Could this have anything to do with the phone being rooted? Are you able to check if the guest is rooted? I ran into this many years ago on a Linux build.

Thanks for the link PapaGary. Good info.

Thanks again. I understand I can back up my data via SD card, Flash drive (w/ USB OTG), Samsung Smart Switch & via synced Google account. So that's good. I just spoke with a Samsung rep. Turns out the only option for a clean install, according to them, is to send it for service. There appears...

Thanks, however; I'm new & unfamiliar with any "options and apps that can help with this". I'll better explain my thoughts. Say I download an app offering functions I want & give it permissions, then it turns out to be a rootkit & trojan for mining bit coins. Unsure of current or future Android...
