I have a Samsung Galaxy SII and cannot get this to quit! It's not showing up in my downloads, when I try long clicking on it in my active applications it just brings me to my home page and I disabled FB (which is not showing anywhere on my phone but I'm unable to enable in Play Store). PLEASE HELP!

I'm getting it as well, along with a bunch of people who also posted this problem today on Android Central. To fix it, long press on the notification until "app info" pops up. Go into app info, force stop it, and then clear data.
Alternatively, find the app called "downloads" in your app drawer, open it, press the "other downloads" button on the right. You should see the Facebook download with an in progress status. Tick the box next to it and then press the little trashcan icon to delete it.
Problem solved.
Edit: Probably best to do both methods, as it came back on me once after just deleting it from downloads app.
Thank you!! I couldn't figure out what it was either! I have Galaxy S3 with CM10.1 on it. How did this problem hit so many devices and so many ROMs at the same time!?
If this doesn't relate to our phone (the i777) it doesn't belong here. As in an app that has nothing to do with our phone. App problems can be discussed in the apps and games section, via pm, or in the MAIN general thread not related to a specific phone model.

Its a strange problem that affects multiple devices, and many had no idea of knowing if it affected one particular device/ROM or not. Relax.
I got it twice today on my Note 2 running a Touchwiz ROM, so it doesn't seem device dependant. FB Playstore error I would assume.

Oh. My. God. You seriously can't read can you?

I just read online WHY this is happening: Its because Facebook has pushed an update that will allow future updates to happen OUTSIDE of the Play Store (aka silent updates).
I haven't been able to get the direct update to work so far, but The Verge confirms that it is from FB, so it is safe.

This probably could be asked in the galaxy tab 10.1 section but it happened with my Captivate also and I feel like I can get a better answer here.
So for the longest time I kept my Tab stock and the play store works fine with no issues. I then decided to flash a rom (AOKP build 28) and now I recently noticed that when I go into the play store and check at which apps are compatible with my tablet, it shows my tab twice in the list, like so:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(Note the tab is the GT-P7510)
For the record, this doesn't bug me. I would just like to know if anybody know why this is happening and how I can remove it so that it only shows the devices once? As you can see it is showing up for my old Samsung Captivate as well (SGH-i897).

It was happening on my tablet too, when I flashed a new ROM, don't know why...
To remove the unneeded ones click on the little gear in the top right and select (something)&Devices and there just click on the Devices tab.

Awesome that worked perfectly. Thanks a lot. It is also nice to give it a proper name also rather than just seeing the model number there.
I am guessing that the market sees the roms as a new device so it just adds it to the list of devices which you own...unless someone has a better explanation for it.
At a guess I would say that flashing a custom rom must change some piece of data that the market uses to identify your device, thus making it think that it's a different device after you flash it.
I tried to recreate this bug, but couldnt. So I don't think it's flashing different roms that was causing it.
Here's my devices list.
Everything except for the HTC Wildfire is my tablet.
(Some ROMs use a Galaxy Tab 7 build.prop, some use Galaxy S II )
Hello all,
I've spent over an hour fiddling with my phone + searching the forums and google to no avail.
Issue: I'm forced to save contacts to google acct. which is NOT what I want.
Objective: I'd like to save them directly to SIM card only.
ROM: JellyBeer 3.57.3
Options: Accounts Sync is off (nothing is syncing)
Thanks in advance.
Bump!
when you add a contact, it ask you very clearly if you want to save the contact to your google account or not. This is basic android operating....I will not post another reply or even open this thread .............I'm going to to take an asprin......opening a thread around here is like playing russian roulette these days
btw, the time between you opening this thread and you bumping your own thread (double posting...just rude) could have been used to actually read what was showing up on your phone screen and/or using google to figure out the answer. I wish I had the time to post questions and and wait for other people to give me the answers to my problems. Must be nice
Re: [Q] Being forced to save contacts to google account?!
Maybe you're not searching correctly? I know how to do it. It's simple.

Aren't we feeling a bit almighty when we THINK we know or understand things better than others?
And it DOES NOT ask me to store my contacts under SIM or Phone, it only shows my email. I'm not blind.

In that same square to the right of your email address is a small triangle(arrow). Select it and it will bring up a menu allowing you to select "Google", "Sim", and "Phone." Unless the JellyBeer ROM does not have that option.

Unfortunately, that's not working. It seems that it is disabled or unavailable.
I found an app that provides a temporary workaround.
Thanks.

I'm getting this as well and it is VERY ANNOYING (are you listening, Samsung?)
I can't figure out how to remove, stop, or freeze this garbage. Perhaps someone has some knowledge to share on how to get rid of this?
Glad I'm not the only one having this announce.

You have to manually go to each samsung app and check for updates. Sometimes it's S Health, Samsung hub, etc.
I had that problem when I updated to 4.3. I debloated too many apks. I can't remember if this is the right one for sure, but the only Samsung apk I still have on my sdcard is called SamsungApps_J_Only.apk. You might need to put that one back. I can't guarantee that's the correct one either, but once I replaced something, I was able to update my Samsung apps. It's been a couple months since I went back to 4.2.2.

Hmm. I went into every Samsung related app and none of them had any type of update.
Look in your app draw for one called "Samsung Apps", that's where you have to go and you'll have at least one app in it under purchased, that will be where to update at. If it's not in your app draw, search around here and Google for the "Samsung App .apk". Not sure where I ended up finding it.

This is how I fixed it.
In my drawer I did not had "Samsung Apps" maybe at some point I uninstalled it, can't remember. Went to http://content.samsung.com/mobile/us/contents/aboutn/appsMobileIntro.do and installed it. When opened und menu there was 3 updates ready to be updated. Hope it helps someone.

So just tonight I keep having a screen appear on it's own called enhanced features. I keep hitting decline, but it keeps coming up while in the middle of doing other things. Anybody else have this issue, or how to make it stop?

can't really help you with this because I never see or hear about this features but would be helpful if you could provide your phone model and your cellphone provider.
T-mobile S6 Edge. This thing keeps opening even though I keep hitting decline! It is getting annoying!
Tmoblie variant here. I don't see this in settings or popup. Maybe it's an app you downloaded?
yeah, i'm using U.S. T Mobile SG6E right now too but never come cross of this popup.
I'm having the same problem as of an hour ago...5:30pm Eastern US time. Galaxy s6 32 gb on T-Mobile...nothing new downloaded.
Me too, just started about 11:30pm PST. Realllllly annoying.
Super annoying. Glad I am not the only one. I tried removing my Samsung account and that didn't help. If anyone figures out how to stop this please respond!
Happening here too. T-Mobile S6 Edge
use titanium to disable it then.
This is affecting non-rooted stock devices.
There isn't a clear thing to disable, anyway.
Edit: Mines gone away on its own
Edit 2: Nope. Still here.
Yeah, I'm not rooted so can't use titanium...
Not to mention, I don't know what is causing it to pop up...I wouldn't know what to disable.
Not rooted here and haven't seen it, I'm on international variant unbranded

Non-rooted t-mobile variant here. It just started for me last night and It is aggravating as hell.
I've declined it every time and I can't figure out how to permanently stop the madness.
Is there any one who has successfully disabled this after it started?
Still happening here...horribly annoying. Someone help!
Have you guys just tried to hit accept? Instead of decline.
And what happens when you hit the back arrow on the top left? Does it just take you back to the settings homepage?
I don't want to accept. Yeah, I've tried that back arrow and nothing happens expect it exits the screen.
Here is the link that goes to terms and conditions:

I am on an international version purchased in Hong Kong. Do not have the same pop up but do have other which are very annoying as well.

I own a Verizon Galaxy s9+ and A galaxy tab s3. For the past few months I've noticed strange things going on with my phone and for at least 6 months on my tablet. Even factory resets don't solve this. I feel like I've googled everything to no avail. I started to think I was just crazy, until the other day I went to add a new account to my phone, an email account, and noticed something strange under accounts. I don't see any abnormal accounts under "accounts" in settings, but when I click "add account" there is a strange icon with no title next to it, like its hidden, and it has the green circle next to it like its been added, but I can't click or see what it is. Please help! I used to be super nosey on my bfs phone and now wondering if he's had something on mine for a while as well?? Thank you!!

Hi , I'm not sure but I think maybe some spy app is installed on your phone : / . Check if your phone has Official firmware .
To do that , follow this video instruction :

A factory reset will not help with many spying apps. Best you can do is send the device back unless have an unlocked bootloader. Then you can format all partitions and add apps back one by one.
To be honest. If something is like this is needed. Then move on. The relationship was already dead.
