The only thing I can think of is, there is something running in the background in Waze that takes advantage of the opening to scan for WiFi even when WiFi is disabled on the phone. Dunno. I'm just glad I'm no longer seeing the Time Warner pop up. Thanks again for trying to help troubleshoot this.

Figured it out. settings --> wifi --> turn wifi off --> click blue link for "scanning settings" --> set WiFi scanning to "off". Leaving WiFi scanning on allows apps to scan for wifi networks automatically even when wifi is off.

No, but I will try that as well.

Must be something with the phone or Sprint. I had the WiFi disabled and made it about 90% of the way home but the WiFi enabled itself and I got the message from Time Warner encouraging me to sign on. I selected "more" and then "sign out of network" but I was prompted to sign in again about...

I ran an ad network detector and it did detect a fair amount of "junk" that I deleted. Will see if that makes a difference on the drive home.

No. To be honest, I didn't know such Apps existed. I will try that and advise. Also, the pop up that appears doesn't look like an ad. As you may know, in Waze, ads will not appear while the vehicle is moving. Whatever this is, appears while I'm driving. Thanks for taking the time to help...

No. This is a work phone and I haven't added any streaming apps. You may be onto something, though. When at home, I do have the WiFi active on the phone and it sees/uses my Time Warner wireless internet rather than the 4g LTE (I gave bad info earlier...this phone is Sprint, not Verizon)...

By "app drawer" do you mean settings --> application manager? If so, is there a way to alphabetize the apps that are accessed via the apps shortcut on the phone's desktop? Other than doint it manually, I mean.
