Samsung Contacts Enhanced Features (won't take no for an answer) [solved] - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had a mass updating of apps a few days ago and ever since, I've been CONSTANTLY interrupted no matter what I'm doing. This stupid screen pops up and it doesn't care how many times I decline.

They did indeed have the answer.
Thank you so so so so so so very much!

The solution for me was to DECLINE the pop up every time.
Open the stock contacts app (orange button) and open my own profile (shown at the top of the contacts list).
From my profile, the first option was profile sharing, which was turned off. Click it on the text.. Don't toggle it on or off, you may hang up your phone.
It'll display your registered number at the bottom. Ignore that. You're going to deregister your number but you don't do it from there.
Click the menu or 'more' button at the top. Deregister your phone number.
Done.

Who spies after me?!

Hi.
I assume that someone spies against me. look at these 3 reasons:
1. my notification list contains a transparenr/black icon. see image (i marked the "hole" yellow frame):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
how can i know which app activates it? the active apps list seems pretty ok.
2. after i turn on my device (samsung galaxy s2) and wait for about a minute or so, i turn on the screen, want to draw my pattern but it screen tells me that i should wait 30 seconds, means that someone or somewhat has previousely tried to guess the pattern and failed to do so for 5 times. it happens every time i turn on the device.
3. my waze app sometimes loads by itself, even while i'm not touching the device.
what do you guys think?
Thanks!

UPDATE:
Resolved. Did not write it down, but found a running service I didnt recognize and disabled it - issue is gone.
Recently, this caller id/incoming call screen began popping up. If you hit answer, it will open to Samsung stock screen and let you swipe to answer. If you reject call, it just ends. I am up to date per Sprint (Android 7.0, Samsung 8.1, 4.4.16-11982677 kernel)
I cannot find any apps or running processes that could be causing it. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
TIA
Need an update on how to fix this.
Same problem. Driving me nuts.
Can anyone identify which service has taken over my phone answering screen?
Flashlight app. Idk how or why but when I uninstalled flashlight app this stopped. It took over my lock screen too
YES!!!
Removed flashlight app - problem solved. ?

Phone Dialer Sorting

So here is an issue so dumb, it shouldn't even be an issue, but here we are. The contact list in the stock dialer doesn't app doesn't sort correctly.
You can see here that in the settings screen, it it set to sort by first name:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And it works correctly in the standalone contacts app:
But in the dialer app is apparently like, "whatever, YOLO", and just does whatever the hell it wants:
So as a first time OnePlus user I'm a little out of the loop here. Is there a fix or a hidden setting for this I'm not seeing? Is it a known issue that might get fixed some day? Or is this a "feature", and how many other "features" can I look forward to?
Hey HeyMrDeadMan,
did you resolve the issue? In my case sorting is correct for some time (a few days) and then reverts to LastName, FirstName. Rebooting the phone corrects the sort. I am at my wits end.
Let me know.
Cheers!

What are these messages called and how can they be disabled?

This message appears when I switch windows when writing a new email in the Nine email app. This message blocks the keyboard and is annoying, so I would like it disabled. Since theres no way to turn if off in the app settings, I would like to disable this notification through more advanced means. First I want to know what it is called so I can search for a xposed module or some other mod that removed it all together. I don't like useless pop up message. I find them to be about as annoying as bugs crawling on my screen.

That is a toast
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop-up_notification
https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/toasts.html
On my LOS20 there is a setting "Dont show pop-notifications on screen" but not sure if that does the trick for you...
Q: Disable app's toast messages?
groups.google.com
According to this they can be disabled on an app basis using adb. Which is just what I want.
