Starting yesterday I keep getting the notification "Update ICS? A new version of Interactive and Customized Services (ICS) is available. You need to update to continue." whenever I open up Bixby (from home or button) but hitting the update button simply closes the prompt window and opens it again without updating anything. Any help? Canadian model SM-G955W. I've tried deleting data and cache from app settings.

We have two S8+ phones in out household. Both have exactly the same problem. Have you managed to find a fix to this?
Same problem here. Very weird.

What is the application called?
Has anyone figured this out yet? Installing the latest version from apkmirror does not fix the issue btw. Seems like quite a screw up on Samsung's part. Anywhere to download the new version of ICS and install it manually?

Well in my case when i got the ICS notice ,
i kept on tapping on it ,whenever notice kept on appearing.
I still vaguely remember i still switched from my wifi to cellular 4G.
Don't know if this helped, but for me it seems so .!
and eventually it did some update ? Result no more nagging ICS notice to update.
( i was busy on phone with other apps and not really paying attention to notice )
I am currently on Bixby v 1.9.26
Plse note,
that above happened about 2 days ago .
and i have no issues with Bixby or nagging ICS update since then .
My first impression, after update was
that Bixby seemed much more smoother and responsive .?
Now it just seems normal .!!
but then the " saying" goes something like this......
" ...first impression are normally right/correct ? "
Bottom line is Bixby is very smooth for me !
If phone wakes up( sleep mode etc ) i normally have to double tap but after that one tap .
99 % of time it's working, with only one button tap .
Facing the same issue. Tried. Switching from. Wifi to data and still try into update.

This is the correct answer. I didn't even have to update ICS after installing THIS. Bixby just works!
I downloaded the file service client 1.1.01-0 cleared bixby cache and data. Restart and installed bixby again... all working on my SGS6 edge... so big thanks to YOG16063

Hi All,
I'm running 4.3.1 Beanstalk rom.
I been trying to download BBM messenger off the play store but says its incompatible. I'm wondering if it's the rom that's making it so. I don't wanna wipe phone and go back to default rom just for this app.
If anyone knows a work around please help.
much appreciated.

I found a copy of the apk file in the wild, enabled 'install from unknown sources' in the settings (under Security I think?, it's been awhile), and then use a file manager to open the BBM apk from your downloads folder, and then install it. Basically you are bypassing the Play Store, and trusting that the apk you got hasn't been messed with. It's a bit of a leap of faith, and if you download a hacked version that steals all your data, not my fault, so don't cry if it happens.

Thanks for the reply.
I got an older version I believe. I think the play store one is v 2.0 something and the one I got is 1.10 but its working fine. Just added bunch of frnds. Chat with one of them and seem legit.
Those version numbers don't jive with what I know. The version I have is 1.0.0.70, latest play store is 1.0.0.72

You can't (well, you can download it, but it won't work), it only supports Android 4.0 and up. Any reason why you haven't upgraded?

Is Kies up to date? If so, check your cable or USB port on your phone (among other things).

Mate DO NOT WORRY!! It's something common that happens to people on Custom ROM... It happened to me when I was in BeanStalk!! What I did was:
1) Download Aptoide
2) Download BBM from Aptoide
And it worked! Trust me. You don't have to uninstall any update from the store or anything like that. Just follow my steps.
I have Feedly, Appy Gear and Vivino installed on my Note 3 , but they do not show up at all in Gear Manager or on my watch. In fact, no downloaded apps appear on my watch. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Gear Manager , reset my Gear 2 and still no luck. The clock faces download and show up just fine.

The apps will install for me , but only on my phone, not on the watch. I have not found an answer anywhere for this as well.
I solved my "app not installed" error. I was running a custom rom and kernel. Went back to stock rooted and solved the problem.

Hi all,
i just got my Samsung S3 Gear classic and i was excited to get it working with my mobile. I download the Samsung gear app and turn the watch on, found the watch in the app and followed the messages. It asks to pair the devices and then to download the Samsung plug in and accessory from the apps stores. After completing these actions, the Samsung Gear app tries to connect to the phone and then the screen changes and shows the phone is pair but not connected. See pictures attached. This means i can only pair the phone but i can use the app to enable the functionalities. Every time i tried to connect it just takes me to the same screen. I tried resetting the watch, installing again all programs, tried the watch with Samsung phone (works fine), tried other watches with my mobile (same issue repeated) etc but never made them work.
Does anyone knows how to make the gear app work with the Z5? Are these devices compatible?
Thank you in advance for the support.
My Gear S2 works with my Z5 Compact.
Hi dersie,
did you follow the process as described above and works with your S2?

I have a Z5 Premium and it works fine with my S3. Are you on the stock Sony ROM?
The problem might be a rooted or modified phone.
Try this modded version of the gear app:

I just installed the Samsung Gear App. So yes, download them and just install them.
The other 3 apps are installed automatically from PlayStore. If not you can install them manually too.

This means the Samsung Gear app from PlayStore is still installed.
Check settings > apps and uninstall it > Reboot your phone.

I always stuck on the same step, pairing the phone and while gear tries to connect then return to the previous screen and do not connect...not sure i got many options here.
For some stupid reason I am getting 2 chrome app icons in app drawer. I have tried clearing data and uninstalling reinstalling both nova launcher and chrome ( updates ).
But still this problem presists. Moreover in Funtouch OS , there is only one chrome app. In app clone option also chrome is not visible.
When I try to hide it in Nova launcher settings ,both Chrome main app as well as Chrome 2nd app disappears.
And in settings->more settings->Applications there is no Chrome app to unistall.
Please help.

Running out of suggestions here,this sux,even if a minor bug at most,still would be nice to figure out the cause...
Perhaps there's a bug in that version of Chrome,I'm running version 67.0.3396.87
Have you tried side-loading the version I linked?
If so,anything different?
EDIT,I see that's the version you had installed,prior to removing the updates...
