Hi guys, my Captivate won't download apps from Android Market. Even if I turn wifi on or off. Any idea why this would be happening. It did this last week, I fixed it by restoring phone. I don't wasn't to do that every week though. Also when I force phone to check for updates its say "DM initialisation is not ready. Check network or sim card"
Maybe you should take it to the AT&T store - they may know whazzup.
I took it to store, call customer service, and spoke to Samsung customer service last week. Nothing they said or tried help. I figured out to restore it on my own would fix it..... none of them even suggested that option.
I know that this is an old thread but I thought it might be helpful if I post the solution to the “DM initialisation is not ready. Check network or sim card" when trying to check for an OTA update. It seems to be linked to task managers. If the process “Device Management” is not running in the background when you check for an update then you will receive the DM error message. What I do is add an exclusion to the Device Management process in my task manager.
it sounds like you'll need to do another reset. I had that problem when I tried a rom from the i9000 phone. It had left over remnants from the original rom. I'm back to the at&t rom again because it runs the smoothest and I like it the best though it's kind of ordinary.

Are you one of the Gear owners who loved the "Auto-Lock" feature in the Gear Manager settings that enabled your connected phone to be unlocked when your watch was near it and then locked if it was too far away? Well Samsung has decided to take that awesome feature away with it's latest Gear Manager OS update. It's bad enough that I feel unsupported due to the lack of apps Tizen has (doesn't have) and now they're starting to take away features from their wearables? AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO IS PISSED ABOUT THIS?!
Has anyone else noticed this feature gone? I've talked to someone online who says he still has the Auto-Lock box showing up in his Gear Manager settings after the update.
Yes gone in addition to now only a sender text in the glance pop ups, used to get part of the message.
Useless Samsung.
What version is that update?
One of the things that bugs me is that you cannot choose to ignore an update, or at least I don't know how to, as the app refuses to work without updating.
Hey people,
I have a weird problem on my SM-G920F: my Phone app doesn't have the "frequently contacted" section on the "Favorites" screen. I remember having the option since I got the phone, but I can't say when it exactly had disappeared. I am very fond of this option, and I've seen people on various forums talking about the same problem, but nobody found any real solutions (they only got it working sporadically and randomly).
Has anyone seen this problem before, or I missed an update to phone app that removed the frequently contacted list altogether? Is there a way to solve this without erasing everything?
I am running the latest stock rom (6.0.1) w/out root. I have my knox tripped (tried rooting before, failed but tripped knox, can't afford to try root now because of disk encryption since all the root options I've found don't work well with encrypted data).
EDIT: I contacted Samsung support and got a reply that in Android 6.0.1 they had removed this option. So there it is, if anyone else is looking for this.
It's the same on my S6.
You can see frequently contacts under the tab log

Well, that's the log. But there is no dedicated section with frequently contacted people. And it just disappeared.
Nobody yet confirmed that this is a feature (actually absence of), so naturally I treat this as a bug/glitch. Especially because there are people that have this section come and go randomly.
I am also adding a screenshot showing how it used to look like (and how it's supposed to be).
I wrote an email to the official Samsung support in my country, and got a reply that this option was removed starting from 6.0.1. So that's it - they are idiots that randomly remove working and useful features.
Will update original post with this info, and this is ok to close/lock.
A few days ago out of the blue my homepage in Chrome was changed from https://www.google.com to http://portal.fly2tech.com/?channel=13#!/, without me doing so. So i ran a malware check with Malwarebytes and nothing, so better safe than sorry i start looking at apps, com.android.partnerbrowsercustomizations.example is showing as a normal app, whereas before it was a hidden system app. My phone is running stock MM 6.0.1 with Nov 2016 security patches. Not rooted with stock recovery. As a precaution I did a factory reset, and everything was fine then just about an hour ago it changed again, to the fly2tech portal as homepage, i went into apps and the com.android.partnerbrowsercustomizations.example program was showing again, i selected the three dot menu in upper right and clicked uninstall update, at which point i was prompted if i wanted to revert a system app to previous version, I clicked yes, and it disappeared from apps back to hidden system app. I uninstalled chrome just to make sure I was getting a clean copy and so far no more fly2tech portal. I have fired off a support request to Alcatel. I certainly hope they are not pushing this garbage out to customers. Or there is a vulnerability that needs fixed!!! A google search has indicated this has happened to one touch devices from all I have seen....
Anybody else having this problem??
oops, Clicking that link crashed a few apps on my Chrome. Weird how that could be an Alcatel thing.

It did it again, i rolled back system app, they have also pushed an update to their updater app, I have disabled automatic updating of system and system apps, hopefully it doesn't do it again. I called Alcatel support today, they didn't deny it was them, but they created a ticket and will get back with me.
So I just got a phone call from Alcatel support, they are investigating, the guy said they are in touch with the dept in charge of FOTA updates to see if its something they are pushing or if there is a vulnerability at play. At least they are interested enough to actually call me for details....
Interesting....
That's what is usurp my stock browser for over a month. I set homepage to google.com but it'salways changed autonomous to this portal thing. It's like some mw on Windows doing it's job. Weird.

At this point I'm convinced Alcatel is pushing the customization, via the system update, and not any malware.... But they have no right to choose my homepage. I have blocked automatic updates to system and system apps so I'm going to run a few days and see if that fixes it...
I'm not sure that is the case cause mine have been disabled long time before this happened...

Well the problem has not repeated itself, since disabling automatic system app updates. I'm still waiting to hear back from Alcatel USA. I find it hard to believe they would force a customization on a phone that is not subsidized, and I could be entirely wrong about it being them, regardless if it's them or not, I don't think I should be forced into using a portal that keeps resetting itself to the homepage. If it's Alcatel, they need to stop, if it's a security vulnerability I hope they patch it.
I doesn't make sense. I've checked my updates to found out that i freezed the update app in titanium backup prior this homepage changes.

Well i spoke too soon, it has happened again, i guess until I get an answer I'm, just going to have to keep uninstalling updates to com.android.partnerbrowsercustomizations.example. which really stinks. If it gets too bothersome I'll just get a new phone
Weird stuff. I'm looking towards note7r

So Alcatel wants to send me another Idol 3 and wants to analyze my current phone... I'm glad they are taking this seriously
I have just discovered the same thing on mine. I'm going to freeze com.android.partnerbrowsercustomizations.example in Titanium Backup, and see what happens.

I have to call back the rep from alcatel us support Tomorrow afternoon, they want to examine my phone, not sure how comfortable I am sending my phone back to them, I will remove as much sensitive info as I can, but don't want to strip it bare, I want them to get to the bottom of the problem, but not sure how invasive they will be, but if it helps to stop the problem I guess it's worth it.... They are going to send me another Idol 3 to use while they investigate.... I thought about just doing an OOB restore via Mobile Upgrade Q, but if it's a vulnerability eventually it will creep back up on me, I guess the best bet for all of us is to let Alcatel disect my phone and determine how they can plug it....
Alcatel can always pull your info anytime anywhere you have connection to internet, as google and app developers.. so don't trip you are already been examined.

It's not a "bug" it's intentional. I froze it with Titanium Backup then after a couple of days I removed it completely. No more homepage jacking.
Of course, you must be rooted to do this.

Ok so Alcatel is acknowledging the issue and has asked that I refrain from making any modifications to device, including restore via Mobile Upgrade Q. At this point im sure someone at TCL has dropped the bomb, but I'm getting the feeling even the US support team knows this isn't gonna fly. If they want to force it, then push your own browser, don't mess with Chrome, I like my settings just the way they are. I'm giving it another week tops, then I shall root and set up my phone where it can't be violated. I can see a phone company forcing customizations on subsidized phones, but not on an unlucked phone bought outright....
So looks like they stopped pushing it...
Should we reset the phone to factory then? can't they just send an update?
Hey everyone,
I got thru doing a factory reset and installed all the Play Store app updates on my Samsung SM-J727T1 a little while ago. I use Metro PC for my cell carrier, and the few times in the past I've never received a email like the one I got a little while ago.
It looks like it's sent to someone with a LG Cell and I only have the Samsung. Could anyone when they have some free time take a look at this and see what u think it's something for my phone.
