Samsung Knox and S Health - Note 7 Questions & Answers

never cared to even try Knox but I just bought a kick butt Gear 2 and it seems to require Samsung Knox for S Health to run so I can log my heart rate and sleep data. But S health seems to have issues during setup.
Not knowing anything about Knox and the software and I am hesitant to running it. Does anybody have Samsung Knox and/or S Health running? Touch the wrong update on the Note 7 and you can say bye bye. Lol
I checked off several updates boxes in the disabler app and My Note 7 is money. Don't even want to touch the icon on this app. I also disabled updates from the play store and removed the play icon from my homepage.
Let me know if you have had success with SHealth, Knox and/or Gear 2 data. I want to see this sleep analysis feature.
I don't want to update Knox unless I know for sure my note 7 won't update with the self destructing update.

If you have a disabler app installed go ahead and do it. If you need one check it here ->

I thought it was built into the phone but I guess not. Downloaded it from the play store and tried to install it......"License failure" during the last stage of the setup.

[Q] Prevention Information

Over the last day, I have been getting this popup over and over. I have not installed any new apps. I ran antivirus and malware and nothing came up. Only app that was updated that I think could have done this is TB. Any ideas? Pics attached. I am Knox 0x0 with root.

Yes. It was TB (TitaniumBackup). You need to run a simple app called TB Fixer every time you restore an app in order to fix the selinux contexts, at least until TiBu fixes their app wrt to SELinux, or until/unless you install a kernel with selinux set to permissive instead of enforcing.

Disable the Knox apps (freeze via Titanium BU), reboot and you should be fine.

Edit: wont let me disable or even clear data.

This normally is for someone that has rooted. Stock shouldn't be doing that.

Frozen knox. Will report back. Like guy said above, it's weird it didn't do this before.

Totally stock, unrooted here. Same message started popping up today. Others on other forums are reporting the same all starting within the last day or two.
Clearing data and cache on Knox seems to stop it until I reboot it and then it starts all over.
Interestingly enough turning wi-fi off and then back on will trigger the message every time within a second or two of turning wi-fi on.

Wonder if this is related to the Security Policy update that I just got.

I have not had this error since I froze the Knox apps way back when I rooted, but I did get the policy update notice about an hour ago.

I don't recall getting a message about a security update. I've had my note 3 for about a month now and this just started happening a few days ago. I'm running stock right now.
It seems that everyone who has a note 3 without root just started to get this for some reason. It just started on mine earlier this morning. Kept popping up.
A co-worker got an OTA update yesterday from Verizon for his Note 3. he is still stock no root. He said it was for speaker and connectivity issues. he has not had these messages on his device though.
Was looking through my Apps on playstore and one jumped out at me. Mobeam Beaming Services. Says it lays dormant until Samsung does something. I wonder if that is the reason this "update" was pushed out to all Note 3's.
I wish it would at least tell you which app.
Happening to me too just a few hours ago. I thought it was the 2-step verification thing but it isn't....been uninstall apps but no help.
Update: It looks like the Tmobile My Account app is causing it. I disabled the app and it's gone.

Knox is being annoying

Knox is tripping in Android and telling me something tried to access data on my device and it stopped it, but it doesn't tell me what app it stopped. I found I can force close and clear data on Knox to shut it up until my next reboot, but is there a way to figure out what app it is blocking?
I also noticed my KP (Kaiser Permanente) app has been force closing a lot lately which is odd because it shouldn't be running in the background. I uninstalled the KP app. After my next reboot, I'll see if it starts up again. I haven't installed anything recently either. Most new apps find their way to my Nexus 7.
[EDIT] Grammar failure.
It's not Knox. Folks here still trying to figure it out.
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...ng-note-3-prevention-information-message.html
I held down on the notification and went to the App Info and it was being displayed by the Knox Notification Manager. I dunno, pretty sure that is Knox.
I am pretty sure it is something to do with Knox. Once I froze all the Knox stuff, I have not had any further issues.

I have the same problem, the other security app doesn't detect anything though.

I froze everything that says Knox with Titanium Backup Pro. One entry says KLMS Agent. Freeze that too for a total of 5 items. I did that a few days after I got the phone and have never seen that popup
can we instead uninstall knox? I don't have the titanium pro version to freeze it.
I was experiencing some of the same issues till I ran this. Can some of you try this and see if it fixes it?
adb shell as root you should run without the ""
"pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid"

[Q] Which stock apps are safe to remove on Bell model?

I recently got a used LG Optimus G E973 (Bell version). It's rooted and the bootloader is unlocked. So now I'm wondering if there's a list anywhere of all the stock apps that are safe to remove for this model. There are a few threads about this in the AT&T and Sprint forums, but I can't find any here. Anyone care to help?

Most of the launchable apps are removable and you can find better ones. The one stock app that sucked was the email app. I suggest removing it and installing Nexus 5 stock email app with the exchange app. You will be able to do everything(fully synced) with one app(hotmail exchange, work exchange, gmail sync).
The messasing app is also bad, you can simply replace it with hangouts.

I would add that instead of removing the apps right away, it's probably better to freeze (disable) them and see if that affects anything. If everything is good after freezing, they can be removed for good. And if something is messed up, just defrost the app in question.
Titanium Backup Pro can freeze apps, but you can also use other utilities that are free, like Advanced Tools from Play Store.
Ok, thanks guys. I'm a bit new to all this rooted android stuff. Can I get rid of Google Maps? I'd like to replace it with something else because it's permanently sucking up my battery life. Also, is there a reason why the Software update is constantly running on my phone even though I have "check automatically" unchecked?

Sure, you can. If you ever need it again, you can always install it from Play Store as a user app.

I guess it's just designed to keep the service running in the background, regardless of whether it's actually doing the checks. You can just freeze the "Software Update", or uninstall it (that's what I did). Problem solved.

iheart radio app fail to install

Anyone else having this issue? I can download and install from the Playstore but then it fails 10 seconds afterwards.

5.2.0 apk works on note 4 if anyone was wondering...
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app
Installed fine on my.. I did get an unknown sources error because it seems iheartradio comes with iheartradio for the gear smartwatch and I guess it tries to sideload that maybe... otherwise, it installs fine.
Thanks for the feedback. I wonder what's so unique about my setup. I do have the Samsung gear neo 2. So maybe there's something conflicting going on. Android wear vs tizen.
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app
Yea, I have a Gear 1. I think it's trying to sideload the Gear app, but Android isnt letting it.
I went back and checked "unknown sources" and reinstalled it, now I have an iheart radio app on my watch..
I Am Having the Same Problem
Verizon Galaxy Note 4 with Samsung Gears app installed for Gear S watch. IHeartRadio fails to install after getting an error associated with the Samsung Gear app. I have changed security settings to allow unknown sources both in the Samsung Gear app and the general settings on the phone. No luck. Still fails.
I wrote to IHeartRadio technical support over the weekend and received this prompt reply:
I apologize for the difficulty you are experiencing with iHeartRadio. There is currently a known issue with iHeartRadio disappearing or failing to install when connected to a Samsung Gear device. We are working to resolve this issue.
However, you can still enjoy iHeartRadio with your Samsung Gear not connected to your mobile device! I know that this is not the most optimal solution, but we appreciate your patience while we work on resolving this.​
So let's keep an eye out for an update to IHeartRadio.
I have the iheartradio app installed from the play store without any issues. Installed fine and works fine.
Not sure whats up with yours.
Good luck

Do you have the Samsung Gear app running on your phone and a Samsung Gear S watch connected via bluetooth? If not, your situation is irrelevant to this issue.
Im getting the same issue, and it started aftet connecting my gear 2 neo. Very strange and i hope they fix this soon.

Possible Solution
A poster on another board came up with a solution which I do no take credit for, but share here for the benefit of all.
After the Gear S software "uninstalls" IHeartRadio, leave the Gear S watch connected. Then go into the Samsung Gear S manager on the phone, select "Settings" (scroll down to he bottom), then select "Security". Uncheck the option to allow applications to be installed from other sources. Back out of the menus and then go to the Play Store.
Install IHeartRadio from the Play Store. When you receive the dialog that IHeartRadio will NOT be installed on the Gear S, select "CANCEL". Do not select "OK".
The install of IHeartRadio should complete without attempting to side load on the Gear S. Just leave the "install from other sources" option off until you need it.
I have encountered a similar problem with TripIt being uninstalled by the Gear S manager. Here, the solution is to simply install the TripIt app from the Galaxy Gear store (preloaded on the phone) instead of the Play Store. This version from Galaxy Gear appears to play nice with the Samsung Gear S manager.
Good luck!!
As was posted earlier this is a known issue which we're working with Samsung to resolve. Our next release should address this issue but there is a workaround which you can try (same as was posted above) if you'd prefer not to wait (with the caveat that we're not responsible for any issues that might arise from this workaround).
Pair your mobile to your Samsung Galaxy Gear or Gear 2
In the Samsung Gear app on your phone, visit Settings > Security > Unknown Sources
Install iHeartRadio
When the unknown sources message is displayed, select CANCEL

ok tried that it still failed...it will install the app then clean master says its safe to open then you get a message from gear manager that says failed to install the app.
now i tried to side load the app still failed if its recent but if you install from amazon app store it works fine but no gear application.
if you turn bluetooth off and install iheart from the play store it will work just fine even play music but soon as the neo connects
the iheart app fails to install to the gear watch and then removes the app again.
i even tried to go to the samsung app store to get iheart but its not in that store at all.

From what I've seen this happens on some devices, you can always try installing from the Amazon App Store (it's an earlier build of iHeartRadio for Android).
We have fixed this in our latest build, I just don't have a date yet for when we'll be publishing it to the Google Play Store. It'll be soon though!
rp is not good, Mine is fine

random games?

Ok. Got the note 4 about a month or so ago. Set it up and random games keep installing them selves. Well I deleted them all. I accidentally broke the phone and bought another new note 4 and this one is doing the same. Random games keep showing up? Anyone else have this issue? What can cause this on a new phone
I've heard that this happens courtesy of Verizon and the DTIgnite app.

Disable/remove DtIgnite. It is known to install verizon junk without notice. Also make sure you're not set up to "restore" apps/settings from another device linked to an account. Also make sure Google play isn't set to auto install updates.
Have you downloaded any shady apps? Possibly even illegally obtained apps like pirated? Doesn't sound like it but make sure to also read reviews before downloading apps in the playstore as well. I had an app once from the playstore and reviews were saying random apps were being downloaded. Really dumb games and sure enough, after I deleted the app, the games stopped downloading. It was very strange. Pirated apps can easily do the same thing.
