Samsung Galaxy S6 Enhanced Features pop up

Hi all, As of yesterday (3/5/2015) I started to get a pop up every 30 mins or so asking me to enable Enhanced Features.It states that if I accept, my phone number, contact list and messages will be collected. As such, I would like to decline the settings, but it does not stay declined and 30 minutes later pops up again.I've attached a screenshot of the pop up. Can someone please tell me how to disable this or permanently decline? Cheers
Paul

Hello All. I have figured this ridiculous pop up for enhanced messages on Galaxy S6!!!I spent over a month with Sprint and Samsung troubleshooting this and today I was able to finally get it to go away. Mine was popping up at least 80 times a day, all day.DO NOT AGREE TO IT, if you do not want your phone number, contact list & messages to be collected!!!You cannot turn it off by using button. It will fail to Log Off every time.  I have Sprint and not sure of other carriers. Here is the process I did to make it go away without agreeing.Touch the DECLINE buttonTouch the messages icon (text button)Touch MORE. Top rightTouch Settings. 2nd from bottom of listYou will see the Enhanced messaging button is green (on)Should see something like REGISTRATION with your phone number listed below it. Touch your numberTouch the DEREGISTER button on top rightTouch DERIGSTER PHONEtouch OKIt will deregister your phone and turn off the enhanced messaging. You texts will still function as normal.If you want to use the enhanced messaging capability & allow them to collect all data from your device, then touch accept button and agree or turn on.You can always turn it back on whenever you like, but at least you will have a choice to do so, instead of them making you agree to collect data. I believe the Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon ect...person at store is turningit on or coming that way from factory or carrier. Hope this helps. Took me 6 months and many hours on phone with tier 3 or higher with Sprint and Samsung and ended up figuring out on my own, while on conference call with both of them.

  • Why does Flash player not work on samsung galaxy tablets?

    Hello, I am wondering why they do not have flash player for samsung galaxy tab 3? I just recently got the 8.0 sized one and it has great features,but no flash player? To have an up to date electronic device,and older electronic devices carry it,but you won't put it on new devices? Is there a way to get it to work or download it? It has stopped me from viewing many different things on my tablet unfortunately and this may cause me to return it.

    Android dropped all support for Flash last year (June 2012).
    Going back to 2006, when Apple released the first iPhone and iOS 1, Steve Jobs was insistent that it be made incompatible with Flash Player because (in his words) playing Flash content is processor consumptive and kills batteries, and well as shortening battery life in mobile devices. Android came along a little while later, but their reason for droppiong Flash last year was the same.
    Adobe continued developing "security updates" for the Flash Player that worked with older versions of Android, but even that ended in September of this year. Adobe will not continue development of a product for an incompatible format.
    Android recommends either "Dolphin" or "Puffin" browser from the GooglePlay store (both are free). They use "server side" technology to play Flash content without taxing your tablet or phone's processor.

  • I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone.

    I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone from this ipad. Everytime I try to send a message to a person that does not have an Apple product ( Iphone or Ipad ) it comes up saying contact is not registered for iMessage and wont send it. I can only send them a message from my iPhone 4 instead. Do I have to install a new App from the App store to send these non iMessage cell users a message?

  • How do I prevent my Samsung Galaxy S5 from checking my e-mail when I use a public Wi-Fi hotspot?

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 phone, and would like to find out how to suppress the regular checking of e-mail when my phone connects via unencrypted Wi-Fi (in such places as libraries or restaurants).
    When the phone was first set up in-store, there was a checkbox next to "sync email," which I checked.  (I can also access this checkbox via settings > manage accounts > (account name) > sync settings.)  Checking this box makes the phone retrieve e-mail from my ISP's mail server regularly.  But if I clear the checkbox, then the phone does not check e-mail at all, even when I open the Email app and touch the reload/refresh icon.
    Is there a way either to:
    check e-mail only on-demand (i.e. I must open the Email app and then, as an added layer of protection, touch "load more emails" or the refresh icon before it ever will authenticate with my ISP's mail server)
    or, even better, check e-mail only when connected via WPA2-encrypted Wi-Fi or mobile data (LTE) but never send the password over the airwaves when I access a public Wi-Fi hotspot?

    It would be nice if there was a user-configurable preference to allow certain network activities (such as logging into an IMAP or POP server) only when the connection is secure (as it is with WPA2 and, I assume with LTE mobile data) and not when a connection is wide-open.
    There is a setting to "sync email," which I can uncheck, but unchecking that box seems to completely stop the e-mail app from retrieving messages, even when I refresh.  Is unchecking that box before connecting to the hotspot (and then checking it again when I get home) the best that I can do?  (If so, that is just as easy as not using the public Wi-Fi hotspot at all.)
    Verizon's 1GB plan is affordable, and I use public Wi-Fi hotspots specifically to avoid overages.  I guess there is a trade-off between saving money and privacy, but there should still be a way to get the e-mail program only to access the network when I tell it to.

  • IOS 5.0.1 Mail crashes when replying to Samsung Galaxy emails...

    I can't answer to emails received from Samsung Galaxy either from my Ipad 2, Iphone 3GS or Iphone 4 running IOS 5.0.1....!
    When ever I write a reply and press submit the native IOS mail program crashes and I loose the email.
    Is this a silly game Samsung is playing on Apple???

    I also have a user that has this issue on iPad2 and iPhone. The Mail program will allow the choice of Reply, and creation of the response, but when she clicks Send, the program immediately quits.
    The original message remains as received.
    This occurs from at least two separate users Samsung tablets working for the same company.
    This user has no problem responding to the message (which is in a POP account) on her MBP running Lion.
    The MBP. iPad2 and iPhone all share Contacts and calendards, but not Mail, through iCloud.

  • Can't get rid of weird Japanese ads on Samsung Galaxy Tab 4

    I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4, and one of the first weeks I started using it, this Japanese Assistive Touch type thing appeared, but wasn’t connected with an app I could uninstall to get rid of it. But after a couple weeks, it disappeared without my noticing (or doing anything to cause it to go away). But now (from about several weeks ago) I have started getting these popup ads. However, they are all in Japanese, which leads me to think the Assistive Touch and these ads are connected somehow. When I have accidentally clicked on the ads they try to get me to download their apps (which all have very suspicious permissions). But now I can’t figure out how to make them go away. I have run scans through TrustGo AntiVirus, AVG AntiVirus, Clean Master Antivirus, TrustGo Ad Detector, and Lookout Ad Detector multiple times, and all of them after an initial scan and clear (which only gave basic things and didn’t solve the problem anyway) have told me my system is clean, even though I am still getting the ads. I have run Clean Master’s Junk Files scan, and in the results under the “Obsolete apks” heading, were three apps with Japanese titles, and the words Not Installed underneath them. I told Clean Master to “clean junk”, and the apps disappeared from the list, but the ads were still appearing. Next, I tried running my device in Safe Mode to see if I could pinpoint the problem to a third party app (even though Clean Master had classified them as Not Installed). When I ran it in Safe Mode, I clicked through all the apps available, and no ads appeared. But when I restarted it in Normal Mode, I clicked through all the same apps from Safe Mode, and still no ads appeared. It was only when I went to a third party app that the ads appeared. I went to several third party apps, and ads popped up on almost all of them. However, I’m not sure what to do to now to try to get the ads off. Any suggestions? I would like to avoid doing a factory reset if at all possible.

    Not technically, no, but around the beginning of when I got my tablet in
    July, an Assistive Touch type thing appeared, but I didn't download it.
    That was also in Japanese, but I couldn't figure out a way to delete it.
    However, it somehow disappeared without my noticing or doing anything about
    it. I feel like they're connected. So the issue's been going on for longer
    than from the last app I downloaded. I haven't removed any apps yet to test
    it though.

  • How to install adobe reader on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4.?

    I can't figure out how to install adobe reader on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4.  Can anyone help? I want the free version.
    Thanks!

    Please see How to uninstall and reinstall Adobe Reader for Android.

  • 'Save as' in Adobe Reader app? (Samsung Galaxy tab)

    My tech will be using a Samsung Galaxy tab installed with Adobe Reader to fill-in forms I created from Adobe Acrobat X Pro.  We are using DropBox to 'share' the files.  The only option I am missing is a 'save as' feature on the Adobe Reader app.  I've already extended all the rights of the pdf forms to Reader so according to all the forums, he should have full functionality.  HOW CAN I 'SAVE AS' once he has filled out the form so he can use it for multiple equipment???

    I don't believe this is possible. You might want to try to have each individual email you the file once they complete the form.

  • I can't make or take phone calls, but i can message and use data. Has this happened to anyone else? I've gone through three Samsung Galaxy S5's in the past three days, two of which have this problem and one just stopped working all together.

    My phone doesn't have any cellular phone functions...but it CAN send text messages and access data. Has this happened to anyone else? I've gone through three Samsung Galaxy S5's in the past three days, the last two have this problem and the first stopped working all together. I've had new sim cards put in, ive done hard resets on the phone, i've rebooted the phone, done battery pulls, and tech support has reset the signal to my phone. Nothing has worked. (I just "upgraded" <- lol.... and my old phone IS turned off.)

    Im in 79707. So to recap my whole case: I upgraded my device using the verizon wireless website. I received my phone and switched my old SIM card from my Droid Razr Maxx HD into the new Galaxy S5. Everything worked fine until the next morning (May 31st) when I woke up and the phone wouldn't turn on. I took the phone to the local Verizon store and they were also unable to turn it on. They issued me a new Galaxy S5 (referred to as phone 2) and switched my SIM card into that one.
    With PHONE 2 i was able to make calls and receive calls, along with text and data for approximately four hours. After that, i was unable to use the phone function of the device, but text and data were still functioning. I took PHONE 2 back to the Verizon store where they attempted to hard reset the phone twice, they also installed two new SIM cards at the store. After this they would get the same error, which is the phone just reading "Dialing..." after attempting to make a call. The Verizon associate declared the phone "DOA" and issued me another Galaxy S5 (referred to as PHONE 3).
    PHONE 3 worked well, with phone text and data featured intact from when I received it on the after noon of the 31st until approximately 2:30PM on June 1st. I contacted Verizon Tech Support via Gmail phone to attempt the correct the problem. They reset the connection, had me do a battery pull, had me close the "phone" application, and erase the data and catche, then restart the phone. All of which had no effect. My phone is still able to receive texts and use data (even with wifi off) it simply cannot make or take phone calls. all it says is "dialing..." when I attempt to make a call. When other phones call my device it rings once on their end and directs them to voicemail, PHONE 3 does not ring on my end.
    I have made sure my old phone is completely powered down.

  • Is the iPhone 5 better than the Samsung Galaxy S4/Lumia 1020?

    Is the iPhone 5 better than the Samsung Galaxy S4/Lumia 1020?

    Like almost everything in this world is a matter of choice, but, if it is to logically make a choice here are a few criteria you should consider before picking up a smartphone:
    Do you really need it? - if not, the money will stay better in your account;
    Set up the budget and consider the fact that smartphones get upgrades faster than computers and laptops, will you be able to upgrade?
    Which operating system are you familiar with?
    What are your needs and expectations from the smartphone?
    What type of person you are (email/chat/SMS/Social Media-man aka. communications, multimedia, productivity, gamer, etc.) this will help you chose the appropriate hardware and check out what are your options regarding the existing applications for your needs;
    Are you always on the run or work in an office? - this will help you decide from the battery life point of view;
    If you own a tablet you might just need a simple smartphone.
    Samsung does not really innovate in terms of functionality and usability, they only copy what others do and make it their own way. Android is not a mature operating system, yet. I like some of its features, of course, but I can rely on it when it comes to productivity as I'm a person who sends 100's of emails per day and need to easily manage the messages.
    You can have the best hardware in the world but that's useless if you operating system is bad at managing those resources, you will not be able to exploit the device to the fullest and you might cry over the money you've spent :-) Nevertheless Samsung has a large market share, makes good phones, but not quite smart, they are rather... intelligent, a smartphone is smart from the day you buy it, you don't have to put it in training mode :-)
    As about Lumia, I don't have much to say, it's what iPhone had at the iPhone 4 version minus the 40MP camera and the operating system. If I want a good camera then I buy a camera, a Canon or Nikon :-) Yes, the Krait CPU, so what? That CPU is managed by a Wi*dows OS and that should say everything. I'm not against Micr*soft, they had/have their part in technology progress, but I'm more into stable operating systems, I'd chose Android over Wi*dows, yet Nokia were always great at hardware and batery life. Bad choice for Nokia, look at their sales and you will understand.
    That's just my two cents, but iPhone is the choice of millions when they chose their first smartphone: is user friendly, solid, great hardware specs, lovely screen, wonderful support, high-level security, multimedia at its best, a design that catches the eye, looks and feels great in your hand, it's light, you have millions of verified apps in the store and a nice community to tell you all these :-)

I just purchased an OTG cable and plugged in my printer cable...a pop up notice with the usb icon says PRINTER CONNECTED. That seems hopeful....but where do i go from here? Is there any driver software i can install to print out directly?
    Or is there some sort of (pardon my ignorance) printer server that i can use to connect the devices together. My printer does not have wifi nor bluetooth...i assumed there wd be some easy way to print, thats why i just bought this printer.... 
    Is there any way to add a gadget to make the printer accessible by wifi or bluetooth.
    I,d be very grateful if any knowledgable patient person cd help me understand the solution. Thanks.

    Are you getting an error? Is the SMTP server set to authenticate with your username and password? Is SSL enabled?
