Incipio Offgrid Power Pack brings Ads ?!?

[jbhenry]

Hi all, I've had my MZP for a day and half now, and just noticed something. When I snapped the Incipio battery mod on my phone, it started showing this on the lock screen after powering it on:


WTF?
Anybody else seeing this? I have the battery mod that Moto was giving away when you ordered online (in the US). This is not the one with wireless charging.
What gives? This kinda pisses me off to be honest.

Someone else had this issue but believed it was from a resent update.

You installed a third party app that is doing that. It's not from official moto software.

Definitely check out the thread that Connert linked to.

I remember in some of the "bloat removal" discussions that there was a sort of background program that had the ability to let Verizon install programs on your phone. I wonder if that's where these charging ad programs are coming from...

I'd hope not. Glad I went unlocked though!

Have you looked into disabling DT Ignite?

It certainly looks like a third party app... Try to uninstall any recently installed apps or updates

New action when charging, please help me fix - Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com

Yep, that seems to be it. Per the linked thread, i removed the ZCamera and ZGallery apps, and the ad screen has gone away.
Since I've only had my phone a couple days, I assumed those were pre-installed. Anyway they're gone now!
Thanks

Thanks for the tip. I just disabled it. Wondering now what other crap is on this phone.
