Stop lockscreen ads

JGJ — Sat, 06 May 2017 18:16:30 GMT

How is it possible to stop the phone presenting me with ads for apps I don't want on the lockscreen every time I wake it up, which have to be acknowledged before I can use the device? Thanks for advice, John

That's probably a third party acting up

Boot in >>> safe mode and see if you experience the same issue

That seems to help - many thanks for prompt and helpful response.

How can I find which App is causng the problem, so I can delete it?

Hi Guys,

Turns out to be caused by Opera Mini in my case. Just turn on Developer options, open Running Services, and go through all processes that have 1 or more running services. Look for LockScreenCharge or ChargeLockerService or anything similar. If you find such process, congratulations, you found the problematic app. After I uninstalled Opera Mini, no more ads when charging. What a relief!

Hope this helps!
