My phone is relatively new, not rooted yet, I keep cache clean, got ad blockers for non-rooted phones like ad clear and block-this and yet I have that intrusive pop-up ad after EVERY call !
Easy to ignore and close it....but.... a pop-up ad on a system app??
That's how I solved this issue on my LG V20 running Nougat:
Go to:
Settings / General / Google Services / Ads / Opt out of Ads Personalization
That did the trick for me ....
A pop up ad after every call....way to go, Google
My 2 cents
Hi, I'm using a Nokia 3 (TA-1032), upgradef rom Android 7.0 to 8.0.0. I've tried the above solution (or rather Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalization) but it did not help one bit. I still get the following type of pop-up after each call:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I click the 'ads' button, it takes me to the Google dialog for adding a payment method (creditcard/PayPal/voucher). I believe the ads dangling from the top right corner of the home screen still show up occasionally but this post-call pop-up ad shows after each call (different ads).
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Ok, as it turns out I can't post pictures yet because of the 10-post rule. I tried posting the URL but that just takes me to a similar hurdle. Can you see the image by copy/pasting the image URL from the botched post above?
Nope, I can't see the image.
I had this problem quite a while ago, so I don't even remember what else I did then.
I guess that if you keep on googling , using the right key words you will find other solutions.
Here is another one for instance:
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...fter-the-call/m-p/164985/highlight/true#M4228
Good luck
I did manage to find it out eventually. An app called 'QuickCall' appears to have been the culprit. It's odd, since -- as far as I can recall -- initially after I installed it, it did not show any ads.
Thanks again for your help.
As soon as I finish talking to someone who called me (received call) and drop the call, a blue window shows on my screen (covering the whole screen) which says Caller ID on top and kinda gives information about a call I received. I tried to access tabs and see if theres some app opened, but there are no open apps. Just a pop-up after every call showing some information about the call.
On my S9, I was able to go to Settings, Google, Ads and Opt out of Ads Personalization, however, this just changed the ads to non personalized ads. What the issue was is that Google added a screen after the phone call is done that allows you to enter a note and that page has the ad on it. To get rid of this, on that same page, click the button to turn off add note after call. From that point on, the ad doesn't show and you go back to the view contact screen instead. You still have to back out of the contact screen instead of the enter note screen but at least you don't see the ad anymore.
I had the after call ads with Drupe...I installed AdClear and poof! Awesome app...a must have for non-rooters!
My Solution(worked)
Culprit app was vault. Open vault app, go to settings and uncheck call reminder.
in my case a notepad app started to give ads. I saw its tiny icon in the top left corner of ads, uninstalled the app. It fixed the problem.
It is showing because of vault app
Thanks @ahemersquad its works.

Hello friends!
I need some ideas and help from your knowledge-full minds if you don't mind sharing some
My first one its a problem and it sounds like this:
I really need to see where this popup is located so I can disable it because its getting anoying. Everytime I send some big sms messages and I pass a number of sent mesagges/hour, this system popup appears and I have to dismiss it for every sms message.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Translation: SMS Bomber (the app i used to simulate my daily use of sms messages) sends a big number of sms messages. Do you allow this app to send messages?
And the radio buttons are "deny" and "allow"
I used every popup blocker/finder and i can't seem to find it. I manualy searched for it in system files, I took almost every .xml file one by one and searched for a clue but i can't seem to find it at all. I made a logcat but i can't seem to understand what that big amount of data is telling me. Does anyone have a clue about this kind of system popup and how to disable it?
EDIT: i found out what's causing it, and that is the 100 sms limit generic on any android smartphone, but in my smartphone its ducking 20 msg/hour. I tried all the ways, with 3-party apps, sql editor and manual adding but it still shows up. Any ideas?
EDIT 2: I fixed it. Looks like that on 4.2 you have to add the entry in the global db
The second one its not a problem, i just need some advice. I want to customize my stock rom to the max (there isn't a custom rom for my smartphone and I want to make it just like Android 5.0 with only root acces and stock recovery/rom) and i managed to modify the status bar with exposed, I took a launcher that was just like lolipop, i modified the ppi, I tweaked the guI with some xposed plugins but that is not enought because my popups, power menu and settings menu are the same. I read something about framework res but i am not sure about it and what does it do. Do you have any info that can help me? Maybe i will publish the rom for my smartphone after I tweak it a little bit if i manage to do it well.
The third one is a problem that bothers me from when i bought the phone. Whenever i plug in my smartphone a usb cable, my telephony signal dies. I can't receive/send any calls or sms messages in that time. What could it be?
The forth and the last one is about a thing that I want on my phone and i can't seem to find nothing. I want to wake/unlock my phone without using the power button (i have a 5" smartphone and the power button is located in the upper side) with a double tap or a gesture. I heard that i need kernel-level permisions and that i need a super-amoled or amoled screen (because of the black pixels that don't light up when they are black) but nexus 4 has "Touch control" app that lets it do the knock wake but it has IPS display like mine so i guess it is possible. Any ideas?
EDIT: managed to use Tap Tap App and it's ok
Sorry for the long post, here is the cat-tax and the potato-tax
And sorry for my english, it's not my first language

Hello everyone.
I released an App last week named "Notification History Log". With this app, you can view all your old notifications that you have dismissed accidentally. I'm receiving a good response for the app from the last couple of days and it also got featured on Android Police and Life Hacker.
Now, I'm planning to add more features to the app and I need your suggestions.
You can download the app from Play store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ikvaesolutions.notificationhistorylog&hl=en
Note: This app is NOT about just opening Android's default notification log. It has more to do.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Current features of the app
These are the features currently included in the app:
Advanced History: It uses "Notification Access" permission and stores all receiving notifications locally and they are used to show the old notifications.
Normal History: If the device supports Android's default notification log, it opens it else it asks to open Advanced History.
Notification Log Size: User can select the size of notification log to be stored.
Blacklist Applications: User can blacklist the apps they want to include in the notification log.
Swipe to delete: This enables users to delete individual notification if needed.
Clear All Notifications: This will permanently delete all stored notifications.
Search Notifications: You can search for any notification in Advanced History.
Open Advanced History by Default: Instead of opening home screen, it will open Advanced History everytime you open the application.
Hide Default Notification Log: This will hide the button that opens Android's default notification log.
Can you guys try the app and let me know if you find any bugs.
Suggestions are accepted with both hands.
You can read the complete release notes here of Notification History Log on my blog
Few screenshots from the app:
Thank you

Thank you
Let me know if you find any bugs in the app.
Hit me if i’m going wrong, but at my opinion this apk does a little less or exactly the same things like this app -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evanhe.nh do ! Why to hell do you spend a lot of your time, to develop the wheel again???
If i am wrong, i will delete this post immediately, promised!

Hi,
I don't think it is wrong to redevelop something with more features and far better UI.
The total downloads of the old app are 1000-5000 and my app already reached 120K+ downloads.
WhatsApp is already developed, but still, there are similar apps like Hike, WeChat Same applies here :fingers-crossed:
ok, thx 4 your statement.
(because your app is not able to record USSD messages, it is not interesting for me.)
btw: most of the comments on play store will have only one star. So, there seems to be a lot to do..
Anyway, i wish you "good luck" for the future of your development! I’m out now...
4.1 stars average, but hey, who's counting?

EDIT:
I just found out from someone in the realme X2 forum who's having the same problem that the reason you can't use split screen are 3rd party launchers. Oppo/realme software won't let you use split screen function when you've activated a launcher as your standard home app. This is f*cking ridiculous smh -.-
I've not used a button to do a split screen but I've just tested it and swiping three fingers up towards the top of the screen takes the current screen up towards the top of the screen and then I have to select another app and it goes on to split screen mode.
Have you tried that?
Ian
I've noticed it works but is locked at what it would seem 60hz
Same problem over here. Not available in current mode. Brand New install only using Nova launcher, but I've tried ColorOS launcher as well. Tried switching to 60Hz as someone suggests but no way to activate the split screen option.
---------- Post added at 09:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------
Correction I've tried again and indeed it works with ColorOS launcher. How stupid is that, this is basic Android functionality and should be implemented that way.
Work around for the moment is using a launcher switching app but of course that means you won't be able to use split screen on the fly.
I would suggest you to contact oppo customer support and request them to fix this issue.
I did, mentioning the ColorOS 7.2 development and Android 11 beta opportunities to fix that bug. I had to insist, but they finally answered they would forward the request to Devs.
I also talked about the third party music players not receiving media control commands, as there is no setting to choose the default music player.
Hopefully they will fix both issues
I wrote them.
Split screen and screen off audio controls for my 3rd party audio player are the biggest issues for me at the moment.
Got this response today :
Thank you for contacting OPPO.
We understand that you would like the split screen and the screen off gestures to control audio playback to be available using a third-party launcher.
Regarding your concern, please be advised that we are unable to guarantee that all OPPO built-in features will be compatible to all third-party launcher, thus we only advised customer to use the ColorOS launcher.
We will take this as feedback for future product enhancement.

Thanks for this suggestion... as I'm always looking to watch YouTube sans ads...
My daily drive Android 12 Galaxy A32-5G has YouTube disabled in favor of the FOSS NewPipe youtube client instead, but what I did on my spare J7 (Android Oreo 8.1.0) was download this app to test it out.
One observation is that there are a lot of apps found on the Google Play Store with similar sounding names as yours if you run the search (which I had to do on the phone as I only access XDA-Developers from a PC web browser).
First I installed ADS Skipper after determining which was yours.
Then, I pressed the red "START" button.
Then it said "STOPPED!" so I pressed the "START" button again.
Up popped an "Activate" screen which was instantly overshadowed by a "Sign up Today" screen for "HRC Fertility" (whatever that is).
At the top was a pullout to "Continue to app ADS Jump" which I pressed.
Then came the "Activate" screen that was overshadowed before.
Activate: You need to activate this application in accessibility, video ADS skip feature will work after activating" [sic]
Where the two options are: "NOT NOW" & "ALLOW ACCESS".
I pressed "ALLOW ACCESS" & then I turned it on for "ADS SKIPPER".
That brought me back to the "START" screen which itself was immediately overshadowed by an ad for Kinney Woodworks LLC (whatever that is).
But the slider to "Continue to app ADS Jump" was at top as before.
So I hit that.
Now I come to a super confusing screen with a bunch of confusing buttons, saying at top "STOPPED!" in pink, and then, in red "START", and then below that "Mute ads = off" in magenta, and then another "START" button which is overshadowed by an ad about "Gun Laws Have Changed"...
I turn the magenta Mute ads to ON and then the top of the screen has swirling rainbow-colored strings saying in green "RUNNING...".
There are no other instructions, so I guess I can now go to YouTube?
I am not sure what to do next so I just hit the back button a few times to get back to my Android homescreen.
Then I start YouTube.
Now what do I do?
So I used as app control to debloat my s23 plus. Everything works good no issues except for one I just found this morning
So I need help figuring this out. I think I might have removed something that works with camera pics and text aka: an app that is associated with camera.
I remember at one time in my rooting days if you deleted a file (I forget which one it was off hand) but if you deleted that app the camera stoped working.
This seems to be a similar thing.
When I highlight text on a picture I took, I go to the 3 dots and click save to clipboard, so I can paste it in a text file. Problem I'm having is paste doesn't work at all, it's like there is nothing saved to clipboard even though it says "saved to clipboard"
Again, my guess is it's an app associated with the camera app, and I deleted it and this is the adverse reaction to removing said app.
So anyone have any ideas what app would be attached to the camera app, aside from gallery of course. I'm at a loss as to what it can be.
You probably did more damage than just this.
There hundreds of small Samsung system apps that modify the UI for appearance... and functionality. Most use little resources and should be left alone. Target the power hogs and complete trashware like Digital Wellbeing.
A list of the disabled items would be helpful.

Well maybe I'm confused.
I've restored everything back except samsung browser. Don't ask, I'm just not a fan of it.
That given this is what I'm doing or trying to do:
I'm openin samsung gallery. I go to the picture I took. I hit the T with the box around it which is text. I hit the 3 dots at the bottom and click on copy to clipboard. When I go to my notes app and hit paste, nothing comes up. Is it possible that the text copy from pics feature is limited to only samsung apps, and not other apps? I'm lost as hell right now.
Ok I'm an old idiot LOL.......I simply highlighted the text and copied and pasted it, it works fine.
So i'm curious, what does the T with a square around it at the bottom right do exactly? I thought that was like covert to text
The Samsung browser with some add on ad blockers is great for vids.
Try clearing the system cache.
Use the Samsung Edge app for copy/paste.

I'm guessing bixby vision. Give the list of apps you've uninstalled so we can help you better.
Do you mean Smart Select with the spen?
That's this app. If disable it disappears from the spen menu. Verified on my N10+/Pie.
