Random ads / popups - AT&T LG G5 Questions & Answers

What is with these ads / pop-ups? I have had this G5 for literally 27 hours and haven't had time to do anything stupid with it. Can anyone he'll me with this? Is it something built into the phone or the websites I visit? It happened on my G3 as well. Its happened at (kotdb.com) and (xdaforums)

I got Tuga from the XDA app if you were wondering

Yea, wasn't in the play store.. Where am I looking?

Does Tuga require my phone to be rooted?
Sent from my LG-H820 using Tapatalk

The XDA Labs app has an Apps section, look there. And no it does not have to be rooted

The link to it on XDA Labs https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/tugapower.codeaurora.browser or
You can download it from here

IE ??? Does MS have an app for IE for android?

I had this same problem on my S7 edge-except it was worse.Same thing,but it took me to a page that said i had a virus etc etc.Than every time I woke up phone it sent me to the play store.
Only thing that helped was a factory reset.Problem solved.

This phone without root has frustrated me to no end because of this kind of stupid bull****. No more LG for me.

I had a similar issue with XDA premium. Simba501 suggested I try fixing permissions. It worked for me. I had to do it several times though. No more FC's. Hope it helps.

The issue important having you are is unfortunate. I've never important had this problem. I bought the XDA app and Tapatalk and use important both. I switch between them and the only problems important I get are occasionally I can't see a pic someone posted in a thread somewhere. But it seems random. Important.

Haha. Lmao. Anyways. The from I was using on the i777 made "im" into important. Didn't proof read anything and sent it out. When you said fix permissions do you mean in recovery or in settings or using a different app?

Can't alter Lock screen shortcuts?

Hey all, I have a rooted GSIII with a stock rom.
For some reason I can't change which shortcuts appear on my lock screen. Every time I try to get in the menu, it brings up the message "Unfortunately, settings has stopped".
Can anyone help?

If your device is rooted, boot into CWM recovery, wipe cache and dalvik then reboot, that should solve your problem buddy

Why does this keep popping up?

Why does this keep popping up and how do I remove it. It pops up every few seconds even when I hit clear. I don't like seeing a battery symbol up there if my battery gets below 30%!
Thanks.

Do you have avg antivirus installed? I used too and after every perccent drop it would pop back up
Via LG OG running Rootbox 4.2.2
Looks like you have jb. Long press on the notification until you get the little menu.choose app info and you will see what is generating it. You can also disable the notification from there.

Weird blue bar in apps (e.g. Gmail)

I have had a weird issue with a mysterious blue bar that shows up in some apps... Including Gmail... when I search or otherwise initiate the action bar. I am currently on CM 10.1.3 stable, for the third time... Using up to date GAPPS. But I have also tried other ROMs and all of them seem to have this "issue" that only I and a few other people have... And no one has found a fix yet AFAIK.
Here is a screenshot:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's driving me insane. I know I'm OCD but I would do almost anything to make it go away. It's persistent in every ROM I've tried... except bone stock. I flashed back to MDK via Odin and it was not present there... But seems to be in every other AOSP ROM I try...
... Does anyone have any suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

No love? Just an update:
I odin-ed back to stock... Wiped and re-rooted and re-flashed (fresh downloads too) multiple roms. This issue persists. Has anyone seen something similar? If so, do you know of any fix?
Thanks in advance!
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
yes I have it too. no I don't think its fixable its just like the YouTube bar glitch which Google couldn't fix so they just removed it. my guess is that this bug is the same kind of issue

the YouTube glitch is still there it just doesn't affect playing videos

What YouTube glitch are you referencing? Either I haven't noticed or I don't have it... Perhaps the former if it's subtle...

Is it that the first result is cut off or the inset video at the bottom is black? Sorry it wasn't obvious... I don't use YouTube all that much unless I go straight to a video.
Thx for the replies

Sure is a slow download, not much chitter chatter going on either. Thought there would be more excitement, lol! Been downloading for an hour and only at 38 percent.

I can get it here in MO, but when it's trying to update, it comes up with an error and stops. So I'm not running it right now. I can't figure it out, only thing I haven't done yet is a factory reset. But I'm trying to get it.

OTA's are not area dependent but your position on Google servers
