My Phone Turned To Electronic Billboard by pimper24: 8:21am On Sep 14, 2018
Adverts of all sort now play on my phone screen every minute. Even if I'm trying to press the buttons , a sudden Pop up of Advert will make me press it and off it goes to the website.
It's so annoying and wastes a whole lot of my time each time I'm using the phone. All sort of adverts down to noodles and ladies undies run on my screen.
I don't really know which app I downloads that got me here. I have been trying to deactivate whatever thing is the cause but still no clue

It's a monkey test virus and you can't remove it even if you uninstall the app.. Best method is to download stubborn Trojan remover, reset security app and malwarebyte to scan your phone to remove all of it..... Alternatively you can flash the phone with new stock rom...

Even if you uninstall the application it might not stop popping up, best bet, look for a new firmware, or look for a competent phone engineer to flash a new ROM for you

I'm not a phone-phone type that installs this and that. I don't share my phone either. Can't remember anything I downloaded.
Can the mod help us share this so experts could bail us out of this pls.

Factory reset will do nothing. I think it's Google trying to force these paid Ads on us.

Been trying to block mine to no avail. Silly and random apps are installed when I mistakenly click on the pop-ups.

it's not Google. If you use free apps, expect this.

Which kind of free apps? Are all apps not free?
Re: My Phone Turned To Electronic Billboard by myself13: 12:50pm On Sep 14, 2018
android phones that doesn't come with google play preinstalled in them seem to have better security at blocking unwanted random ads.

apps with an option of premium package. You trade off getting premium apps with getting apps with ads. The developer makes money per ads you click. If you get the premium apps then you have no ads to always greet you on your screen.

if u are using infinix, tecno or any chinese phone, check your app list and delete an app there titled "NOTIFICATION" and it will stop.

It has nothing to do with Google. U have installed something, probably from outside play store. Flash a new rom is the only best solution. Also be wary of apps like opera mini and uc browser.

Reload the rom. I can do that for you if you're in Lagos. Check my signature.

Bro few days back all my browsers keep opening ads in Chrome till i disabled it

Before you factory reset the phone or other solutions, you need to find out the culprit app. To achieve this, check your data usage on Settings. You will find a list of all the apps and services making use of your internet connection, you will know the culprit by the amount of data it uses.
Apps like Babel fonts can only be disabled not uninstalled. You can also install Avast mobile security to clean up your device and uninstall malicious apps.

That's because chrome is ur default browser. So once an ad requires to open a link with webpage it launches chrome. I've been using chrome for many yrs, such has never happened. Ur phone has been infected, it has nothing to do with Google.
