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..
Hi,
My phone is rooted, decrypted and TWRP as a recovery, but still running the stock ROM. I'm looking to disable the notification telling me an OTA update is available. I'm guessing I can't easily upgrade the phone without loosing root or worse? The update isn't really that important to me at the moment. I would just like to disable the notification reminding me all the time. Seems there used to be an easy way of doing this on earlier Android versions, but not on Marshmallow? Or maybe Samsung makes this harder?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Anyone? Would love to be able to dismiss the notification without upgrading.

Why dont you try to freeze the notification with titanium .
I am not sure but try freezing com.wssyncmldm and com.sec.android.soagent
Try also com.samsung.firmware.nfc com.samsung.firmware.sensorhub com.samsung.android.firmware.tsp
I am not rooted but disabled them with package disabler
I think if you freeze them all updating menu doesnt work at all
Thanks, I'll give it a shot soon. I'm waiting for my Micro-SD-card to arrive. Right now, my phone is too full to take a Nandroid-backup. I'd like to take a backup before I freeze the ones you mentioned, just in case.

Freezing com.wssyncmldm and com.sec.android.soagent did the trick. Well, most of the trick at least. It removed the notification from the pull-down menu, and hence the lockscreen. It didn't remove it from the settings menu. Tried freezing the other three packages as well, but it didn't seem to change anything else. At least not visual. Removing the notification in the settings menu as well would be great, but at least I got rid of the most annoying one.
So again, thanks!
If anyone know of a way to remove the notification in settings (the white large notification "billboard" at the top :laugh: ), let me know..

I dont have that
why dont you try to go to notifications advanced more and show system apps. Maybe you can disable the notification from there. "System" is present there.
I was having the same issue with ota notification. My sprint S7 is not rooted (obviously, lol) so I disabled com.wssyncmldm and com.sec.android.soagent as you suggested with Package Disabler Pro and it got rid of the notification. Actually, when I disabled com.wssyncmldm the notification went away instantly so not sure if com.sec.android.soagent was necessary but I left it disabled as well.
Thanks!

Same here
Same issue here. I really don't want the 7.0 upgrade as I just downgraded back to 6.0.1. I don't want to root my phone. But is there an easy way to turn off this notification that is in 2 spots right now?

Sorry about the late reply. If you read earlier in the thread, I used Package Disabler Pro (if I remember correctly). I.e post #9.
Got the package disabler pro app. Best $1.49 i've spent on play store no more nagging.
Hey guys,
I accidentally started downloading the 7.0 update and quickly stopped it, and have that annoying pop-up as well. I have the China variant of the s7, g9300, and I don't see com.wssyncmldm and com.sec.android.soagent in the package disabler pro app. So, I'm a bit confused. Anyone have any ideas?!

Did PDP recently revert back to allowing com.wssyncmldm and com.sec.android.soagent to be disabled? My information is the PDP developers made some sort of deal with Samsung to eliminate control of those packages by PDP. And that explanation seems consistent with many folks claiming that the new versions of PDP no longer work to remove the update nags. I know that my PDP installation became ineffective against the many update nags I was encountering each day. It was so frustrating that I uninstalled PDP and replaced it with Note 7 Alliance's Shield package disabler, which worked. But I'm just wondering if PDP works again now as well?

Flash a different modem
Why would that help? It's not related to the problem. Either way, I've flashed a custom ROM. The problem is gone for me.
Thanks, though.

Sorry for the late response. It seems this may be the case. In fact, if you search the play store PDP does not even show up anymore. Just the "engine" which is not the fully functional app. What's even more strange is PDP does not show up in google play purchase history which seems to happen if they remove the app.
Many times when I access the bixby screen the weather card will keep updating without showing any info and it stays like that for days and its draining the battery. Any help?
Hello,
No problem for me, a little silly question:
Did you activate the gps?
check the disabled apps on your pacakge disabler pro. I am assuming you have that and have disabled a bunch of apps..

Must be some 3rd party app you installed.
It has either "draw over apps" rights (Settings->Security->Draw over apps) or even root rights (if you are rooted).
remove the permissions one by one and reboot to find the culprit app

Can you guys go to settings->developer options: running services and send a screenshot of all running services?
also are you guys rooted?
Also pulling a logcat might shed some light into it.
Well this is both scary and good. It just stopped. If it starts again I'll take screen shots and post.
No I'm not rooted.
Well cancel that... It started again... Incoming requested info.
I'm having this problem on my Pixel XL. As soon as I deleted "Zedge" it went away. I redownloaded it and I am trying to replicate the "offline" message to see if it goes away again when I uninstall Zedge.

@Nsain1 got Zedge installed as well. Wonder how it can draw an overlay though without the "draw over apps permission".
ES File Explorer is also often a goo candidate when it comes to weird ads and such.

I stopped using ES Explorer a long time ago. It's not installed on my phone.
So I uninstalled Zedge and ES Explorer and rebooted. The message is still coming up. I appreciate the suggestions. This is odd for sure.
Not rooted. I wonder what app is causing this, it will notify offline even though i am connected to wifi, and it will not show up if i will turn off wifi.
