How do I stop the "factoid add" from popping up on my Samsung Intensity III?
calvinshepherd3

I have a Samsung Intensity III and about every hour or so when I pick up my phone, I find that there is a "factoid" add as my lock screen.  It's supper annoying.  How can I go about disabling it?  Does it use data?

Is this the "Daily Scoop" app?  If it is, try these two things:

1 Launch Daily Scoop: Media Center  > Browse & Download menu > Daily Scoop icon.

2 In Daily Scoop: Menu > Options > Verizon Msgs > Off.

3 In Daily Scoop: Menu > Options > Bonus Msgs > Off.

I can see that becoming a bit pesky, calvinshepherd3. No worries! We'll figure out where these ads are coming from. Our friend SuzyQ had a great suggestion, since Daily Scoop is usually the most common source of messages like you've described. But if that doesn't do the trick, please go into your Media Center and take a look at the applications under each category. Do you have any games or apps installed? Did this start with the installation of one of those programs?
