On this samsung phone, I have problems where it's located in the Verizon areas of Device secure. This is where they scans the apps and your Wi-Fi for dirt. Well, I check the setting as you know it shameful turn itself on and off. When you look at it, go back on turn when you close it ,it goes off so the scan won't detect anything. I'm sure with it, keep changing there is something there keep you from getting a true scan of the trouble apps where you can remove them and forget

This push service app is only for Samsung ads. When it's uninstalled it only disables it (it switches the installation option to "update"...don't update...ever) but it stops the incessant ads. I turned off auto-update because every time it updated it would start sending ads again. So I update manually. "Anji" left a comment, too. I had done the same thing she suggested months ago but it didn't work for me. Got another ad just today.

Intrusive and unwanted. I was able to delete it from an older phone but for some reason that option is missing on a newer device. DEV mode is initiated on both devices. Samsung should allow the user to decide what they want on the user's property. That user then can suffer the consequence or in this specific case, the boon of removing unwanted slag.
