    Possibly Google Play Services needs updating.
    (Which is done through the play store)

    If you hold the power key and press the power off icon it should give a safe mode option, you might be able to update easier this way

    I've had something similar on a Hudl 2 tablet. Google apps warning pop-up every few seconds

    On that, I went through menu Settings > Apps > All,  scrolled to Google Play Services, and deleted all the application data. This then rebuilt itself on update and the problem cleared. Advice to try this came from Google, not Tesco.

    I can't say this will fix it on a different device, but it might be worth considering or searching to see if there is similar advice floating around.
