Screen overlay

Mickyblue — Thu, 18 Aug 2016 18:06:07 GMT

Just updated Z3 and keep getting SCREEN OVERLAY DETECTED message. Turned off all permissions in all apps in settings list it takes me to but makes no difference. Even going to back up my phone and reset but that gives same message as well. Only email not affected is Gmail of course.

If I try to change permissions on any app just get SCREEN OVERLAY message and directs me in a circle telling me to change the settings

@Mickyblue Do you have clean master installed? Can you check if the same occurs in safe mode?

Re: Screen overlay

Mickyblue — Fri, 19 Aug 2016 07:24:41 GMT

Did have clean master. Just removed and everything working OK now.

Hy, i am also having the same problem. You can solve it by switching your phone to safe mode and then go to apps>> draw over other app and then turn off all.. Then after go to app which show screen overlay problem and give them all permission it need and restart your phone.
