I searched a lot, but did not find a solution to the following known problem:
Since about a year you wouldn't be able to update almost all Samsung core apps (mail, contacts, messages, gallery, clock, touchwiz, ...) directly with the proper apk file (from for example apkmirror).
On S8(+) you were able to bypass this protection by changing the secure startup (either way) and reboot the device. until the next reboot all update-installations would have been successful.
On Note8 this trick does not work anymore.
Only chance is directly after an (official, OTA or Odin) update. Then, it is also possible to update all Samsung programs until next reboot, after which the security mechanism takes place again!
Has anyone so far figured out how to bypass this protection, as it is really annoying?
Thx in advance!

Bump!
Samsung already closed the flaw that directly after an update the manual apk update was possible.
On Tab S3 this is still working (experienced myself a few days ago), but not on Note8...
Does anyone has a solution for this problem?

Bumper help for him^ Someone who knows more maybe shed light on this. Couldn't he apk version the 1s he wants and then bk disable onto updater?
Lol. You two make it sound like it's a case of life and death that you can't update those apps. Or like they are not working properly and now you can't use your phone because you can't update them. Just lol...

You two? I gave him an extra bump. Doesn't affect me at all. Trying to help him out is all. I honestly don't know why OP wants to do this anyhow. But guess he just wants newer version faster. Hey all us thirsty for that Oreo lol.

Hello Everyone
I was hoping someone could help me. I saw a facebook feature on my mothers phone that I'd like on my own.
After a LOT of googling and searching around i've found out that the name of the feature i'm looking for is "Ongoing Notifications".
If i'm not mistaking, this is something that was released in a version of Facebook that was only available on the market for a short amount of time before they suddenly removed it again. Ironically, my mother (that pretty much NEVER update her apps) managed to get that update within the short timespan it was out. I live nowhere near her, and therefor i'm not able to backup the app from her phone and just install that on my own.
I THINK it was either version 3.6.1 or 5.6.1 (pretty sure it was the latter), but searching around I find no evidence of 5.6.1 being a valid version number.
Does anyone have the version of facebook i'm looking for installed on their phone, and would be so kind as to back it up and upload it somewhere? I would be eternally grateful, cuz this is annoying the crap out of me :cyclops:
//Espen
Edit: In case people don't necessarily realize what the feature actually does, i'd like to update this a little.
"Ongoing Notifications" adds a facebook bar in the phones notification center (dropdown menu), and an icon in the top left corner. It displays the same as your standard browser notification bar does, when logged in.
It's version 3.6.1
Let me upload it.

I have this version number and have never seen this option. How do you turn it on in the app?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4
Check out these 2 screen shots. Some days I have one version and the other days the next. Does anyone have any idea why it changes?
Thanks.
The second one looks like its for Gear S.
But why does it change on it's own?

Every couple of days it changes. It did it again over the weekend. Very Strange.
I've noticed the same oddity of the very useful transfer buttons coming up only initially, then quickly going away. Even when they were there, the transfer to gear failed.
I really am looking towards android wear now, Samsung isn't keeping up with a unified experience using only Samsung devices...

I've had to revert back to Android after not getting notifications on my Gear. I'm looking into getting the Gear S if this keeps up and hope whatever app market Samsung uses has the Gmail app.

There is no apk. Sometimes is much harder than just install it.

there has to be an apk and of course you at times cant just install it.. this is xda.. ppl should know how to manually push files and/or port it to work.
then again some ppl dont even know how to pull the apk and post it.. surely you can already find it elsewhere.. this thread should be closed imo lol id post it but i dont have those devices

note 5 camera apk
did anyone manage to extract note 5 camera apk and port to s6 successfully? In the recent update I was expecting Samsung to introduce shutter control feature to S6 like in note 5, but Samsung being Samsang has skipped this....now I'm not even sure if we ever get to see this feature in S6.

apk 928f
any updates? I want the shutter control so much!
Eh? The S6 edge + has the exact same camera doesn't it? Why do you want the Note 5's if we already have shutter control?
im using galaxy s6.. sadly it doesnt have the shutter control even they have the same sensor
Don't know why Samsung wouldn't implement note 5 camera's manual features on S6 considering S6 is more popular, hate Samsung for this.
Now waiting eagerly for XDA to port this unless it's some restriction in place by Samsung on camera module.

Does anyone have car mode on their note?
I cant find it on mine. Checked in the status bar options and also all through the settings with no luck.
I heard that aome carrier versions do not have it. Im wondering if im in that boat (i purchased mine on a plan through Telstra). Mine seems to be a standard version though as there is no physical carrier branding on the phone, only incthe software when it boots up.
Im really surprised and disappointed that with todays techniology, i have a phone that cant assist me with the likes of reading back emails, sms, etc and all thst handsfree stuff while driving.
Please tell me theres a way i can add this function. If need bw im happy to install a different firmware that had this included.

I think it is a carrier thing, not sure though. You can Google Samsung Car Mode and there is an XDA member who uploaded one that works on the SM-N920I version.
Legendary! Found, installed, abd now one safe happy driver. Thank you!
Im going to have a look and see if i can install the stock standard OS without the carrier restrictions and apps. Seems silly to remove such a useful tool. Hate to know what else im missing

You can get it from galaxy apps.

i have it, experiencing a lot if little issues, also needs to be more customizable....
Originally it wouldn't show up in the galaxy app store. A week ago it did. Downloaded it and have some issues with it so I have removed it for now. After using it Google voice won't hear me and also have issues with using a Bluetooth headset with it.
