Where is market pop up coming from?

[AC Question]

I have a jewel or a cart icon popping up in my home screen twice a day. I figure it's bloat from an app but I can't figure out which one. I thought it was gosms but it's gone and the market thing is still here. TouchPal is my next thought but I don't want to get rid of it.

Hi and welcome to Android Central.

Would you please post a screenshot showing this popup? That will help us identify it.

Hello Ms. Knotek
since the previous speaker didn't answer your request, I want to, because I have the same problem with this popup but I know that it's caused bei Touchpal. Is there a way to get rid of this pop-up without deleting Touchpal?

PS: I put a screenshot in the attachments

I really can't stand this market anymore.. I don't want to get rid of touchpal because it's the ONLY keyboard I like.. I have tried all the others and I just don't like the feel of them.. But you can't even drag the icon of the screen.. You have to go through the motions of opening it then going to your active running pages and apps and close it.. I know it's TouchPal because it says it at the top of it in there.. I just really need a way to get rid of it, if there is one.. I'm with these guys, I can't stand it!!!!

@snakeheadx21 and @Auntbee9223,

Can the app be uninstalled in Settings>apps?

Dear Golfdriver97,
yes, the app can be uninstalled in the settings, but just as Auntbee9223, I love this app and only want to get rid of the advertisements which pop up when I click on this purple jewle (like in my screenshot) or open the keyboard. I've already deleted the app and reinstalled it but the advertisements keep coming back.

Sincerly,
Snakehead

Is there a paid version of the app?

 

[snakeheadx21]

yes, you can by premium for $4,99/year, but I think its too much for just the keyboard

 

[Golfdriver97]

What is in the keyboard that you like so much?

 

[snakeheadx21]

most the skin then the build up actually I like everything on this keyboard except this deadly annoying advertisement

 

[Golfdriver97]

I was thinking that perhaps this is a good time to consider a replacement.

 

[snakeheadx21]

does it make sense to install an earlier version of this app or will the advertisment remain?

That could work. You would have to disable automatic updates to stay on the version.

ok I think I try this and report it here if it works
