    • That means you’re not doing it right. You have to press both at the same time with the same intensity. Perhaps one of those two buttons is not working well (probably the volume button) which makes only the power button work.

        • If you are sure it’s not a virus, then it must be an application running in the background. Go to Settings >> Applications >>Running and try stopping the running applications one by one to find the application that’s popping ads, then uninstall it
