S7 Edge problems and "Advanced Messaging"

So I'm on my 3rd edge from AT&T. My first one lasted until a week ago when the screen went basically dead on me and decided it was time to be a strobe light (Monday 8/22). Next day I go to the only "warranty swap" store in my region, and they give me my 2nd edge. Immediately it prompts for the update so the lady at the store hooks me up to their WiFi to do the update. The phone goes through the update, reboots and installs. YEAH I have a phone! I leave the store, get into my car and connect it to Bluetooth. It reboots. I drove to a convenience store 5 minutes away and it reboots once more while in route, and twice more in the parking lot of the store. After purchasing my beverage, I go back to the AT&T store and tell them what was happening. As I am pulling it out of my purse it reboots again. She takes it and factory resets it. As I am signing into Gmail, it reboots again 2x. She goes to speak to the manager, and states that the phone is DOA. Last S7 Edge they had in the store, I had to have another one overnighted to my house (fees waived thankfully!!) She gives me my "flash dance strobe" phone back and I go home. Next day new (refurbished) device comes. I set it all up and it is working great, flash dance phone is sent back. Fast forward to this past Tuesday evening, I open up the camera app and I hear this buzzing noise. I zoom in and the camera is dancing all over the place like it cannot focus. I reboot. Same thing. I record a video... yep you can hear the buzzing noise on the video. Needless to say my "flash dance" phone is in PA not back at AT&T yet. Last night I unroot, and go back to stock and re-download the essential apps. (PS still buzzing it's obviously a hardware problem). Now I can't get away from the damn "advanced messaging" prompt. So let me stop my story here by two questions.

1) Can I do another warranty swap prior to them receiving my other one back? (As mentioned above it's in PA, I live in CT) I have the USPS receipt.
2) How the heck do I stop this advanced messaging thing? Last time I accepted it, my MMS were totally borked and I had to sign into my AT&T account to turn it off.
I've attached pics and video to demonstrate. I just zoomed in on a post it and you can see how wobbly it is.
