Android Question Strange Screen from a Samsung S3 Smart Phone

I have the following simple sub when called, sends and intent and all email options like: Email, Gmail, Facebook, etc. icons to allow you to select an email type. The icons display immediately after this sub is executed on 4 out of 5 Samsung S3 phones. The 4th phone shows a strange screen shown below. Even the screen that displays after this is not of much help:
Has anyone who dealt with Samsung S3 seen something like this?
Thank you

B4X:
Sub EmailDailyFileTextFile
  Dim MyEmail As Email
  MyEmail.To.Add(MyAddress.Text)
  MyEmail.Subject="Daily text file."
  MyEmail.Body="Emailing you the daily text file for today: "
  MyEmail.Attachments.Add(File.Combine(DBFilePath,MyDailyTextFile))
  StartActivity(MyEmail.GetIntent)
End Sub

Seems like the user of this phone has selected Share via Bluetooth and checked the "always" checkbox in a previous occasion.
You can clear this setting in the device settings.

You can also try to force the intent chooser to appear:
B4X:
Dim in As Intent = MyEmail.GetIntent
in.WrapAsIntentChooser("Title")
StartActivity(in)

Thank you Erel. I will get hold of the phone on Tuesday and fix it per your instructions and report back.
My condolences for the death of your former Prime Minister.

I got my hand on a S3 phone similar to the one giving us trouble, but for the life of me I could not find anywhere where to change those BLUETOOTH settings, unless they will only appear of the phone we are having trouble with and I do no have it till Tuesday.

The bluetooth setting was not apparently the default because the 'Clear Default' was grayed out. Therefore, to resolve the problem, we had to completely reset the phone to its default factory settings.
