Any body else has noticed it? (KitKat)
Turn off auto brightness. Try sliding it slowly down
and when you met 60/255 values back-light will light stronger...
which is weird. It should constantly lowering the
back-light but 60 value breaks it.
It is really annoying if you have auto-brightness enabled
especially when you approach dark places. Brightness will lower
and than BAM! at 60 value it will x-rays your eyes
Any body know how to fix that?
anybody?
Try to disable "Content Adaptive Backlight"
You must make a shortcut of this app with the launcher [Nova launcher i.e.] or an app to create shortcuts
Also you can disable or change the settings of this. Test the settings that best suit you...
Meanwhile.. i'm in need for some help too
check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/elife-e7/help/request-nv-items-backup-qcn-ou-nvf-t3097931

On the dialer of the phone type *#8702# to test your backlight.
If apears all in chinese, download GN_MMITest.apk and replace the one you have in /system/app.
Have you tried 3rd party apps?
Disable the "Content Adaptive Backlight" install this app Brightness Widget - Backlight! and manually set the level you want.
There could other apps that do this better, i just dont know. So if this app dont do the job as you intent search for another app to do so...
Take a look at this How to Improve Your And... and if that is your issue. They suggest a paying app, but if it suits your needs maybe you should consider it...
Hi,
I tried almost every 3th party app like Lux, Velis etc... but problem is still there!
GN_MMITest.apk you posted is not working it says "Connection problem or invalid MMI code"
Thanks for your further help.
Have you noticed it?
When brightness goes across 60 value it will lighten up instead dimming...
With auto brightness turned on.
It seams it is system or kernel bug...

If u have root access then try xposed's module Screen Filter.
Link:- https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-screen-filter-t2893936
Thanks, but I read somewhere Xposed on KitKat cause boot loop...
So I am alone with that problem?
I'm installed xposed frameworks, and work fine, not all, but many modules work!
But, Screen filter no work, sorry! ?
Thanks anyway
Hi,
I am trying to use Waze on my phone, but the app won't open as it keeps saying screen overlay detected. I have gone into my settings and turned off the overlay for all the apps apart from the system apps. But it is still not working.
I have tried searching on Google, and don't have any of the apps installed like twilight, luxe or Facebook which are supposed to be causing the problem.
Any other suggestions on how to fix it?
Cheers

Are you using swipe home, if so deactivate and enable the other app and then enable swipe home.

Not sure what swipe home is? It's not listed under apps, I usually press the middle button to get to the home screen

Screen Balance (which adjusts screen colour balance/tint) and which I recommended in another thread creates an overlay.
Certain apps will not function properly unless SB is turned off.

It's not a stock app it's a downloaded app from the play store.
I usually turn off off all the apps using it and turn it on after... It's a frustrating issue but what are you going to do.
If it's bothering you find a good Rom, for example Superman Rom, Overlays was removed as it's too much if s hassle

It has nothing to do with any of that, it's Google's fault. You can flash a fix which is in Phoenix rom thread or go back to a previous stock rom

Tried setting the screen display to basic, but that didn't work

Sorry, I didn't make myself very clear. Screen Balance is an app, separate to the UI's adjustments.
I had the same overlay issue,what I did that Ive disabled all the apps altogether,and switched them on back one by one,discovered that an application called Swipe Home Button Ive installed was responsible,so I have uninstalled after which everything was normal.
Is it safe to turn off the overlay for the system installed apps? I have turned off the overlay for all other apps that I have installed
The app that was causing me this problem after this weekend's AT&T software update was Bing. I Uninstalled it and all was fine.
How I finally fixed the "Screen Overlay" problem on my S7 edge.
The easiest fix, only full fix, I have found is as follows. When the screen overlay screen opens in settings, just turn everything marked on to off. Which by the way is the only thing you can do on this screen. Since I did all my apps, even the ones that weren't working, are working as they should. Hope this helps someone.
As Richie and Monigote stated, flash the screen overlay fix from Phoenix ROM. LoL pay attention please

even when I tried to turn overlay off for all apps mine still was going wrong and I couldn´t use some apps...the only way I got this fixed was making a reset (from the configs options it self) from all my configurations, just configurations, not all data in the phone, it works fine for now...
now I´m with problem with my mobile data connection, I don´t know if it´s from my brand or my phone...

The message about overlay detected i have seen and experienced a number of times.
BUT the only time this has occurred is when i was using SideSync
i.e. I am using it to Remote control the device using my PC
or am using my PC to display my Phone within my PC screen (So i can use my phone while using the PC)
The warning was being presented by some apps because SideSync was overlaying the screen to mirror it to my PC screen)
As soon as i disconnected this message stopped.
Not am not saying your using SideSync, But any other app you have installed that can mirror / allow remote access or displaying your phone screen on another device like PC may be causing the problem

Did Pokemon enable the game overlay?
Small controller icon that comes up when games like Pokemon are playing - that could be your issue.
Settings / Advanced Features / Games / Games Tools = disable
I finally got around to poking at the camera software on the A7 and noticed a Watermark option. Oddly enough, when I try to flip the switch it doesn't turn on. Is anyone else having this issue or know what I'm doing wrong?
Works for me, and it puts the date and the text "by AXON" in the bottom right corner of the photo.
Puts the date but allows me to input whatever title I want with a subtitle and to set whatever colour I want...
I have the Chinese Axon 7, 4gb ram 128gb rom.
It finally started working for me. No idea why it wouldn't previously.
And now it's not working again. I also had the camera app freeze on me and had to reboot my phone.
So it turns out that if you open the camera app from the lock screen, you can't enable and disable the watermark. But if you open it from the app drawer you can.

Thanks for the tip :good:
It about stops me from doing uploading pictures, downloading. It's driving me crazy anyone else having this problem?
Yea lots of people are. Anything that changes the status of the screen like some kind of screen filter like twilight, night owl, any of those things, can mess with this. It's been pretty annoying. I have Twilight set to a timer to eliminate blue light on the screen before sleeping and I have to freeze and defrost it several times a day. Apparently it's an issue with ZTE. There is a thread over there about it.

I guess that it should actually be a security feature to prevent an overlay app from abusing any open apps below it... but it is really annoying that the ZTE integrated feature Mi-POP will also make this warnings display... you can simply deactivate it through its notification bar shortcut but it's still annoying...

I'm going to guess you have MiPop enabled? is so turn it off and your screen overlay issue might go away.

Screen overlay is new in 6.0 to prevent apps from creating an overlay and giving permissions to themselves. It's not an issue with ZTE.
Yes screen overlay is new. Came from a N6 and never had this problem on stock 6.0 from Google. Facebook messenger will not do anything other than message can't call, or send pictures. Yes it is a problem with ZTE

Go to the "Apps" setting, and then click on the "gear-shaped" setting button to go to the "Draw over other apps" menu and turn off all apps that are enabled. Go back to the "Apps" setting and click on the app that needs permissions modified. When all the permissions are updated, go back and enable the "Draw over other apps" for those apps you disabled.
Use this app it will get rid of that annoying overlay issue.

My phone's auto-brigthness level is off still whenever i switch between home screen, gallery, apps then i feel that the brightness level increases or decreases according to the background of the app. Kindly help
I thought I'm the only one experiencing it.
It happens in my max pro M1 too, it's because there's a service called Qualcomm adaptive backlight, it's battery saving (that's what it says), you can turn it off, if you can open it by launching it through any activity manager app
Steps?

The brightness of phone changes very rapidly. I was using moto g5 plus earlier, there was no problem in that of display light. This is a big issue.
