Has anyone found a way to disable these shortcuts at all? I have the Verizon G2 and it's getting kind of annoying opening these when I don't want to.
There is no setting for this, but I'm sure it can be done with a mod.

This Xposed module will do the trick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477586
I've been trying to do this the other way around - my hardware buttons were effectively disabled! I've just discovered that the QuickWindow case (when closed) disables the hardware buttons from launching the Camera and QuickMemo apps...
Solution: Fit a QuickWindow case (or glue a magnet to the screen!
B.
So no real solution yet, except from getting the pro G2Xposed?!
G2Xposed makes apps stopping, so this is not the best solution.
Still looking for solution of disabling Vol +/- buttins in blocked status.
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
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.

When I swipe up, either from the bottom edge of the screen OR up on the fingerprint sensor, it opens the Google app. This is usually a setting I've been able to turn off in other tablets but can't seem to figure out how to do so on my new M3. It's bothersome, especially because the gesture is overly sensitive on the fingerprint sensor/navigator ie I will attempt to go back (short press) or go home (long press) but it will pick up an upwards swipe and open up Google which I can't stand (it keeps spoiling the latest TV episodes I haven't watched yet!). Anyone know how to disable this? Just uninstall/disable the Google app?
Had the same issue so I disabled Google now. Then I installed another browser Opera and Firefox and now my browsers are using this gesture. A slight upward motion over the scanner and it opens now. I've not found a way to disable it. I tried using on screen navigation but prefer the button.
The only reliable way to disable this gesture is to deactivate the sensor in the navigation menu and then in the same menu you have to activate the navigation bar.
Actually I found if you enable both methods of navigation you no longer get the swipe up gesture activating Google now. It's not the ideal situation but I can use either method.
I install swipelaunch disabler by hairy robot. Its in google playstore.
Problem solved
Thank you @teruhiko666 ! That appears to have solved it and I can turn off the on screen buttons.

Just got m3, it's very annoying to have that swipup gesture. Thank you for sharing, it's the best solution.
from "SwipeLaunch Disabler" description:
Important: For Marshmallow (Android 6), it is possible to disable the assist feature.
Follow below steps:
(1) goto "Settings > Apps > Advanced (the small gear icon) > Default Apps > Assists & voice input"
(2) select "none"

It worked for me. I'm on Android 6.x. I had to enable swipeup utility as default assist app. Then it worked fine. So much better. Before doing this, Everytime I typed it kept bringing up Google assistant. That was so annoying.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't see any documentation about setting the default app. How did you figure it out?

My NFC toggle on the pull down menu is permanently disabled, and I'm not sure how. When I search NFC, and look at the app, the disable icon can't be pressed and it says the app is disabled.
However when I go to connections and choose NFC I am able to turn it on.
I don't think it's actually on though, because as I tap my phone to my SONY headphones nothing happens. I believe this is because the toggle switch is permanently disabled.
I have package disabler pro, and I removed all the apps that were disabled so everything is enabled now.
I restarted the device multiple times, but nothing works.
Not sure what is going on, but I really want to be able to connect to my headphones with NFC, bluetooth works, but it is the NFC I'm looking for.
Can someone please tell me how I can reenable it (so that I can press the button on the pull down menu)?
Thanks!
Bump! Can anyone help with this? I really don't want to factory reset my phone.
Your only option is FACTORY RESET
Thank I know that's an option. Anyone else seen this happen or know how to resolve it?
So no one else has had a similar situation to this, or knows what to do?

Long shot here, try taking the NFC button out of the drop down (long press it and move it up and out). Restart your phone, open up the drop down and put the button back in the same way. Just thinking out loud.
Ok so this is really weird. The button can't be found in the drawer anymore. It's not in my active buttons it the ones I can add. So odd.

When you go to pull down the drawer tap the 3 dots upper right and try button order or button reset to see if it come backj.
It's not there.

Have you installed any apps recently, since it started?
There could be an app that's put in place some kind of security policy that's blocked it. Like a work app?
EG: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S-Phones/Galaxy-S7-NFC-toggle-switch-disabled/td-p/79071
Or you also mention Package Disabler. Did it start happening after you started disabling packages?
hmm this is weird.. im also using package disabler pro and never had this issue. you could try one thing - using package disabler, disable all NFC services and then re-enable again - see if that helps
