Question: screen overlay detected... How do I fix it?

Hi,

I am trying to use Waze on my phone, but the app won't open as it keeps saying screen overlay detected. I have gone into my settings and turned off the overlay for all the apps apart from the system apps. But it is still not working.

I have tried searching on Google, and don't have any of the apps installed like twilight, luxe or Facebook which are supposed to be causing the problem.

Any other suggestions on how to fix it?

Cheers

Disable the screen overlay warning

I'm tired of this useless overlay warning when giving permissions - every time i have to force quit two apps in order to set them and so on

There's a way with root or xposed to disable this useless warning?

"screen overlay detected" even when all are switched off

So, I've just updated to the latest Pure Nexus - did a wipe and clean install - and I'm trying to get my apps set up again, but I can't grant permissions through system settings. If an app actually pops up and requests a permission, I can allow it; but for some apps, this doesn't happen. Home Remote Control, for example, won't request the storage permission it needs to access my ssh key. So I go into settings->apps, find the app, tap permissions, try to enable the storage permission, and..."screen overlay detected". Except there is no screen overlay active. I have disabled every app's "draw over other apps" permission. I even found the "show system" option in the list and disabled all system apps' ability to draw over other apps. At this point, SYSTEMUI can't draw over anything else! And I'm still getting "screen overlay detected" when I try to change permissions. Any advice? Is there another way to manage permissions in Marshmallow (like maybe an xposed module)?

EDIT: Thought I should also mention, the issue persists in Safe Mode.

Note 4 Screen Overlay Detected

Dear all

(Note 4 unrooted, DBT, Stock 6.0.1)

I keep getting a Screen Overlay Detected message when trying to set permissions. I understand it is a common bug. But i cannot fix it despite trying the various methods described in YouTube, forums, etc. I have tried turning off all the apps that appear on top but that doesn't work.

Are there any step by step methods to fix this please?

Thanks in Advance

Screen overlay detected

After updating my Huawei Mate S to Android Marshmallow EMUI 4.0.1 (CRR-L09C432B361) I am having screen overlay issue. Sorry, I can't give screenshot. Gallery, facebook upload, Gmail etc. are not working properly. I am getting a message like this- "Screen overlay detected- To change this permission setting you first have to turn off the screen overlay from Settings > Apps". When I click on Settings tab, it takes me to a settings section named "Draw over other apps". When I click on the relevant app, I find some of their permissions denied, which I can't turn on. I did some googling and found some other related posts mostly indicating to disable some kind of screen filtering apps or clean master which I don't have. Tried resetting, then wiping cache data, didn't fix. Tried disabling developer options, didn't work. Can anyone help to solve this issue.

Screen Overlay woes

I'm using Yahoo Mail for my Yahoo account but each time I try to allow Yahoo Mail to access my contacts, I get the following error message:

Screen overlay detected.
To change this permission setting, you first have to turn off the screen overlay from Settings > Apps. I did just that in the Settings > Apps screen but it keeps re-enabling itself! Is this a bug or what? I can't change any of my permission settings for any of my other apps either.

Dark wallpaper overlay & notification volume

Hello everyone !

I recently acquired a honor 5X and updated it to Marshmallow today. Everything was and is great, as expected. However, I have two little complains:
The first one, that already existed in Lollipop, is the notification volume issue. When I select a notification tone, the volume is normal, but when i actually receive a real notification, the volume is way to hard (it is like le notification volume is always several steps further than the ringtone one). I already tried one or two 3rd party apps in order to manually lower this volume but it didn't work and it is quite annoying.
The second one appeared with the Marshmallow update and is quite simple: whenever i set a wallpaper, it is dimmed like it would be on some lockscreen. At first I thought it was Nova Launcher, but even on Huawei Home, same issue.


I am looking forward to a solution. Anyway, this phone is amazing, especially when you realise how cheap it is.
Thanks !

Screen overlay errors

Hi, Oneplus 3 with 3.1.2 stock OS. Whenever an app tries to set permissions such as at install I get the dialog Screen Overlay Detected and have to go to settings, turn off overlay for network monitor pro, then try again. After that I have to switch network monitor pro overlay back on so I can see the download speeds.

Is this expected? Coming from a Nexus 5 I have never seen this before, if it isn't normal can anyone suggest a remedy? Thanks
