I've had an S6 from Verizon for 6 years now It's on Android 7 and has been ported away from Verizon a couple months ago.
I travel a lot overseas and always use local SIM cards instead of roaming on Verizon. This worked fine for 4 years. In October (I still have a Verizon account at this point) I started seeing popup Something went wrong, call us at 1-800-922-0204, Error 1000) I searched a lot Verizon itself is clueless. Come back to the states, the popup goes away. Port to Mint, the popup is not there. Get slammed by T-Mob for a weekend, the popup comes back, return to Mint, no popup. Now back to Europe and popup is there. Randomly and many times a day.
I traced it to Verizon Login in System apps. I can clear data, Force Stop, but it randomly restarts itself. Yet again Verizon s clueless on how to remove their own app. Tried disabling Cloud, My Verizon, etc - to no avail. The phone, of course, is unlocked and works, bit the popup is maddening.
So, any ideas on what to do? How to permanently block Verizon Login from restarting? Please help!
Please help!
Tried different settings for APN, turning Mobile Data off. The popup caused by Verizon Login is there no matter what.
Any thoughts?

so I switched from Verizon to a smaller cheaper company called page plus. and the retailer for page plus flashed my phone or whatever he did to be able to make the carrier switch. im now having an issue where a Verizon app pops up asking for my login but only on Wi-Fi. its not taking me to a browser page but an app popup. I tried logging in with my creds but it does not recognize to account.. being that I have cancelled with them in all. ive also tried removing any Verizon bloatware I could see (i.e. anything that looked suspicious) but still a no go. anyone got an idea how or what I can do to fix the issue? like is there something specific you know of that I must delete? thx 4 any help provided!
I have a stock Galaxy S5 from Sprint and recently came across this issue where SMS will not send unless I'm connected to WiFi or have data on. I've never run into this issue before and searching online has only brought me to people having issues specifically with data ON. I have a data limit on my plan so it's usually off unless I need to check emails or something important when I'm not home but texting has never been an issue for me until two days ago. They just sit in limbo of trying to send for at least 20min before I get an error "Message Not Sent" and it's infuriating.
I've tried some of the fixes others have suggested when their issue was with data being on but nothing worked. I resorted to a factory reset and I still have this problem. It will work after a restart but only for a short time. It hasn't been dropped, it hasn't been worked on in the past, opened up, rooted, or any other sort of thing that might have contributed to this issue. I thought it had something to do with this roaming message I used to get about "data being off due to leaving the home network" but I've never messed with my roaming settings and this message would happen before I've come into this SMS issue.
TL;DR
Data/WiFi off = no SMS
I performed a factory reset using the Volume Up + Home button + Power button method.
When I rebooted the phone, I get a screen stating that the SIM card is activated and it has my phone number displayed. Pressing next gets me to the Samsung Account sign in screen.
It says that abnormal factory reset was done and that I need to sign in to my Samsung account to verify my identity.
When I try to sign in, it tries for a while and then I get a message that flashes momentarily, stating the there was an "error while connecting to SSL."
I know my Samsung user id and password are good since I can log in to my Samsung account through my PC.
I have a no WiFi indicator on the status bar, just LTE so I don't understand the SSL part.
Calling Samsung was no help. After almost an hour of online chat and calling the the help desk they switched me to their account support dept who said there was nothing wrong with my account and I need to call the jhelp desk again.
I have tried hard reset more than once with the same result.
Is there a way to get around this Samsung Account sign in screen so I can set up my phone?
Edit. Stock Lollipop no root
Edit: To add more information.
I purchased this phone on EBAY. I am trying to contact the seller to obtain the userid and password he used to set up the phone. I am not sure if I can get it or if this will solve my problem. Am I screwed or i there some other way around this problem?

Hate to say, but you probably bought a stolen phone. There was an article somewhere in Q&A about getting around it but I couldn't say if it works or not, and getting support for this here is a little taboo. None of us want to be responsible for helping someone hack into a stolen device.
Understood but the iemi was clean and I was able to activate it on Pageplus which is a Verizon mvno.

Google Samsung S6 reactivation lock bypass. Try calling Samsung again, maybe even Verizon if you can't get hold of the seller from EBAY.
Yeah. Seller claims he never created a Samsung Account id. (Beginning to suspect origin of phone) Samsung said they don't have service centers in my area and the one in Atlanta (closest to me) is no longer in service. Haven't tried Verizon yet but what the heck. Time to return to seller for refund.
Hello,
I have a question. For a long time i was able to buy apps and in game stuff trough my T-Mobile billing.
Now i have changed my sim card, and after that out of nowhere it stopped. T-Mobile says im still able to buy trough billing,
but I never receive a text message with the DCB. Perhaps i have denied it once? Without my knowledge.
Is there any way to reset this, to force the popup to come up again?
Or is there any way to reset the full permutations given?
I'm using a Nexus 6, with PureNexus rom. Have tried all settings, reset permittions in settings.
Thanks a lot!

I am very, VERY confused. This makes absolutely no sense to me. I believe my phone is just fried but I will find out when I take it into the sprint store tomorrow. I will most likely get a new/replacement phone but they will have no idea what caused the problem and I need to figure out how this happened so it won't happen again. I'm also very curious as I don't understand at all.
The problem: It started with me not being able to connect to the internet on ANY of my apps. No crashes or anything, just no connectivity to the internet. Calls and SMS still worked like normal. After calling sprint support they told me dial ##72786#, which then just simply broke calls and SMS. Now NOTHING works.
What caused the problem: This is where I am most confused. I was trying to setup a VPN (purevpn, to be exact) on my Xbox One. In the process of this, I was modifying my router settings on my Windows 8 PC, plugged in a 2nd router, and constantly turned the wifi off and on. I was using my phone to test if the wifi was still working. (e.g. going to google.com on firefox or launching clash of clans...literally that was it) The only thing that I can think may have messed it up was a step in settings up the VPN. On my computer, after I installed the purevpn software I located myself to "Network and Sharing Center", then clicked "Adapter Settings", then clicked on "Pure VPN", then "Sharing", then checked the box "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection", and lastly from the drop down menu, selected "Local Area Network." This allowed all devices on my network to use the VPN. Somehow this messed up my phone that hard?

Steps I have taken to fix this: I tried rebooting my times a million times. Then I cleared DNS cache in firefox and tried to connect. Then I tried hard rebooting my phone to flush DNS cache. Then I called sprint support, who told me dial ##72786#. After dialing this, calling and SMS DO NOT WORK. "Hands free activation" starting running after dialing that number and fails to work everytime. When I wasn't able to call the phone rep back, I used the sprint online chat support. I told the online rep what happened, and they assured me the only way to fix this was to factory reset my phone. As frustrated as I was, I did it. After the factory reboot, my phone STILL CAN'T CONNECT TO ****. Exactly how it was before the reboot, except I lost all of my stuff. I have done countless google searches and am clueless and need help.
Google will push all your stuff back to the phone after you log into your account. But you'll need the internet for that.
How did you get root?

I really don't remember, It was months ago. I paid $30 for it though and have never had issues with it.
Just brought it into a sprint tech store and they fixed by putting in a fresh sim card, reseting the phone, cache, dns, and everything they could reset. After that did not work they flashed an updated version of my phones software on the phone, which removed the root , and fixed the issue.
I explained what I did to all of the employees in the store (I was the only one there) and they were all as clueless as me.
Does anyone know what could have possibly caused this?
