Random Power Pop Up

[Ptmcweb]

Does anyone get a power pop up on the S9+

It puts a 'skin' on the home and or lock screen and is very annoying as at times it prevents some general use.

It does not appear to be part of device care....

Cannot seem to disable

Input please

It's an ad pop up from a recently installed app. Uninstall a recent app one by one and check

It's not appearing from a recent app install as went through that ....

And also does not have a tap option that goes anywhere to an app

Install an ad blocker from the play store such as Adguard. Eliminates all ads such as this one

Sadly that too has not been successful, block-this and dns66 have thus far been unsuccessful

yep definitely came from an app you installed as @Dannydet said..... you will need to go one by one and delete any recent apps until you find the sucker.

There used to be a permission for apps to "draw over other apps"'. If you can find the list of apps that have that permission, it will narrow down the possibilities. but I just looked around in app permissions and couldn't find that permission any more. I'm not sure if it went away or I just don't know how to find it.

Found it!

settings...apps...three dot overflow menu....special access....appear on top.

that small list of apps should include your culprit. further narrow it down by only looking for the ones that have the permission enabled. look for anything new or suspicious.

Looking at the screen cap you posted, in the event it's not actually a pop-up ad but rather just an actual part of some app you've installed, did you install any kind of third-party battery or power management app?

Peel Smart Remote?

Great question, and no is the answer, have uninstalled all recent apps without resolving this issue.
The only management app per se is Samsung Device Care and I have even tried disabling that.

Peel Smart Remote?

That's a great suggestion, I have used that on previous devices just not this one.
