The default contacts app is doing a good job in the sense that it launch quickly (no lag) and it does what I ask it to do. My only pet peeves is this message telling me to try sharing my profile. Is their a way to remove this message? I already disabled contact sharing in settings but this message is still there (see attached image). I tried to use Google Contacts app as a replacement but it's not as fast, I see stutters and lags when I launch the app and it's enough to bug me.

Just share it, lol only ur contacts will see
What if I don't want to share it??? I see it as another useless thing Samsung try to shove down our throat. I was able to remove lot of bloated useless stuff with adb but, I didn't find how to remove this particular feature.

The feature is in the contacts app itself and you can't do anything about it

I was hoping it would disappear by uninstalling the service it depends on but it didn't work. In the case of the themes section of settings menu, it disappear from the menu as soon as you uninstall com.samsung.android.themecenter

In app purchases with Google wallet. It shouldn't be in running apps, just in cached apps so no biggie.

Sadly it's in running apps until I manually kill it. Currently apart from wheres my water it happens with another app "wallpaper changer".

The process gets triggered every time I open the app.
These 2 are apps from very established devs so it cant be spam.
Hmm not cool. Somebody else might chime in on this, but I can see why you wouldn't want it running if it sticks when you exited the app. :/
Edit: I believe you would need to contact the app coders to fix this issue. Other apps that have billing work fine, so they're likely stopping the service properly unlike WMW and wallpaper changer.
For the reference, WMW has been through numerous patches, so it's not really a matter of spam rather than sometimes shoddy coding.

Yes I suppose this is correct I have many other apps as well with in app purchasing options and they dont do this.
Thanks for the input.
If somebody else also knows about this then do chime in.
Bought wheres my perry in the ongoing sale and it does the same thing. :|
The stupid billing service process is that process which are not give desired results. That means which not meet our need.

Hi there. Recently, ads that look like the image above have been popping up insistently on my phone. Every single time i pick it up after an interval, the ad pops up and takes up the whole screen, unless i click "no, thanks" or "Back" or "Home" it won't go away.
I'm getting very frustrated and i have uninstalled about 90% of my apps. I installed cleanmaster to clean my system cache to get rid of any unwanted files and i run it all the time. I've also tried all the ad blockers/detectors on the play store but they cannot detect any sign of malicious software.
Any advice? I would really hate to do a factory reset but i would like to know the cause of the problem, if it's an app. What's the point of having an android if i can't install any apps?!
Any ideas on how i can get to the root of the problem? It's frustrating as f***.
what happens if you press the recents button? does it show any app or just not respond?

It opens a webpage. One of those annoying "contest" websites where you are asked to do quizzes or enter your number to win a prize.

And what about the other 10%? Check all your apps...
Have you rebooted after uninstalled the others?

Hum... It's on your side, not Android... You obviously downloaded something...
It's an app for sure, but we cant help you unless you show us the list of your remaining apps.
When you find it, just uninstall it. No need to clear cash or anything, it wont make a difference anyway. And if you got it from google play, you should report it since it is against their guidelines. https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479847?hl=en
If it is not from the play store e.g. some pirate app, I dont feel sorry for you... If it's a legitimate app from outside the playstore you should raise your concern with the developer.
For those of you wanting to exploit your Data plan for WiFi, Tether, Bluetooth, this app is Confirmed working for the S5 with 4.4.2 with NO ROOT NEEDED.
1. Download the app from the Play Store for FREE.
2. Buy the Key for it ($7.95).
3. Turn on the app, make sure the Key is recognized.
4. Turn on the WiFi.
5. ONE TIME PASSWORD set-up, (unless you delete permissions after each use for easy unlock screen).
6. Then within 30 seconds, you must click over to the Integrated WiFi/Tether area of 'Other networks' and click the WiFi there to turn it on.
App, Key, Recognize, WiFi, 1 time PW, 30 sec integrated WiFi enable. Done.
If you want to change the name and security of the WiFi Hot-spot you will be creating, do so before you activate, otherwise you must restart program and process.
Quick demo and proof that it does work on the Galaxy S5
Just want to warn/give a heads up to anyone who downloads to use this, you give yourself up permission to 3rd parties to your email, internet, apps, and other things on your phone. You actually get a pop up telling you that..not really worth that risk in my book for something I only used once in a blue moon on my S4

@Dennisg34, have you seen the number of Installed 3rd party Certs that are on this phone from the Box?
He's right, if you are permission paranoid, be wary. If you want to have WiFi/Tether on your phone without Root (which I have been using this app for years with no issue) then you are safe to buy/use this app...

Yet your battery still looks to be very close to full (actually, it looks like it's full). 85.7% of jack squat is jack squat.
Point is it kept it awake the entire time I was in a movie with the phone on airplane mode.
Always in search for app updates!

can't just ''Force close at application list ? '' I've tried that one and my task manager did not saw it or just try to find some app blocker when airplane is for special profiles/modes etc. Did not get in deep enough to just understand but mostly as he said ''Finding all time updates'' when i do not use it, i just disable google updates and when i need then just simply enable them.
Hope this could help you !
Fyi - Maybe Some task killlers may do this the same while blacklisting them

just freeze it. you can use several apps to freeze google play and google play services. as for me my favorites are Link2SD and LuckyPatcher. everytime you have to go to the movies just quickly freeze it (and reboot if want to make sure).

In the Themes section of S8 +,
(similar thread as yours)
Some members that had same issue,
cleared Bixby "cache" (Settings /Apps /Bixby... cache) Afterwards they managed to do update.
Good luck
Same problem here. Shows update available, click update, and says I have the latest version.
I updated but no voice options at all I think it was just the ui change

I was earlier checking for a app shortcut
with QuickShortcutMaker app and saw
Bixby voice etc all listed and installed
but not enabled. Obviously
missing some other.. software ?
See screenshots
i do believe we might still wait a few months for voice input.
Bixby, i mostly use, for easy access to my to email accounts.
Just press button and i can read my new emails.!
I am still on old Bixby version
Not sure if anyone else has noticed but if you are using the samsung keyboard and hit the voice button it appears to use bixby for dictation. Interesting....

Sorry to disappoint you, but it's not my device's theme!
Theme, icons, fonts (in screenshots) from 3rd party app QuickShortcutMaker (free Play store)
Maybe download, install
and the search for something similar.? (Reason is, you can always compare themes )
Good luck
Maybe this is update?
