Google Play ads pop up every time I wake my phone up. Whether I'm checking mail, Trying to answer the phone(!), calls I miss while having to navigate from ad, Trying to take a picture (which usually I miss by having to get rid of ad) and even when playing their games (I often default because I've used too much time going around their pop up ads! Thinking of uninstalling GOOGLE.

Google Play doesn't actually run ads. There's an app on your phone that is redirecting ads to Play listings. Any free third party app is suspect, but these types of ads are usually found in flashlight apps and memory booster/cleaner's (which are junk and should not be used anyway). It could be a trial and error of uninstalling apps one at a time and using it for a bit until you find the culprit.
