No, but there's a workaround. Go to app info for the app that causes it and manually set permissions.

I figured out what app was causing the screen overlay and i turn it off when i need to...was seeing if it was a fix like in xposed where it will override the messge regardless what app in installed.
There's an app called install button unlocker on playstore that solves that problem.

Hey guys,
as many others here, I upgraded to JB, and everything seems fine. However, one thing bothers me: there's an app that seems accountable for 15% of device usage (according to battery stats), it's com.motorola.motocare. Does anybody know what this is for and if there is a way to keep it from using that much battery (or uninstalling it, for that matter)?

Some of the system apps let you 'disable' them in the app details. Check if you can do that with this one.

How did you figure out it was a battery drain,
Did it appear as a standalone app in the battery usage?
Or was it using betterbatterystats wakelocks analyzer or something more specific??

for me it appears in better battery stats as "MotoCare - com.motorola.motocare" and is usually the second biggest consumer at 13%.
I think you'r getting it wrong, it uses 13% not of the total battery but 13% of the percentagem used by the apps alone.
I got rid of the app and had no problems...

well, the important fact for me is that it is shown as the second biggest consumer...and if I don't need it, I don't see any use in having it eat battery, no matter what the exact percentage.

Going to give it a try too, I have been freezing some of Moto bloatware with TitaniumBackup, but missed this. Might be a good find, thanks.
Option "Disable" for this app is not active (in stock firmware). You may only "Clear data".
There are two MotoCare Apps (MotoCare 1.1 & MotoCareInt 1.0)
Does someone exactly know for what Motorola Services do we need these files ?

I think I've found that this app is now called "Moto Help", although, com.motorola.motocare, still appears in system as a priv-app, and still sucks battery even after deleting Moto Help. So I decided to freeze it over after deleting data (apparently it colects information about how you use the phone)... I'm in the observation process right now, but it seems not to be affecting anything so far

... There's one thing affected. If you take a screenshot, image won't appear in notification panel and shutter sound is muted. Apparently it affects camera since it restarted when I opened it (after unfreezing com.motorola.motocare), as if it was used for the first time...

I'm rooted, i've tried editing the config file myself and I keep getting the error System UI has crashed until I remove the line and save and reboot. I've also tried the ones from the market place to add the on screen navigation buttons but none of them work either.
Something I'm doing wrong here or is it an issue with touchwiz?

Hey folks
I'm having trouble setting up my Nexus 6 as a new device.
I am on the developer preview 3 and I have tried both logging out of my google account and factory resetting. I have also reflashed the preview that that would work.
However all I can do is restore from a backup but I want to setup as a new device. I can select it from the drop down menu which is weird but it won't allow me to select done.
Is this some sort of Android 6.0 feature?
Thanks for any help.

You need to remove your Google account before Factory Reset. That feature is in place since 5.1.

As in the s8 plus, while watching youtube an icon will appear to let u fit the video to the entire screen. Now on my note 8 this icon is no longer present.
When you play a youtube video a round "crop to fit" button pops up which allows it to play fullscreen.

It doesn't seem to matter. I can tap anywhere and the icon will pop up on the right side.
For me some videos start out cropped, like some videos from Vevo. It says "Automatically adjusted to fit screen." Then you have to tap the screen to switch it back to normal. And others start out normal and you have to tap to crop.

I've just starting having an issue with my stock Sprint Note 8. The notification panel/ edge panel and floating apps (specifically FB messenger chat heads) will close on their own. it's getting to the point of these apps not being usable. I've done all the basic diagnostics/app maintenance and reboots as well as reset all my settings to stock. this is a last ditch effort to figure something out before I factory reset. I think it's got to be an app not playing nice. The phone doesn't have this issue in safe mode. Just wondering if anyone else has seen or heard of this and if there is an easier fix than uninstalling apps or wiping my device

I was having the same issue but it was only doing it while not connected to Wi-Fi. So I started deleting apps that had to do with Wi-Fi and it worked lol.
Yeah... Thought it was gear 360, but it just started up again. I'll get rid of secure WiFi and see if that works. I didn't really see a connection with WiFi or no WiFi though. It's happening either way. Starting to wonder if it's a software issue
