Is MDE Service Framework important?
If we take a look at its page on Galaxy Store, it shows the “Quick Share” feature. We can understand that this framework is the base for wireless connection between galaxy phones and is required for sharing files or media between them.
On Samsung Galaxy devices, Quick Share lets you share files with other users at their original quality, including photos, videos, PDFs, and other documents.
Quick Share was launched in 2020 on select Samsung Galaxy phones but it’s now available on all Samsung Galaxy devices running Android 10+ or One UI 2.0+. Besides that, Quick Share works on Samsung laptops running Windows.
The Framework had an important update in June to enhance the feature. the update concerns connection issues between Galaxy and Windows devices, as well as improved connection latency and stability.
MDE Service Framework turned off Wi-Fi
The notification will appear on the screen after sending something over Wi-Fi direct or Quick Share, or if you accidentally hit Quick Share to a nearby phone from the share menu when you meant Share via SMS, for example.
Because it uses tethering to do that, it restores Wi-Fi state when it’s done thus you get the notification.
You can simply get rid of that issue by turning Quick Share off.

Thanks for the info just curious can the connection be called back by another party after having shared with them in the past
You’re welcome, Brian. Every time, sharing files with Quick Share requires both Samsung devices to have the “Quick Share” feature turned on. And the receiver can accept or deny the operation. I hope that helps.
Update Note: Nearby devices are now shown under the names of your saved contacts, making the transfer of pictures, videos, and other files quick and easy.
While MDE Svc Framework may not be spyware in itself, might it possibly attract hackers via the quick share avenue ?
[This is way above my head, really.
I can use my phone but when it comes to security I know little past an AV and ad blocker and maybe a VPN when I figure out which is better and hopefully free.]
But for some reason the above question popped up when I read your informative article.
Slide in, set up, slide out.
Thank you for the command to delete it should one wish to do so.
I am ancient, went online in the late 80s using the MSMD method (“Monkey-See…”)
back when programmers *specified u/l case for a frigging website address.
to try to see what was going on in the world back when AOL was exploding on the scene, while in the background whoever actually did create Windows was dreaming it up.
Anyway, wanted to ask.
