Do you have Facebook messenger opened with a chat going? Or perhaps another app like that? I always have to remove the "chat head" from my screen when I get that message.
when I get it, I usually jump to settings, app permissions and setting the permission there. That almost always works.
Same anoying thing here. I had to Disable everything to make other apps work. I even had to change the message app to get around this issue. Hope so done finds a solutio. For that annoying issue
, put the phone in Safe Mode and then when it restarts you can do whatever you need to do if the apps and then take it out of safe mode

i have to disable All in One Gestures, grant permission, then re enable All in One Gestures.
Is this what you mean by screen overlay? Everytime I get a notification while my screens on it's hidden in the background, only a portion of it pops up until at the very end it pops up but then it disappears and I can't even read it.

i dont think you can. You also cant turn screen off with it anymore without root (unless you PIN back in)
Go into the security settings, iirc the very bottom should have a toggle regarding screen overlay warnings
There is probably just one or two of the apps you have to disable. I have an app called swipepad that is always accessible by swiping the sides of my phone from any screen. When I turn this one off, I'm able to confirm app permissions. Super annoying though, as I then have to give swipepad overlay permissions again after the fact. You can get back to this settings menu by going to settings - applications - menu button - apps that can appear on top.

Turn off the blue light filter. That will get rid of screen overlay warning. Also if you have the twilight app just pause it

Nope. Happens on my Nvidia shield tablet now too after updating to the latest marshmallow. It's a MM thing. For now I stopped using swipepad and using the built in apps edge instead. You will have to do the same with whatever app is causing your issue if you want the problem gone permanently. Or wait for root.

Thinking about you this, I didn't realize why I was getting this prompt regardless of disabling all the apps with permission.
But I use the Edge panel, I will try disabling next time I get this prompt; should take care of it.

Handcent is a messaging app, you'll see it in your app drawer ... If its there uninstall it ... Or use it I prefer it just turn off notifications in one of them.
If that's not it ... Then idk try instead of clearing the second one click on it and see what app it opens?

Go into settings apps..
start with apps you do not know. Look at there icon. see if you see one similar. If not then stop one app running at a time check to see if its gone . Continue until you find the program..
Good Luck

Looks like the icon that pops up for watching porn. It's permanent. :silly:
Kidding aside, I don't know what that gear is, but on the SGS3 there was a similar issue brought up and it wound up being a notification bar notification toggle icon.

you can hide notifications for any app in jellybean - settinsg > applications > find the application > untick 'display notifications' (or whatever it says)
Don't forget about the new JB feature.
If you hold down a notification, it will give you an "App Info" selection.

Yeah, that's exactly what it is. When Power Controls was background updated yesterday, the setting 'Notification Icon' in the app settings was reverted to 'default' (which displays the gear icon). I had previously set this to 'transparent' but now notice that that setting still takes up a slot on the notification bar & looks weird when it's sandwiched between 2 notification icons. I've since set the 'Notification Icon' setting to 'Battery 3' and have removed my Battery Widget? Reborn! widget & notification icon. Thanks to everyone for their help & suggestions. This is by far the best community I'm a member of!
So, I just got this phone today and I quite enjoy it. However, one thing is bugging me like crazy because I use WidgetLocker, and that's the lock screen. Is there any way to disable it so it just goes straight to WidgetLocker?

Uhmmm... you want a lock screen that doesn't lock?
You can't have a lock screen without it actually providing some level of actually locking the screen.
I want the PIN, but I wanted to use WidgetLocker as the lockscreen.
So, like when I press the power button, it opens up the WidgetLocker interface, and when I swipe to unlock it, it brings me up to the screen where I enter my PIN.
I'll try uploading pics in a bit to see if I can explain it better.

That's the default behaviour of WidgetLocker - it layers on top of the lock screen. Just do as the others have mentioned and set your lock screen in the settings to PIN, then install and activate widget locker and it will work exactly like you just mentioned.

I think I figured it out. WidgetLocker gave me a prompt when I booted it up the other day via SuperSU accessing it for root permissions. Either it must of not come up last time I booted it or I was trying to do it while I was unrooted... But the problem is solved.
Is there anyway to turn off the screen wake on SMS? Can't find the option. Also tried downloading Hoverchat (NinjaSMS) that didn't work as well.

I noticed that too on stock messenger, I have pop off in notifications. Note sure why it should wake or why you can't even turn it off with the notification led.
I use hangouts as my default messaging app now and it does not turn on the screen. I would like to use messaging, but why leave that feature out as well as the home button waking the screen in my pocket, it drives me nuts.

If you are rooted, install Xposed and download Wanam. There is an option to unhide that feature so you can disable it.

And, since this is just revealing the hidden option rather than hooking in and adding the functionality itself, your choice persists even if you remove wanam and xposed.
I can confirm the wanam option does work, I havent turned it off though cause I want the screen wake. There is also a thread about this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785118

I use Ringo Pro from the app store. This allows me to let this app control all ringers and text sounds and then you can go into the actual programs and TURN OFF all notifications... this plus a SECOND lock screen has finally slowed down the pocket calls to 911 and an array of miss hit buttons...
This is my only complaint with this phone. Pocket dialing and button pushing is killing me..lol this has helped some
Fellows "Blocking Mode" takes care of this. Just set it up its free & comes on phone.
