Help Annoying Message "Prevention Information"

This message showed up yesterday on my (unrooted) note 3 for the first time. After reading the whole thread I decided to start with the easiest solution first. I deleted all apps that show root compatability. ... The message seems to be gone for now.

I just got my Note 3 today and after installing apps I started getting that pesky message. Like you I removed all apps related to root since my install was from a backup.

Knock on wood...it hasn't returned.

I just got my Note 3 three days ago and I was getting the same message. What I have noticed though is that if I don't ever turn wifi on, I don't get the message. It seems that the battery life is good enough to where I don't HAVE to worry about conserving it by turning wifi on in the first place. I went all of yesterday on strictly mobile data (13 hours on, 7 hours screen on, heavy usage) and didn't get a single message.

Not EVER using your wifi is hardly a workaround for most of us.

I was seeing the message several times per day, then it stopped. I haven't seen it in two full weeks of very heavy use. What I do know is it's a KNOX issue. Why it stopped is puzzling since I do the updates manually, the only apps I update are the ones I use, and I haven't updated the OS or KNOX.

I just had a long call with AT&T and Samsung support. The Samsung support said to go to settings》security》and uncheck Security Policy Updates.

He said that should fix the problem. It didn't.


Restarted the phone and it was back. Well I checked the apps listed when I clicked "View Now" and decided to disable both apps about ANT (services) since I don't use or know much about it and now the notification is gone. Not sure if it's a fix yet but I restarted and it's still gone.

This was on a Samsung Note 3 fyi.


Edit: nevermind. Not working.
