Blu Android Updates

I bought my Blu phone at Target specifically because it had dual SIM card capability so I could put my work line and home line on the same device. Although there were features that I liked, it was my first smartphone, there were problems almost from the start. The problems, see above, got worse over time, until the phone became unusable. Audacious to go through that government trouble, and still, after all the legal battles, still, incorporate malware at manufacture! Target stopped carrying Blu phones. Surprised Blu has not gone out of business yet.

Xperia - Samsung Galaxy watch notification problem

Hi,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch paired to my Xperia L3 smartphone.

On my Xperia, I have two user profiles. Whenever I switch from my main profile to my secondary profile and then back to main, I get a notification "Can't show notifications on the smartwatch - please allow Galaxy Wearable access to the notifications". The problem is, Galaxy Wearable was already allowed access to the notifications.

Furthermore, I installed Galaxy Wearable to my secondary profile too and gave it access to the notifications too in hopes that this would go away. However, it didn't.

The notification is very annoying because it can't be swiped away, the only way to get rid of it is to restart my phone.

I am also never getting this notification on my secondary profile, just the main one.

How can I prevent this from happening?

Odd appearances

Regarding 'com.lat.activities.Main...' that's in that screen capture you posted, use any file manager app and look at your internal storage /Android/data folder. That's the general user location for most apps to store different config, settings, and other misc. data. That's the typical naming convention -- i.e. com.google.android.youtube, or com.sand.airdroid, or com.whatever. So while that may be tied to some unwanted malware the odds are there's an app you've installed or was previously installed with some kind of name with 'lat' in it or a name relative to the developer of the app.

Svim, I followed the steps- opened My Files/Internal storage/Android/data. There were 1106 folders but none beginning with "com.lat." I did a search for "lat" but the only result was "platform".

Curiouser and curiouser.

Firmware-Over-The-Air updates for closed networks

Perhaps a more practical solution to look into is implementing a MDM solution (Mobile Device Management):
https://www.zdnet.com/article/mdm-for-android-devices-what-your-business-needs-to-know/
That way your company can just use an existing cellular service while still maintaining highly-curated control over the staff's phones.
Hi, thanks for pointing me in this direction.
The requirement is specifically for a network which is not connected to any outside network. But i will read about MDM. Thanks again
