I have been seeing this yellow exclamation mark for a few weeks now. Sometimes it goes away, but comes back after some time.
I have no problems in getting app updates, even when the exclamation mark is there.
Does anyone know what it is and how to get rid of it?
Go to the store settings and turn off notifications about available updates. If you previously turned off stock notification for the Store, turn it back on and then go to the store settings and set what you want.

Notifications are all ON both in system settings as well as within the app.
I tried turning them OFF and then back ON, but the exclamation mark is still present.
Could it be that there is some app which has an update available, but Play Store is unable to show it?
Well, you're supposed to turn off app update notifications in the Google Store, not turn them on.

I have turned them OFF from within Google Play Store app (which also automatically turned them off in system settings). The exclamation mark is now gone (although it didn't go away immediately when I turned them off).
I'll keep an eye and let you know if it comes back.
That said, why does it happen? I don't see any such error on my other phone where everything is ON.

Because all devices are not equal and do not have exactly the same operating systems, features, settings or functions. Just because "this" device does/doesn't do a certain thing or have a certain thing, does not mean "that" device does/doesn't do it or have it.

You solved it didn't you? It went away didn't it? It stands to reason that since the changes that you made removed it, the things you changed would seem to have been the solution, even though it didn't go away immediately after those changes. The delay was probably a result of the notification icon staying until the next time the update check process ran in the background, it still scans for updates in the background, it just tell you you if it finds anything anymore.
It must what has already been told to you, it is part of the notification process to let you know you have available updates. Turning of all(more than one setting) update notifications should solve this, i.e. turn of update notifications in PlayStore and turn off update notifications in settings, including turning off system/system app updates and any other similar update notifications, you may have to check in different places and disable more than 1 or 2 settings.

I had this once and it means that app update is not finished ( or couldn't update) and you have to update that app again.

I think so too. There is some app that isn't updating, and Google Play Store is unable to show which app that is.

It pops up once every couple days and just won't stop, even after adjusting the app optimization settings. Just keeps informing me of a feature I'm fully aware of. Anyway to stop this?
You can go to app notification option by pull down your notification bar and long press on the apps and turn on "block notifications"
What does it want from me?! Is there a setting, besides shutting it off, to disable that?
Oh nice!
I always forget about that feature, thanks!

No, I want the optimization feature active. I DON'T want the notification every 2 days. It keeps reminding me about the optimization feature as if I've never touched it. That on off you're talking about turns the whole feature on and off.
Briankbl is right, long pressing the notification does not give the option to disable the notification like most other apps. I've also been wanting to know a way to disable the notifications without disabling the feature. It's annoying for me too!
You can only hide the lockscreen notifications. Hopefully, at receiving Taskbar notifications every other day, it'll only be 10 or 20 more notifications before we OTA to 6.0 and don't have to deal with it anymore lol.
Any idea if this *beeping* notification is actually still active in 6.0? Or are we just hoping it goes away...because it's aggravating. So very, very aggravating...

Whatever - this only started impacting some users 2 days ago, so these other threads have not addressed the issue or closed it yet. (Yes, this is a dev. forum not a user forum.)
I take it, the notifications cannot be disabled without disabling the entire process.

hmmmm what do you think I was responding too because your answer to me makes no sense. but OK... Have a good day
It's been pissing me off as well, along with the daily volume notification that leaves me on my motorcycle every day wondering why my bluetooth headset is silent. So is this Samsung's meddling again, or is it Google this time?
I have the same issue. Since the last update on my Galaxy S4 (GT-I9515). The notification every few days is annoying as hell.
So annoying!!!
I threw my phone against the wall and smashed it because of that stupid annoying notification.
(Well not really but I feel like it)
I finally just turned that stupid feature off. It's not worth the annoyance.
I didn't like QB9 (Nougat) and rolled back to QA1 (MM Jan update). Turns out there is also QB1 which is the MM Feb update. Can someone share N920VVRS3BQB1 please?
I'd like to get that also but the only places I've seen it want $$ just to download it - some as much as $25.00. That is the version I've got on my phone (BQB1) but since I'm not rooted I don't think there is a way to get a copy. I tried to see if there was an update in /cache/fota with ADB but no luck (probably since it's not rooted). I know the BQA1 is easy enough to find. If I recall I did see one place that wanted only $1 for the download but I wasn't sure if it was a good download - never heard of the site and I think it was in a language I didn't know.
---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------
By the way - you were able to roll back from QB9 (Nougat) to MM QA1 with no problem ?
I managed to find QB1 via Google. Search for "N920VVRS3BQB1 Download Firmware – Samsung Update". It's on the first page. Hope it helps.
Using ODIN, I flashed QB1 (my phone had QB9) but it got stuck on the Verizon logo boot loop. I went into the custom menu and did a factory reset. It booted fine afterwards and it was QB1, not QB9. Today I got an alert to update to QB9 but I selected "Later". I want remove that prompt permanently. Any ideas?
Awesome - thanks so much! I spent a lot of time looking for that but that is the first time I was able to find it as a free d/l. I think there are a number of ways to stop OTA updates. This phone I have isn't activated but I still block updates using a couple things like BK disabler and Startup manager from this site: (no www) downloadandroid.info - it's half way down the page. Once installed go to the 'System' column and click on the plus sign on the right for "System Updates" and it will block it from startup up on your phone. I think there may be some other things to block with BK disabler like Samsung push service. Also there are some methods to just remove notification - Googling got this as a first hit:
Disable OTA Notification
Swipe down the notification panel and tap and hold the OTA notification card.
Now tap the info icon.
Doing so will take you the App notifications page for Google Play services.
Just tap the Block option to enable or disable update notifications.
Oh and I forgot if you don't want any updates I assume you know how to turn on "Developer Options" - just look in there and turn of 'Auto update system'.

Just a heads up.. You might want to be careful with some of the "apk" apps that you choose to install onto your phone from those types of websites like that and the reason I say this is because while you think you're installing an app to kill the OTA update notification, inside of that same apk is more than just the OTA update notification blocker there can be any number of other features included such as the ability of the person who made that app to download all the information from your phone, text messages, emails, calls and anything else they choose and they can even turn the camera on and you wouldn't even know it's recording you and listening to everything.. I'd stick with the Play Store really because they check for malicious code and apps whereas those websites don't care, they're just a hosting platform. The other thing is that, that app requires administrators access to the phone and that gives it the ability to do a lot more than you think!
Thanks for the advice on that. I'm not sure where I got it for my own phone but I normally upload everything I get to virustotal.com (which now also checks android apk files) where it's scanned by some 50 or more antivirus scanners. I also run CM Security which I believe is one of the best so anything that goes on my phone is normally fairly well checked out by the time it's installed. Cheetah Mobile Security scans it as soon as it's installed and while I know some people say you don't need AV if you are only getting from the Play store I have read enough stories to say that doesn't always hold true. That site I pointed ynag to was just the first site I found when I googled that App as I don't believe it was on the Play store. And it's good for everyone to have the philosophy of "intstaller beware"
I have a note 5 with that build (n920vvrs3bqb1) that boots to recovery. It says custom on startup logo screen. Which firmware do i use to flash back to stock

Hey everyone, i have been having this annoying error/pop-up/notification that has been bothering me since i got the Note 8. Everytime i turn on the screen to unlock it, i get the "Network connection failed" message.
Now, this happens, when i have cell signal at full bars, LTE or Wi-Fi and at all different locations. I tried resetting the phone, adding the apps without any sort of backup, deleting apps, switching my carriers APN, I tried replacing the phone but it always comes back.
I tried contacting Samsung but they are clueless as to what i am taking about.
Does anyone have any suggestions into how i could proceed to fix this, or is anyone aware of what the problem is?
Who is your carrier?

Contact your carrier. This has nothing to do with Samsung.

Same issue
I have this same issue - annoying but no negative affects...
Verizon is my carrier - I am not so sure this is a carrier issue. In fact, not sure how someone with so little information can definitively say it is a carrier issue...More will report this issue too!
I have the same issue. Verizon
I believe this has something to do with the aggressiveness of power management sleeping apps...see if you still get the error after switching mobile data always on in developers options...I had to switch some of apps off in power saving mode as well because of the aggressiveness...it could be something else though...just an idea
Same problem here I have a Qualcomm carrier free note 8 using it on T-Mobile. It's driving me crazy
Note 8 - T-Mobile
I have just recently encountered this error.
Drives me crazy as well.
This feels like an application issue. I am obviously not certain. Going to do some digging.
If I find a solution, I will report it here.
I think it has to do with download booster.
Same Issue 11-9-17
Has anyone found a solution for this? I'm also having this issue as of 11-9-17. Have tried enabling/disabling download booster, enabling/disabling mobile data always on and have tried a few network resets with Verizon Tech Coach.
I got all the way up to Tier 2 and every person I spoke to agrees this is a weird issue they haven't seen before. Mine seems to come and go. Sometimes I can get hit with the pop-up every time I unlock, other times it'll behave fine for hours then start up again for a little bit then stop. Thankfully there is no impact to operation, but still annoying.
Anyone figure this out...it is driving me crazy.
this is a combination of power saving and the "show nearby locations" in the phone app being active.
can turn off either and issue should disappear.
I have this happening on my s8. Haven't figured out which app/service is causing it but I killed a bunch and the error went away. It's likely one of the hundred background Samsung services. I'll try to narrow it down.
same for me

I also have Verizon. It used to happen on my Nexus 6P and now Pixel 2. If I ever figure out which app, I'll let you know.
Mine randomly stopped about 2 weeks ago. I know there have been a couple updates since my post so I'm not 100% sure if those fixed or if it was something else. Still a mystery as far as I'm concerned.

This seemed to work but just now saw the error again when I unlocked my phone. I turned "show nearby locations" in the phone app back on, will look into power save options next.
I've had this problem for probably close to a year and I'm really getting tired of it, even though it's just a nuisance.
I went into settings<connections<more connection settings<turned off nearby device scanning and then reset network connections which got rid of the notification on the bottom of the screen. I'm sure it'll keep popping up but for now that's what worked for me
Is there a solution for this yet? Is there any way to disable the message? Every time I change from WiFi to Mobile or vice-versa, I have to deal with this for the next 10 min or so. I have tried all the fixes mentioned here.
Solution
Install the app Toast Service from the Playstore. This will run in the background and show you which app is causing the problem. Mine was Hikvision. As soon as the error arrives you will see under notifications when you pull down from the top which app is causing the message. Hope this helps all.
Hello, dear friends! I (and many other OneUI 4 users) stumbled upon a problem of "System UI" constantly (every 3-5 minutes) accessing the location (as seen from Permission Usage).
In my case turning off Wi-Fi, mobile data or bluetooth does not stop the location usage. No location-based Bixby routines are running, no Smart Tags are used. Every single option regarding location (apart from completely disabling it) is toggled off - but the location keeps getting used by System UI. The only way to stop it is, of course, to simply turn off location entirely.
Resetting all settings or just network ones does not help.
If you google "System UI constanly accessing location" you will find a lot of people with this problem, but so far no solution has been found.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Yeap, quit invasive behavior.
I turn off location unless I need it to be running.
My N10+/Pie behaves the same way.
Wearables will not run without location permissions however if location is disabled it will run. I normally run with Google play Services disabled as well unless needed.

That's interesting. You sure it's not chewing up bandwidth at the same time? That can definitely cause lagging. Try in safe mode to rule out a 3rd party app. The possibility of malware comes to mind or perhaps it's a glitch indigenous to that firmware.
If you can't find the root cause sometimes a work around is the only solution.

Find my Device is something I don't miss.
Ha-ha you figured out that it needed to be disabled as System Administrator to toggle off Google Play Services
Keeping it with you at all times* and never lay it down unless in a secured location. It's a responsible frame of mind that many have lost as a skillset. There's no substitute for physical security.
It seems a bit complicated at first, but it's really not once you understand the flow put and dependencies. After a bit it becomes second nature to use the device like this. A little extra time in return for better SOT and security.
*I always wear bdu pants so the N10+ easily and securely nests in the cargo pocket. Easy as pie.
Develop a carry method that works well for you and protects the device. Get in the habit of making a mental note were you laid it down in the house, etc. Be consistent. Lol, my N10+ and my Gerber Strongarm are always with me
I'm happy with the battery performance, but only when the screen is on. When I use the phone mostly with the screen on, I get good SOT(6-9 hours), but with the screen off, the battery consumption is terrible. How can I pull this down?
Probably a cloud app; try temporarily disabling Google play Services, Google backup is a dependency as is Playstore, Gmail. Some apps also need it to run. I enable it once or twice a day. Disabled saves 1+%@hr.
Trashware social media apps like fb, WhatsApp etc shouldn't be installed. It all adds up.
6 hours SOT with a 5002 mAh battery isn't good, 9 hrs is fair to poor. That said all Samsung's should be optimized for best performance.
Thanks for your opininon. Are you saying we shouldn't use Whatsapp? Is it real solution?
Unfortunately, because of SD 8 gen 1 limitations (probably worse on Exynos variant), about 6-7 hours SOT is best you're going to get on the S22 ultra.
Try the following guide here & see if it helps your battery life.
I have the Exynos version. My phone has a SOT of about 10 to 12 hours. Rooted and bebloated. I do have the brightness very low though.
Android 13.
OneUI 5.
Latest.
Lightly debloated.
That's interesting. I guess depends on what apps the phone is using during SOT.......
Mind sharing your battery usage breakdown screenshot?

Real as it gets. All social media apps should never be installed. Many should even be logged on to. WhatsApp track record is stunningly bad.
Lots of users means its got a huge bullseye on it even if they try to secure it, it will hacked again like the sun rises in the morning... for sure. Meanwhile phishing scams run under the radar and count on you screwing up. And many do.
You got to ask yourself one question,

No really. The problem is that all the apps developed by Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp) are power hogs. Meta does not care if it chews up battery. The primary reason is that Meta is shoving ads in your face. Even when your screen is off, those apps are running in the background. Meta is not the only offender. There are plenty of other app developers that do the same thing.
Also, there are different "flavors" of Android. Each OEM implements it differently (even within the OEMs). This makes it less cost effective to customize their apps for each OEM. There is only one flavor of iOS and iPadOS, so it is much easier to tweak it for iPhones and iPads than it is for Android devices.
I understand. Thanks. I have another question. You said you turned off google play services. When I turn it off, notifications do not work and many applications do not work. How do you overcome this situation?

It doesn't effect any notifications for me that I use except Gmail. Most my apps run without it. I tend to shun those that do.
Some of the Samsung apps take the place of Google apps, no need to run both.
If killing Google play Services helps at night it's likely Google backup Transport running.
Hello, I have something to ask about. I need to know if there is any ability to store a system application variables usin adb. Imagine that I want to open my settings app and do something mabye a confirmation dialog will be shown in order to say something such as alert for something supposed that I did click on OK, i the normal case this alert will never be shown even if you clear the settings app data or clear the cash, is there any way to use adb to store the settings app data before opening it the if anything as the previous senario happened I can restore the settings app to the moment before clicking on the OK button or even before this alert has shown

Many apps that "need" Google play Services are Playstore pay apps. This can be circumvented by first allowing the app to activate, then firewall blocking their internet connection. Firewall block Playstore as well although it should be disabled except when needed.
If an app doesn't need internet access to function it should be firewall blocked anyway.
