Raragon, pop  ups are no fun, I don't like them either. Let's get to the bottom of this. Though you mentioned that you only downloaded apps you use all the time, but one of them may have had an update and now pop ups are included. Let's put your phone in safe mode to see. Please follow these steps and monitor the device: http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-180845/

Raragon-


I know how frustrating pop up messages can be. Let's make sure this issue gets resolved so you can enjoy your phone as it should. Does this happen when you access a website in particular or an application? Have you recently downloaded a new application or a new software update before this issue began?

It doesn't matter what I do. I can unlock my phone or click on the Verizon

SMS app to text and I will get pop ups. I had my phone replaced recently

and only downloaded apps I use all the time. Things were fine for one week

then I started getting them. I have taken screen shots of the ones I've

received that I can send.
