Disable Screen Overlay warnings - Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers

Morning.
While using GameGuardian, permissions obviously can't be granted. Is there an app or something to bypass that?
Thanks.

[Q] How: control how 'system UI' uses the GPS

I noticed while indoors recently that my N7 was searching for GPS continuously for over an hour which I assume was draining my battery faster...
I assumed that it would timeout but it never stopped until I went outside.
I long-pressed on the notification tray item and selected App Info to see which app was the offending party and found that it was 'system UI' with a jelly bean icon...
Questions:
Is there any way to set a timeout or figure out why it is searching for GPS?
Are there any apps to control this annoying behavior?
If there isn't a remedy, how do I change the permission to force the system to ask for permission to access the GPS?
Thanks!

you could try turning off all location settings, "uncheck the use gps satellites" option.
it could be anything from latitude, maps, google now.....and more

[Q] Unlock Screen

having trouble with the lock screen and security. I can put widget and apps on the lock screen no problem. But when I add a password or pin or other type of security I no longer have access to the widgets and apps on the lock screen. is the a short coming in Android 4.2 or am I missing something?
It is working as designed. Password or pin means security and widgets bypass this. Pick a less secure option or give up widgets.

Ok so this worked perfectly in stock android. Is it at all possible that maybe a tw rom has this built in?

Not natively, but the solution I set up for my wife's phone works pretty well. Try using Widgetlocker for your lockscreen, and setting your TW lockscreen security to pattern or pin. Unfortunately you won't have the pretty lens flare effect, but it does work pretty well.

Surprising!! I thought the point to widgets on the lock screen was that you could easily and quickly perform or see something without having to UNLOCK your phone. Just don't understand!
in my S2 i had a number password and widgets.
when i chose a widget to open it would first ask for a password and then open the app.
don't get why this isn't the case in my S4 (SGH-I337M).

There's a Xposed module called Unlock Effect Before Lockscreen or something close.
Google that.
I hope you have root access and Xposed. If not, ask me.

How do we adjust Screen Overlay

I have a=found a few apps that throw up a window saying "Screen Overlay detected" and ask that the permission be changed in settings > apps. When I go there, I find a slider, but can't move it.
Does anyone know how to make this change?
Settings - apps - settings cog (configure apps) - Draw over other apps - down arrow - Apps with permission
Now disable/enable the permission for each app listed. Between disabling and enabling run the app you were having trouble with. If that didn't work disable for all apps that aren't Verizon, Google, or Moto. If that didn't work disable for all apps.

Any Idea How To Remove Camera and Mic From Lock Screen

The title says it all.
I've searched and have no information on how to get those off the lock screen.
I'd like to know as well!
There's no way currently as far as I know to change lock screen shotcuts with an unrooted stock OOS phone.
SystemUI Tuner app by Zachary Wander from play store does the job. Just give the permissions with adb. No need to root the phone.

It allows you to pick your app, but I didn't see a "none" option.
Would anyone help this old man and tell how to remove the lock icon from the lock screen?
I was in settings and enabled it and now I can't find it to disable it.
It's under the Fingerprint
You can go to Security & Lock screen > Face unlock and then toggle the "Auto unlock once the screen is on" option.

Did you found a solution?
There's an app called Ava Lockscreen that I use to remove those darn shortcuts & other nonsense. Not affiliated, just like the app.
