When I try to turn on Accessibility for those apps, I get a pop-up with options to cancel or turn on. CANCEL will cancel, but tapping "TURN ON" does nothing. If it's not going to allow me to turn it on, it should at least give me a message. Any idea what's going on?

Have you done any sort of debloating and/or are rooted and disabled a lot of stuff? There are a couple of things that will prevent turning on Accessibility for apps if they are disabled. They are UniversalSwitch.apk and SamsungTTS.apk.
I mention it because I've had this issue in the past.
So how do you turn these back on? I'm pretty sure it's UniversalSwitch that's preventing it. Mine doesn't say its disabled though.
I uninstalled Lux and that fixed all of my accessibility issues and helped me add a credit card to google wallet. Hope this helps

Yes, I have had the same issue and removing Lux fixes the problem that I had...too bad because Lux is a good app.

Hey, OP here. I just had to go into Lux advanced setting to turn it off. Then I could change the Accessibility settings and go turn Lux back on.
Hello,
I am facing the exact same issue but I have never heard of LUX before.
I am not using it so it must be something else but I can't figure it out. Do you have any other suggestions?
Could help me saving a lot of battery I guess

If you have any sort of screen filter turned on or anything is overlapping the screen, you need to turn it off momentarily. Android secuirty policy prevents you from clicking that while an app is hanging over the screen for a good reason.

Hi everyone,
I decided to reflash stock and i'm running into some problems with enabling accessibility services for greenify and pushbullet. Somehow I managed to turn these on, I have then turned pushbullet off with no issues. Trying to re-enable this I get the "Use Pushbullet?" prompt with the cancel and OK buttons. I am unable to click OK... only cancel works.
Does anyone else have this problem? I've reflashed about 3 times now... md5 of image is OK so I just wanted to see if you all can enable and disable accessibility services without any issues.
Thanks

I have this exact same problem with every single app in Accessibility... I threw on Lollipop and have yet to be able to click OK. It doesn't even register as a button. Hopefully someone sees this and has a clue as to what is going on.
I wonder if this is a bug... :S

I doubt it, or at least if it is it's a very small one since I have yet to see anything else about it. You're the first person I've encountered with the same issue, funny how you mention both Greenify and Pushbullet (I have both and I didn't notice the issue until after I tried enabling Greenify)
I can confirm it doesn't work for the Google builtin services either on my phone: Talkback / Switch Access

I've been struggling with this exact issue on both my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 wifi. Flash to stock, setup my account, start the restore process, apps start installing, I wait until either LastPass or AutoVoice are installed and then I can immediately go in and enable accessibility for it. Anything after than and it can't click on the OK button. My theory is that you get one shot at setting whatever applications. It's definitely a bug that not app or hardware specific.

I found the answer for my specific case. It was Lux that was preventing me from enabling accessibility or installing from unknown sources. Sooo many factory resets and reflashing stock/rooting and it was Lux the whole time. Arggg...

You can just disable it in order to have accessibility settings working again.

Holy guacamole! It was LUX... I simply uninstalled LUX and I was then able to click OK on Accessibility settings. I'll be sending an email to LUX devs in a few minutes.
Although apparently I could just have disabled it... LOL. Either way the devs have been informed

Wow... Thanks for this! it works now.. damn i wiped my phone 3 times :S. Ah well at least battery life is now rocking!
Thanks for finding the root cause! Seems like we're a bunch of people using the same apps.
GOOD GRIEF! This was so annoying. THANK YOU! This was driving me crazy. I am writing this on Jan 7 2015, I dont think the author knows this is an issue. I will write to him/her. Thanks again. On a Nexus 6 5.0.1
Same problem with app called Twilight. Pausing the app allows OK button to register.
Same thing for "good sleep pro". Highly unexpected. Big thanks!

For me it was "Bluelight Filter". Thanks for setting me in the right direction.
Not a Nexus 5 user but...
I still use a Sprint Galaxy Nexus (toroplus) but, it was Lux for me too. The two reasons I didn't think it could have been Lux are, first, after this same issue came to light with the install button on sideloaded apps, they made Lux auto pause on screens where their overlay could cause issues. Second, it's daytime where I am right now. The screen dimming overlay shouldn't be active during the day. Either way, I think I'll need to poke the Lux devs to inform them that their experimental work around still isn't working in the accessibility menu.
Anyway, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'll just have to remember to disable Lux when I need to perform protected actions.
Thank you! HTC One M8 user, and killing Lux helped!

Does anyone else have this problem or know how to stop it?
The schedule function is off, so it can't be that. I've enabled the exception for alarms within it since this keeps happening, but could be dangerous for some people if it does enable on its own like this.

I figured out it was automateit, the app. I had it set to turn the phone down to silent at a certain time of night, but apparently this option enables do not disturb mode on this phone instead of just silencing it. Just poor handling, can't blame the app though, phone is still very new.

I'm having the same problem but its also happening in the middle of the day. I've tried to schedule when its to turn on/off but this has not helped.
"Do not disturb" setting turns on randomly
Same problem. Any advice appreciated. For the moment I've gutted the DND setting by telling the phone to let calls, texts, and emails through when in DND mode.
Are you sure its not some app you have installed on the phone?
JuiceDefender for example does this for me, even when do not disturb is turned off in the main settings.

Do not disturb coming on by its self .
I had the same problem on my Samsung J7 .
What I did to solve that problem was I uninstalled all my apps and reinstalled them one by one and watched which one was giving me problems .....And the app TrackR was my problem now I have no problem with my do not disturb ...The app TrackR seems to have a bug .
Happens w the S8+ too
I have tried and tired to figure this out. I am missing important texts because my DND is turning on in the middle of the day randomly despite turning it off. Any ideas?
I bought a Samsung S8, and immediately started having this problem. It stumped me for a while, until I found this thread. I had installed Tasker and imported the settings from my old phone. It turns out that the action to turn on silent mode was turning on Do Not Disturb instead. The actions that used to say Silent Mode "On" now said "Mode 2". I tested it out and, sure enough, it went to Do Not Disturb. For some reason, "On" no longer appears in the pull down box for silent mode; only "Off" and "Vibrate". For now, I'll switch all the broken actions to say "Vibrate".
I installed Lockdown pro and have this strange problem. As soon as i launch the app it asks me to turn on accessibility service for that app and I did exactly as it said but as soon as I leave the settings it turns back off by itself.
Any help is appreciated.
YES! dear Lord yes I have the same problem from time to time, I just keep enabling it and after a while it sticks. Really annoying!
I had the issue with LastPass. I don't know if it's the same but I think you have to whitelist the app so it isn't killed in the background.

Start fresh is always the best option for things like that. AOD isn't hardware related it's software. Something broke somewhere or somehow

I am in the same boat..!
AOD just stop working. (Stock Rom, no root etc)
I basically tried everything.
Clearing AOD, data, cache.
No luck.
I even resetted device settings.
No luck.
I suspect something/app "broke" AOD.
I can set AOD etc, but it just
not working.!
I also notice that device /display /screen saver
is not working.( if you set /enable it)
Factory reset is my very last option.
If i cannot pinpoint culprit app or maybe an update
that "broke" AOD,
i guess I'll be wasting my
time to Factory reset.. just for AOD to "break " again?
once i re install my +- 200 apps. etc.
Any suggestions?
See if the proximity sensor is incorrectly detecting something.
AOD will not turn on if the proximity sensor is engaged, and even if it turns on it will turn itself off if the proximity sensor is triggered for a few seconds.
Use any app on the Playstore.

I'm having the same issue on my S7 Edge. Tried pretty much everything, even installing several different firmwares (7.0 official non rooted) and no signal of AoD or Nightwatch. Altough, if I use a 3rd AoD app it works flawlessly.
All sensors are ok, phone is running smooth all the time....
I've spoke to Samsung technical support in Live Chat and they say that this is a software issue that is about to be solved by Samsung in the next SW update. But honestly, even trying different firmwares, factory resetting the phone, AoD working in 3rd party apps, and still no signal of default AoD makes me wonder if this might be an hardware issue... Just don't know what because as far as I know AoD is SW only (right?).
I have a couple of friends with updated S7 and S7 Edges and all of them have the AoD running smooth.
If anyone finds a solution for this please just share it
I have the solution
Download the app "NOUGAT QUICK SETTINGS " and grant the ADB permissions on usb debugg. Then you activate the ambient display tile and turn it on in the Quick settings bar. Do it and you aod will back.
Here is the solution
Easy and quick
1. Go to SETTING
2. And then go to "Lock Screen and Security"
3. Click "Always On Display"
4. Turn "Show always"
Done.
Same issue on mine since few days, it's note 8.
I even put the original Samsung theme back, still no luck

May be you guys should try turning off the setting and restart, if that doesnt solve the problem go to recovery mode and clear cache. Let us know if any of that works.
On a side note: I have been facing weird ass issues with this phone just today my phone wont go to mute by using volume key while receiving a call. Like someone calls you and your phone is ringing, you just want to silence the ringtone you can use volume key (Press once), Flip the phone or put your palm over it (If you have the settings on). I tried multiple restarts and switched on and off the settings many times. It was fixed when i restarted my phone to download mode (This happened by mistake i wanted to go to recovery) anyhow that fixed it.

If they catch it. Consider which sensors and operation triggers it, cause and effect, to narrow it down.
Playing with Android is fun... Android witch hunts are how you really learn about Android's gooey layer tricks.
Google searches on older Notes and parallel Samsung models can turn up answers many times.
This model is too recent; so not near as much online troubleshooting info. Google searches encompass threads on this forum as well so it can be a good way to find the needle in the Android stack. Do not time limit searches.
On my 10+ with it's baffling bt poor audio I found the answer with something written about the N9.
Many of these issues are long standing.
Samsung finally fixed the bt settings issue in a Wearables update. That took years.
Only persistence is omnipotent...

It does suck some battery life though. It's one of the features I disable on my 10+ mostly because I find it annoying.
It's cool though how much you can customize notification behavior; one of the biggest reasons to go with Samsung is customization.
I play around with Settings a lot.. never crashed a load doing it. It's just occasionally gets time consuming to sort it out.
