Mobilepay not working due to default browser app
- /e/OS version:
- Device model(s):Samsung A52S 5G
- Impacted Application: MobilePay
- Affected application/URL:
- Browser/client and version:3.0.1-a14-20250607498955-community-a52sxq
## The problem
MobilePay is a widely used mobile payment app in Scandinavia that enables quick and secure money transfers, splitting Bills etc. Defacto standard. In DK it relies on MitID (requires a hardware token).
The problem is the /e/os browser causing trouble during the authentication proces, even though it is not the default browser on the phone. Even when I tried setting /e/os browser as the default browser I didn't have success.
Solution: make it possible to uninstall (or maybe just deactivate) /e/os browser without command line woodoo and USB cables. Or make sure The /e/os browser just works and is trusted by MitID and MobilePay.
Workaround:
Change default browser to Vivaldi (in my case) and uninstall default browser via abd. I have it working on my phone now.
