When I attempt to download something, such as a movie, the select
action box pops up asking me to choose. After I make my choice then choose
always it goes away, problem is the whole thing repeats even tho I chose
always use the same app the first time.
How do I get it to remember the action and stop popping up in the future?

I've had this problem for a while, but I'm pretty much fed up with it to this point that I've decided to ask about it. I don't know if this is restricted to the TP2, but I'd imagine it's probably a Windows 6 problem more than the device.
The issue is that when I play any full screen application (one that covers the top and bottom menu bars), typically games, sometimes it loses it's status as the active window but still remains in front of everything else. This means that where ever I pres on the screen, it will select whatever is behind the game and therefore gives me no ability to select the game itself.
This is most prominent with the keyboard button in the bottom bar. It's not uncommon for me to have to press something on the edge of the screen in one of these applications only to have the keyboard pop up and garble all of the graphics. Once this occurs, there is no real easy way to go back. I have to open up task manager and either close the full screen app or activate it again. Another time this becomes a big issue is if I'm on the program tab of TF3D (which frequently you are after you've opened an app) and basically anywhere I press just starts opening applications left and right.
Does anyone know why this occurs and is there a fix for it?
The other day I saw the below notification on my phone coming up automatically.

When I clicked on it, it asked me to install "FunnyTime" app.

I clicked cancel but the notification is still there.
If I restart my phone, the notification would disappear but some time later it will appear again asking me to install the game.
Any idea where is this coming from? I am sure I have not installed it either via phone or web play store.
Please help, I want to get rid off this as it is really annoying. Looks like a spyware to me!
next time the notification pops up, long-press it and tap the "app info" button that appears.
that should tell you what app is trying to install it.
Thanks for the info. I'll try that and post more details about this " ghost app".
Anyone else get this little annoyance, while on a website I click a link then the "Complete Action Using" dialog box shows. It has Chrome, internet, maybe Nook or a couple other apps, asking whi h one to use. I make my choice then the second box pops up telling you to go to settings>general>default apps and clear defaults. I have my defaults set up, but if I clear them and vo fhru it again the same dialogs constantly appear. If anyone has a solution that would be awesome. Thanks
I get that too. It doesn't seem to matter if there's a default set or not. EVERY time i click a link in the browser (stock) i have to choose what app to view it in! Drives me nuts.
say 2 things, new to oreo and s9, last phone was an s7. anyways, if i had a program running in the notifications, say for my motorcycle gps, tomtom, i was able to long press the notification, then go to app data and force stop. not seeing that anymore.
Trying to find the fastest way to force stop an app running, that has a notification. for example this one says connect device. I am not trying to hide the notification, but force close it when i don't want it running. for example this app gives me live traffic, sometimes i want it, sometimes i don't.
hope this makes sense, and thanks.
anyone have any ideas here, to force stop an app.
thanks
I'd make use of the built in Device Maintenance. If you enter this menu and click the 3-dot menu on the top right, you can add a shortcut to your Apps List. You can then place this wherever you want on your homescreen. You'll be able to quickly enter the Maintenance sub-menu and then put whatever you aren't using to Sleep, immediately.
There may be a way to add an icon to your lock menu to jump right to it (using a 3rd party shortcut app,) but I haven't swam that far in the sea yet.
recents, long press the app icon on the left, wait for the i info letter to appear on the right, press i, force stop.
this was posted elsewhere. seems like the ticket !!
So basically what is happening is that multi window no longer works on my Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 SM-T320, with Android 4.4.2 KitKat and no root. When I press and hold the back button on my tablet, the multi window tray doesn't show up. It also doesn't show up when I swipe from the right of the screen. However, if I make another user account on the tablet, multi window works perfect with no errors. Keep in mind I do have multi window turned on in the settings. Also, if I go to multi window in the settings, and then enable "Open in Multi Window view", and then, for example, I go into the My Files app and open up an image, i can then use the Gallery and My Files app side by side. Another thing that happened is that when I press the button to expand the quick toggles in the notification panel, nothing happens. I have to swipe down with 2 fingers to make it work. I can also expand the quick toggles menu on another user account. But this didn't justs start happening for no reason. I know what I did to cause it. I am just looking for a way to reverse the effects of what I did.
So what I did was I got the app called QuickShortcutMaker. For whatever reason, I went to the app titled "Setup Wizard", and its icon was an Android guy with a cube shape in the middle. Then I launched the activity "com.google.android.setupwizard.SetupWizardTestActivity". That was a mistake. It opened up a setup screen that asked me to choose a language. Then I closed out of it, and some things started happening. Not only did the button to expand the quick toggles stop working, but so did the shortcut to the settings app in the notification panel. When I pressed and held the power button, it opened up the menu to restart the tablet, shut it down, toggle airplane mode, and mute the audio. This time, though, there was no option to toggle airplane mode. I restarted my tablet, and it led to my current situation.
I want to know if there is any way to make this go back to normal. I have tried a bunch of things. I have noticed that the Setup Wizard app now uses 20 KB of storage as oppose to 16 KB of storage, so I tried clearing its data in the Settings app, but that didn't work. I also tried turning off the Setup Wizard app in the Settings, but that didn't help either. I even tried clearing the data for the app titled com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService, which I found out is actually the service for multi window, but that did nothing. I hope I don't need to reset my tablet to fix this, because then I will lose all my data. Multi window is a really good feature Samsung has included, which I used to use a lot, and sometimes i really need to use it.
Sorry if this is hard to understand because of my bad grammar or because I went into too much detail. I was typing this on my tablet, which is the same one that I can't use multi window on anymore, so I was typing on sort of a small surface.
