Are updates available for Samsung Active S5

Recently I got a used Samsung Galaxy S5 Active AT&T phone. Can I disable AT&T bloat, TouchWiz?

I used recommendation to touch always for TW, After that, it said to clear defaults, but clearing defaults doesn't work. It continues to pop up??? Is something else going on with phone?

Any updates available for firmware or software?

I was able to 'disable' TouchWiz and most of the AT&T bloat. They are not removed, just disabled. I had to choose 'always' on the TouchWiz pop up prompt. Thanks

First of all, let’s try updating your phone.

Update the Software on a Samsung Galaxy S5 Active


Second of all, sadly you cannot disable those two features you mentioned without rooting your phone. Rooting is exceptionally risky as I have bricked at least 3 phones trying to root them (luckily they were phones given to me as hand-me-downs) and I would not advise trying to do this.
