anybody else have two software update options in settings? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

So yeah as the title states i have two different software update options in my settings app... See screenshot
I'm thinking maybe one is the stock Samsung updater and the other is AT&T just not sure why both are showing all of the sudden. Only had the one since the 15th and now today there are 2
EDIT: That's what it is. If i look in my package disabler there are 3 different update packages com.wssyncmldm, com.ws.dm, com.sec.android.soagent
wssyncmldm always used to show up as disabled i must have accidentally re-enabled it

One of them is apparently disabled from the factory... I must have accidentally re-enabled it and that's why it was showing up. Weird though that wouldn't just use the same updater for all the variants

If you disable just this one com.ws.dm,
You won't get Software Update, till you enable, you only need that one disable if don't want Software Update OTA!

[Q] Gear 2 and Samsung App Store issue

Thank you in advance for reading my thread!
I am trying to install a few apps from the samsung store. When I click on the app it says "View app in Gear Manager".
When I first tried to install them they didn't successfully install. The app is not on my gear2 therefore I cannot uninstall it. It does not appear in gear manager.
Is there a way around this? Sideloading the app is something I want to avoid if at all possible.
I have tried the following things so far...
1. Factory reset the galaxy gear
2. Factory reset the phone and galaxy gear together
3. Deleted my samsung account and made a new one.
4. Force uninstalled the samsung app and reinstalled it.
5. Force uninstalled the gear manager and reinstalled it.
I am pretty out of ideas. It seems insane that there isn't a reinstall button on the thing.
Any advice is appreciated!

The one I have installed from the Samsung store has a screenshot of it being connected to a gear 2 so I assume it is compatible. 2.1.14

Following this thread... I updated my Gear Manager and lost some watches from the gear app store. Tried to reinstall them, but app store says installed, while the apps are not visible in the app list or on the watch itself.

Ended up returning the Gear 2 and preordered a gear live instead.
At this point there really isn't any reason to own a Tizen gear.

Galaxy S5, rooted - Android Pay blocked. What is the latest state of play on workarounds for this?
According to this, android pay will not work on rooted phones
http://www.xda-developers.com/android-pay-no-longer-working-with-systemless-root/
mine is NOT rooted app starts its when adding the card its states it does not recognize if the device is supported
Mine allows me to confirm my card details then says that the authorisation has failed as "Google does not accept cards from all us territories" ?? (Non-rooted)
ok gonna take a shot in the dark with this one, i recon that maybe you must have the banking app installed from participating banks maybe?

However, this information seems to be about 4 months old.; also, the article mentions a workaround. My question was really aimed at finding out whether there might be any more recent developments of use to UK users, as Android Pay only just launched here.

N920PVPS3BQA1 update

If you have package disabler pro installed (version 6.3 or below), do not update. Back up your current disabler settings, uninstall the disabler, install N920PVPS3BQA1, then reinstall disabler version 6.3. do not update it from the play store as it will prevent you from disabling certain packages. The newest version is 7.1.
if you currently have version 6.3 installed and update to N920PVPS3BQA1, the disabler will not be allowed to activate until updated from the play store to version 7.1, which doesnt allow disabling sytsem updates and a few other items.

Android 7, Nougat is arriving by end of February.
Nougat on Sprint Galaxy Note 5 by end of Feb? That'll be great!
Is that legit the Note is getting Nougat? is there an official announcement or pure speculation on this?
I'm trying to find the article that was on Yahoo! news the other day; it said that it was confirmed that the S6, S6 plus and Note-5 would get the update by end of this month.

I don't know if this is true, but few days ago I read about an update in android 6.0.1 with grace update for note 5, and yesterday I receive poll from samsung asking me about note 5 and the possibility to sell this device.
I'm running this with twisted note kernel. Is there a Hotspot fix someone could point me towards?

Hmm. Not entirely true. I think it's a matter of signature. I was able to install 5.0.40.15 of the Messaging app without problems. Even with the Email app from Pie, it did so as well though somehow its API was reduced from 27 to 26 and lower. Well, we just have to wait for the dev for his next update of the app and maybe it'll install successfully by then.

Can't install older version again ? even when i unistall from store and re install it again
