I have been getting a message on my Galaxy Note 4 lock screen that "MY INTEREST" is going away on November 17th, 2015.
[Notice] Important Update for the My interests service for Lock screen
Dear customer, We would like to inform you that the My Interest service for lock screen will no longer be available as of November 17, 2015.

Our Samsung customer service team will assist you with any question or concerns. Closing date November 17, 2015

Update - I found a program that works better - Muzei Live Wallpapers. If you install extensions available on Google Play Store and it offers for variety than Samsungs wallpapers. Here is a link explaining Muzei. http://www.androidcentral.com/best-muzei-live-wallpaper-extensions

Never heard of it,but,sounds like a legit,possibly little used service from Samsung,hence the discontinued notice.

As for emailing the Samsung mobile bit,I wouldn't bother.
They've already closed shop on this,just waiting for the final day.
For all anyone knows,that email addy is BS,not knowing exactly where it came from,or,how it got on your lockscreen if you're not using the service.

The email address is also on this webpage, so it may be legit. http://www.businesswire.com/news/ho...ung-Oculus-Introduce-Consumer-Version-Gear-VR

I got an e-mail about this and brushed it aside thinking it wasn't anything I used. Then I saw it on my lock screen. I get bored of wallpapers all the time and hate searching for something I want. This thing was so simple yet so convenient and welcomed. I didn't need to search and decide on a particular wallpaper. Everything looked slick and crisp. Why can't they just keep this going? Anyone know of an exact replacement for this?
