Hello, I'm having issues with my N6 after the Marshmallow But I am facing a problem that for each application, I am getting screen overlay detected. If I follow on screen instructions, in settings, I can't change permission. i cannot upload any images from my phone to facebook,instagram basically any app trying to access the drive on my phone. can you guys help solve this issue.
thanks,
A quick Google search for "screen overlay detected" found a lot of results indicating this is due to screen filtering apps that modify the screen brightness, such as Lux, Bluelight Filter, Twilight, etc.

Yes, they also prevent you granting root access to apps too. Lux is the most common. These apps put an overlay over the UI. Android protection prevents you pressing "serious" buttons in case it is the overlay working to malicious intents.

I'm curious if you were able to resolve this issue and if it was resolved with what I found about the issue.

okay. I have called google support for five nights and not one tech support person was able to help me. After countless hours of fiddling i figured out how to fix this problem. Put your phone in safe mode (press the power off button and press on the on screen power off icon until it asks if you want to go in safe mode. Press okay) then once it reboots, go to settings, then apps, click on the facebook app or whatever app you have the problem with, press permissions and then turn on all the permissions (toggle to the right and it should turn green). Repeat for whichever other apps have this problem then turn reboot the phone and voila! It's fixed. :d

I was thinking going back to Lollipop, then you saved my days. This "Screen overlay detected" was driving me nuts as I have tons of apps that requires "Draw over other apps" such as Sidebar Launcher, SuperSU, Widgetsoid, Rotation Manager... almost 30 apps. So every time I install new app I virtually have to turn off the "Draw over other apps" for all these 30 then set the permissions then turn them on again. It's so frustrating. And if I stupidly reset permissions for all apps then virtually most are unusable. Now with Safemode I can grant an app all the permissions it requires without turn the "Draw over other apps" off.

Best solution out there. Tnx.
@jokeinc I don't have twilight, lux, or any CM apps. Your solution is the only solution to have worked for me. Thank you so much!
I have a Samsung galaxy s6 and it didn't work for me, i have tried everythings but the only way is go into ultra power safe mode and from here i was able to activate permissions for whatsapp. For activate the other apps i don't know what to do.
Sorry for my bad english but i'm desperate??
@Zack909: Desperate and in the wrong forum. This is the Nexus 6 forums. You'll need to ask your questions in the Galaxy S6 forums, as your device has Touchwiz, which our devices don't run.

Thanks but i solved the problemi. I just unistalled CM Locker
It's good you solved your problem. You shouldn't be running anything from Cheetah Mobile, as every single app they produce is pretty much junk.
Grrr
Omni swipe program can also cause this disable it or uninstall
For me it's just SwipePad that I use which has an always on overlay. If you know what apps are overlaying I've found a workaround you can setup. Ideally an app shouldn't have an invisible overlay permanently hogging resources so you should find and disable them permanently if they're unwanted anyway. An app like Elixir with it's "running" processes/services filtered to User can help finding the culprit.
So I use a workaround to quickly disable an overlay for permission toggling. A "Task Shortcut" that uses the Tasker Greenify plugin (don't know if pro is required) to Hibernate the overlay app/s, Wait for a configured time and then Wake. Note that the wake process takes five seconds to finish.
I open my shortcut from SwipePad itself for it to disable for ten seconds while I click away at permissions to my hearts content. When the time is up it resumes working normally and all is well :highfive:

I don't understand what you're doing. Your link is to a Task Manager Shortcut for Galaxy S3. I can see how Tasker could be used, but I don't understand how this app would be involved.

Oops, my bad. I'll fix my post. The app is AutoShortcut.

This is because of the apps that are using "draw over other apps" feature. You can just turn them off from settings. If you want a head up on how to do this, you can go to this link here. Fix screen overlay detected

i'm ready to put my phone in the garbage disposal over this error. i can't get rid of it and can't even download a simple APK file from chrome without getting it. I've done everything suggested in every youtube video and what you said above.
i turn off screen overlay for every app shown, which is about 30 and i have none of the so called problem apps installed.
i go into safe mode and try to turn on a permission and I STILL GET THE SCREEN OVERLAY ERROR. i have no idea what to do or what is wrong.
My phone is rooted and installed twrp.
I have problem, accessibility services keep turning off. I enabled greenify in accessibility but after couple minutes is turn to off.
Its happening whit all installed apk like dashlane, nova launcher, greenify.
What the f*ck turn my services off?
Same thing is happening to me. Any idea how fix it?
Same happening to me
At first try to add these apps to all possible whitelists of Huawei power management apps. It should not be cleaned by RAM manager and should be left not closed when screen is off. It helped here.

I put greenify in protected app and for now is ON in accessibility. Last 2 day working ok.

Yet another EMUI "feature". Hating when it happens to me as well, though I do have mixed luck with whitelisting the apk in question (where ever you can - why the hell do we have both the battery keep-running-with-screen-off feature, and the "ignore optimizations" crap? And what does this even do?).

Same here with Roboform password manager on Mate 9 with EMUI 5.0 . All system settings give it permission and exemption from optimization. But accessibility is turned off after a very short time of the phone screen being off. There has to be something strange going on.

Strange this has not been fixed.
IMHO Huawei or EMUI should let us manage the system whitelisted apps..
It is obvious that the phone administrator is not enough to ensure we can leave opened on background 100% sure some apps... My telegram app from time to time also appears stopped.. Mmmm "strange" but easy to solve for huawei's developers if they were interested in
So strange^2

Actually I have found that it is a feature not a fault. I rang up Huawei to ask for help.
What you need to do is go into Settings (swipe down from top, then cog wheel) > Battery > Close apps after screen lock
Then scroll down to your 'problem' app, and switch to off.
You might be surprised at the apps that have managed to get themselves set to off. I certainly was.

Even having setup properly battery optimisation to be ommited, keep open when close and whitelist on clean up sometimes telegram gets close... We all (or most of us) know.about that options to be setup but Huawei maintains a "hidden" apps whitelist like Google apps that are permitted to be run on background ... We know is not a big and we want to have full control of which apps.to permit 100% of time not decided by Emui. That's the point.

Allow unlimited data access, whitelist from battery saving, and allow to run in background.
Allow the app to ignore battery optimization too

I've tried all the suggestions here and still have trouble. I'd leave my phone for an hour or so, turn the screen on and a whole bunch of notifications come pouring in from WhatsApp, Gmail, Messenger etc.
My settings are:
1. Apps -> Apps -> Special Access -> Battery Optimisation -> Not Optimised (for all my email and messaging apps)
2. Battery -> App Launch -> Manage Manually (for all my email and messaging apps)
3. Wireless & Networks -> Data Usage -> Data Saver -> Off
Is there anything else I need to do? This is a serious problem for me and quite frankly, I need to get a new phone if this keeps happening.

Thanks for your help, I've discovered the issue now. I don't remember if someone mentioned this earlier and I'm not sure how I missed it, but the issue wasn't the apps closing when the phone went to sleep (since I did everything to make sure they didn't close), the problem was that the phone would switch off LTE and/or Wifi when the screen is off. The setting that controls this is in: Settings - Battery - More Battery Settings - Stay connected when device sleeps. Make sure this is turned on (it was turned off for me before).
I feel almost certain this was turned on in the past and feel it was only turned off in one of the firmware updates. I most certainly would never have turned that off. I can't believe they would use that as a default option since I can imagine only the most battery conscious users would want that off. They should at least have an option where the phone would automatically turn data back on periodically to check for notifications. I know there are third-party apps that do this but if they're going to include an option like that built-in, they should do it properly.
Anyway, problem solved, hope this helped someone else out there.
I have the same issue, but Stay Connected is on, and has been for as long as I've had the problem (2-3 days). No new apps, no new updates, affects all my apps. Driving me nuts. Anything else than doing a full wipe left to try?
same here, till yesterday everything was working fine, i didn't install a new app, configuration of battery settings, data background running is the same, also app locked in recent to run backround as before. update i did before 3 weeks. very strange
I'm very sure this problem occur since the newer software update, my device have same issue.
You can check how to remove PowerGenie (the huawei stock battery management), removing PowerGenie 'might' help you fix it.
I called Huawei and asked, and got a fix! It's not a huge lump of fun, but this is it:
Settings - System - Reset - Reset all settings
Note: all your stuff is still there after reset. Only thing that happens is that it forgets your wlans, your fingerprints, face recognition, lock screen pass/pattern, and all kinds of logins and permissions on your apps. And your apps will jump out of folders and make a hell of a mess. But it worked splendidly for me, notifications are popping up as they should, when they should. Gave me a nice chance to re-arrange my apps even.
Happy thoughts to Huawei (Norway) for having customer service available on the phone, on a regular number, and answering within a few seconds.

I just did it today and it was a complete lost of time. In addition of losing all settings (bluetooth, Wifi, applications and folder on launcher,...) it was not helping with notifications: no Outlook, no WhatApps, no banking app... In other word, nothing, it was worse than before.
I will continue to test settings like controlling launching applications and exclude applications from battery optimization.

Is it just push notifications you're not getting or are messages not coming through at all until device unlocked/app opened? I've been trying all sorts, searched "data" in settings and stumbled upon "unrestricted data access" all apps are disabled on this. Hoping next few hours will show that's me sorted finally.

Hi guys,
I finally found a way to prevent the system form closing applications that I want to keep in background.
First, what most where suggesting is this:
Settings -> Battery -> App Launch -> Turn off "manage automatically" and allow the apps you want to to "auto-launch", "secondary launch" and "run in background"
This is a first step and some users reported it also helped with idle battery drain, however it did not help and system was still closing MX player like crazy if I paused whatever I was playing for a few seconds, so here is the important step for apps you want to keep in background:
Settings -> Apps -> Apps -> three dots on upper right corner -> special access -> battery optimization -> change dropdown menu to "all apps" -> change apps you want to keep in background to "don't allow, may drain battery more quickly"
That's it!

I restart every morning after a charge because there must be memory leaks. After a day of no restarting it holds at most 2 apps in memory of that.
Also switching to fixed resolution helped a lot for me. There's deffo a bug there.

Same for me. Seems to do it more when using night mode. Killed Audible multiple times taking night shots yesterday evening. ?
Also there is a memory leak as the time goes on, my device didn't slow down, but i had stutters while playing games.
Phone needs seriously more polish, specifically the camera that closes down a lot of apps, doesn't feel like 6gb.

Hope this is a Typo.
The feature "Ignore Battery Optimisation" is there to allow you to exclude certain apps you want to keep running in the background from being closed by the battery optimisation feature. You do this by adding an app to the "Allow" list, (hence the, "Not recommended, may drain your battery more quickly), and NOT the opposite.
I know you're trying to be helpful but mistakes like this can cause more confusion.

I think the setting he's referring to is to turn off the notification warning of battery drain which won't help an app stay alive in the background but at least you don't get a notification that you are going to ignore anyway.
Anyone have any ideas as to what I need to stop from being managed automatically in order to keep the clock and battery tiles from being stopped every time the screen is locked?
I've been looking for this for ages! It works! Cheers buddy. You're a legend.

Hi all,
I have a Note 9, specifically SM-N960F (HW MP 0.700), its an Exynos I bought in Australia.
Samsung doesn't seem to have community forums in Australia, and the US one needs one to use an American ZIP code to sign up.
After my upgrade to OneUI, there may have been a few notification issues in the beginning, but later they've become worse. Quite a few apps don't notify, this issue is especially with G-Tasks, an app for reminders and lists. I don't actually remember Gmail working for a long time either, I have to manually open it to check for emails.
Even if I open the G-Tasks app a few mins before a reminder is supposed to be triggered, it won't happen. In developer settings, at the bottom there is a heading called "standby apps", where is seems is the only way to set apps to "active" so they don't automatically get put to sleep.
There doesn't seem to be any list or setting in the battery section in maintenance to select apps that never get put to sleep.
I've seen this link, but it doesn't seem to change anything:
https://www.theandroidsoul.com/one-ui-notifications-problems-and-fixes/
So, most other notifications work, but Gmail, G-Tasks and likely a few others don't. I've set both of these apps to "Active" in the standby apps section in developer options and also checked their own notification settings, disabled, then enabled their notifications, and nothing changed.
Any advice?
Thanks
Have you also confirmed that they are not enabled in 'Sleeping Apps' and 'Optimize battery usage'? Yes, OneUI did mess up with battery settings organization so here's how to navigate to each of these:
Sleeping Apps: Settings > Device Care > Battery > Settings on TDM in top right > Sleeping Apps. You can also play with other settings here.
Optimize Battery Usage: Settings > Apps > Special access on TDM in top right > Optimize battery usage.
PS: TDM is acronym for 'Three-dotted menu'.

Hi Paras,
Thanks for your advice, I've had a look and only Maps was set as a sleeping app. I've always have power mode set as medium and have just set it to optimising to see if that helps anything. It previously didn't affect my important notifications.

With medium power saving, is 'Restrict Background Data' ticked in your case? That will cause apps to only download data (and thus, notification) when they run in foreground. Each app can also be restricted or whitelisted to download data in background.

Hi Paras, yes, good point, I tried it by unticking the apps using wifi and mobile data in the background so that it only had "Limit CPU speed" ticked, and reduce brightness by 10%, and screen resolution to FHD+.
Gtasks still didn't trigger, I've put the power saving to optimised again and thats only when it works.

Reset the app preferences. Keep the app whitelisting or blacklisting as default. And then enable medium power saving without restricting data. You never know which service is responsible for fetching notifications.

Hi Paras,
Yes, I've also questioned which system service handles notifications and if there are settings or configs related to it.
For resetting app preferences, to you mean the individual apps and seeing if there is a button to set everything back to defaults? Are you referring to deleting cache? I've deleted cached for both Gmail and Gtasks apps a couple of days ago and it didn't seem to make a difference.
For black and whitelisting, are you talking about sleeping and disabled apps in the battery settings?
In developer settings, at the bottom there is the standby apps section and I've put Gmail as "working_set" as that seems to be what many other apps are.

- There are different services for showing notifications for different apps. For GApps, find anything related to Google.
- Find Reset App Preferences option on menu in 'Apps'.
- Apart from battery settings, Apps > Special Permissions > Optimize Battery Usage.

Hi Paras,
Thanks a lot for your advice, I've tried this for a couple of days now and it seems to work, I think the likely issue was to select certain apps and disable "optimisation" in the apps section.
Man, I only went into Apps to check permissions and maybe "Force Stop", I had no idea they'd bundled extra settings, including power management, crazy, they should have this in the battery settings.
Loads of other people must be having issues with certain apps, its important for people to easily isolate their important apps when they don't work, so Android just lets them run as normal, even under battery savings.
Thanks, you've helped me solve my problem.

Yes, I agree, these settings are hard to find and that's what made me initiate this guide. Glad that I was able to help.

Thanks very much, will look through it, I may even write to Samsung about it for them to make it easier, especially for battery management.
Fisher
I emailed Samsung Australia,
They replied saying they've forwarded my advice to the main office.
I linked in this thread in my email to them, hopefully they'll see your guide Paras.
I was shocked to learn how complicated these settings have become, thanks a lot.
It was very weird how after searching, I never came across it on the net.
I'll mention if Samsung contacts me again over this, hopefully a simple move or addition of the battery optimised app list from the Apps section in the main settings list to the battery settings in General Maintenance will happen to put all battery management related items in one place.
Fisher
Thank you for the support, man. Wish you a great experience with your beast!
