Complete Action Using - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Hello everyone.
Recently my phone randomly asking the "complete action using". Three apps option were given;
Samsung Health, New Tag Collected and New Tag Collected (Secure folder).
Its drivinvg me crazy. I cant seem to figure out what's triggering the pop up. My initial guess is its because of the recent update as it didnt happen before the update. On a side note, I have uninstalled Samsung Health a while back and installed it back recently. Anyone know why this is happening?
Thanks.
**Edit: I think I figured out whats triggering the popup. Its the fingerprint scanner. Whenever I unlock my phone using the fingerprint scanner, 3/5 times the "complete action using" will pop up.
*Edit: I finally fugured it out. Its the NFC scanning my office pass card. The phone dont know what to do with it. So it suggested the stated 3 Apps.

[Q] boot up force close on samsung account

I'm getting a force close on "Samsung account" (com.osp.app.signin) during boot up. It happens two times in a row every time I reboot. Anyone experience this and/or know how to stop it from happening? I can't remove the account without factory reset which I don't really want to do.
Any ideas?
yeah, I have the exact same issue
I think it has to do with their servers. probably the same reason the other guy can't register.

I have recieved this twice. However I was on my work network and I assumed it weas just being blocked. I have not recieved it as of today though.
Me too.
I have the exact same issue and would rather not have to start from scratch. Any thoughts on how to fix this without doing a factory reset?
As a side note, is the Samsung Account sync supposed to be turned on? In Account Settings, the account is there but it is greyed out and I can't turn it on.
Mine did this today. I think it has something to do with it trying to access the net and check for updates before the system is fully loaded and wifi signal recieved. That's my take on what happened to me this morning.
Yeah mine was doing until I opened the Samsung apps app and it needed an update. So I'm pretty sure that was it cause it stopped crashing on me.
fixed it by updating Samsung apps.
Hello, i've got this too, what's your samsung app version ?
3.10.012 Is the updated version. If you open Samsung apps it should auto update.
Mine also had this issue and when I updated Samsung apps as pointed out above, the problem stopped existing.
I did the Samsung Apps update and it updated itself 3 times. Its strange. I still get force close on bootup.

I still see this too. It is SO annoying.
What if we don't have Samsung Apps, and never have?
My Gtab (have only had it for 2 days) is experiencing the same thing,. A few hours after signing into Samsung apps it started to do the FC trick. I have tried to find a way to update SAmsung apps but it appears to be up to date. It is very annoying and makes me wonder about my choice of tabs as TF is getting 3.2 today and from what I have experienced with Samsung this device may never ever see it. I admit the TW update will be very nice (I have a rom derived from the leaked update installed and it is quite nice)but I am more concerned at this point about the HC updates or more to the point Samsuing's track record concerning not getting updates out to their phones. The Gtab is a wonderful device and if SAmsung will just push out the updates as fast as Asus (or even close to as fast)is doing then it will be the Best tablet out IMO.

Looks like I found a fix for those who don't have Samsung Apps installed in their Galaxy Tab. I have a GT 10.1 Limited IO Edition... and though I'm sure it was installed when I first got it, it's not there anymore. Maybe it has to do with the 3.1 update??
Anyways, here's what I did to fix the issue:
1. Go to Settings, then Accounts & sync
2. Select Add account (on top right-hand corner) and choose Samsung account (fyi: I already had a Samsung account... it was made before the 3.1 update)
3. I created a new Samsung account... and filled out the necessary info (don't know if you can just sign into an existing account... maybe somebody can test this out).
That's about it... I think the issue has to do with the Samsung account made before the 3.1 update. It looks like only one Samsung account should be allowed per device, yet I was able to put a second one. Then, when I tried to add a 3rd one, it says, "Samsung Samsung account already exists in account manager".
Have rebooted 4 times without a force close. Hopefully this helps!

i have the same problem
Greyed out is normal. Says so on their support site FAQ.

My GTab was doing this too. It also would not update Samsung Apps. It kept force closing. I reported a few times, for what good I do not know. However I fixed the issue of not updating last night and thouht I would share. Go into manage applications and choose Samsung Apps. Select the clear data button. Next select the force close button. Now go to your application home screen and choose Samsung Apps. It should then tell you that you have an update and install just fine. BTW, mine asked to update twice. I just went with it. It worked and Samsung Apps came up. I have not rebooted it yet but will update later if that force close issue has resolved itself with the update.
Update: The Samsung App process force close on startup has now gone away too.

About the app's don't know if it's the phone or apps but on facebook trying to leave a comment it will start loading then go right back to the same screen as if I did not press an thing at all. Words with friends try to log in to facebook account same thing awesome with my bank of America app something. My other bank account app I log in but when I chose the account it said session has timed out overtime. The phone is not rooted I disabled the Verizon apps because it lets u choose to. Other then that Idk y anyone have this happen.
I will update this when more stuff happens.

If i understand correctly you have verizon gs3. There is a separate forum for it. This is meant only for intl i9300

Unwanted Vchat App icon appeared on home screen, but not in application manager

I just noticed that an application was added to my home screen called Vchat. I didn't install this app. I checked the application manager and my account in the play store and this app doesn't appear in either. I'm not really sure what this is and what the best way to remove it is. I haven't clicked on it. I also notice random ads popping up after the unlocking the screen, though they are very sporadic.
I'm on a LG G5, the verizon version, running android 7.0.
Girlfriend also has this on her Samsung Galaxy A5, couldn't identify an app in app list which matched. Removed from home screen and hoped it was simply a sketchy weblink. Will follow post to ensure phone is secure or if an app needs removing. Seems to have appeared in last 24 hours.
I tried running avast and malwarebytes on my phone. Neither of those detected anything.
Came up 3/30
I Googled this yesterday, glad I did again today to find this forum. I bought this phone March 22nd and I am noticing my lock screen button stopped working around the same time the app appeared. This phone is brand new from amazon and I am about to return it, but something tells me this issue is software related as the button was working fine on 3/29 and now it clicks and is responsive to the touch, but it will only "sometimes" lock the screen. Right now it is fully functioning, but it will start to fail if I have too many apps open, or if I am running a game. It specifically won't work while in an app, but will work when on the home screen with no apps open.
On top of all of this, my phone has been getting weird ads, but male ware detection doesn't see it, also, the phone is a lot slower now. Whatever this is, I don't want to be connected to it.
Update: the v stands for Vietnamese. The app is some Vietnamese chatting service. Googled "vchat' you guess should try it too.

I did look it up and found that. I'm just trying to figure out how it got there and how to remove it.

I got frustrated trying to figure out how to remove this app, so I decided to restore the phone to factory defaults. I've only had the phone for a month, so I didn't have much on it.

I have a Galaxy S5 Android version 6.0.1 and this URL shortcut also appeared on my homesceen. Likewise I would like to know what app / service was used to create this advertisement so I can disable / uninstall it.

Fingerprint problem using with apps

I have several apps that can authenticate with fingerprint. But what I'm having happen is that when I launch the app, the fingerprint screen pops up and immediately it goes away and to the app screen. Depending on the app it either just requires a password or has a message if "You have used all password attempts".
Anyone else seeing this, and have a solution?
The problem is likely in the apps.
I use 3 bank apps that require fingerprint authentication for confirming every operation and they are working flawlessly.

I have one app which sometimes does not prompt the emui black overlay screen for fingerprint.
Going to 'recent apps' and choosing said app again, show finally the fingerprint screen overlay.
I choosed to disable fingerprints checks for this app.
They all work great on my Note 9. Do, I don't think it's specifically the apps unless it's a compatibility issue between then and Huawei phone.
Probably some apps need to be updated for Android 9 and likely for managing an on-screen fingerprint scanner, which is more difficult to deal with than a physical one due to the overlay operation, particularly if an app doesn't strictly implement the Google Android fingerprint specific API.

I got to thinking about that, and I bet you are right.
I'm surprised I let myself purchase this phone with the in-screen FP reader. I never liked the idea. It's so convenient on the back...holding the phone, the finger lands there. I never understood what the big deal was about having it on the screen.
Add this to that equation...makes it frustrating.
Thanks for the input. I was wondering if anyone else was having the problem...interestingly not seeing that in the replies.
Hang on. I own Mate 20 Pro since November and I have never had this problem until more or less a week ago. I am using many apps where I authenticate with a fingerprint and they have been all working absolutelty fine. It just got broken a week or two ago. I don't believe it is app related since many apps suddenly got affected. It looks like a firmware bug to me, possibly after the latest update?
Yeah it after first emui 9.1 update.
Only Google Play/ pay is acting up like that.
Sure there is an update coming with July patch
Also fixes sudden shutdown.
I have some Apps where the fingerprint button is not visible after the update, but the function is still working. You just have to know the position.

App Info tries to automatically Force Close/Stop apps

Not sure when this started as I rarely go into an apps settings outside of the app itself. What I noticed is when I go into Android Settings then Apps then pick any app from the list, as soon as I select an app it moves to that apps screen and automatically pops up with a force close message about stopping the app even though I didn't press anything. I'll try to post some screen shots later. The worst part is it gets caught in a repetitive loop no matter what you press. The only way out is via the home screen button or the app switcher. Nothing else is malfunctioning but I cannot find a way to make it stop.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

After a few months of off-and-on trying to figure out how to solve this bug and see what caused it, I finally post here and within an hour I figure it out. It turns out the issue has to do with the app: Android Assistant when under Accessibility the App's permission is set to ON under installed Services. I've emailed the app developer to point out that bug.
