[Q] Navbar Refuses to Hide on Lockscreen (WidgetLocker)

Hi,
I am currently using WidgetLocker as my default lockscreen and it is working well, stock lockscreen isn't showing at all etc., but one MAJOR drawback. I can't get the Navbar (softkeys?) to minimize on the lockscreen. Its probably just an easy fix and I'm somehow missing it, any ideas?

Have you disabled it in the settings? If I remember correctly, there's 2 places in the settings to do that.... which is weird.
Try:
Settings > Buttons & Gestures
Also try:
Settings > Look & Feel
As for the Nav bar/softkeys .... I dunno.
Good Luck.

I found a temporary fix. For some reason if you select allow home on the lock screen it minimizes on the lockscreen...
If you swipe up from the bottom though, you can go home without unlocking.

Because an app is obscuring a permission request... when trying to USB Debug Website

I have an unrooted/unchanged/stock Huawei P10 running EMUI 5.1 and am trying to debug a website I'm making. Latest Chrome on the P10 and latest Chrome on my Retina MacBook Pro 15'' (late 2013) High Sierra 10.13
The route worked on all my previous devices. USB Debugging is checked on, I plug in the cable and say yes to the prompt "Allow Access to device data?". Next prompt "Allow USB Debugging" -> OK gives me the following error: "An App is obscuring a permission request. Settings can't verify your response"
Looking for solutions I read stuff about background apps which mess up things. All I know of / remember installing is "Mi Band Tools", and "Pie Controls".
I tried to shut down "Mi Band Tools" via Settings -> Apps -> Mi Band Tools -> "Stop" – But it seems not to be stopped for long? Since I don't know if this would solve the problem anways, I figured to come here first. It would be great if I wouldn't have to uninstall these apps.. always a pain to restore etc.
Thank you very much!

*gentle push*, because the problem still remains

I had the same problem with my Huawei Honor View10.
I had to uncheck the "Permit drawing over other apps" for a (in my case) JINA Drawer. Maybe you have to uncheck an other one...
In EMUI 8 = Settings - Apps - Apps & notifications - Apps - Settings (bottom of screen) - Special access - Draw over other apps
Good luck!

Thank you for the tip! This got me on the right track <3
Holy Moly.. this setting is hidden as hell; on my P10 running EMUI 5.1 (german), the setting path was:
settings > apps > settings (corg button at the bottom left) > special access > draw over other apps > talkback
Thank youuu!

Yes! On my device Mate 1o Pro, it was Talkback as well that ¨obscured a permission request¨.

If you have a custom rom with Smart Pixels and it is turned on, it will do this also. Turn it off, retry,

I have an Honor 8 pro and I'm facing the same issue. I've disabled all apps which draw on the screen and restarted my phone too.

Fix #2 - if it works
i was messing with my Samsung Galaxy J7 Core J701F/DS and I was trying to figure out your problem also because i got the same problem as yours so the thing that worked for me is going to Settings (Nougat 7.0/1)> Apps> 3-dot menu/optionsl settings/other settings> Special Access> Apps that can be on top> Disable all apps like literally disable them all and try to debug your phone again...if it works, enable apps in that setting one by one and repeat debugging process. If it doesnt work, disable the last app you enabled, and if it works again...that is the app that is doing the dirty work...mine was not in the system apps it was one of my apps which is AZ Screen Recorder lol....(why the app that is being used everyday need to be disabled....)

1. Apps such as Blue light filter apps constantly appear on the top of your screen thus breaking some of the on screen functionalities. Try disabling display over other apps permission of such apps and you should be fine.
2. Also, sometimes it is because of your custom launcher, so try switching to your stock launcher if above solutions don't work.
3. If Accessibility for some apps are on then try disabling them first.
PS : Of all the 3 solutions try the possible ones.
Hope it helps.

This put me on the right track.
I have an LG G6 running Android 8.0. My Keeper Security app needs permission to Draw over other apps and since around December 2018 it has started acting 'flaky'. The app would warn me that I need to turn on this permission, but when I clicked "OK" in the Keeper app to take me to the Android setting for the app, it was always turned on. I could turn it ON/OFF, along with the setting that needed this permission in the Keeper app (called Keeper Fill) and eventually get it to work again, but it would always break again very soon after.
As I am getting ready to go on a trip, I installed Google's Datally app. It, too, wants me to turn on Draw over other apps, but when I tap "next" to be taken to the Android settings page to enable Draw over other apps, nothing happens (I usually expect an app detects it has been enabled and gives "success" message).
So I started disabling the 3 possible suspects listed by kapil1100. I had LG's Comfort View and some Accessibility options enabled, so I turned them off and: no change.
I disabled all other apps that have permission to Draw over other apps via: Settings > Apps & notifications > Special access > Draw over other apps, and: no change.
I use Evie launcher, so I went back to the stock one: no change.
I got thinking about what else could be modifying/accessing the screen and realized that LG has custom Home touch buttons.
I went to: Settings > Display > Home touch buttons > Hide Home touch buttons and DISABLED Show lock/hide icon and then tried enabling Draw over other apps for Datally and IT WORKED!.
I was then able to turn Show lock/hide icon back ON and everything has been working as expected. I suspect that, because I had Show lock/hide icon turned on during an upgrade, something got messed up and my turning it OFF and back ON fixed the issue.
I hope this helps someone!

No multitasking menu

Hi,
This is happening since the update to Android pie when I swipe to the left to reveal my multitasking menu nothing shows up even though I have apps '' running'' in the background.
Any ideas how to fix this?

I would use software buttons for a while and see if it works with key and if does then change it back

I've had this happen a few times and then get back to normal. Will keep an eye out but just seems like a little bug.
Have you tried clearing cache through recovery menu?

it can be triggered after you were using split screen function,
simply use any app which capable of doing "Restart System UI"
am using Quick Reboot app to do so (root needed)

Question Blurred out buttons.

Hello, i have been having issues with my phone..the buttons are blurred on apps and it seems like a software issue. What could be the problem? Do i need an update? , If yes im already updated to miui global 12.5.15 any thoughts would be highly appreciated.

If you mean the home, back and recent apps buttons then there's a bug with some roms. Probably best off using a new launcher until it's fixed. I don't see any blurry buttons in your screenshots.

Check the first screenshot on spotify.. the play button isnt seen, the second screen shot on the the topic button that consists of "yes" and "no" also doesnt show..the snapchat screenshot i supposed to show the names of the chats but its blank/ white.

Ok I got you now. Maybe you have a 3rd party app installed that is drawing over the ui, or some icon pack. I'm using the same rom as you and don't have that issue.

Go to Settings > Display > More Dark Mode Options then toggle off the Apps that behave abnormally. For apps that are light by default, just manually switch them to dark mode or select the "Follow System" option.

this worked like a charm, thanks!

power menu editor - add flashlight

is there an app that I could do this?
google asst is too slow turning flashlight on.

Try using "quick tap". You can turn it on and off by tapping the back of the phone twice.
Settings > system > gestures > quick tap > choose toggle flashlight
You just need to turn your screen on first, but it works on lock screen

unfortunately, I'm already using that to pause music, but maybe I'll have to change that.

AOSP Mods

Was hoping not to bother with the whole custom ROM with this phone.
But I'll read thru as it does look interesting. Thanks,

I just remembered an app I used to use on my Pixel 5 that would probably work for what you want. I'm not sure if it works on Android 13 or not, but it should. I'll think I'll reinstall it as well. Probably on my 7pro too
SideSqueeze+ - Apps on Google Play
Squeeze, press, gestures, fingerprints, vibrations, remap S Pen & much more!
play.google.com

thanks. I'll give a look

doesn't seem to work with A13.

Did you run the adb command? You can find it in "help" on the app

I did. Should I have restarted after?

I don't remember. Can't hurt

no joy. tried a few different methods. I'd say it no longer likes the P5 with A13.
