It'll take some work, gotta make sure all my stuff is backed up properly. Several thousand pics... ugh. Guess I should delete crud after a while. Never seem to have time. Thanks for the advice.

BTW, thank you. I appreciate the input. :)

Factory reset... yeah thought of that. Such a hassle to reload everything though. If I restore from backup I will likely restore the problem too. Is it possible to disable the apps individually? I find that some settings I change go back to default every time I restart. This evening my battery...

In addition to the standard ones they load with the phone, I counted about 42

Well, no joy on trying to figure this thing out. I was really hoping to find a way to figure out whats causing it. One annoying thing is when I go in there and disable something, it turns itself back on again right away...

Yeah, pretty much sure it's not there in safe mode. Ran it 3 times while doing texting and such. No sign of it. Terminated safe mode, waited a short while and it was back. This has been going on for many months now. Gonna have to try to figure out and remember what the last app was I installed....

So I turned off Developer Settings, closed everything, restarted the phone. Problem still perists. I timed it, it's not about 30 seconds as I originally guessed, it's a little less than 2 minutes, but still there. Restarted in safe mode, havent seen it happen again yet. Been about 10 minutes...

Hi guys, Thanks for your replies. Mustang, it turns out I am already a member. I joined some time ago, posted something and then didn't come back regularly. After a bunch of trial and error, heavy on the error I figured out my login credentials and here I am. And I appreciate the welcome...

Trying to figure out what and why I get a very quick flash on the screen of my S7 Edge. I will be doing something, texting, reading news, whatever and my screen very quickly turns white with a green bar across the top, then reverts back to what I'm doing. It happens so fast that the only thing...

After posting this I checked the same on my Tab3. What I described above is not available on my tablet yet. I updated the S7 phone, but the update is not available for my Tab yet. So safe to assume that this is something they have only added with the latest software update, which for me came...

Newbie to the forum here: I wanted to share info about a Samsung annoyance. I am using an S7 Edge, but put this in General because this applies to a wide range of devices: For months I have been plagued with that horrible Samsung Invasion (as I call it) Every day, relentlessly, the invasive...
