So I picked up my phone today and it looks like some how Sprint took it over. All my set icons I had on my screens are missing. Sprint Zone, Next Radio, Sprint Music Plus and Sprint TV are all showing up now. Also they also all showing up on my list of apps, the odd thing is they are all at the bottom in Custom Mode (which happens obviously when you add a new app to your phone.

This happened to me too! Same exact thing! Also all the hidden apps I had in my drawer were showing, and it had reinstalled lookout security and kids mode and the rest of the Sprint bloat. Glad I want the only one that had this happen... Easily fixed but very strange!
seems there is alot of info missing... why was it with sprint? what were they supposed to do? were the rest of your apps still on your phone?

Yeh nothing else changed. All apps stayed on phone all preferences remained the same. Only thing affected was the home screen and all drawer. Even changed the number of home screens. All I saw before it happened was a overlay with Sprint badging saying update done then boom it was all changed.. don't notice any different sw versions or anything, and no tale tale signs of updated Sprint apps from the play store.. Had to be a push from Sprint.

It's just sprint installer I think. It keeps doing that. If I reset/power off my phone, it'll start to do that, because I manually uninstalled all of their apps. After the kk it seems to stopped or slowed down somehow. I rooted my phone recently and used titium backup to removed the sprint apps, although they are still in the ROM, seems to me they are no longer running. before rooting, I had been stopping and disabling as I could. If I failed, it'll wipe out my launcher screen.

Try disabling the SprintID app. I removed it completely and never had that happen.
Sent From My HTC One!
carp! The same thing happened to my phone and I decided to restore from backup. Don't know why they messed with it. It messed with my custom layout...
if they updated you to kit kat it's the auto sprint ID pack that instals
Now this has also happened to me, although it seems to have happened in two parts. First I opened my phone to see some sort of Sprint updater message, and Lookout as well as a few Sprint apps were installed. I uninstalled them, and went to sleep. When I woke up they were reinstalled and my home screen was rearranged and there was also a new Sprint Discovery widget.
I saw this thread last night, before it happened, or I probably would have freaked the F out.
Just to be clear - What process is doing this as I would like to disable it? Is it the Sprint Installer, or the Sprint ID? Do we even know for sure? It's wicked annoying. Auto installing apps is one thing, but they should not have the ability to change my home screen setup.

There are four major Sprint related programs, and that visual voice mail, (at least that's all what I know of)
1. Sprint ID
2. Sprint Installer
3. Sprint Worldwide
4. Sprint Zone
While sprint installer and sprint worldwide can be disabled by going Settings/apps/All, and click and select disable, the other two can't be disabled, can only be force stop, also true is the visual voice mail. These three will start again in the running. I had been periodically clearing the cache and data on those apps and force stop. After root, I used the titanium backup to take them out of flash, I guess, they are still there in All, but not running anymore. But once I reset the phone, they will be back immediately.

sprint has some kind of updater app that comes with all they;re phones now I think,,,,remove it, or just install a custom rom with all that crap removed....
telling you, just disable/uninstall/remove SprintID.apk and it won't do that again. (Root needed to remove it.) Mine however did allow me to disable ID.
They pushed their crap out again this weekend. Wish they would stop that. I went and disable all that crap and it does it again

My phone is rooted.
I have uninstalled SprintID.apk and it just comes back after reboot.
Same thing with disabling it, it enables itself after reboot and still does hands-free activation.
What is causing this?
This is the reason I rooted my phone to get rid of this HFA since I don't use Sprint service.
Hey guys,
For some reason my Gear dies in half a day and I can't work out why. I'm using Skin's modded Tizen ROM but have been doing so for months and this has just started to happen.
- I have no apps installed;
- I don't have auto on when I raise my wrist, although I've tried it with this on and makes no difference;
- I've reset the phone to factory settings. It was actually fine during the day. Put it in my drawer over night, woke up 7 hours later and it had gone from 75% to dead!
- Reset it AGAIN and it's still muffed!;
- Uninstalled the Gear s/w and reinstalled to no avail.
I may be barking up the wrong tree here, but it seemed to coincide with the orange coloured version of the Gear manager. Does anyone have the apk for the previous version where it was all white with a colourful top border please? Or failing that, have any idea what the hell my watch thinks it's up to?
Thanks!
EDIT
Solution
1. Deleted the Gear software (and checked for any remainders in the file manager...although personally I found none);
2. Hard reset the watch, just in case;
3. Installed Gear Manager 2.1.14071502 (courtesy of Brendo);
4. Paired and got it all working well. This alone sorted the battery life which was nice.
5. I let the software update automatically; (obviously bypassing the dodgy version)!
6. Boom! It works fine with the latest app!
Did you try resetting watch? Check link in my sig for older versions of gm

Yep I've also reset the watch on two occasions. Still dying within 9 hours Cheers for the apk's though, I'll see if that makes any difference. Otherwise I may have to ditch Skin's ROM and try the official - see if that helps.
I am getting almost the same thing over the last few days. My Gear Manager updated to a newer version and I have had the issue ever since. Idk what about updating that on my phone would have to do with the Gears battery life but I have changed a few settings on my notifications to see if that is going to help. I also keep getting "saproviders has stopped" CONSTANTLY. Was popping up every 3 seconds and I could not do anything with my phone. Finally got into Titanium and froze that app and I have had no more issues with that on my phone but I don't think that is cause my Gear to have poor battery life would it? I may have to go back to a older version of Gear Manager.
Similar thing for me with saproviders although it was happening because I had disabled Unified Daemon (EUR) process. Reenabled it and that went....although sometimes the UD(EUR) drains my phone battery and is really only used for weather updates.
As for the draining issue, I'm having a go with Gear Manager 2.1.14071502 and seeing if it makes any difference. So far it is, but I will report my findings back in 24hrs!

That is exactly the version I downloaded also. Gonna have to figure out how to get it to stop wanting to auto update to the newer versions. Just gonna set my settings and not go back to gear manager for awhile. See if it makes a difference for my Gears battery life before I go looking at anything else.
Okay that has fixed it, going back to Gear Manager 2.1.14071502! The watch has been on for 3.5 hours and is still at 100% rather than 55% as it was yesterday!!!
WTF Samsung?!?!
What the hell have they done with their latest Gear app? It must be causing some sort of wakelock on the watch itself.
Guess I'll wait for a month for newer releases.

Good to know about the Gear Manager, I was gonna suggest a reset , but doing the reset via "recovery" , instead of selecting "download" like when using Odin, you select "recovery" and it resets also. I've done the reset that way in the past and it fixed my issues. I had looked all over the Tizen OS for battery stats with no luck. Maybe the Gear somehow stash's the stats or something on the phone instead...? Hmm, I'm gonna dig around in gear manager..

Yea have a look Chris. Actually I did reset via the GM first time, the second time I did it via the hardware...as in hold power, keep tapping it and reset that way. Both ways made little unfortunately.
My watch was still on 97% after 8 hours of none use over night so I'm pretty sure it's GM. However, now it wants to update and I literally cannot stop it If I say no, it exits the app, if I say yes the obvious happens. How can I block it?
Also, just for fun I've let it run the update. I know the first version of the 'orange GM' had issues and Samsung updated that immediately. I'm speculating over whether that first cocked up version brought over an issue into the latest one. Thereby if I go from an even older version to the latest, the issue may disappear... as always, I'll keep posting results.
after downgrading GM to previous version, my battery life also improved, after 9 hours of having it at work, taking some pics, sync to internet i had 70% left. gorgeous!
i will never ever press update again. each update only brings more bugs and no new functionality.
Well now I want to potentially throw a curve ball...although we'll see by tomorrow. After downgrading to 2.1.14071502 then upgrading to the latest my gear has been sat idle for 2 hours and sits at 100% battery life.
If this works, it means the previous version of the latest software created some kind of bug and carried itself through to the latest revision. So - this *may* have sorted it. I'll have to keep an eye on it for now but it's looking promising.
i did downgrade but it force app to upgrade or it will stop
Well I've never double posted before in my life! Not sure how that happened - apologies
Right it appears to be fixed (finally).
24 hours - 8% battery use - using the latest Gear software...GREAT!
Theory
The first version of the new batch of gear software had some weird bug causing a wakelock on the watch. Upgrading the app didn't remove it.
What I did
1. Deleted the Gear software (and checked for any remainders in the file manager...although personally I found none);
2. Hard reset the watch, just in case;
3. Installed Gear Manager 2.1.14071502 (courtesy of Brendo);
4. Paired and got it all working well. This alone sorted the battery life which was nice.
5. I let the software update automatically; (obviously bypassing the dodgy version)!
6. Boom! It works fine with the latest app!
All of that said, you may be able to skip steps 3-5 and directly install the latest version....but I tried that and for some reason I still has horrendous battery life.
I'm not sure why the steps above fixed it, but they did. So have a go if this is pi**ing you off as it may just work.
Cheers!
@jonboyuk I've done what you did ,didnt work , even downloaded latest version 2.2.14092299 from @Brendo but still keeps the going to 2.2.14090599 and saprovider FC , i did clean data saprovider and uninstall it worked , but after restarting gear and re-connect it back as it was even uninstalling saprovider wont help anymore.
so now its draining battery so quick. and media control not working.

I ran the same previous version of GM you did. I got GREAT battery life with it. Completely fixed my problem. Now I do have that stubborn update that keeps popping. This is what I do. I click GM app. Update popup comes up and says Cancel or Update. I click the update and when the DL starts, I hit the home button on my GS4 to minimize the app and then i hold the Home button to clear all apps which shuts down the GM app and kills the update. Then I go back to GM app and it does not ask me to update any more. It stays away until I reboot the phone normally. Temp fix i guess but Ill look into it more and see if there is a way to completely stop it.

I had this issue. I went into Titanium Backup and froze the SAProviders app. Stopped the popup because it was constantly popping up and was very annoying and could not use my phone at all. Frezzing the app solved the pop up but the bad battery life still stayed until i reverted back to a older version of the GM app like I said in the comment above this one. Still looking for a way to perm stop the update from popping up.

Every time I try to go back it re-installs 599. Even if I stop it by holding down the home button and close all apps. I re-open GM and it goes right back to downloading additional software. Has anyone figured a way around this? My watch is dead in 6 hours the way it is now so it's basically useless...

first you need to uninstall new Gear Manager, then disable Samsung Apps (Settings->Apps), and then install older GM, you choose. That helped me to disable auto GM update from Samsung, what was very nervous...

I have also installed the 2.1.14071502 version. To prevent forcing to upgrade to 2.2, I just disabled Wifi and 3G.. so, it only installs the software of this version. When I got paired, I go to Gear Manager Setup and uncheck the Automatic Update .. so, I only have that version. For goprovider FC, I installed the version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2758364 (goprovider-signed-20140529.apk )
And that's all! I have a working goprovider, with 2.1 Manager.... BUT, this version doesn't allow the notification from any app! So, I don't get notifications from WhatsApp, FB, skype.. none! So, do you have another later version (not 2.2)? or any other way to get Whatsapp,etc notifications?
So I wasn't getting the lollipop update notification so I went into about phone and clicked on software updates to make sure it was set to on. But it checked for the update and started downloading it and there was no cancel button. So now I have this notification which I can postpone for a maximum of one day.
Is there anyway to remove this notification? I'm probably going to wait out any updates till a 5.1 stock update is released. My phone runs great as is, no reason to update.

Try pulling down notification and tap and hold on the notification and go to app info. Does it say Android System or something else?
It says Software update version 3.19.140911. I can't disable the notifications from it or force stop from app info. It is greyed out.
Your device isn't rooted is it?
Nope not rooted.
I guess I could factory reset to try and get rid of it.
if you take to long it just upgrade by it self.
In the past the way I would get around it was to delete the downloaded file from the cache folder and it would fail and go away. You need to be rooted to get to the file though
A quick search and I found this thread so you can try what Iron56 did.
"Okay, I managed to get rid of the notifications by long pressing on the notification to invoke App Info and then Force Close it. It no longer bothers me, but judging from my remaining space in the internal storage, I still have 400mb of OTA downloaded firmware which I can't seem to find using ES File Explorer. Where is it? "
I am not sure if it will work with the newer firmware but you can give it a shot.
Well I can't force close from app info as it is disabled.
I can seem to close the Software Update application from application manager. But the notification stays.
I have the same issue here, I just wanted the Stagefright patch but it wants me to update to Lollipop and I have only heard bad things on the Note4
All it let me do was clear cache
I avoided upgrading for a couple months. Then I'm at my kids summer camp and accidentally somehow hit the update button (as the update screen is what shows when I first unlock the screen). This was a few weeks ago. Now I got a notification for the stagefright one and just took it. Lollipop does have issues but I'm hoping the 5.1.1 update will be out soon and fix it up.
lol just get rooted and freeze it with "Software update" with titanium backup
Ever since the last July security update, when I try to use any number of apps from capital one too smart select with my s pen, I get it asking permissionas then coming up saying I need to turn screen overlay off. This is an os permission that many programs use. Unless I turn it off on every app, I cannot give the current apps permissions. However summarily turning them off screws up those apps.

I'm glad to hear that I'm not alone. I've been really struggling lately. Seems like quite a few of the new apps trigger that "Overlay" problem. I'm not sure how/what to do. Please help
I've been having the same exact issues. It's been driving me nuts. The only thing I can think of is it must have something to do with the latest security patch we got.
Hopefully they fix it, soon!! How do we let them know?

I didn't had any issue with any of the previous updates (btw what update caused bootloop on your device? any problems with update could be caused by installed apps). Anyway, OOS12 has some quirks here and there but nothing serious. It's quite stable and suitable for daily usage.
I have installed it yesterday (version EB2103_11.C.05). After testing I can confirm that it is working very well, including 5G network. Also wifi networking is working without any problems.

It's because there are two slots A and B for this kind of thing, your actual OS boots from slot A, you download update & install it on slot B and if something goes wrong, device returns to boot from slot A.

Hi, I have a model EB2103, and I want to know if this update is also for this model, if so, where can I download it?
I have the EB2103 version here and upgraded to Oos12. I deeply regret to have done it. The system is slow, ugly, and keeps resetting from nowhere. The fingerprint lock just fails much more and I miss a lot of features. The one a miss most is the hidden apps that I could easily access from apps, by swiping to right. This is gone and now I need to open the telephone app and type a PIN to see a little window will the hidden apps. Looking for a downgrade of my phone right now.

everything is fine with me, the system is running as like a Swiss watch.

I have the EB2103 version here and upgraded to Oos12. I deeply regret to have done it. The system is slow, ugly, and keeps resetting from nowhere. The fingerprint lock just fails much more and I miss a lot of features. The one a miss most is the hidden apps that I could easily access from apps, by swiping to right.

I can definitely confirm that the update broke a lot of settings. For me it reset the battery and notification settings for several apps, for example AccuBattery. The apps notification icon does not show up in the top anymore and I think this is the case for every non-system app right now. I am using Nova Launcher and had to do quite a rework of my theming. Colors of the clock widget changed to a cyan, which looked awefull and the google calendar app widget went pale. I also had to remove apps that I previously deactivated.
All in all a horrible update that destroyed my theming and installed a bunch of stuff I did not ask for.
Looking forward to the end of warranty next year to root and remove the OS for something cleaner. Guess this will be the only OnePlus in my posession.
EDIT: I figured out why in my case the notification icons disappeared. I've set "don't disturb" and all the notification icons disappeared, as is with the notification icon of AccuBattery, which is a silent notification. So not only does the system not display a notification in silent mode (which is ok) it also disables the icon in the top banner for some reason. Does anybody know how to disable that behaviour and have it like before, where notifications are silent, but their icons appear in the top banner?
EDIT2: Got the AccuBattery icon working by holding the finger onto the silent notification in the pull-down and then set the notification to "important".

I didn't find out the best way to do it. It looks like MSM Download Tool is the way, but my drivers are still not working as should recognize the phone... I almost bricked the phone 'cause I started flashing it and the phone just reset in the middle of the process.
After a few days, I also noticed that the fingerprint sensor reacts really slow.
Today I printed a document and the print job just crashed after successfully sending the document to the printer.
To top it off, my Moto 360 3rd Gen battery life went from 1.5 days to just under 6 hours.

Try to re-register your fingerprints, this should work.
Did you try to print another document to reproduce the error?
To avoid battery problems on your smartwatch, you could try to allow only apps sending notification, that you need (i.e. Whatsapp, Instagram, Telegram etc.). I assume, that every app send notifications to your smartwatch atm

Thanks for the suggestions, I will try to look at the app rights management again, but I already restricted a lot of stuff and the point is, that before the update, everything just worked a lot better. It is a disappointing update overall that causes a lot of unnecessary problems.
I could not get root to work after the update since the TWRP image was not bootable anymore (flashing it caused the phone only to boot to fastboot). I got the phone working again by factory reset. If anyone knows a solution it would be highly appreciated.
By far the best update to Android on this phone. 11 was just abysmal compared to this.
It runs extremely smooth with no stutters. Everything opens up very quickly etc.
The battery time is, at the same time, clearly better.
It looks much cleaner.
And the functionality is mostly for the better too!
It's been a long time since I have been this positivley surprised by an android update!
No problems when updating, everything worked and missed nothing important after the update.
It's a 100% worth it!
Installed recently and breaks termux with phantom process 32. If you use termux and any of its plugins, this will certainly break it.
