Accessibility services not working - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

For some reason when I tap on ok, nothing happens???

Same problem here on my VzW S6 (non-edge). It's infuriating. I've tried tapping everywhere in the box.

Problem solved! My issue was Lux. Once I disabled Lux, I was able to turn accessibility on. It seems to me that I had a similar problem with Lux a couple of phones back, I don't know why it took me so long to figure this one out!

Sorry, I know this is an old thread but I have this same problem with my Note 4.
I don't have Lux or any other screen modification software.
Really struggling to find out what service / app is causing this Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Finally got rid of the stupid SOD

Hey Guys,
Doing a gazillion of trials to get rid of the SOD, i have finally found something that is working for me now for over than 2 weeks without a single hickup,, i used to get SODs 3 times a day or maybe more
Anyway to cut it short,, i just disabled the "Automatically adjust backlight" setting in the sounds and display menu.
i was really starting to hate my TP2 but not anymore
I dunno if the solution will work with anyone else but for me that did the trick and i just thought of sharing that.
Congrats on your success. Unfortunately, though, the SOD appears to be caused by many different factors for many different people. Your fix may work for some but not for others. The backlight had zero bearing when fixing my SOD issues. Good luck to anyone else though!

You may be on to something here. I agree with Scooter that it may not work for all people, but I have read about these things constantly over the past few months, and I have NEVER had a SOD, but then again, I've NEVER left my "Automatically adjust back-light" box checked either. I always get in there after a new flash and uncheck it the first time it dims down and way sooner and darker than I want it to. Anyway, I hope this is the answer for many people.

where is "sounds and display menu"? do you mean Settings>System>Power>Backlight>Automatically adjust backlight?
pls specify.
Go to the Settings Manilla tab and it is he 3rd one down.
I have had 1.1 installed since it came out and have only had one SOD, which was yesterday. My device flashed with Automatic off

screen turns off after 1 sec when it's being turned on

Hi, I have this problem when i turn on the screen it turns off, tho only the "screen" the buttons still light up and i can feel the vibration when i use the screen. I have tried different roms and still this problem. Sometimes i manage to get it to work and don't have these probs, But i really don't know what it is Thanks in advance!
P.S some roms have this problem for me and some don't so i don't think it's a hardware problem.

Hi there,
funnily I just had this issue yesterday, but I also know it from the past. After some time I found the cause (at least in my case):
the Lightflow-App
You don't happen to have it installed as well? As soon as I uninstalled LightFlow, things went back to normal for me. It started for me after I did some customizing in LightFlow, so it was logic to start with uninstalling that.
I suspect it has something to do with how it is setup or notifications in general. Maybe you have another Notification-App installed?
Let me know if this helped...

Hi, thanks uninstalled lightflow and it stoped, have been force to change roms i just installed becuase i thought this was some problem from the rom.
thanks again

Accessibility Services stay Off after turning them on

I just got my s5. installed my apps and noticed lightflow was not working like i set it to. I began troubleshooting and found my accessibility services stay off even after setting them to ON. Sometimes they show 'on' but when i click on them, the slider is always 'off'. It allows me to slide it on, but as soon as i go exit and go back in, off again. I tried searching and am not seeing anything similar. I updated to ng3 and it did not resolve the issue. I just rooted and it did not solve the issue. Can anyone help me? thank you.
I have exactly the same problem on my sm-g900h. Every app that uses an accessibility service gets it's services turned off after i turn them on.. Some of the services stay on but most of them just turn themselves off right after leaving the accessibility options..
This thread has been on for a while and I really hope someone can help us with it. My phone is rooted, and i can send any further info to anyone that needs it. Thanks a lot for reading this post.
I have a s7 now and this issue still persists. This phone is not rooted hence I can't seem to understand what causes it. I'm not even sure how to troubleshoot the problem. Any insight is gladly appreciated.

WiFi keeps turning on and off on its own

I don't know what might have happened, but this morning, I tried to connect my Phone to WiFi, and for some reason, it wouldn't. The WiFi toggle button that you see when you pull down the Notification Bar, now that WiFi button keeps turning on and off constantly. The time it takes between each toggle (on to off or off to on) is just about 0.5 - 1 sec. This is crazy. I can't connect to my WiFi.
I googled for solutions, no luck. I hard reset my Phone, no luck still. I wiped Partition Cache too. I entered into the Safe Mode, the same behavior happened. It's weird. It's like my Phone is possessed or something. A virus maybe?
Any input would be much appreciated. My phone is running the latest Firmware from T-mobile. And I got the update maybe 1-2 weeks ago and it had been working fine until this morning the issue started.
My phone just started doing this as well. Wifi keeps turning off and on. If I want to keep it off I have to restart my phone. If I want to use the wifi I have to manually toggle it from the wifi settings. Just weird it started doing this just recently. Maybe an app we both have installed?
I think I've found the issue. Sadly only after 3x reformatting the phone.
Go to Settings, Location, then click on Improve Accuracy, then turn off WiFi and Bluetooth Scanning (actually just the WiFi scanning would do the trick, but I decided to just turn off both of them). I suspect an update to one of Google system apps might have caused the phone's WiFi to behave weirdly like this. For the past 2-3 years I've had this phone, it had been fine with these two options turned on. It changed yesterday.
Let me know if this solution works for you.

Haha I was about to post this solution as well! Turning off the wifi in location accuracy fixed it. You're right about probably some Google app is causing this as this hadn't happened before yesterday. Sorry you had to format your phone to find this out...hopefully google or samsung can fix this from their end.
Thanks for this! Working for me (I'm on Tekxodus URv7.4R2 N5R9 with Emotion Kernel (r23).
Was driving me nuts. I'm a bit concerned about the loss of wifi for location accuracy though since my phone's GPS has been borked ever since i can remember.
Update: I noticed a recent review on the Play Store for Android Wear referring to a recent Wear update possibly causing the issue. I have Wear installed for a watch. Just curious if anyone experiencing this problem does NOT have Wear installed?

I just uninstalled wear and same issue persist. Last app from Google that I did an update on was Google home...formally known as chromecast.
---------- Post added at 10:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------
I just uninstalled Google home and the issue went away.
I do have Google Home and Android Wear installed as well. I checked the Google Home App Play Store Page and someone commented there pointing out about the issue too.

i have had exactly the same problem for a day or two. while disabling "location>improve accuracy>wifi scanning" stops the bug temporarily it doesn't really solve the problem. wifi scanning is an important location feature when navigating. in narrow streets or in buildings one usually does not have gps reception, also the wifi scanning technique for determining the devices location is usually faster and uses less battery than gps (how ironic).
this bug is extremely annoying. i am on an unbranded, unrooted s5 on 6.0.1 (g900f). i can not believe that this also happens with s7 and pixel phones, this is really ridiculous (see similar thread on androidcentral forum. can't post url because this is my first post). if anyone finds a permanent solution for this problem, please tell us!!!

Do you have Google Home installed? After I uninstalled that the wifi issue stopped

Is it your GPS or the Compass? If it can still detect your location but when you use, for example, the Google Maps Navigation, it couldn't really detect where/which direction you're going then it's probably just a compass issue. All you need is some calibration.
I fixed my friend's phone compass issue (and she thought her GPS was broken too) last week. The easiest way to calibrate: just download the GPS Status app and tap on the Calibration option and follow the instruction there.
Always try to calibrate your compass first as the first possible fix whenever you think your GPS is starting to go crazy, it might help.
Go to location>improve location>unchecked wifi scanning. It just worked for me
Uninstalling android wear seems to have worked for me.

Definitely not the compass, been through the calibration process. Attempted many fixes including special GPS settings and utilities. At times the phone can sit there with screen on for over 10 minutes without acquiring a single satellite. I'm thinking hardware issue, possibly contacts for the antenna. In any case, not relevant to this thread...
I rebooted into recovery and wiped both CACHE and this fixed the issue. I did not change any settings in any apps either.

I had tried this prior to reformatting my phone and it didn't help. I then wiped the cache again and reformatted the phone; in fact I reformatted and cleared cache 3x because the issue kept coming back after I reinstalled apps again. This is weird, the situation and resolution vary a lot from one user to another. Then I simply turned off WiFi Scanning under Improve Accuracy in Location, and the issue went away.
WHEW! Uninstalling Wear and Home did it for me. For now, anyway. I "fixed" it this morning by toggling Ultra Power Saver on and off, and it worked all day until I came home from work. Then nothing helped until I found this thread. Changing GPS settings didn't do it for me, but I'm still on Lollipop so my location settings are a little different.
Thank you, Febzz and Alan!
Google home was the issue!!

Changes in router's Wireless Security had caused it in my case
This is old thread but still I am posting this solution as it could be useful tip for someone in future.
I had this issue and was causing me real headache. I initially thought it was hardware failure of my phone but later I found reason is something else.
For some reason I had changed Wireless Security of my WiFi router from WPA2 Personal to something else (I guess WEP).
That was causing my phone (intex cloud 4g) often to turn on and off WiFi on its own. I changed the Wireless Security back to WPA2 Personal and phone is now back to normal (not turning WiFi on and off on its own)

Audio stops when screen sleeps

I have a Moto G6, Android 8.1, rooted, and I'm having an annoying issue I haven't been able to Google the solution to. When my screen goes to sleep the audio stops almost right away. This is true for both streaming music and downloaded content (podcasts, audiobooks), so I think it's some battery saving setting I can't find rather than network related. Let me know if any of you have solved this issue or have suggestions. Thanks!

Are you using Magisk? If so, try disabling it and listen to audio while the screen is off. If it doesn't stop, it's Magisk.
I had a similar issue on a Pie GSI where the audio would skip while the screen is off. I haven't used Magisk since.
Yeah, I'm using Magisk. Tried uninstalling it but the issue is still happening. After screen goes black audio is fine for about 30s then skips and stops. Not sure what else it could be...

Check in the specific apps setting under settings, apps, whichever app, and check to see if it says battery optimization. If it's optimized, try switching to not optimized[
Or if you have ambient display disabled, switch it on, worked for me

I've got battery optimization turned off for the 3 apps I'm testing this with, but still having the same problem. I'm not finding "ambient display" in my settings (Android 8.1), but I went into "LiveDisplay" and I have a setting called "Display mode" that was set to "automatic." I switched this to "Off" and the problem went away! Thanks for your help.

I spoke too soon and the problem persists. Any other ideas what might be causing this? It stutters a bit and then goes silent right after the screen goes black. Real deal breaker for listening to podcasts and audiobooks on my long commute, so I'd appreciate any solution you all can think of. Thanks!

It sounds like what was happening to me with YouTube. Every time my screen would go to sleep, it would start stuttering. I guess it was doze causing it and whitelisting it made it stop. I wonder if switching live display to on would be any different? What magisk modules are you using? I know GMS doze and sysconfig patcher will cause that, because YouTube is a Google app

I seem to have it resolved right now. I've got live display OFF and I exempted my 3 audio apps from battery optimization. I've completely uninstalled Magisk though, so I'm not sure if I'll cause the problem again when I re-root. Maybe I should go back to using SuperSU rather than Magisk (?)

It works in a few rare instances on Oreo. Definitely not pie. SuperSU has been dead and not updated for a long time now.

This audio problem is back. I didn't change any settings. Live Display is off, audio apps are not optimized in terms of battery. All I did was reboot my phone. Was working fine. I can't figure out what I'm missing but it's a really annoying problem. Any ideas?
