Note 4 Screen Overlay Detected

Wooooorks!!!!....... so far lol

download "install button unlocker" from play store and problem solved if nothing works!!

Yes! Worked instantly. Let's hope it stays that way so far. You would think after Samsung''s Note 7 **** up, they would get their **** together.

^Uncheck every app first. Then turn the permission on again one by one in order to find out about the problematic ones.

One solution

Hello,
Had the same problem.
My solution was ti go to settings->application manager->then to the three points select apps that appear on top and there start turning off each app until you find the guilty one. Mine was Messenger that was causing the problems.

Turn Off Screen Overlay on Android

To get rid of screen overlay detected popups on Android either you can apply one of two solution
Solution 1:
Turn off screen overlay of all apps including system apps
This solution to turn off screen overlay of all apps including system apps will surely work for everyone, but one drawback is further you won't be able to use screen overlay feature of all apps, there are some important apps whose active screen overlay is really helpful like messenger chat head, if you want to use chat head feature then you can manually turn on screen overlay of messenger
Follow this steps to turn off screen overlay of all apps:
1. Open Settings
2. Click on Apps Settings
3. Click on Three Dots on top right corner
4. Tap on Draw Over Other Apps
5. Again Click on Three Dots
6. Tap on Show System Apps
7. Now list of all apps with active screen overlay will appear
8. Now turn off screen overlay of all apps one by one
9. Restart your device

Once you turn off screen overlay of all apps then screen overlay detected popup would no longer appear on your device.As I said if you want to use Chat Head feature then you can manually turn on screen overlay of
the Messenger.

Solution 2:
Disable / Uninstall / Force Stop few Apps
Screen Overlay is mainly used by some apps such as ES File Explorer, DU Apps, 360 Security App, Night Mode Apps
Temporarily disabling this few installed apps on your device might work for you guys.

So these are main working solutions, but if Screen Overlay Detected is still appearing on your device then you can refer to more solutions from below:
