Hi all. Been a long time since I posted on here.
Hope everyone is well.
I need some help with the below issue. I just updated to the newest update (April) and since then, every time I put my phone in charge I get this little annoying overlay which just sits on top of everything- apart from when I go to the settings page. I have tried to find something within the "Appear on top" options but found nothing. Anyone else had the same issue?
UK Vodafone and not rooted.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
That must be some 3rd party app running. Guessing some battery or performance checking app

Hi,
I'm getting this notification randomly about some sort of battery saving program and when I tap it, it opens up a web page. I don't know what has caused it to occur. It started when I installed imilka's cm9 but I did a fresh install and so I was installing lots of software back on yo my phone at the time so it could be anything.
I get the notification about 3 times per day and its starting to annoy me because it is clearly malware that I have not asked for. Goodness knows what other problems it might be causing.
Here's a screenshot. Hopefully someone can enlighten me... just let me know if there's any other info I can provide. Might not be able to respond until later tonight as I'm about to go to work.
Thanks for the help.
Try Air Push Detector and Addons Detector application from the play store.
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.

Hi all
I've got a couple of questions that i'd like some assistance on please.
I have an HTC one M7 running Android Revolution 83.1 (as i needed the call fix) and Elemental 18 (i think its 18) and sense 6 toolbox.
Since upgrading to 83.1 i'm having no luck getting push notifications come through, for example i'll be on the website and Google will tell me i have mail, the app never notifies me. I had 15 emails sat there this morning when i logged in but nothing according to the phone. This seems to be the case with any push notifications at all. Interestingly which may or may not be related, it seems to affect whatsapp too at least when the phone is plugged in and charging I've not managed to replicate this without it being plugged in yet.
The second query is a bit of an odd one. This being an M7 I've got the soft keys on the bottom of the phone screen. I've noticed on some apps there are "electronic" ones too. Is there a way to turn these off? Before upgrading to 83.1 i could change any setting in toolbox restart and they would be gone, the same trick now doesn't appear to work. Is this a ROM thing or something else? While not a big deal it takes up some space on screen and duplicates the buttons i already have which seems pointless. I've attached a screenshot for your viewing pleasure.
i ran a quick search and saw no appropriate topics for the push notifications and i wasn't entirely sure what to search for with regards to the appearance query so sorry if they've both been covered before.
thanks in advance for any helpful replies everyone
Anyone see their location icon blinking constantly in the upper right corner? It just started this morning. I have had android 5.1.1 since late last week. It's eating my battery. 73% after an hour .
Seeing the same thing after upgrading to 5.1.1 yesterday
What build? I'm on Z and haven't had this at all. Obviously not a common issue. Yet.
sounds as you have an app constantly checking your location. set your location to battery saving.

The thing is that it's not really blinking, it's more flickering really rapidly. Looks buggy. And I've never seen it before. Had to turn off location for quite a while to get it to go away. It's happened twice in two days.

it pops up when your location is being used, ive seen it a few times.
Same issue!
I am having the same issue here. Its not blinking, its more a flickering of the icon like there is a loose connection to a light bulb. Quite odd....
It started just before I update to 5.1.1, sometime after I/O so I wonder if it might be related to the Photos app or another google app update. I hoped upgrading to 5.1.1 would resolve it but it was still there.
I am also on 100% stock android
Same, nexus 5_ 5.1.1 stocks
I've exactly the same issue. Hoping updates~~~ i've notice battery decrease vert fast sincères update. Not sure it's related
One of your applications keeps requesting location access and is being granted then it'll turn off. Find out which application it is and then uninstall the app or deny the location permission to the application.
Or just turn off location / GPS.

Same issue!
I have a Nexus 6. I noticed the issue about 2 weeks ago. I was hoping to get it fixed with the 5.1.1 update, but it didn't.
I haven't been able to find out which app causes this. If someone finds out, could you please let us know?
Regards,

Boot up in safe mode. Start each app until you find the culprit.
Any resolution?
Has anyone had any luck finding the app responsible for for the flickering icon?
I have started it in safe mode, however am unable to open 3rd party apps in safe mode so cannot find the cause.
Bump
Same issue every startup. 5.1.1 stock. Seems the easy fix is to turn on and off bluetooth though surely there is a more scientific resolution.
I'm been having same issue for some time now.
Today, while location was blinking, I checked the location options and "eye-fi mobile app" (for eye-fi SD card) was at the top of the list.
I have uinstalled it and the blinking stopped...
Will see these days if was the only one causing the problem
Ever since the last July security update, when I try to use any number of apps from capital one too smart select with my s pen, I get it asking permissionas then coming up saying I need to turn screen overlay off. This is an os permission that many programs use. Unless I turn it off on every app, I cannot give the current apps permissions. However summarily turning them off screws up those apps.
Is Is anyone else having this problem?

I'm glad to hear that I'm not alone. I've been really struggling lately. Seems like quite a few of the new apps trigger that "Overlay" problem. I'm not sure how/what to do. Please help
I've been having the same exact issues. It's been driving me nuts. The only thing I can think of is it must have something to do with the latest security patch we got.
Hopefully they fix it, soon!! How do we let them know?

I just turned off all the apps which using screen overlay. After I installed the new app successfully, I turned them all back on. That's annoying, but working.

From my experience, that only works until you open/download another app... Then you start all over
I am also having this problem, I am glad I wasn't alone, I was beginning to think it was just me!
I've found that restarting the device will resolve this issue MOST of the time. It worked for me twice yesterday...
But it's such a tedious workaround!

Go in Dr. Ketan rom & check in few days back post. Someone has posted a zip file. Just flash it & its perfect. Plz take a backup before flashing the zip.

I wish that it was going to be that easy for me... I'm using a non-rooted (un-rootable) AT&T Galaxy Note 5 SM-NM920A.
