dcm provider prpblum

[Khalid manu]

Daily I get pop ups on my Galaxy 6S phone that interrupt whatever I'm entering, whether it's a calendar entries, a message, etc. The message on the pop up is "Unfortunately, DCMProvider has stopped working. I have to hit the OK button to get it to disappear, but it reappears a few minutes later. I have to go to Ap Manager, All, and find the DCMProvider, Force Stop it and clear data. There is a disable button but it's greyed out. This is only a temporary fix because it always returns, sometimes quickly, sometimes later in the day, but it always returns with the pop ups. Is there a solution to this problem. I've contacted Samsung and Verizon but no one seems to know how to disable it and get rid of the pop ups. Maybe you have a solution.

If I were you and all else fails, I would save my data from the phone and do a factory reset.
Let us know if you go that route and if that fixed the issue.

It's hard to find anything about it, but from what I can gather, it has to do with wi-fi. I found this little nugget in a firmware FAQ from Actiontec, which makes Screenbeam, a wireless display:

(Q) What is DCM?
(A) DCM stands for Different Channel Mode. DCM is a function of the wireless network adapter and its driver. It enables the system's wireless adapter to simultaneously operate multiple connections on different wireless channels, and supports applications such as Wi-Fi infrastructure and Wi-Fi Direct.

However, this doesn't mean that I know for sure why DCM Provider is stopping. I'd suggest a cache partition wipe to start with, which won't erase any personal data: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-29314
