Question How to get rid of "please turn on play protect" nag screens? - Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

I'm getting these nag screens from Google play protect all the time:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I used to get them maybe once e week or less frequently, but since recently I get them all the time, many times per day after I unlock the phone. It seems to correlate with the latest Samsung firmware update (April 2023), but I can't tell if it's a Samsung thing or a Google thing, I wouldn't put it past either of them because they are both identically horrible. I tried to disable notifications for Play store, but that doesn't get rid of the nag screen. Is there another system app responsible for the nag screen which I can disable the notifications for, or something I can do via ADB?

I disable Playstore. Try firewall blocking it otherwise. Try temporarily disabling Google play Services as Playwhore is a dependency of it.
Agreed, both Samsung and Gookill are a menace at this point. Both are voracious data miners.

Why don't you turn it on by accepting it?

I'll test if disabling play store gets rid of the nag screen - if it's actually the play store app causing it rather than some background service. Play services can't be disabled and lots of apps won't work without it (I don't have the nerve to de-google it and it's almost impossible with Samsung anyway).
Maybe it's just some special permission to throw the nag alert, which can be disable with SetEdit or something like that?

Extreme data usage by the play store and google music

I've had this past 4 days a HUGE ammount of data usage on both applications, while ive been using them on wifi only. Google play is set to only update apps on wifi and google music was only used on wifi... Can anybody shed some light here?

That's crazy! What did you update or use?
Chances are, you have automatic updates enabled for the Play Store. It checks to see if you have it enabled and asks if you want to enable it if it isn't. It also presents you with a warning that data charges may apply if enabled.
Just check your settings and disable them.

Samsung Free stuck on "rejoin"

Getting fedup of trying to sort this by myself as Samsung Tech are nothing short of useless.
When Samsung Free updated to the latest version with the TV included I started getting the message I need to wait until "the leave process" has been completed and can take "up to 1 day". Well two weeks later (14 days!!!!!) it's still not resolved. Posted on Samsung Members and a few others have the same problem.
I have tried the following
1. Force stopped and unistalled updates. Free then works but keeps bugging for the update, once updated then same message.
2. Tried no 1 again and pressed "leave Free" which worked but once updated same issue.
3. Reset app preferences
4. Removed Samsung account from the phone and once the account was back then same message
5. Same problem on my tab s6 which I have now deactivated Samsung Free.
Any ideas apart from using Microsoft Launcher or Nova

Sammy tech support sucks worse than a Bronx hooker
Try clearing system cache.
Clearing data in all related apps.
Factory load on all Samsung junk.
Clear Google Play Services data (just for good measure)
Inversely try updating Sammy apps from the Galaxy Store only not Playtore.
Reboot, reboot, reboot...
Make sure you haven't disabled a needed parent app.
Turn off all power management... destroyer of worlds.
Replace with a 3rd party app or wait for Sammy to fix it... eventually... maybe.

Can't login to Google, no maps in apps, location issue. OP8T

Hello,
I've recently got OP8T and I was not planning to use Google account on it as I simply don't need it. But since the start I'm having issues with location GPS, the issue is when I'm inside buildings it's not finding location by network/BT etc. eventhough in settings I switched it on. Only GPS outside of buildings works. Another issue is that I do not see maps in different apps like uber or food delivery apps. So I thought the issue might be because of my lack of Google account login, but when I tried to login I get this error "Couldn't sign it - there was a problem communicating with Google servers".
So I'm a bit stuck with lack of network localization, lack of maps in apps, and can't login to Google.
Any idea how to fix any of those issues? Photos of those issues here: IMG
Thanks a lot.

from the screen shots you provided you do not have cell service.
is the radio broken or are you running without a sim?
I tried both, with sim and without. The solution was hard reset and now it works. Thanks for help anyway.

How to remove the Samsung account app?

I'm at a loss.
Been searching forever for a solution.
The problem is that the Samsung account app keeps bugging me to accept the new terms and conditions.
I won't.
I don't even have a Samsung account and I never plan to get one.
I want the app and its annoying notifications gone forever.
I've tried to force close the app, but it restarts immediately.
I've tried to disable the permissions of the app, but it forcibly takes them back immediately.
I've tried to factory reset the app, but it auto updates itself.
I really want it gone.
Can I ADB uninstall it? If so what is the package name?
Or use Package Disabler which is what I do. It doesn't really do anything much in the background on my N10+ so I don't disable it.
Disabling it may lock you out of the Galaxy Store.
If it's being a menace clear system cache and the app's data. You can also firewall block Samsung updates which will shut it up.

Found the package name in your screenshot.
Was able to adb uninstall it.
It's gone!

Question BT Connection Issues after Play Services Update

Hello
From time to time I have issues connecting my GW4 Classic LTE to my Pixel 6 Pro A13.
Today I updated my Pixel's Google play Services to the latest beta. After that, I received this notification (allow notifications for GW4):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then I checked the notification settings permission:
It seems that I can't activate the switch because of restricted permissions (security):
Now The Galaxy wearable app can't connect to the GW4. Also phone can't hold the Bluetooth connection alive:
I had this issue before. Only factory resetting the watch solved this problem. But I don't wanna reset my watch every few weeks. Rolling back to previous play services changed nothing. Clearing play services app data also triggers this issue.
Any ideas? Thanks.
EDIT: I allowed the restricted notification setting like the following instructions. But still no BT Connection. "No notification s possible" notification came back. GW4 only uses WiFi or LTE
Unless youre prepared to deal with the downsides of it, never update core apps like play services to a beta....
My own Watch 4 got its connection wiped just doing an update to a "stable" build from the play store overnight
There is no easy fix, i have to reset and restore from backup....
My ultimate point here is i wouldn't actively invite mayhem by using betas....
