So, I just got this "error" on my J5 2016 and well, the "screen overlay detected" message shows up even if there are no apps have overlay activated (happens when giving permissions, for example), I checked in settings even the system apps and disabled them, still doesn't work. That'a basically it.
Any help would be appreciated! :fingers-crossed:

Hi, I have a problem caused by me that I would like to solve, and I just need a little help.
The only things that I have done to my S4 have root permissions, installing Nova Launcher, I installed Xposed framework with some modules and disabled all unnecessary programs from Samsung.
But now I have a problem, when I get a text message I see the notification on the unlock screen, I touch the notification message and below opens a box in which you should see the message but instead does not say anything and remains empty.
I disabled something that I should not disable?

Can't enable storage permission for gmail - "screen overlay detected" error message
New Nexus 6p, latest OTA upgrade.
Tried saving a file from an email attachment on Gmail app, the system asked me if I wanted to allow storage access permissions, I said yes, and another popup message said:
Screen overlay detected
To change this permission setting, you first have to turn off the screen overlay from Settings > Apps
When I go to these settings it shows the setting (YES or No) for each individual app. Gmail wasn't in the list of apps.
Any idea what to do?
I realized I should have posted to Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting subforum instead. Can a moderator please move the thread and delete this message? Thanks
Just had this. Do you use lux or something like it? I unchecked lux from screen overlay, and was able to download my attachment. Now I dont know if that means that lux won't work as well, but....
EDIT: Yes, it completely stops lux. Is there a way to get lux not to interfere with other things?
EDIT 2: In Lux use alternative overlay in advanced and both work now.
Thanks, it was indeed Lux. After disabling permission for screen overlay to Lux, it stopped and wouldn't start again. I uninstalled and reinstalled it and it worked. I can't find the setting you mentioned (maybe because I have Lux lite?). Anyway, they both work now (for now!). Very strange though.
So, I've just updated to the latest Pure Nexus - did a wipe and clean install - and I'm trying to get my apps set up again, but I can't grant permissions through system settings. If an app actually pops up and requests a permission, I can allow it; but for some apps, this doesn't happen. Home Remote Control, for example, won't request the storage permission it needs to access my ssh key. So I go into settings->apps, find the app, tap permissions, try to enable the storage permission, and..."screen overlay detected". Except there is no screen overlay active. I have disabled every app's "draw over other apps" permission. I even found the "show system" option in the list and disabled all system apps' ability to draw over other apps. At this point, SYSTEMUI can't draw over anything else! And I'm still getting "screen overlay detected" when I try to change permissions. Any advice? Is there another way to manage permissions in Marshmallow (like maybe an xposed module)?
EDIT: Thought I should also mention, the issue persists in Safe Mode.

Do you have twilight or lux installed?
The reason it's warning you is BECAUSE they're disabled. Enable all the toggles and the prompts will go away. You can then choose to disable one by one until you figure which app is throwing the error.

Turned out to be because GravityBox pie controls were enabled. Doesn't show up in the "draw over" list, but trips the overlay detection regardless. Disabling pie controls in the GravityBox app let me change permissions.
Hi,
Try to flash this by Custom Recovery.

Thanks man. I have been going crazy for the past few days trying to figure this out lol. Just posted asking for help as well. Such a random and rare issue, that i couldnt find anything on it.
Hi guys, I have recently updated my Galaxy S7 edge to the lastest software version G935FXXU1BPG3 (August Security Patch) and have received this error.
I tried disable all of the screen overlay application and the error is gone. I suspect the app that is causing it is Velis Auto Brightness and Network Monitor Mini.
However, in the previous software version (July Security Patch), I have both of these applications enabled for screen overlay and everything is working as it is. The new update has caused me to disable these apps so that I can allow permission for app to access location, contact, etc.
Is there anyway to fix this to allow the auto brightness and network monitor mini to work correctly without the screen overlay detected error?
How I wish I can go back to the previous software version so that I do not have to disable these applications for it to work.
Thank you for your help.
If your phone is rooted you can download module called no screen overlay dictation it will fix it
I moved to a unrooted S7E with MM and I'm also getting the screen overlay questions. And I just don't get what they want me to do.
For example, from the Telegram app I want to send my location. Maps starts and I'm asked If I want to grant Telegram access to my location.
I want to press 'Allow' but then the "Screen overlay detected" dialog appears and I'm redirected to a list.
So what app do I need to allow permission to appear above other? Not telegram because that one already has it, so it must be Maps then? But Maps is greyed out?
Or is it some kind of system app (Settings? System UI?) that needs te permission to appear above Maps?
It's quite confusing :\
When he tries to enable the debugging mode he gets a "because an app is obscuring a permission request settings can't verify your response" what to do?
For me it was LMT Launcher that was blocking... Just exit the app and it worked.. maybe some other app you have... Try force closing some app with permission to draw over other apps...and try again...

1. Apps such as Blue light filter apps constantly appear on the top of your screen thus breaking some of the on screen functionalities. Try disabling display over other apps permission of such apps and you should be fine.
2. If you have custom ROM installed such as Resurrection Remix(which was my case) who provides Smart Pixels feature under Settings ->Configurations -> Interface -> Smart Pixels , try disabling that too and you will be able to toggle device admins as well as accessiblity of apps.
3. Also, sometimes it is because of your custom launcher, so try switching to your stock launcher if above solutions don't work.
4. If Accessibility for some apps are on then try disabling them first then try to enable for the apps you wanted to.
P.S. : Of all the above 4 possible solutions, try the ones which are more suitable to your condition. For eg. you can't try solution number 2 if your ROM doesn't have Smart Pixels[\B].
Hope it works.
