Can someone please help me, I cannot delete apps that require phone administration to be checked. No matter how many times I deactivate it it still stays checked but acts as if I did deactivate it when I tap it again cause it gives me the choice to activate it. I'm trying to disable delayed lock and gotya and I don't understand why it won't let me deactivate them to uninstall these apps.
:edit:
I figured out a way around it in case anyone else has this problem. Freeze it with titanium backup then go to apps and uninstall it.

I noticed yesterday that i'm missing 'Accounts and Sync' option under Settings. I cannot get it through Gmail app as well, gives me force close error. I don't know if it happened after root and CWM as i remember i had it earlier.
did you go to Titanium and freeze/uninstall something? if you freeze/uninstall one of the service that related to syncing then you will lose the option in setting.

So I have about 4 apps "disabled" through ICS, and it's worked fine except for one of them. Google+ seems to re-enable itself, randomly, and I don't know why (or even how!). It doesn't seem to happen when I reboot, or overnight, or anything specific...it just seems to randomly pop back up in the tray and display as Enabled in the app settings.
Anyone else having this problem? Or find a way to combat it? I have no use for Google+ and I don't like that it *can* eat up battery (doesn't usually, but it can).
This has been answered atleast four other times, but since your search is broken let me answer it again. You can not keep it disabled, just delete it using a file explorer and root.

Apparently my search *is* broken.
Oh wait, no, *all* search is broken when using the "+" symbol because it's seen as a boolean string and not an alphanumeric character. Searching for "Google+" or even "Google won't disable" comes up with nothing helpful at all.
Thank you for answering my question, but no thanks for being a rude ass in the process. Maybe *you* should try using the search function next time to see how it works before posting an inconsiderate and incorrect comment, no?
I am able to keep my Google+ disabled without having it re-enable itself (even after restarting my phone). Did you make sure to disable everything else that may be tied to Google+ (such as syncing photos)?

Ya, I've always had photo syncing off. That should be the only thing that's tied to it, right? Just turn off syncing then disable the app?
There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it re-enabling itself...just seems that after some arbitrary amount of time it's suddenly back enabled. Seems to be a few days.
It keeps showing an update is available for Google+ even though it is disabled. Anyway to prevent that?

Never mind, it was enabled again, so yeah I need to delete it also. How do you go about deleting it with a file manager program? Which folder, etc?

Install the update. Disable G+ again, if necessary.

Well in order to Disable a baked-in app you have to uninstall updates, first. So you'd be updating, removing updates, then disabling. Would have the same effect as just disabling.
So I've already had two notifications that Lookout has done it's "weekly" scan today alone...
Is there someway to disable at least the notifications? If I go into the App itself all I can do there is activate lookout? (If it's not activated then what the heck are the scans it's doing?)
Thanks!

Tap and hold on the notification and tap on "App Info". Then uncheck the "Show Notifications" checkbox. You could also click "Turn Off" to disable the app completely.

I didn't even think of that... I'm used to running custom ROMs where I just don't install stuff I don't need.
I'm running stock for a while to see what I "need" in a custom ROM (especially with regards to the S-Pen stuff) and to let stuff shake out on new device. So far my only real annoyance has been that the Samsung Contact App is auto linking contacts simply because they share enough info in common and I can't figure out how to disable that (without manually doing it when and if I find a contact that is linked).
Thanks!

Yeah, I think stock on this phone is fine. On the S4 it was kind of necessary to put a custom rom because the phone was so laggy, but the 800 on this phone just flies through everything.
I got a fresh new Note 7 few days ago, and installed Google Now Launcher as always, but it works in wierd way.
After few hours, it doen't show some widgets in home screen, neither on edit page.
When I reboot the phone, most of widgets were back but some have been missing yet.
Furthermore, in appdrawer there's no app at all.
I can run app from Google Now searchbar and home screen shortcuts, but nothing is in appdrawer.
I uninstalled and re-installed the launcher but nothing solved.
I tried to clear cashes and so on but app manager says there's no such a thing...
I have to reset my phone I guess, but that would be such a huge pain in the ass.
Does anyone esle has same problem with me? Any suggestions?
I had the same problem. Reading from the S7 area, it seems like it's Knox that is causing the problem. I believe they mentioned that you need to uninstall it. I haven't tried it. Need to do more research first before I try it myself.

That makes sense, I recall the problem occured just after me setting "secure foler". I have to visit Samsung Service Center since I don't wanna uninstall knox. Thank you very much giving me information.
Just played with it a bit more. If you don't need Secure Folder, you can just install that. Google Now Launcher will work correctly after rebooting. If, later on, you decide you would prefer Secure Folder, you can just reactivate it. I just tried it. I disabled Secure folders for now, since I really don't need it and I prefer Google Now.
It's showing the little orange 'new' circle against settings but I can't find anything or clear the orange dot.
Not a biggy but annoying, any ideas?
Got the same and it can't, for the moment be cleared. It will go away i suspect after some sort of an update.

If that's the case then there's probably an update from Samsung.
Go to the settings in messages» about messages
Should be a button there to update or you can check if there's an update in the galaxy store

Yes, that's what it should lead to but it does not. A bug, me thinks

Possibly could be a weird bug but by chance what version of messages are you running?
And do you have any package disabler apps running like ccswe or package disabler pro?
Msg app 10.1.00.76 and CCSWE but latter has no impact. I've tested it, to make sure, by re-enabling all that is disabled.

Hmm, you're running a newer version than I am. Mine is 10.1.00.73
But the reason I asked about the app manager is that I wondering if you disable BadgeProvider, SamsungExperience and Galaxy Store, restart the phone and see if it goes away then you can re-enable them if you want to.
Edit:
Just realized ccswe doesn't allow you to disable certain apps and the Galaxy Store is one of them. Well the major thing is the BadgeProvider service (com.sec.andoid.provider.badge) that's the service that gives the little orange dot to apps and such if they have a notification. So if it's disabled then the orange dot should go away, restart the phone to make sure it's cleared then re-enable it if you want to.
I personally keep BadgeProvider disabled since the status bar already provides me info on which app needs attention.
No, that orange notification doesn't bother me. It will be resolved at some point I'm sure. Having spent hours of "fun" in the past trying to unravel experiments with blocking various apps that broke functionality in unexpected places I've learnt what apps and services to leave be.
