So i have been using a Galaxy S5 for about a month now... I noticed i was getting fullscreen pop ups and i though it was some downloaded apps and i removed them. But I am still getting them and i noticed it was only when I backout completely out of hangouts messaging app. If i press home or switch to another app I dont see the add. It has a grey background and the letter "i" on bottom left corner where i can press and it displays "ads by google".
I have scanned with Lookout, App brain and some other popular ad detector tools and nothing pops up so my guess is some setting on the phone that i might be opting out of something. Or maybe i turned off bloatware that is causing me this. My wife has the same phone and uses hangouts and its not getting the pop ups.
Used this guide to remove those that I understand i dont need. I removed MOST of those.

Any idea what exactly is causing me this pop up issue with hangouts? Searched all around and found some people with similar fullscreen pop ups but did not specify if it was hangouts nor did they ever say what solved their problem... Really need some help on this. Pretty sure its something stock on the phone.
