Pop up Ad on Homescreen - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

This pop up ad has appeared on my home screen twice. I have checked recent app downloads for anything suspicious, and have not found anything. Both times I rebooted my phone and it went away. Has anyone seen this type of pop up before?

Air push detector!

I can't get the picture to upload. It's a gift wrapped box hanging on a rope on the top left of my screen. I'll try to get the picture up.

Help! Something wrong when I boot up my phone!

Guys,
I like to check with you all whether any solution for the below problem :
Every time I boot up my phone, it will display the messaging menu on the background and I cannot view the HTC Sense main screen till I press any button.
Please see below photo of the problem :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Mine does exactly the same thing.
mine does the same thing too, it seems to be that messaging tries to open up on top of it, if you see on your screenshot, it says messaging at the top instead of start. Seems to be an issue with windows mobile i think as i had the same thing happen on my touch pro with a custom rom. it happens to me when i use the phone too, for example if i'm watching a video in full screen that messaging thing appears over it and exits full screen playback, doesnt happen all the time but enough to become annoying
Try booting the phone without the memory card inserted. Maybe it's corrupt.
I get this too. Tried searching for a fix but couldn't find one so good to see a thread started here about it.
Touching the screen will also take you to the main screen.
Weird. I get the "Launching HTC Sense" sometimes, but never the Messaging thing instead of Start.
It only happens on mine if the phone has been switched off for a while, for example over night, if I just switch the phone off and back on again it goes straight to the main screen.

Digitizer Drawing Test

Has anyone thought to download the drawing program from motolabs and check to see how well the X10s screen performs? They did a test on the Nexus, Droid, iPhone and others and it was published a few weeks ago. If those that have the phone could try this, I would be interested to see the results.
have you got a link or do you know what it is called on the market? just checked for digitizer and motolabs but couldnt find anything..

I don't think there is an app, they just used whatever note taking app was available for each OS as far as I understand it.

Thats the link to the test page. The drawing apps used are listed and SimplyDraw was used for the Nexus and iPhone. I would try that app and see what kind of results you get.
@awtryau89 cheers for the web address!
doing the test as they did, but with an app called Draw(er), this is what i got...

the screen seems to perform better when the lines went diagonally down from the right, than diagonally down from the left. also, the far left and right hand sides of the screen don't seem to pick up any input for the last few mms - the left side being the worst.
if anyone else cares to try and see if they get better results, please post it, as it would be nice to see this verified on another x10.

Mysterious "Free Music" Icon/Shortcut on Desktop

Anyone else have a similar occurrence in the last day or so?
Shortcut with Old iTunes Logo, Labeled "Free Music" on homescreen.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23423358
Running ICS port of CM9
Obviously, if you click it you will cause the Phone to explode.

Exactly, but where did this "explosive" button come from?
I did not knowingly install any free music apps with an old iTunes logo for an icon.
Did anyone else get this shortcut added without their knowledge?
It was most likely placed there by one or another crap app you've installed.

Sounds like you installed, maybe unknowingly, an app using "Air Installs".
You should get an "air push detect" app from the market, that should detect these things.

Thanks. It Found my "Pin to Pintrest" App as the only app that does that.
I've removed it now. Thank you!

Seems like a software bug to me. It didn't affect the notification area and the nav.
Probably sothing to do with the video controler?
Really weird

Try a factory reset and see if that solves it. You already have an RMA on the way so you might as well test different possible solutions.
You see looking at the picture, I thought it didn't affect those areas too... but I swore it did. I think it was just more visible on the drop down area. Of course I cannot remember now since it is gone...

Dialer/Contacts issue

I'm suddenly having an issue with my latest/frequent contacts not showing when long pressing dialer using "3D touch". It started after briefly adding and removing an old Google account. Now nothing shows except the "add contact" option. I've tried everything I can think of including full wipe to get it back but still nothing. Hoping someone has an idea. My OCD is killing me
