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?

Problem in light sensor or ambient
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.

Does anyone have the problem of being unable to install apps from sources other than the play store? For example, atm I'm trying to update 'Lucky Patcher' and the request for me to install the update which also shows the permissions the app is requesting but I can't actually press on the Install button. I can still press on the show all button and cancel button as well as the touchscreen keys at the bottom but just cant press on the Install button.
I was able to install unknown source apps before however, it just doesnt work now.
How do i fix this?
Is your unknown sources box still checked?

Yeah, double checked that. This has happened to me a few times now...
Edit: NVM! found the problem, was screen filter.

Please explain how you did it. After a lot of searching on my own I found someone's advice to set the brightness to max and disable any screen dimming apps (which I have none installed, bought the device a month ago) and I still can't install apk files. Mind you the appropriate setting to allow unknown sources is set. The Install button just doesn't react exactly as you described. Everything else on the popup window is active (permissions and such). Please help!
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
I had this problem 2 months back. It turned out that the screen filter app that I was using was leading to this. I turned the app off and it worked
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I sat down and killed all the apps one by one. It turned out Battery Mix's battery bar (1px battery level indicator on the very top of the screen) was causing this behaviour. I will report this to the dev. So problem solved! :good:
Yeah, for my Nexus 4 the culprit was Juice Defender's brightness control. Disabled that and was able to install the apk I wanted to install. The developer does warn that this setting "might not work or cause problems".
Thank You All!!!!
Once again I was quickly able to solve my problem with a quick search on your forums!! Thank you all for giving such great advice. My problem with not being able to press the install button ended up being the "Twilight" App. Simple to temp disable/enable so not a big deal to me. I'm also going to let them know over at Twilight so hopefully a future update will solve this problem.
Thanks!!

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

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

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.

I've updated AOD (Always On Display) via Galaxy Apps to version 1.4.02, and since then, most of the time, AOD is at full brightness, even when my device in my pocket, it takes long for the screen to turn off like it should.
I'm not sure if this specific version is buggy or it is something else, but when i'm using my phone, brightness is OK.
Anyone who updated it too can confirm its related to the AOD update?
I'm just afraid of screen burns and battery drain.
I just set a note pad on the top part of my screen to block the sensor and mine dims in 1 minute by my count and goes completely blank a few seconds after that. Try this with yours.

I glad to hear its version related and not my sensor or something like that.
Actually, a lot of people experiencing problems with this version, not only this problem.
I hope they will fix it soon.
By the way, do you know what the previous version was? I would like to search for an APK, maybe i'll uninstall the updates and install the good one.

You can uninstall all updates you did
go to settings, app manager, 3 dots, show system apps, find "always on display", 3 dots again, uninstall updates.

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...

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.

Maybe you are using the "Doze on the Go" feature of Greenify ? Or in Settings search for Battery optimization and uncheck apps which you want to run in background
