I keep getting this warning, but no way to tell what the offending app is... stock, not rooted

Have you clicked okay. . To have it check for what it is warning you about? Have you downloaded any new apps before getting the warning? I myself would probably take it back to. .. sprint. . BestBuy.. wherever purchased. I've not heard of this on stock unrooted device. I tried googling this but again, everything seems to be directed towards...mods..rooting.
But there are many knowledgeable people on here. . I'm sure someone can help you more than I can.

I have gotten the same warning and have no clue why. Don't have any apps that should be setting it off and I have not yet rooted this phone in hopes of someone figuring out this Knox b.s. Everything on my phone is from the play store.

The Knox referred to here is a hardware/firmware that is on the Note 3, and the 2014 Note tab(Galaxy Tab). It is an efuse, meaning that if you try normal rooting, you permanently blow the fuse, thus rendering your warranty void, and possibly bricking/soft bricking your device. Google!:good:
I have the same annoying pop up stock completely virgin and can't figure out the app either so I factory reset and it keeps popping up, all my apps are from Play Store most Google apps, Facebook And Twitter all trusted apps not a single one sideloaded. So I had to check don't show it for next 30 days to make it go away.
Also anyone having the same but with Samsung Account constantly asking to verify password for security measures? Had to disable all Samsung cloud services and Samsung apps to make it go away. Annoying as hell.

Getting this annoying prevention information since the mj4 update. I should have stayed on mi5. This did not happen on mi5. Hopefully they'll release an update to fix this. I checked do not show for 30 days to get rid of it for now. Stock and unrooted btw.
Just a follow up with this. My friend just got a note 3 that came with the MJ4 update and it showed the same thing. No installed apps other than stock and not even connected to the play store. So it is something that came with MJ4

Per Sprint, on the Sprint forum, a fix is coming. This is an erroneous message. Of course, the party line is don't root, don't this, don't that...
At least there is a fix coming.

Hey all,
There's been quite a few reports of people getting duplicate SMSes in the ViperDNA ROM thread. I think I have, unfortunately, found the cause. The other day, I got a SMS from someone not on my contact list/nor anyone I recognized at all. It was like spam email, but from SMS with a link to some site to boot. I brushed it off and just deleted the message. I was reading Android Police's new article on Android anti-virus apps. I was surprised to see my $15 Kaspersky app doing so poorly, so I uninstalled it and installed the #1 rated TrustGo. I did a scan and it found a "High Risk" threat in HTCMode. I followed the link provided by the app and, sure enough, Google has acknowledged the vulnerablility.
This vulnerability is being kept very close to Google's chest, so you don't find much about it doing a search for it. It certainly isn't getting a whole lot of press, but it's gotten some.
I tried to delete the app via TrustGo, but it failed. So went into Titanium Backup and froze the app and then was able to uninstall it. I've rebooted a couple times since uninstall and there doesn't seem to be any repercussions from getting rid of it. I highly recommend you do the same.
Just a heads-up. Protect your shiny DNA and your personal info/data,

Perhaps HTC has nothing to do with this software and (as if they care) the developers are trademark infringing when they use it in the app. They merely use the HTC name to legitimize their software and make you think it should be on your phone (some Sense software.) I'm sure on the S3 it's called SamsungMode or TouchMode and tries to make it look like it's part of TouchWiz.
If HTC did create this software, then the SMiShers have just found a way to exploit a vulnerability in the software as they did with other brands. As the video and write-up details, this is not HTC-specific; but Android-wide.

All it does is allows apps to send u fake spam texts. I get that type of junk anyways without this apps help.

So reading this seems really shady that they would do this. So I'm not rooted on this phone and I don't want to root because I enjoy this phone how it is. So obviously I can't freeze this so if I disable it, won't this be the same thing as freezing it?

Kinda sorta... cant hurt to do that
I'm on stock/locked 2.04, and just got the 2.06 OTA notification last night. I postponed it, but the latest it would allow was 4/22. How do I stop the OTA from installing at that time?
Apologies if this has been answered before, I did do a forum search but all I could come up with was, "Flash a different ROM!". As such, that's not really an option on the table at this point.
That's interesting I wonder if there's a deadline or that's just the max amount of days you can postpone at a time.

TBH.. that's the first time I've ever seen "Reject" as an option for an OTA. I've only seen install or defer, with the mentioned deadline of when the install is required. Since I'm rooted, I just rename/delete '/etc/security/otacerts.zip' and freeze/delete '/system/app/Updater.apk'. After that, a cache wipe and you won't see the annoying popup anymore.

It is strange that we're presented with different options. Well, I sent my baby off for JTAG today so hopefully it'll be a moot point when she gets back. My only concern would be if it installs itself on 4/22 and somehow jacks up the SOFF abilities. Probably paranoia, but sometimes with OTA it pays to be paranoid. :fingers-crossed:
nah it won't hinder JTAG

I got that option today too and defered until the 24th but just now it started popping up saying that the update would start in 30 seconds. I hit back and it kept coming up. I disabled wifi, mobile data, and sync then restarted the phone and then it popped up again. Only option to close the screen was [ok]. Definitely not liking the fact that this update is forced no matter what.

Hmm, after it finished downloading it went back to the same prompt offering to install or defer. I picked defer so we will see how long it lasts this time.

It has come up multiple times for me as well, each time allowing to defer at least until the 24th.
The update more than likely only tried to fix sim detection issues.
Good thing stock is very reliable on the DNA. If you're an addicted flasher you might want to consider the JTAG service.
What just happened to me, I set defer to 12/31/13 phone said no so I set it to max date and hit Ok, and it started running right then with the 30 second count down. I shut down my phone then re powered it up, on restart the reject option showed up and I hit that.

There is no exploit for 2.04, therefore nobody can say definitively that an exploit for 2.04 would work for 2.06. Seems a lot of people have given up on an exploit ever being found. However the bounty thread reaching close to $1k seems to be generating more interest in the possibility.

So, I hope others add to this thread. I learned something new to me and thought I'd share.
There were several times when I picked up my phone, and it vibrated. For no reason. I thought this was odd. But, there was a reason. I just didn't know it. I have been reading the samsung site's FAQ and was enlightened.
When you pick up your mega and it vibrates, it is telling you there is a missed call, text, voicemail or other notification waiting. It's called Smart Alert. Very convenient if you have notifications limited to 1. Never had a phone do this before. I like it!!:laugh:
I learned my Mugen 6600mah battery is a beast giving me double battery life lol naw I'm playing. Glad to see someone else noticed that vibration thing...but running custom 4.4.2 it doesn't do it anymore.cheerz
*SHAYNEZ*KCCO*
I will throw in one. On the lock screen, I added a widget for the remote. Now, I don't even have to unlock the phone to turn the tv down. I really like the IR feature.
dmn i wasnt sure what those vibrations supose to do ( for me it was more like "haha im not sleepn any more" lol )
IR is pretty sweet. what apks u use to use ur mega as remote controller?
I just use the Samsung stock WatchOn for IR remote. It works well with my dish recievers and televisions. Is there something I should look at that is better?

I like your version of that vibration!! I used to think it was just saying "HI, still here!"
I use the stock watch on too. I found this by accident. Was going thru the unfamiliar apps in the apps drawer, clicked on it and found a very cool thing!!! Works on optonline's cable box! Very cool. I have the Note 8 and never found this one. It's there though! Just had to hunt for it.
Keep um coming guys!!! Thanks for your participation! :highfive:
I just learned over the weekend that my Mega can be used an an IR remote for my Nikon camera. Does all sorts of stuff that the Nikon remote does, and for free ($4 if I want the ad-free version, which I'm considering).
I like that when I am txting someone.... I can tap on the paperclip and choose "record audio".. then it gives me over 3 minutes of yapping and yapping.. so much easier than typing or even using the voice typing.. 3 minutes of my own speech.. in a txt message!!! love it
Ohh i just learn today this, if you update your mega 6.3 I9200 to the new firmware you will get this beautiful security call KNOX :banghead: ahhh i lost my root :thumbdown: so if you get the OTA Update you should think twice before upgrading.

Can someone explain exactly why knox is so bad? Does it keep you from re-rooting?
This is what I know about it so far. It makes a separate "box" of stuff so you can keep your work stuff separate from your personal stuff and your employers have the ability to control this "box" somehow. I know it can't be un-installed. That's about all my knowledge, even after checking it out!

There is no going back to older version rom if you flash a knox enabled rom. You are stuck with it. You can't install custom roms either.

Sorry, but it's no way... new firmware is one way ticket - you can't go back even if you have nandroid backup. New bootloader prevent you from downgrading. Anyway in my opinion it is only matter of time to find a way to root new firmware with KNOX. And when 4.4.2 arrives there will be no other choice than upgrade with all what it contains... and one of this things will be KNOX for sure.
Since no one is jumping in here to explain why knox is so bad, I went back to find out exactly what knox is. Read the following link from samsung's site.
http://www.samsung.com/global/business/mobile/solution/security/samsung-knox/
This explains what it is. I still need to know why it is so bad for devs to get around it. Any one???
What I got so far after reading the above link is it is attached to the bootloader, and the kernel, so if anyone messes with these components, the phones senses it and shuts down the phone. Is this the huge block associated with the att version and knox in general?
I ha e discovered that in my text window, when I hit vol + or - , my text size will increase or decrease. Hmmmmm.

This has nothing to do with knox
The bootloader will block any older roms.
But it's still possbile to flash an older rom through custom recovery
So I have a rather interesting situation. I got my phone through preorder like many others did, and got a 27th stability update right away. I installed it, used the device for a while. Later in the day I went into download mode to see if my phone said anything about being bootloader- locked.
The funny thing is that now, device status shows as custom, and updates fail due to "unauthorized" changes, which were never made
So my question: can that be fixed without wiping device? What do u think triggered that? Booting into DL even if I didn't do anything else?
Thanks for your help in advance!

Genius!! So glad u thought of that, I completely forgot I did that! And no, I didn't root it yet, that's why I was all confueed, if it was rooted it would've made sense
Thanks
Could someone post a link to Scotts CleanROM for Verizon Note II please? The link on his website is pointing to a server which is trying to hand out a virus as the page comes up with a security warning that the website is not safe.
Thanks
Tom

Did you actually try that link?? It takes you to the same page with the virus warning I said earlier.
As soon as you hit that page, it's trying to get you to install a player which is NOT what it should do. It SHOULD let you download the ROM file.
Anyone else have a good link please?
Thanks

Ok, I got it. There's more than one download link on the page and I guess I didn't hit the correct one? Confusing as hell !!
Thanks for helping the blind!! I guess I better get a seeing eye dog that can use a computer!
I didn't mean to make you think I was upset, I'm just under a tremendous amount of pressure and stress right now with my business and getting my phone back on line is really adding to the stress. I paid for FEDEX overnight shipping to the repair facility and FEDEX overnight saturday delivery to return it and I have been sitting here all weekend trying to get it back up.The guy who fixed it installed an app (TWRP) I have never seen or used and never told me what it was or what to do with it and he didn't return my calls or emails over the weekend to let me know if it was safe to use it with a custom ROM. I had to search all weekend to find out exactly what it was and how to use it. I'm sure you know how expensive that type of shipping is and to have paid all that and still not have my pohone up on Monday morning was a waste of money.
Thanks so much for the help here. I will be more carefull looking at links from now on.

Rudy,
Thanks again. I am downloading the ROM now, although it's slow and will take 30+ minutes. I have a question. I see that some of these ROMS have the ability to accept OTA updates?
My phone specs are
Verizon Galaxy Note II
Android 4.1.1
I605VRALJB
BUILD # JRO03C.I605VRALJB
I don't want my phone to take any updates EVER!
Can I prevent that from happening?
Do you know what I need to do to accomplish that?
Does Scott's ROM's block OTA updates?
It seems he has discontinued support for the Note II and I 'm not really that good with this and I don't want to have my phone get updated and get locked out again. I just spent a lot of money to get it back to v4.1.1
Thanks for any help with this and thanks again for helping me with the download issue!

Hey Tom,
Any custom rom usually has OTA's from Verizon blocked, Scott's included. The download speed you are experiencing is normal.
When roms say they have OTA capability, it usually means that they have the ability to send their own updates via OTA.
Hope that helps. Also, this thread isn't in the right location--you'd be posting to Q&A or general for this type of question.
Anyway, let me know if you need anything else. Have a great day
I just wanted to thank everyone for their help! I now have Scott's Note II ROM on my phone and it's working great!
I do have one problem though. Somehow I managed to change the keyboard where I type text messages and now it doesn't show the keyboard, but has a writing board or whatever it's called and I can't figure out how to get the qwerty keyboard back? It's a screen where the keys would normally be but you can use your finger or a stylus I guess to write or draw. Can anyone advise me how I get it back to normal?
Thanks again to all!
Tom

Never mind, I figured it out! Doh!
I also throw out there that gas dies eventually on this rom. If you check the thread, it has happened to a lot of people including my wife's.

Not sure what you mean by running out of gas???
He means....GPS, some had problems on this ROM.

Ok thanks.
I am noticing that the radio seems to be a little weaker. Is that my imagination?
I would go with something newer that is still supported Krowley's smooth rom would be a good place to start.

I also see that what I thought was a defect in the manufacturer's ROM is still occurring in Scott's ROM That's when you have a phone call and you hang up and then it starts playing audio files that you have on your phone. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to stop it?
Thanks

I don't remember that on cleanrom, but it's based on international firmware so there were common issues with a lot of people concerning GPS. Seriously, there's some great roms that are based on Verizon 4.3 and soon you'll see 4.4.2. Why waste your time with a 4.1.2 rom? Like I said smooth rom, Trents rom is excellent, as well as some more feature packed roms that are awesome but may be overwhelming for you at this point. See what's near the top of the list in Android development forum, pick one, and after backing it up try another.
