O.K. Sorry about that. Just an add on note ... I did locate the "draw over other apps" permissions and removed permissions for all except a couple that seemed necessary. Received a couple pop ups after that but had not rebooted. I just rebooted recently and have not had a pops up since, but...

No, Sir. If random, full-screen pop-ups are part of the deal, I am out. I do not accept. Also, if you read my post, I have attempted all the things suggested to remove. I removed recently downloaded apps. That did not work. I removed all Google apps. That did not work. So, I removed...

No. You can try to cut it anyway you like but Android or an Android app is causing me to get apparently random full screen, in my face, pop up ads. I did not bargain for that. I knew I would get ads within apps I agreed to receive, but not apart from any particular app if an app at all. I...

It just occurred again. Only apps running in background were mail and text. Phone was idle for a time and went to use it and there was a damn pop up. I don't care if it is the OS or an app that is doing it. Something is doing it and it bugs me. I am done with Android.

I don't know how to post a screenshot from a mobile device. Let me know and I will.

Seems to occur most when the device has been idle for a while.

I am accepting of ads in the free apps I have accepted. I am NOT accepting of full screen pop up ads that appear unrelated to any app.

These ads show "google play" in the ad. I am bare bones on the apps I have on my device for this very reason. I already had to do a factory reset to rid myself of the problem once. As i said, I lost myself and did download a ringtone app, but canceled mid-download and uninstalled.

Forget it. This is not a situation where I am downloading every app in the library. I download few and ones' that are oft-used by many. This is a Google/Alphabet issue that should be fixed!!!

Minimal apps placed on my phone. Regardless, as said, seemed to happen more when ringtone app downloaded. Stopped mid-download, but if it did indeed come from that one, too late. But why should I have to worry about every darn app I download? This benefits Google/Alphabet and they are the...

When I start my phone or move from one app to another, I sometimes get a full page ad screen I have to click through. Anyone found a way that works other than full reset? If I have to reset my phone to get rid of this annoyance, I am done with Android. Truly. If it happens with iOS, I will...
