For me a workaround was to make sure the app I want notifications from is running, then press the recents button and find the app on the list, then swipe the app down, it will only move a little way then spring back and also obtains a small padlock icon.
You will probably also need to go to the settings menu and find either protected apps or app settings (depends if you are using the Lollipop version or the Marshmallow beta) and enable the setting for the app which makes it stay awake when the phone sleeps.

Thanks so so much. I try this out

You have tomark the app to run in background...
this is no bug it is an energy saving feature.
the device has a stock white list of apps allowed to run in background.
but normally you re asked if an app should be able to run in background or not.
any app that is not allowed to will be closed immediately in standby

I've tried all of the above and still was missing viber notifications. Then I disabled Phone Manager and this sorted out the problem completely.

Wouldn't you need to root the phone and then use an app like TitaniamBackup to disable it?

screen overlay detected phone cannot acces drive with apps

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.

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.

MM 6.0.1: "Screen Overlay" - Pulling My Hair Out!!!

Hi,
I am having a major issue with Marshmallow 6.0.1 on my Rooted N910T and it's driving me nuts! I'm totally new to MM and I have no idea how to handle this, or if it even can be handled.
This is a new phone for me, that was fresh and I updated to MM using Samsung's ROM, Rooted it and have PhilZ Recoveey on it.
After I install apps that need access to my Storage (or some other things), like for example "OfficeSuite Pro", which needs access to my Storage, a message pops up when I open the app, telling me it needs that access. So I tap "Allow".
Then another message comes up that says; "Screen Overlay Detected" and it tells me that I have to turn it Off. So I tap "Open Settings".
Then it takes me to a list of apps that each have an On/Off switch and it says; "Apps that can appear on top" at the top of that screen.. And sometimes I can move the switch, sometimes I can't. But whether it's already in the right position, or I can move it there (and I've tried both settings) makes no difference.
I.e., it still does the same thing when I go into the apps and so in this example, I still can't access my documents.
May I please humbly request, does anyone have any idea what's going on here and how to hopefully fix it? I would be so amazingly grateful!!!
Thank You!

If you have a screen color changing app like Twilight or F.lux running, pause it and run whatever you want without overlay bother. When you're done with your app, resume your color changing app.

If you have root+xposed installed you can grab ( disable screen overlay warning ) module and activate it. You can get rid of it permanently.

Runkeeper and other running apps are closing

Hi there,
My OP is working fine since the update to 4.02 except for 1 thing. The apps I use for recording my running workouts are closing after a while. I have tried different apps (runkeeper, polar beat, Strava) but they are all having the same problem. After a while (not always the same time) they close. All my battery save options are disabled. I tried to lock it in the recents screen.
On 3.x.x roms there was no problem and yes I did a factory reset after the update, my phone is stock no root etc....
I'm thinking about going back to 3.x.x rom if there is no solution for this

Ok.. Thnx.... Haven't tried that... Try it by next workout...but what does it exactly do? Do I've to enable the function? Now I switched it on put the apps in the upper section "allow apps to start automaticly" (translate that because it's in dutch on my phone) and then disabled the function. Is that ok or do I have to leave it on?

Q's lots of: Oreo can't figure out, find stuff, or how to do stuff. Ongoing.

N6 Oreo 8.1 [AOSiP-8.1-Official-shamu-20180617] TWRP & open_gapps-arm-8.1-micro-20180623.
Can't find Google icon in app drawer. How do I get the Google icon in app drawer?
How can I enable Double Tap to Wake?
I have other questions but I've been tweaking hard on rooting this, exploring & trying to figure N6 (new to me) & Oreo.
So I'll add other questions.
Almost all my progress so far due to ktmom, & Strephon Alkhalikoi. Starting here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/how-to-nexus-6-one-beginners-guide-t2948481/page93
Post #928
Done a lot of searching, figuring & fixing on my own as well.

"Can't find Google icon in app drawer. How do I get the Google icon in app drawer?"
Use a different OpenGApps package.
"How can I enable Double Tap to Wake?"
Search for a mod to enable it. I'm not familiar with the ROM you're using - I use Nitrogen - so I don't know if there is a setting for it built in to the ROM.

Most kernel apps such as ka mod, or ex manager will enable what your looking for. Being you are running aosip its cooked with ex kernel which has double tap to wake. As far as Google...maybe try different gapps.

Let me also suggest that you read through the thread where the ROM was downloaded as there is always gems hidden away.
And I kinda suggest that using the stock open Gapps package with a config file to prevent the install of unwanted apps help you ensure all of the frameworks you need are installed.
You can create the config file as outlined in the open Gapps wiki I linked to in the other thread and then reboot to recovery and flash the new Gapps setup. The install script will remove the old packages and install the new ones based on any config file available.

Would I lose my non-Gapp apps?
I have searched, searched & continue to search for the double tap to wake solution. In case I'll add I'm using a locking pattern for security. On my LG G Flex that didn't affect Knock On.

No, as long as the data partition is not getting wiped, you won't lose play store apps. And there's no reason to wipe any partition for this exercise. The ones you flash in recovery go to system.

I have Double Tap to Sleep not Wake. So I'll happily ask for more ideas for that.
I imagine I will take your suggestion to flash stock open Gapps & write a create the config file as outlined in the open Gapps wiki. Not quite yet. I want to transfer my pdf, epub, photos, vids, get shortcuts sorted & just get used to my N6 before that.

Yes, sorry you're right. I don't use that. It's possible it's activated through a kernel app.

How do I turn off cellular data? I don't see a data icon in the notification bar. There is a wifi icon but whenever I turn off wifi cellular data starts up. I don't want that.
Do I need Titanium Backup to disable system apps? For instance I don't like the default file manager. Or is this an instance for reflashing open Gapps editing out the File manger in the config file?
What is the best way to disable ads systemwide? I'm using Blockada. Or is Adaway, Ablock or something else the way to go?

The AOSiP room comes with Elemental Ex kernel. Look at settings -> System -> About phone. I don't bother but I believe you can just install the Ex kernel app to manage settings. You'll need to read an Ex kernel thread.

That's a better approach so when you discover it's needed for file browsing in another app it's easier to re-enable.

I have no idea. Maybe it's not optimized for Oreo, maybe another app or mod is conflicting, maybe battery optimization needs to be turned off.

I have a replacement File Manager (OSS). So I'd like to disable (disappear it from app drawer) or uninstall it.
Thanks for notification dragging tip. As far as ad blocker using Netguard from XDA through F-Droid. Had a scare optimized everything for battery usage. Stuck at Google screen. Held power button till off, turned on undid what I did OK so far.
OH btw I have sort of double/triple tap to wake thing working. Doesn't always work. And it's always proceed by picking up or turning over the phone & the ROMs crossing swords clock popping up 1st. Then I tap away & get to the lockscreen. Not sure what I did.
What happens if I do a Factory Reset? I know all data gets wiped. But does it stay Rooted, on the Same ROM with the same open GAPPS? And if I do a Nandroid & restore it is it Exactly the same?

I have a replacement File Manager (OSS). So I'd like to disable (disappear it from app drawer) or uninstall it.

If I want to disable a system app and going to Settings --> Apps & Notifications --> All Apps --> App Name doesn't offer the option to disable I use Titanium Backup as you mentioned.

Try installing EX Kernel Manager and going to Gestures and enabling Double Tap2Wake. If support for DT2W is built into your current Kernel as previously mentioned then that should enable it.

I think I have DT2W sussed. If lay down the N6 on it's front & then turn it over DT2W works perfectly.

Battery optimization is the same as "doze". It's a feature to help reduce the drain apps can make on the battery. The only apps I manually have set to not optimized are Tasker, k9 mail, Termux (because it has some long scripts that run overnight) and Auto tools plug-in to Tasker.
If you factory reset, only data, cache and dalvik are wiped. This is true whether the wipe is done through the ROM in settings, or using the default factory reset through TWRP. Any apps installed to system (e.g. the open gapps you flashed with the ROM) will still be available. Root, because it's installed into the boot partition, will still be available. But the root app (e.g. Magisk manager) will need to be reinstalled after boot. All user apps, which are installed into the data partition will be wiped as well as updates to the apps on system that were downloaded from the play store.

The DT2W is tied to the gesture "lift to check" (settings->display->advanced->ambient display). I *think* this association is required because of changes in the Google code that prevent apps from doing (certain) things with the display off.

MyBackup Root (Rerware, LLC) also Freezes Systems. That's what I'm using now.
SOLVED: How do I know my battery is turbo charging?
Edit: Just saw a reading on the screen, "Charging Rapidly".
Just got the Motorola SPN5970A TurboPower 15+ QC3.0 Wall Charger with SKN6461A USB-A to micro USB cable.
It is backwards compatible for the N6 superseding the included OEM charger. Used once so far & I did not time the charging time.

Thanks again all XDA'ers.

How do I assign Speed Dial #s?
When I long press a # I don't even get "no number has been assigned to this speed dial".
All I found so far are stupid Favorites or make a shortcut for a contact. If there's no Speed Dial that's REALLY stupid.
Thanks all.

You don't. That is what Favorites are for, as they are more efficient than speed dial. In fact, the dialer has never had speed dial. The only long press button is the number 1, and that is set for your voicemail.

I was afraid of that.
Why not offer both? Grrr frusty Speed Dial is easier for me. I don't want to look at Favorites. I want to open the Dialer & long press a number.
For instance in Speed Dial I'd assign 3-5 #s for personal contacts & 3 #s that are shtf #s.
I don't want to even think of the shtf #s let alone look at them in a Favorites page.
But when the shtf I just want to long press a #.

Because speed dial is woefully inefficient and unnecessary on a smartphone. Dumbphones need it because they lack a quick method of dialing a desired number. With a smartphone, you have your most frequently dialed numbers on the Favorites page, with no need to remember which number a particular contact is located at. A tap on their picture and you've dialed them, and more quickly than with a long press of a digit.

I find Speed Dial necessary.
I don't want to look at shtf #s on a Favorites page while calling my happy, happy, joy, joy friends & family.
But when the shtf & I need to give/receive help I just want to long press a #.
