My device displays advertising when I wake it up.

[AC Question]

I thought advertising was contained to the app, but when I wake my device there is a full screen ad appears for DocuSign. I don't know if google puts it there or one of my apps puts it there; its origin is unknowable. I want to remove it permanently. Any ideas?
Thanks, jimthom

Welcome to Android Central! Which device? The latest HTC Sense version apparently has a built-in Promotions "feature" that you can turn off: http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-10/748040-sense-home-ads.html

If you don't have an HTC phone, then it could be a hidden function of some 3rd party app you installed. This kind of thing has been seen with various apps, including ES File Explorer, Flash Keyboard, and a number of other apps.
