Note 8 new error message, "Wi-Fi Tips keeps stopping"

Since the last update, I am getting the above error message over and over.  The app "Wi-Fi Tips" does not appear on my apps pages, I did not install it, and while it appears in Settings/Apps, it cannot be force stopped, or uninstalled.

How can I stop these annoying pop-ups?

videobear1, we can imaging how this can be a nuisance. We were not able to view the image that you referenced. Are you able to provided a screenshot as to allow us a better understanding of what you are seeing?

Sure!  Here are a couple.  Note that the pop up seems to occur at random, not when I am doing any particular thing.

Besides the Android OS update, the only other thing that has changed recently is that we upgraded our Verizon FIOS internet to 1000 Mbps and are using the newer high speed Verizon router.

I also include a screenshot showing what App Info says about this app.

I am having the same exact issue with my Note 8 ever since the update. It is incredibly annoying.

Have you tried selecting the Force Stop option?

Hello CON6642,

 

I rely on my device every day and would be concerned too if I were having any issues with it. When this error message appears, are you unable to connect to Wi-Fi? If you press "Close App", does it go away? Have you restarted your phone since installing the update from Samsung?

This error was also posted on the Samsung Community https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Note8/wifi-tips-app/td-p/1370532

If that link doesn't go through, it's us.community.samsung.com/t5/Note8/wifi-tips-app/td-p/1370532

I responded there:  Yes, I've been having that problem occasionally for a couple of days, maybe since Thursday.

Today I was on a road trip going, on the road for 6 or 7 hours, and this error popped up 5 or 6 times.  Funny thing, most of the time on this road trip I was actually on the road, nowhere near any wifi spots.

No real answers yet.  I really need to make time to move everything over to the S20+ sitting on my deks for TWO WEEKS NOW.

Our goal is to assist you as much as possible, BitDreamer. I see that your post is from a couple of days ago and you mentioned that you were about to move everything to a new phone. Do you still need assistance with your Note 8?

 

You can find many ways to transfer content to your new phone at this link (https://www.verizon.com/support/content-transfer-help/). How does this sound?
