It was developed and launched by Playrix in 2017 as a successor to their 2016 match-3 game, Gardenscapes. Homescapes is a casual free-to-play puzzle game. Maybe the makers of UMX will find this forum and correct the Gallery issue.App icon, featuring the protagonist of the game, Austin, with his catĪndroid, iOS, iPadOS, Microsoft Windows, macOS I will share my story on the other androidforum about the UMX U673C problem. This is a record for my phone because they had been popping up every five ten minutes the data is left on before taking your advice. I have not gotten an ad or a green install for the past hour. I have taken away that permission and disabled this "system" app.Ī web search of ad_surface brought me here. Ad_surface had a permission to draw over other apps. One time I turned off the data and a dialog box popped up instead of ads that said. But the app gave me no advice how to remove it. Stubborn Trojan Killer found a package called through. Factory reset twice and both popped up before I could even open google play. Ads and that greeninstall popping up seconds after first starting the phone straight out of the box. I am including a couple of screenshots of the app. I am really shocked that searching for ad_surface yields no results. I can't find it anywhere that I am able to delete it, so disable is all I can do now and I would like to know if anyone can tell me more about this and how to get rid of it for good (and where it came from!). I can also find it under Settings> Apps> Touch the 3 vertical dots> Show System and there it is. When I touch the app, the "APP SETTINGS" button is grayed out and useless.

There is no app listed that is obvious, no apps with obvious permissions, either.īut FINALLY I just found what is probably the culprit, by viewing Settings> Data Usage and there it was, ad_surface with almost 600mb of data this month and I don't browse or do much with my phone, mostly text and use for calls when I am out. Often, the X's to close the ad still download some app or game? You can't back out of the ad or pull up home, it just blocks access to everything until you X it out? I think I may be onto something, as I am having the same issue and I deleted the couple of apps I had downloaded to no avail.ĭoes the ad cover your screen when you go to answer a call or check a text? NOT in a browser?
