Hello good day. I have a Galaxy A32 dual SIM, and I just had a new SIM. Some context I have a SIM back in my original country then I moved here to Canada. I recently had a new SIM (by recently I mean today) and there's this message that keeps popping "open channel for BIP". I asked the people who inserted my SIM and just said I need to update my phone (During the time they were applying my SIM, my phone wasn't updated yet.) By the time I got home, obviously, I updated it and didn't work, it's still keeps appearing. I saw a similar post about this but it didn't quite help so I'm asking now. Thank you.

Add. info; No, I did not download any apps that caused this, it only happened after the SIM situation.

I am not a tech savvy.

"BIP" is Basic Imaging Profile, I think that it's normally associated with sending images via Bluetooth. 

If your Bluetooth is On, try Toggling it OFF and see if it goes away?

Hello! My Bluetooth isn't on. But I turned it ON, still appeared, and turned it off, and still appeared.

You can try Booting into Recovery & Wipe Cache, it might be related to your device's country of origin, and now that you have inserted a Canadian SIM, might be the reason?

It might be the reason, but I'm not fully sure yet.

Hello again! I believe that my situation has nothing to do with Bluetooth. I saw some information, I think BIP in this post would mean "Bearer Independent Protocol" (did a little bit of digging), though I don't know what it means, I think its somewhat related to that. Thanks for helping!

Yes, I saw that.. Do you have use any Bitcoin apps? 

Regardless, try Clearing Cache from Recovery.

But this what I think might be the issue?

1) Yes, I also saw that 'Basic Imaging Profile' thing. I didn't do anything with my Bluetooth.
I don't have that "BiP" app, lol.

2) I have no bitcoin apps or anything.

My phone is just any other phone, not for business or anything. I have social media apps and games (I don't think this relates to my situation), I have them all up to date (I hope so).
