered since the kitkat update. I absolutely loved s finder because it could search both my phone and other apps, most importantly, Evernote, with a single menu button click. since the update to kitkat, it has no longer been able to search Evernote or any of the other apps. I have posted about this problem at least three forums for Android, as well as the Evernote forum, but have gotten no meaningful responses to date. Fingers crossed!
I'm on AT&T NOTE 3 un Maryland but have not gotten the update as yet. Anyone have any other info re rollout timing?

[Q] ISC) Got an email from Google after installing ICS Beta 3!!!

Since my post count is so low I have to start a new thread for this, sorry about that.
I just installed the ICS Beta III
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343361
A half hour later or so I get an email from Google 'Welcoming me to my Galaxy Nexus'.
Has this happened to anyone else???
Did you happen to wander into the about section and click on system updates?

Nope, I flashed the ROM then downloaded a couple of apps from the Market as I was doing that I got the email.
All the links go to Google. I am just wondering is it something buried in the ICS code. Once you log on with your Google account it sends out a standard email to the account.
I don't really want to bother any of the dev's with it. They have enough to worry about right now without someone hassling them about something that is not that important in the grander sceme of things.
It's because the galaxy nexus is the only ICS Device with release codes for market so far. That will disappear once a more similar HTC device is released with ICS and we have a broader selection of release codes to choose from. Earlier beta's ran on test codes. They can be changed in build.prop.
Cheers man. I just could not understand it since it did not happen when I flashed the 1st and 2nd beta roms.
Thanks for posting this MrBC I also got this email and was curious about it.
I got this email as well MrBC...
Of course they can track what ROM use are using to browse android market. For example, I have recently update to Android revolution 2.3.5 and now not able to install few app which I used to have earlier on stock ROM 2.3.4.
I also got this
just ignore it lol
what i wondered was if it thinks we have a nexus why can we still not see some android apps lol
It's still beta so there are plenty of bugs. Its possible that there is a framework bug, or some component is missing. Then there is still the fact the a lot of apps on market are listed as not compatible with ICS. I'd expect it to take until 2012 before we have a fully functioning ROM and a fully working market.

[Resolved] Apex 9/24 Update FC's

Don't install the new Apex Launcher update until you've read the long list of reviews posted on the Playstore. *Everyone* is having FC issues. I hope this excellent launcher gets fixed soon.
It seems that the beta version of 1.3 (not available on the Playstore) was working fine for everyone, but the release version is apparently seriously broken. So until it's repaired, which will probably be soon, it's best to take a pass on the update.
Edit: See message #6 for a link to the working beta if you need it. (Thank you, jaidenwarren). The beta does work with the Pro license if you have it.
Edit 2: Reviews are now saying that the FC problem has been fixed.
Thanks for the heads up. But I recommend everyone uses beta version. Never any issues with them.

Yep, took down both Nexus phones here, one running JB and one running ICS. Luckily I had a backup on my JB one, my partner's phone wasn't so lucky.
Anyone having the force closes just reinstall the beta version if you were on one.

Well, I'm sure the Apex developer has woken up to a nightmare scenario this morning. I'm a little surprised that the Playstore page hasn't at least reverted to the old version until the new one is fixed. Must have his hands full at the moment.
If, like me, you have Apex set up as the default launcher and stock launcher removed, the update can sort of soft-brick your phone. I had to restore a nandroid to get my phone back, like some others.

You can adb push a launcher into /system/app/ and it'll ask you what launcher you want to use.

And the version pushed out to the Play Store is newer than beta6.
That is why you always read the comments before updating an app

Just checked and apparently the broken Apex update has been fixed. At least that's what the reviews are saying now. Haven't tested it personally. Incidentally, it now wants more permissions (read call log).
Take a look at the one-star-review bar on the Apex Playstore page. It jumped from nearly invisible to very substantial overnight! Every dev's nightmare.
I can confirm that the latest version in the Play Store is now working.
it's been fixed and is now smoother than ever!
OK, thanks, guys.
That was pretty fast work by the Apex dev(s). About 12 hours from broken to fixed. Not bad.
Yeah, the update this morning killed it for me but the update I got later today made it all better
Don't update using the web downloader just tried it and every time I tried to go to home it fc. Then I updated on Google play and it fixed it.

Thanks for the heads up! :highfive:
I for one do not use NFC and rarely scan QR... But hopefully Samsung will take action on this security hole and patch it up ASAP, probably forcing them to send out JB sooner to the US variants together with the patch :fingers-crossed:
This can apparently be triggered by clicking a link on a malicious page too, not just NFC or QR codes. Not good.
However, from what I can see reading about this in a number of places, you're only susceptible if you're running TouchWiz... someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this is a TouchWiz vulnerability really.
The thing I'm NOT 100% sure about is if you have to be RUNNING TouchWiz or if it can still be exploited if you're using a different launcher but still have TouchWiz installed.
---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------
Hmm, reading further, I guess I'm not sure what they mean when they say "TouchWiz"... do they mean just the launcher or are the changes Samsung made to Android, aside from the launcher, considered TouchWiz too? In which case what launcher you're using may not matter, you are at risk of this exploit either way. Not sure, although now I'm thinking launcher DOESN'T matter. Anyone?

I believe they are referring in some point to the TW dialer, since they mention a dial code that is present in AOSP dialer and the user can simply cancel before it goes out, in the case of TW dialer it automatically goes through without the ability to cancel at all. Scary stuff!
"Only Samsung devices running TouchWiz appear to be affected, with basic Android only showing the code in the dialer screen but not running it automatically, Pau Oliva reports. Samsung’s default, though, is to dial the code automatically."
I think the article needs a bit more detail...

Not launcher. TW rom. As long as you are on a TW rom your susceptible. Aokp, aosp, etc won't work. You pretty much have to be able to use dialer codes because that's how it wipes your data, it automatically puts in the wipe data code

Yeah, I thought it might have just been TW launcher at first but after reading things a bit more I got what you said too... that's not cool
Problem was reported by a dev on Twitter to SamsungCarla and she escalated it to security unit.
So, according to AndroidPolice:
The bug is based in the stock Android browser, is in fact quite old, and has been patched in more recent builds of Android - this is probably why Nexus devices running the most recent OTAs are unaffected. The fact is, this is not a Samsung problem, it's an old Android problem that has been known about for some time. More recent versions of Android avoid the wipe issue, but unpatched devices (like some Samsung phones) may still be vulnerable.

That's interesting because it says to me that just disabling the default browser, as I've done since I use others, should avoid the issue... that'd be my conjecture anyway... but I'm NOT willing to test
Plus, that link also has an update saying the latest OTA for the GSIII don't suffer this problem... but that's a pretty nebulous statement, vis a vis, does it mean the latest Sprint OTA for example, or does it mean the GB for international models that started rolling out in Poland?
You're definitely right, the true story seems to be something we're still waiting on
On android police they also say that the AT&T doesn't have it, it got patched last week. Maybe LI3 fixed this.

Yup, according to Engadget:
If you were worried about stumbling onto a malicious website and accidentally wiping your Samsung Galaxy S III or other TouchWiz smartphone or slate, you can probably breathe easy. It's likely you already have firmware on your device which isn't vulnerable to the so-called dirty USSD code, and if not, you can download it now, according to Samsung. The company issued the following statement on the matter: "We would like to assure our customers that the recent security issue concerning the Galaxy S III has already been resolved through a software update. We recommend all Galaxy S III customers download the latest software update, which can be done quickly and easily via the Over-The-Air (OTA) service." It turns out we couldn't reproduce the bug earlier as we already had the latest update, and you should probably check to see that you do, as well. Meanwhile, we're also checking to see if other Touchwiz devices have been patched, so don't forget to watch what you click.

unfortunately must agree with you..at least we can found a dev to build cm13 for us...
The 6.0.1 firmware does appear in SamMobile’s Firmware page, but it is not available through FOTA or Smart Switch.
Korean media says the reason for stopping Marshmallow update is because of an error in Instagram app (as stated in here http://post.mk.co.kr/archives/24557 ). Apparently, Instagram is using some system files that Google has restricted, and this is causing crashes when scrolling. Samsung has contacted Instagram about this issue and will resume the update process when everything is solved.
According to Samsung customer service, Instagram in Marshmellow do not working. Because Instagram uses file which google restricted, so scroll problem in Instagram app.
Samsung requested urgently Instagram to revice app. This is the end of samsung reply.

I think they are trying to slim software size for the new features on the 7...so they gut out apps they feel are unnecessary. I could be wrong though.

As soon as the update comes, We can install the new version. Way to go, with the reviews and complaints to Samsung!
So the updated sketchbook comes with all the tools and brushes as the older versions except for the Note 3 version which came with some extras like the log and leaves brush tool as well as all the little people. The new update has the option to buy pro tools for 4.99 but so far I have everything working (I did not activate the free trial, I bypassed straight to the main screen). I am going to keep playing with it just to see if functionality becomes limited after trial period (just in case it activated trial anyways). Maybe the pro tools is a whole different set that aren't included in older versions. The app did force close a couple of times when I was trying to use a smudge tool over a spot that I had already smudged 4 times...
If anyone wants the 2.9.2 version that came with the Note 3 PM me and I'll send it to ya (in case you liked the leaves, logs, and peeps).

just wait a short time then go to playstore and look at your apps and you will see beta on the right... if it's available in your part of the world.. you can download
It shows, just says not compatible
They have the most recent beta on Aptoide. My phone shows not compatible for some bizarre reason but I had no trouble using the beta.
I haven't put it through all the paces yet. It converts all your Action Memos to normal notes at start up so if that bothers you for some reason don't run it. It seems to have some other enhancements with organization but still no Action Memo, tapping for note etc. I really wish we could get some feedback from Samsung about what the goal is here, why it is the arguably most popular feature is removed.
The beta notes about what is added by installing the extensions from within the app are completely inaccurate.
update: I actually think the note and folder tools are great. Some real mprovement with organization and fluidity of adding some things to notes. Just add back action memos!
