Issues with Android 4.3 update on Samsung phones

[Patrick425]

Yesterday my android phone (Samsung Galaxy 4) performed a system upgrade. Since that has completed I continue to get a shield symbol on the top of my screen and when I view it I get this message:

 

An application attempted to access system on your device without authorization. This attempt has been blocked

 

When I click on it, it repeats the top message and adds this:

 

Deleting applications obtained from unauthorized sources may improve security.

However, it does not give me any information on which application is causing this error. Any help anyone can provide with this would be appreciated.

Is this the update you did? Seems you are not alone.

I got other hits too when googling the issue.

The 4.3 update has been causing me all sorts of problems. I don't use the "phone" part of my device, but have not been able to take a phone call since the update last week. It seems to randomly switch to silent when in vibrate mode or doesn't notify until it is going to voicemail.

I've split the above messages off of the other thread to hopefully give these posts a better chance of getting the attention of some of our Android gurus.

Well it seems like the issue with the warning/message that I kept getting has been fixed. I have not received any of those today.
