[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sIpInWiT mYdRoId:
I have a little info on this for anyone who'd care to read. I came upon this thread looking around to see how things are coming along with the stupid knox warranty count issue. I was in my t-mobile store today & was on my phone logging into the t-mobile website to see my bill, as i was there to pay my bill & wanted to know how much i owed cause i dont like talking to the reps & didn't feel like asking them, lol. Well their wifi sucked & while logging in i got the irritating pop up with a shield in my notification bar stating something is trying to access my phones info. While bit#$ing out loud about it the rep asked me if she could help me, another lol cause they cant ever really help. so i told her i hate this phone, & told her if you had it you'd understand. So out of nowhere a guy walks into the store & she said well that's perfect timing, if you need any assistance with it this is our technician & im sure he'd be able to help, according to her he only comes in a couple times a wk while going to other stores. He seemed to be a decently smart man from things he talked to me about before getting into my issue, so he asked what problems i was having & i proceeded to tell him. Keyboard locking up while using certain sites, among alot of other things. At the moment i had completely forgot about saying something about that silver shield in the notification bar that says whatever about an app trying to access my phones info. So after i finished telling him all them other problems he then said well we do have an update coming to our phones soon, then pulled 2 note 3's out of his pocket & showed me he uses the phone. He then started telling me about the update & with me forgetting to tell him altogether about the shield in the notification area, he told me the update was alot to do with knox thinking there is a threat to your phone when logging into wifi & thinking someone is trying to hack your wifi & a few other things that trips the app into thinking something is trying to access your phones info. I told the guy holy crap dude, that's the thing i was just complaining about that got the rep to tell me you're the technician & to talk to you about the problems i was having. i figured i'd trust the guy cause he named the exact problem i was having without me even saying a thing to him about it. So to make a long story a little shorter, according to this guy who was the 1st person i have ever delt with at t-mobile i felt i could trust, this update he says we are getting is mainly dealing with that issue & a few other things. I don't know how many in here have been getting this problem cause if you are rooted most of the knox stuff is removed anyway & you wouldn't be getting this pop up alot of us that arent rooted get almost every single day. I just hope this update also fixes alot of other things cause in my opinion there are many. Sorry for the huge post just thought the story of how i came upon this info went with how i found out there was a update that actually is coming to our phones. I never actually activated the knox app on my phone cause i hate everything to do with it do to the part that ruins our warranty after flashing things, but his phone had the knox app activated & he showed me how everything about it worked & showed me how after you enter a passcode in the knox app how it basically makes your single phone into 2 phones each having their own separate everything, from home screens to call logs & i have to say if i didnt hate it so much cause of the part that screwes with our warranty id probably actually use the knox crap, lol. Huge post though, flame on,lol.
