Internet Access - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

I was using Fb lite and all of a sudden appeared a pop up that says it's opening the browser alot and I toggled it off by mistake and ever since then I can no longer open any webpages from the app for some reason . The pop up that appeared showed all applications that could open the Samsung internet browser with an ON/OFF toggle next to every app . Does anybody have any idea how I can access it again to re-enable Fb lite ?

Did you get this issue solved?

Nope. I reset all app preferences, cleared cache and date and even uninstalled and installed the app again and still no luck and I can't seem to find that option again .

Issue solved ! Turns out the problem was not the Fb app itself but rather the Samsung Browser . Had to install it again . The option is hidden way inside the settings in advanced options

New Update is here! Here is how to force pull an OTA update

go to settings, more, application manager, all, and clear data, then stop services for google services framework....then go into system update and update samsung software...... you may have to do that up to 10x with a few restarts in between
also you need to at least have 35% battery
works everytime for me!
if you notice after you clear data and go to system update, it shows that it last checked i 1969......this somehow resets the que and puts you in front of the line
Although this update fixed my red hues during black backgrounds, it added the purple blur/smearing thing when scrolling though quickly...at least we know its a software problem and not hardware
Ok...
I'm going to put this here as I did in the 2 other ota threads.. would someone please grab a log of the link (or grab the download prior to try to install) if they are getting propmted so we can get this to look at?
A bunch of people talking about it, no one trying to get it?
Not sure how. I would be happy to grab the download and get it to someone.

Depends on how people are getting the prompt.. Within the other thread, one of the three anyway, there was this post by a rooted user that had the fail..
This would be ideal because it should have been sitting in /cache (as we've seen on other devices) and it could simply have been pulled.
The only other option (and it will probably not be successful without root but worth a try) would be getting a logcat (running log during process), then forcing the prompt by clearing framework in hopes of catching the download link when the prompt arrives and tapping it. Pull log, inpect it for link and go and get it manually.

By clearing all data in 'Google Services Framework' will this delete any of your contacts, settings, etc.?

nope...won't mess with anything....you may need to say yes to a few google permission prompts like accessing your location, etc...but nothing gets erased and no other changes

As soon as I turned off developer options, cleared framework data and forced closed it worked. Thank you!
Do we still yet to have a change log? Hoping for some speed improvements, if even small!

Another possible method of grabbing files on a non rooted phone is airdroid app. Connect with PC, choose files folder. By default it will go to the SD card but you can back up and get to the phone's system files after a warning screen. If the theory works, just start poking around the file system until you find the update and download it to the computer. You can't edit anything with airdroid but you can grab files at least if you're not rooted. I've never tried this but did see it show the phone's internal files when trying to get to external storage when the default go to folder was internal storage.
Got my update, turned off dev mode, force stopped google services framework, and cleared data.
So much smoother

Watch on in notification bar

Ok this is driving me crazy, randomly the app watch on will pop up in my notification bar. I disable it and it will just pop up again at a random time. Does anyone know how to permanently remove? besides freezing it of course

This just started happening to me the other day. I don't understand why because it hasn't done it before. I too disabled the notification and it automatically turns itself back on. I cleared the data and started over but that did not help. I froze the app with tbu a little bit ago because I rarely use it. It is frustrating because that is one of the only Samsung apps that I like. I too would like to know of a fix for it.

holllly cow. I have been battling this for 3 days now. I thought it was just my phone being supper glitchy. I have gone as far as to uninstall the app... witch will stop it from comming up in the notification bar. Then i re download it from play store. After about 4 reboots it comes back. I will set it in the setting to not come on in notification pannel. Boom its back. No way to stop it..... same with a few other apps. Its like they do not close the correct way and do not save the settings. My swannview dvr app is one more that wont save settings because it won't close correctly.
I don't know if this narrows it down but I noticed when I had wifi turned off I never got it but the second I turned it back on it started popping up again.
I have the same problem. This morning, while trying to disable the notification bar setting again, I got nag popup about allowing Watchon to use mobile data or only wifi. I selected the allow mobile data option and do not ask me again. Now, I can't find the setting to change it back to see if that would affect the notification bar problem. I don't want to test all of the settings because I would lose the devices that I have setup. I assume the problem is caused by an update to Watchon. The only thing I have changed recently us switching to Nova Launcher. Could this be related?

Judging by this I would assume it is the location settings that is triggering this. Try to go to system settings > More > Location services > My places > Choose the places and click none. I can't confirm this works, but it seems that this is triggering for the problem. Also note this isn't a great solution; other location services may be affected with this change.
This is caused by the latest WatchOn update.
I use WatchOn since the day I get my S4 Active (2 months ago) and this NEVER HAPPENED before the update.
I had to disable WatchOn with TB.
Another example of Samsung messing up good stuff!

It has nothing to do with location services. All of mine were already set to none, and I have the same problem.

Sorry then, it must have been the WatchON lock screen location settings I was thinking of. No clue, honestly.
So did this ever get worked out? I just got the note 3 and am already seeing this behavior.
SOLUTION!..
Here is how i disabled remote control on notification panel and lock screen.
Its on Watchon Settings.
watch work done
This is what I did:
Settings
More
Application Manger
Samsung WatchOn
Remove the check for "Show Notifications"
This doesn't stop the program from starting on powerup, but it removes it from the notifications.
This is a thread that should be closed. The problem was fixed by an update. I can confirm that it did exist at one time, but the only people that still have thre problem either have not updated or they have not changed their settings.

Notification Favorite Is Gone?

i am getting notifications on my Gear and can tap them when they popup to see the message or whatever. all i have changed is i switched to Watch Styler and now i no longer have the "Notifications" favorite?
when i had it until just a few minutes ago i could tap it and see Gmail, FB, G+ etc... and view previous alerts.
i looked in Gear Manager and it is not listed anywhere to add it to favorites or anything and its just there.
any thoughts as to something i may have done and how to get it back?
thanks
Which firmware? Others had noticed this too

NULL_18 with Aroma mainly stock setup with no Nova on 1.6 Gear Manager.
maybe i have to wipe and re-install?
weird it was there all day.
tried wiping cache and dalvik and no luck
reset without restore was only solution and now its back.
Anyone else resolve this? I prefer not to restart

Reset without restoring does the job.
Had the same issue.
Sadly had to reset. So anytime I change the icons in the settings will delete Notifications? I can't even access Notifications in the Gear Manager My Apps. Quite sad.

You should not have any problems with notifications tab now. I haven't since I reset.

I don't think it ever existed in gear manager?
Just one of those things that requires a reset to appear (usually because of permissions). Not uncommon for android
I had the same problem running Null 18 and GM 1.6. Resetting was the only way to fix. EVERYTIME you try to modify your favorites apps on GM Notifications icon will disappear again and again the only fix is resetting your Gear. I did it three times just to be sure

Well this is smth new. I have just bought my new z3c and its working all fine. Im installing apps no prblm, until suddenly the phone won't install anymore! The page to install the app comes up and the cancel button works but the install button doesnt click!!
I can only think to blame AVg bcuz I had activated it just before this prblm happened. And there is no.deactivate option on AVG.
UPDATE: restarted phone and killed AVg; prblm still exists
Anyone?

I don't think that would be relevant to the problem. The problem is in parsing the apk.

I once found that if I limit background data on an app called "Media" (in settings, data usage), I could not download any apps over mobile data from Google Play as long as the background data of that app was limited. It may not have been the case for the OP but who knows?
The problem is back again!

And Sony doesn't even have online support and it's page doesn't even address the problem.

Nope. The only solution I found was to be patient and wait. After a couple of hours, or a day or two I try pressing the Install button once again and it works. I just let it off my mind for some time until the night, or the next (couple of) day(s). Interestingly, this isn't a problem if I'm installing directly from Google Play which installs the app itself. That's why I think it could be a security module or something.

I have screen filter, but I reckon this problem existed from before installing screen filter. Plus, I reset my phone once which also means deleting Screen Filter, but the problem still exists.

Some apps interferes with the installation process, like LUX, or some screen filtering app.

Uninstall updates to google playstore app. The reason it worked when you reset your phone was it reset all apps back to their factory settings. Then apps would install until google play updated itself again. So try just uninstalling updates to google play, worked for me. Good luck!

Settings Crashes

I am having a weird bug from today only, never faced in past 2 years.
I am unable to open the "Network & Internet" settings via settings app, it crashes every single time when i tried, but the weird thing is i am able to open my wifi and network settings from quick settings tiles and this way settings app is not crashing, don't know what is happening, as neither i have done any customization to my phone nor i have installed any new app.
I have tried booting into safe mode also, but Network & Internet setting also crashed there, can anybody help to figure out how to resolve this problem without hard reset, as that would be my last option.
