Hey all,
I found the above app in the Samsung App store. After installing it, it doesn't show an ability to uninstall it.
Also, searching through the app drawer on the phone it is nowhere to be found. I found it under Settings>Biometrics and Security. When clicking on the option, it brings up the app UI, however shortly after doing this a window pops up saying "Connection Error.. Unable to connect to server. Please try again later."
Has anybody have any experience with this? The info out there is minimal, as I've also read up on Enjin being supported by Samsung as well..screenshot attached for reference.. the system won't let me take a screenshot of the error window due to security reasons lol!
I'm wondering if this particular app is landlocked. Is anybody in USA/Canada able to open and use this?
Old thread - but I am using it.
What's the link for this app. I'm actually trying to find it abs can't

I'm not keen on sending Google any more information than necessary, and "Search Suggestions" in the address bar (wherein Google gets a recording of every URL I enter) is certainly not something I'm interested in.
I looked hard and couldn't find a way to disable it. Please don't tell me I have to switch browsers to avoid Google's "gradually make users think data mining is a-ok!" strategy.
Check if you have the latest "Google search" app from the market. Download if need be, then open it.
It will be in the app drawer. Hit menu, then settings, then web, and finally, disable web sugestions.
Oh, that worked. Thank you very much.

So I'm on MIui and for the past 4 weeks I've been receiving approx 1 "spam" message a week which appears in the header of my screen.
It's a little bit annoying, and obviously, I'd like to get rid of them given a choice.
I've attached a screenshot showing the issue.
Is there any advice on how I can stop this spam message being received in the future please?
A cursory google search and an xda search has revealed no obvious answers
Thanks in advance
Looks like you have downloaded an app with airpush advertising, at least I think its called airpush anyway.
There is an app you can download that will tell you which app is the culprit or alternatively there is an opt out app that you can download.
I had the same problem after downloading a youtube downloader so I know how annoying it is
I'll check it up and get back to you.
thanks
appreciate you taking the time.
It's annoying!

seems to have solved it for me - a beautiful widgets addon seems to have possibly caused the problem? I say uninstall to that, see what the impact will be over the next week.
Thanks ponk2k for giving me the spark I needed to potentially solve this case.
Yep, it is airpush. You can get either airpush detector or add-on detector in the market which will show you which app is causing the notification bar spam aand give you the option of deleting it or else google airpush opt out to keep the app but rid yourself of the ads
I expect you've already found it, but I used this app to find the culprit when I had airpush problems:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.brosmike.airpushdetector
The Airpush Opt Out app doesn't seem to be available any more.
Dont forget guys that MIUI builds adds into the roms so it may not be just an app.
Since yesterday I've been getting ads that pop up over any and every app when I start them.
I've had this happen from an app I installed once before and uninstalling fixed it, but this time I tried uninstalling everything I've installed or updated in the past 2 weeks but they still keep popping up.
And none of the ad detectors can find these type of ads so does anyone know how to track the source?
Also this is the app I had and removed months ago that gave same problems https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=game.gles.rubikcube
Some apps running in the background causes this. Uninstall all the free app or cracked apps from your phone
I've uninstalled everything from 2 weeks before it started, and it isn't just cracked apps that cause it like you'll see by looking at the comments of the app I linked to.
So I need a way to find the app or process to find it.

You can try this:
- Install Shortcut Master app.
- Open Menu > Capture Shortcut. Here you can select 'Manually capture' and 'Auto capture', which one is suitable for you.
That way you can capture the shortcut when the ads appear. You can also know which app that the ads belong to.
i have the same problem, when i unlock th phone appear chrome window with ads, or suddenly a window over any aplication that i use inthat moment.
dam.
Samsung is adding support for ad blocking to its browser app on Android.
News detail
The first content blocker available for Samsung's Internet is Adblock Fast, which is also available for iOS and Chrome and Opera on the desktop.
So I got a replacement phone today. I can't use most of my downloaded apps. It says I have to turn off screen overlay.
It keeps telling me to change my settings. Ugh. I've Googled advice and I keep reading things about disabling lux for example but I don't have that app..
I've also read if I go into my app manager and click on more it should allow me to "draw over" and this isn't an option on my phone..

It's a message from latest security policy from Google. It was introduced in latest update.
When you open an app and this app asks for any kind of permission like access contact, storage or location, you have to make sure that there is no app running on top of everything. This is for your security because this app can answer for you without your permission.
Example: if you have a Messenger chat head open on top of the screen, Google will not let you answer if other application asks for permission. In this case just close the chat head.

I have tried Googling for a solution but nothing seems to work. Every time I try to allow permissions for an application, I get the dreaded "Screen overlay detected" message. I tried resetting all permissions and such, but the problem persists. It is truly annoying and I am on the verge of breaking my stupid phone, so can anyone tell me how to fix it please?
Thank you guys.
Only way I've found around it is to go to settings, apps, app manager, then in the upper right corner select apps that can appear on top. In that screen, choose the drop-down with the apps with permission granted, then ungrant each one individually. After going back and getting permission for the new app, you can go back and reactivate screen overlay for each app if you want.

Facebook Messenger usually causes this (chat heads), just force stop it and do what you want. The app "Screen Equalizer" causes it too if you happen to use it.
I have tried both these things but the error just kept coming back. I ended up reinstalling the ROM and now it works fine.

It is a security policy from Google. You can't grant permission if another app is open on top of current app. Like chat bubbles notifications in Facebook Messenger.
The reason is that the app can grant permission for you without your consent. You have to identify what is open on top of everything and close it before granting permission.

Additionally the edge effect on the blackberry PRIV trips this error message. Maybe the edge on Samsung does similar.
For some reason it only happens on Renovate Edge ROM for me. I reinstalled Renovate last night and got the error, and I fixed it by disabling (unchecking) all the apps that can draw over others and rebooting my device. Before the reboot, it's as though nothing changed, so make sure to reboot if you get that error.
