their is no talk of this update anywhere,

which I find is strange to be honest, I thought it would of been a massive thing today, but teir is nothing

all us people having problems and their no help, nobody seems to know what the update is for or what it is, Samsung isn't replying to anybody

Security policy update just started to show on mine aswell :/ totally stock simfree updated using Kies other week.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rexx Calibur:
OK...my theory...I think Samsung are gearing up to push a system update to the S4. But they accidentally pushed a security update out for it before they pushed the system update itself, meaning the security update isn't actually compatible with the current ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skillerii:
I got the same problem on my unbranded S4 from phones4u. And Im on O2
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babblerx:
same problem here too

I started getting this error message yesterday.

Running unbranded stock 4.2.2 on EE.

Curious to know what might be causing this.

Have to admit, as much as I like my Samsung phones, I'm not impressed with the company's lack of ability to communicate with the masses except for major hardware releases or when pushed by the larger sections of the media.

Why do our gripes always have to get as far as the media before Samsung will respond?

Lack of Information From Samsung

I think this is a joke! Looking at other forums, Vodafone users have been reporting this issue since 12th September. I'm on unbranded Virgin Mobile UK and got this notification only this morning.

Why isn't Samsung even acknowledging this issue is amazing!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Brainz:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjtscott:
Nothing back at all from SamsungUK or SamsungMobileUK on twitter.

Still getting prompted to apply the security update at least every hour - still failing with network issue.

Noticed the knox stuff is installed on my S4- can only assume it came with the recent SW Update and the update which is currently not able to be installed is related to this wanting to update itself.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ixon2001:
Wasn't gonna bother with the Nexus 5, but with all this lock down Samsung are currently doing to all their phones and tablets to it seems, then I think I'm gonna put my S4 up for sale while it still worth something.

Even though i kept my S4 completely stock this time around, I like to know i have that freedom should i get bored to flash a custom firmware, kernal ect then should a problem arise flash it back without having to worry about warranty issues, like i have done in the past on past Galaxy S smartphones.

They seem to heading same way as Apple unfortunately which is not good, Knox is only the start of it in the future you won't be able to do anything without voiding your warranty.

End of the day Samsung isn't bothered about those that like to customize their smartphones, we probably only make up 1% of sales if that.

This lockdown they are now doing on all devices, not just the S4 will make Samsung XDA forums a very quiet place.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E-Nigma:
Yeah but at least Apple actually have a half decent customer service procedure in place. Samsung are woeful at best irrespective of what type of product of theirs you own. After owning nothing but Samsung phones, TV's etc over the past 3 years, I've always said they make beautiful hardware but when it comes to software and customer service, they're definitely out of their depth and always have been! :rolleyes:

Impact on battery life anyone?

I posted yesterday that I was getting the security message that is the topic of this thread.

Just wondered though, is anyone with this issue suffering decreased battery life? Previously, I could get through an entire day at work with moderate use of my phone and still have between 40 and 50% charge. However, the last couple of days with the same usage has left me with between 15 and 20% battery.

This hit on the battery only seems to have happened since this security issue reared it's inconvenient and annoying head!

I wish Samsung would get their ass into gear and sort this!

Security Policy Update Issues

I bought my Samsung Galaxy S4 just 4 days ago and as soon as I switch it on it updates and then I get the stupidly annoying security policy update issues you are all getting.

I'm just wondering if this issue could be hindering my attempts to validate my Sky Sports Mobile TV subscription which I have through Vodafone. Every time I try to validate the subscription I get a warning to turn off my wifi and only use a 3G/4G connection (the wifi is turned off) and then not long after I get the security policy update notification.

Any ideas if these 2 problems are connected?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rexx Calibur:
Re battery life problems... Don't know how well known this problem/fix is but here goes...

There is an issue with the most recent version of Gmaps and Android handsets running 4.2.2 or later. The maps app is constantly checking for location via WiFi even if Gmaps is forcibly closed. Means that the handsets battery runs down crazy fast. I am so far aware that the problem has happened on S3's, S4's and HTC One's, probably other handsets as well.

Best way to see if its affecting you is to go in to battery stats and check how much battery Google Services is using. It SHOULD be using less than 3% but on affected handsets its likely to be using more than the screen. 2 days ago when I discovered the issue it was using 36% on my S4 and a massive 87% on my GFs.

The fix...one or both of these should work.

1. Disable "WiFi & mobile network location" through "Location services" in system settings.

2. Uninstall the most recent version of Gmaps.

I've done just the first one on my S4 and this seems to have worked. Did both on my GFs to make doubly sure the issue is gone.

There has been noticeable improvement in my battery life. Through normal use my battery hasn't got through a full shift at work recently. Yesterday I still had 25% when I got home.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ixon2001:
Not sure but I think Samsung might has sorted the problem, as I'm now not getting any notification at all now for security policy update.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ixon2001:

Appears to have goe from my phone too

Noticed it was still there this morning. Cancelled it and haven't seen it since.

Additionally, my battery life seems marginally better than before...10 hour day at work regularly checking email, a little browsing, a fair few texts and a couple of calls....and still at 62% when I left work.

Fingers crossed the inconvenience of the security update is more than compensated for by improved performance.

These Security Policy messages are getting rediculous - its been nearly a month now.

As far as I can tell anyone in the UK with an S4 is stuck with security checks preventing some apps from running - despite those apps coming from the PlayStore.

Having the issue on Sprint GS4 SPH-L720 also.

"Your phone's security has block an action that is not permitted. No further action is required."

I found this on a different site. Apparently it has the meat n cookies of the problem. They didnt send out their securty update and they sent out a future update without doing so first and effed everything up for everyone. :)

3. Rooting your device will trigger Knox and potentially void your warranty

Rooting Android 4.4.2 on the GS4 and GN3 will trigger Samsung’s Knox security to warn you that your phone is unsecured. As a result of this, Samsung may no longer honour the phone’s warranty, and its bootloader has been altered.

This was detailed when the Galaxy Note 3 was released last October but it seems like the eFuse trigger is now present on the Galaxy S4 as well. Keep this in mind when rooting your device, as it could cost you the option of getting a replacement phone if something goes wrong.

4. Don’t expect much else to change

Samsung has always kept its TouchWIZ UI fairly consistent through the updates of its various flagships. Aside from the addition of white text in the notification bar (which is a prerequisite for all OEMs upgrading to KitKat, not just Samsung), the Android 4.4.2 update looks remarkably similar to that of Android 4.3.

Of course, KitKat itself adds a number of performance improvements, along with transparency and Immersive Mode, but those are less prevalent on devices that have capacitive buttons like the Galaxy S4 and Note 3.

When I use the MTP mode with USB debugging, the list of devices attached in adb (Command:adb devices) has nothing on it.

However, the PTP mode with USB debugging works with ADB. The system will show the dialog with the RSA-key of my computer and ask me to "Enable USB Debugging" when I change the connection type from MTP to PTP.

Is there any solution that using ADB with MTP mode? Thanks a lot.:laugh:

That thread is actually the reversed problem. MTP only works with USB debugging turned on.

I think OP is saying USB debugging is only working with MTP turned on.

My guess is old driver issue. Use Device Manager to remove device *and* remove drivers, then reboot, then install latest Google USB drivers.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Coronado is dead:
I believe he has the same issue I have MTP + USB debugging does not allow adb to work. However, keeping USB debugging on and switching to PTP (the camera mode) does allow adb to see the nexus 7 and pop-up the authorization prompt. I've uninstalled the drivers many times trying to get adb working when using MTP and USB debugging, but it never, ever takes. Must be something in the system config, not the driver.

I just got a great 4.3 ROM, however, it also includes the Voodoo Colors, which I am not very used to. I have been quite comfortable with the original stock JB 4.1 colors that I have been using for a while, and the voodoo colors are:

1. too blue

2. the fonts seems thicker

I tried adjusting the sliders for Screen RGB Multipliers, it sorts of solves #1, but the colors are still different compared to stock kernel.

And I do not know how to revert to stock for #2.

Is it actually possible to go back to the Stock JB colors or I need another kernel?

Which is the correct one.

Hi. Thanks for the info.

Im a bit concerned, as your pin-out seems to be the reverse of this one here:

Soldering:

Start with the audio cable:

Solder left channel wire to pin 2

Solder right channel wire to pin 3

Do NOT solder the ground wire yet

Now with the usb cable:

Solder red wire wire to pin 1

Do NOT solder the ground (black wire) yet

With the resistor:

Solder 1 resistor leg to pin 4

Solder the other resistor leg + audio ground (yellow wire) + usb ground (black wire) to pin 5

Can you advise which one is correct and what size Resistor to use for my Glaxay S4 i9505.
