Security Policy Updates

Just had something popped up that showed a Shield like icon. When I pulled down notifications it said Security Update. Clicking on it showed the following screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Update:
This has happened in the past to other Samsung devices like the S4... still looking into it.
Update2:
Don't see anything directly related to the Note 3. It would appear that Samsung send out a Security Update and the phone which is set (by default) to look for them, presented it to me. Would be nice if it said what the Security update was/is other than just giving a number 0012

It's just the version number of the SELinux policy in effect. Expect to see a lot of these updates, as with desktop linux.
(I could do a diff to see what rules were relaxed / strengthened / added / etc, but I just don't care )

I also received a similar update on my Note 3 SM-N9005

Any way to get these insanitys removed? I used notifications off although it still shows up. Maybe it is cool to uninstall with titanium backup =)

Back camera stopped working

My back camera/light has recently stopped working. This phone is less than a year old so this issue is frustrating. At first, I was able to reboot the device and the camera/light would work for about 30 minutes or so. A month later, it only detects the front camera. Now I can't select or add the camera in the Camera app. My flashlight app just freezes if I try to open it. I have some screen shots below. I used an app called System Droid Info to get my hardware information and it seems to display only the front camera specs as if it's the only one connected (maybe I should try another app?). Not sure if this is related, but it also started occurring around the time I installed the latest OTA update.

Things I have done:
-Cleared Camera data/cache and rebooted
-Disabled/enabled Camera app and rebooted
-Force close/reopen Camera app and rebooted
-Powered device off/on
-Factory reset through bootloader
Does this sound like a hardware failure? Are there any other steps I should take? Any help would be great, thanks!

hey @poupdujour, this happened to my M9 whilst i was trying to capture lightening in a thunderstorm (not relevant, but i thought i'd give you a back story) I was able to get the camera "working" through 3rd party apps like whatsapp and instagram but the image was flipped upside down. did everything you went through and even went back to stock, nothing helped.
Think it must be a hardware issue, I sent mine back to EE and got a 24hr replacement.

Background activity

hi
I just put my hands on the s20 ultra, sadly Facebook and Google play never stop running on background even though i turn the option to put them to sleep on. I attached img so you can see, hope you guys know how to help me.

There's no way to fix this? Only to wait for an update?

Thats the only way I was able to sort it,there was also a thread somewhere on s10+ with tons of battery saving things to do not sure if they changed anything cant remember

I got mine to stop in settings, device care, battery, app power management, deep sleep apps. And I just added the apps I did not want running in the background, so far it keeps them off unless I go into it and when I leave the app it gets put to sleep.

Question Samsung Weather widget on A52s not auto updating after April security update.

Samsung Weather widget on A52s not auto updating after April security update. I cleared the Weather app cache, removed and then re-added the widget but to no avail. Anyone facing the same issue? It was working fine before the update. I have Location turned off so I don't know if that matters, but it was working fine before with Location turned off.

Clear system cache.
Clear app data.

Yes location does matter as how Weather widget could get reliable information close to you and not from nowhere or from your entire country when you live in a specific place ??? ^^

It just refreshes the weather forecast for the last known location (when location was turned on because you were using a navigation app, for example).

The built in Weather should be allowed to get your location to get updated w/ real time infos. Honestly, I still get ads with it, switched over to Today Weather.

Question Problem with some running apps

I am experiencing some problems after receiving the S21 FE, there is an application that I use at the gym that whenever I change the application, when opening a second or third application, this first mentioned application closes.
I've noticed this with other newly opened apps as well. I've already tried changing the app's settings by putting it in priority mode and setting it to multitasking and it doesn't solve it. I've even tried changing the settings of apps running in the background.
I mention this app in particular because it worked perfectly on the Galaxy S20. All my training progress is erased when the app closes and this is really annoying.

Turn off adaptive battery etc.

Is yours One ui 4? Here the options are different. I tested it here by disabling the adaptive battery in the last few days but it is still closing background apps. It's a very annoying thing that I didn't feel on my S20

You have more options but it's the same junk.
Specifically what is it closing? Music? Bluetooth?
Check individual app settings as well.
I don't upgrade my N10+'s because of things like this. They're optimized... too much that can get broken.
