Interesting. Your advanced screen is slightly different than mine. I do not have that option, and a search in the settings menu shows it is not there anywhere. I do have "Wi-Fi notifications", which sounds like it might do the same thing, but is already turned off. What version OS are you...

I dont mean to sound rude, but whats the point you're trying to make there? I know about that screen as I reference the setting in there for "Turn WiFi On Automatically" being turned off. So - what am I supposed to be looking for or changing? And why? thank you tho!

Looks like these two people had the same issue but did not find an answer: https://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s9-s9-plus/926454-disable-auto-connecting-wifi.html#post6409601...

I've had the S9+ since shortly after it came out but I dont think it was doing this until more recently, like the last month or two. Basically, I want to prevent the phone from trying to log into public WiFi networks. Everywhere I go, whenever I turn my phone on to use an app, as soon as I...

Hi, First - note that I am not talking about background data. I am talking about restricting individual apps from using data at all while I am actively trying to use the app. I've been stuck on iOS for a while and am just coming back to android (used to use it years ago). On iOS under the...

OK - Its been a couple days now and I am starting to feel enough time has passed to declare victory in this battle for control of my device. Since uninstalling Go Keyboard, there have been zero wake up ads taking over my screen. Only one notification bar ad was seen early yesterday and thanks...

I have "ES File Explorer" installed, and in the past after installing a new app it has come up telling me about files size of new apps and if I want to move them to the SD card. That was just a standard notification, I knew what it was and wasn't bothered by it. This was different in that it...

So - I waited all day and into the evening in Safe Mode and there were no notifications from this app or wake up screen ads. I think I would have had something by then but because its semi random I dont know. I gave up and went back to normal mode as I needed to use my device. Shortly after...

I could not get the safe mode dialog to pop up using the Verizon method. Nothing happened. After pressing the power button to get the power down option. Pressing and holding the power off option. I did find this alternate method which worked for getting me into safe mode...

Thanks everyone for the great tips. I'm not fully certain how best to take advantage of all of it though. The pop up appears semi random. I get two kinds of "alerts". The standard notifications in the notification bar telling me about some great app I am missing out on. Slightly annoyed but...

Interesting - I wasnt aware of that path to that. In any case - no, that app is not shown in that list of apps. Its filtered out. Its either only showing apps I can change that setting, or Samsung is blocking it from showing up there.

Sometime in the past month or two the tablet must have self installed some extra bloatware. One in particular is incredibly annoying. Its called "Recommended Apps". When I wake up my device it often has taken over the whole screen with a giant ad for crappy games I would never install. It also...

I have heard so much about the magnet in the cases causing interference with the digitizer. It seems most people it works fine, but many do find issues with it. I do not need the magnetic case. I don't need to auto wake my tablet. So - is anyone aware of some good non magnetic cases available...

I was told in an email that both the Google Play and Samsung credits expire after 60 days. Well, they very clearly said the Samsung credit expired after 60 and implied the Google Play did too. they said the documentation was incorrect and they were in the process of fixing it. I called...

Thanks! That solved my issue. Took me a minute to figure out what you meant by the All Apps screen - I thought you meant in the settings screen before I figured out you literally meant the Apps index in the upper right of the screen. This issue started for me in early June when I last let...
