How do you disable the antivirus app? It's kind of useless and i am sure it uses battery for nothing. I cant find any way to turn it off or uninstall it.
I don't have that on my phone but try to check the device administrators. If it is there you can uncheck it and then maybe disable in the apps menu.
I don't have it either. You must have installed it at some point

It's part of the Smart Manager app. You may be able to find it in Smart Manager/ Device security. Check the very bottom line.
It's part of the smart manager app. You can disable it but you will lose battery stats and power saver mode.

Hi, is it possibile to disable integrated virus protection from Smart Manager? I don't need it and I can't find a place to disable it.
Thank you!

I could be wrong, but I don't think it's actually running unless you enabled the KNOX security feature. I'd like a definitive answer as well, but I'm guessing it's not active.
Hi, yes. Go to settings>applications>application manager> all , then scroll down until you see 'smart manager provider'. Go into that and manage storage, then clear data and clear cache. When you now open the smart manager app it will show the device security as deactivated. Discovered it myself after not finding any info on the Internet about disabling it.

You can disable that Samsung idiotic protection using Package Disabler Pro (it cost about 2 bucks, probably you can find it cracked somewhere).
Open Package Disabler Pro, search for "com.samsung.android.sm.devicesecurity", now you can disable it or if you don't want to disable it for whatever reason you have just click on it and after that a pop-up will appear on your screen with some options, just click on clear data.
Go to settings>applications>application manager> all , then scroll down until you see 'com.samsung.android.sm.devicesecurity'.
Go into that, then Force stop the app. Then, go to manage storage, then clear data and clear cache.
Now the integrated virus protection from Smart Manager is disabled
I've found this solution by myself.

If that is not relevant, why you ask then? It is a solution if you backup your device. Don't bother to reply, it's not relevant.....

Thanks a lot. Worked for me.
Many thanks for this thread. Had a false positive by the malware scanner (androidlost) that has been nagging with it'S warning and orange overlay counter over the settings button.
Just opened the app list and deleted the data of com.samsung.android.sm.devicesecurity.
This worked well. Thank you for your help.
I dont have com.samsung.android.sm.devicesecurity on my s8
How can I fix it
I've enabled system applets but I have nothing
I just bought the mentioned phone and I'm experiencing some weird problems on it. For example, I disabled most of the google apps by going to the App menu > Edit and disabled them by pressing the "minus" on the icon. Now if I want to re-enable them in Settings > Applications by going to the Disabled Apps section, pressing Enable and it gives me the option to DISABLE it again? WTF? Seems like I can't enable any app I disabled now..
The second thing is, it's more of a question really.. If I long press the home button, it only makes a short vibration and does nothing at all, is that normal or should something pop-up?
I mean really!? Ok, when you've pressed the enable toogle and the toggle becomes "disable" it means the app is already enabled and it gives you the option to disable it again.
Long press of the home button brings you to google now app, you must have disabled it.

I don't understand the bold text I quoted from you.. What do you mean? I clearly stated that I've disabled an app, and if I press to enable it, it offers me to disable it.. which is, already disabled?!?!?
Sorry for the misunderstanding but I don't get it how could I disable a already disabled app?!?

I mean when the button has the word "disable" on it. It means it's already running and app is ready for use.. Vice versa, if it has the word "enable" on the button.

I have DISABLED an app, therefore the app is DISABLED. If I want to enable it, the button there clearly says "Enable" but when I try to do that, I get a pop up as I was trying to disable it, which it already is.. Why don't you get it? xD

Ohh I get it now, if you've disabled it and the app is already updated, and you're trying to enable it again. Just click the pop up to disable it again, it just wants you to uninstall the updates and it reverts back to the apps factory version, and press the enable toggle again, the app will be enabled. You just have to reupdate the app again. In the touchwiz home you can directly disable an app but in the applications manager when you try to disable apps you have to uninstall the updates. Since disabling through the home launcher is just a shortcut.
Just touchwiz things.

It's normal, if you're not rooted. It's not really a bug, it's just a feature of touchwiz. My stock S5 and S4 has this, too.

Oh okay then.. I thought I got some faulty phone Any news on when is the ram management fix coming? Seems like my ram is staying at 80-90% at all times.. even when I'm not running any apps..
Also, do you recommend disabling the apps you don't use? For example I have disabled most of the google apps on there, since I'm not prone to use them..
I have it enabled on my account but there's only one default option in settings > advanced calling. Anyone experienced something similar? I tried resetting and power off and on to no avail.
Do you have any if the Verizon bloat frozen? I had to unfreeze all apps to get it enabled, now I wish I hadn't, I can't get Google voice to work again!
Nope.
I have the same problem, I enabled it when I got my phone but now I cannot find an option to disable it. When I enter the 'Advanced Calling' menu it asks if I want to activate but I have already done so. It goes through its routine and tells me I have it enabled already but it wont give me an option to turn it off.

Are you on stock or custom rom and have you seen the second option (underneath Activate Advanced Calling) to enable/disable before?

I am on stock *OC3 with some of the verizon bloat frozen, with root. Could the frozen apps have something to do with it? No I do not have a second option underneath.
This is what I see when I click 'Activate' even though its already been activated. When I reboot, I see the same thing all over again.
I am not sure, try unfreezing all the Verizon apps and see if it works.
I am on Clean Rom Lite 1.1 but other users have not experienced the same problem so it may just be something on my line/account.

I assure you, this post is intended for those who have locked their phones with applock apps and want to get their phone unlocked:angel:. However, if you wish to use the instructions on someone else's phone, it is entirely your responsibility.
I will try to remain as clear as possible throughout this tutorial.
So, let's cut to the chase.
Mehod-1
Force stop, Uninstall or Clear Data of the Applock app by going to Settings>Apps
This will not work if Advanced protection is turned on
Method-2
Boot into Safe Mode. This will disable the applock app.
To do this, long press the power button. The shutdown menu will appear. Long press on the shutdown/reboot button. A dialog box will appear saying "Do you want to boot into safe mode....etc". Press yes. Then when the phone reboots into safe mode, clear data or uninstall the applock app.
(THEORY: In safe mode, all user downloaded apps are disabled)
Method-3
See if you can access the play store or install any app. If so, download greenify/hibernate from play store or install the apk from elsewhere.
From greenify, greenify the applocking app.
From hibernate, hibernate the applocking app.
Please try the above methods and I'm sure you will find that they work. Please click on thanks below if you feel.
Hello,
I am using Poco F2 Pro with official global rom 12.0.3. I am facing the following issue:
I have some apps with background processes but the background processes are automatically killed after some time. For example the tool 'Screenshot Touch' needs to run in the background so that I can select it in the menu to make screenshots. But it is killed after some hours.
In the battery optimization, I have already excluded this app. Also, I have disabled the 'MIUI Optimization' in the developer options.
Any idea how to solve this?
Thank you and best regards
same problem with miband tool...

Try to make this tweaks
1.In settings go to apps-find the app what you want and click on it-at battery saver select no restrictions -turn on autostart option
2.press the button to enter in recent apps- find your app-long tap on that app and press the lock
Personally i use this for notify for miband

Yeah, for now just lock all apps that you use often, that works most of the time until you open GCam or the stock cam then it goes to sh*t again, I hope they fix this soon.

first disable battery optimization for the app, then long click your app, go to app info and allow automatic restart.

Battery optimization is disabled. But I did not find the option allow automatic restart.
But what seemed to have worked is to lock the app
Thanks

even locking isn't enough sometimes, automatic restart(I don't use English ROM) or automatic start is what you need, it is there in app info page.
i will try!
