It might be some old game you had before.
I believe you can go ahead and delete it since you said you don't have any game.:thumbup:

Trash it! Odds are if its something needed, it will be re-created and a config will be reset..
If you aren't aying any ganeloft games atm then go ahead and delete it.. It just saved data from a game you once played
I like my Roms the way I like my women..... Clean and smooth
Ok, I'm assuming it was one of those stock games. Either way, gotta clean it up like a lady thanks guys.

I'm wondering if any body is experiencing a notification issue/bug like me. I never receive the push notifications like I'm supposed to. I've noticed this happening with instagram, snap chat, twitter, and Facebook so far.
My brother, who has the same phone, receives notifications from instagram immediately. We're on the same wifi too.
I have no idea what's interfering with my notifications.
Can someone please help?
I've even tried flashing a custom rom and kernel. I think it's one of the things I've restored from titanium backup.
Should I try wiping data? Will it mess with my roms, or just all of the data I have on it (like apps and accounts)?

i am looking for a solution for this as well.
i could narrow the issue down to titanium backup.
wiping the data of the app (via settings not titanium) is enough to get the notifications back. but restoring the data again with tb leads to some weird inconsistent effects.

I sometimes get all of the notifications at one random time, and then it just stops.
I've tried uninstalling the app, and reinstalling it. Nothing seems to work for me

Try reseting app preferences,
Settings/ application manager/choose all /hit menu/reset app preferences.
After you apply titanium backup update... everything is haywire. Usually that fixes alot.. normally youll receive a notif in from RED from titanium backup saying phone reboot recommended.
Just a idea to try

What does it do? Reseting preferences? Reseting all the apps settings?

Root using CF-AutoRoot so you still have stock ROM. Then, after you have SuperSU installed and working you start using root tool apps that let you freeze apps you don't use and let you disable wakelocks on the apps you want to keep. Examples: Greenify, System Tuner, Titanium Backup and there are probably many others too that you can try. You may find that google apps are using up a large portion of your battery charge. My S4 battery performance was really poor before, now it is good.

How do I prevent apps from running constantly in the background? And by apps I mean Samsing link, S Health, Samsung Watch On, and Samsung Apps
I'm not rooted, but when I was rooted I used greenify to disable them but now I can't. I'm on 4.3. Also, I'm not looking to uninstall or disable the app, just prevent it from running in the background.
Thanks in advance

You are welcome. Just curious, what is the reason you don't root your phone? The benefits outweigh the negatives for me lol.

Rooting simply allows you to gain super user and control every single aspect of your phone. You can disable battery hogging services to removing preinstalled apps to customizing everything about your phone. Think of your phone as a demo app and root is the premium key that unlocks all the features of the full retail version. ^.^

This.
You can also uninstall SuperUser really easily (there is literally a button in the app settings to do just that). That will unroot your phone and let you get OTA's again in seconds. Then just just have to re-root when you're done the OTA.
This, of course, is if you JUST have the SuperUser app installed as part of your root package. If you have a custom recovery installed that's a different story. You'd have to remove that too.
But if you just root with a method like Chainfire's Auto Root, you will have the stock rom, stock recovery, and can easily ditch the SUperuser app so you can get an OTA whenever it comes out. Since they dont' come out super often, it's not in the way at all. It's not like you'd have to do that every week.
Just some suggestions! Hope they are useful.

Can you link me to chainfires auto root, I can't seem to find it in the development section
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Whatever happened around here? I would have thought someone would have informed the OP that those apps are not "running". Yes they are taking up RAM but this isn't Windows either. The way m we memory is handled is vastly different and in some ways, opposite of conventional Windows thinking. They are not using power either.
I never freeze an app or force kill it unless it causes an issue. If I don't use it - root, uninstall, be happy. I only say all of that so the OP didn't pickup the bad habit of killing apps to regain RAM. Its unnecessary to say the least.

Another thing is that some apps will, by default, execute when opening certain web based applications (FF, Chrome, Internet). Same goes when enabling Wifi.
It does get tedious disabling them all the time if you're someone who wishes to have your device quiet and clean.
I just decided to uninstall them all via Titanium backup...Most of them you can download via Play if you ever wanted them back.

Most of the stuff on our phones are small and wont impact the phone wether you remove them or not. I usually just remove Google newstand, movies, magazine, everything samsung, and sprint zone. Thats really the only bloatware you should concern yourself with.
