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...

I'm going to uninstall LUX and see what happens.

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!

THX to all of you. Once again Lux was the root cause.

I have the same issue on my tmobile note 3 can't click OK in accessibility services settings
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.

Yeah I get this too. Looks like it's enforcing the schedule to me, despite it not being enabled. Really annoying

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.

Thanks. Yes, it's an app, though I don't yet know which one. Restarted in Safe Mode and issue went away.
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".
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 guys,
I'm having problems with getting messenger notifications. Sometimes I just don't get them, only after half an hour. It happens when the phone screen is off and I don't use it. However other apps notifications arrive.
And sometimes I get the messenger notifications in wrong order and it's very annoying.
I tried to solve it by setting the app start to manual but it didn't help.
I hope you can help solving this.

whats your app launch settings
for me when i go to app launch and click the blue tab the choices i leave is
auto launch on
secondary launch on
run in background on
then i press ok.
Thanks
I can recommend keeping the app you've got issues with open in the recents window. Swipe them down to "lock" them which should make sure they aren't automatically closed. That fixed my issues with WhatsApp without changing any other options.
Okay
Thanks
I need some advice on troubleshooting this one.
Brand new P7P, turned on Tap to Wake and "Always show time and info" on the lockscreen. It only ever works after a reboot *before* I log in the first time. Once I log in,that's it,screen is black when I lock it and it won't tap to wake.
I've removed the screen protector in case it was messing with the proximity sensor. I ran the phone in safemode and both *do* work in safemode,so I suspect it's an app on startup causing this.
What I need help with is how can I whittle down the culprit without removing all the apps one by one? Is there an app that will allow me to stop apps starting up at boot time and add them one by one?

@zetsumeikuro wait,I don't get what's so funny?
Mine works on every part of my lock screen.
Any chance you're using lift to wake? Besides that, I have everything else on the same as you.
Edit: Just reread your post. Do you have a lot of apps? You could force stop every single one of them and test to see what happens to be sure that it's an app.

Yeah I have quite a few,but I think I'd rather try this first than start uninstalling and reinstalling the lot.
Not fixed,but getting somewhere. This is related to Bluetooth in some way.
If I turn off Bluetooth and reboot the phone,AOD works. I unlock the phone,it still works.
If I turn on Bluetooth AOD immediately breaks again until I turn off Bluetooth AND reboot.
I thought it might be my fitness band so disconnected and uninstalled the app, but the problem persisted. I have no other devices permanently using Bluetooth, so I'm starting to think this is a Bluetooth bug rather than a specific app now

If the fitness band allows you to take pictures remotely, it is possible that it recognizes it as a keyboard and that this interferes due to some bugs

Good point. This is why I tried to uninstall the app and disconnect the fitness band entirely,just to rule it out. Unfortunately,even once uninstalled,after a reboot with BT off AOD worked,but the moment I turned BT on AOD broke.
I can't think of any other apps using the BT at the moment but having a think. Will post more info if/when I get it.
Finally figured it out thanks to the hint by LaNy_6. This *is* down to Android Auto, but it’s not immediately obvious how or why.
To fix I went to Settings > Apps
Select See All Apps
From the top right overflow menu select Show System
Scroll Down to Android System
Select Notifications
Ensure Car Mode is selected
When I did this, I saw LaNy_6’s screenshot for the Android System notification that says “Driving App is running – tap to exit driving app” in my notification shade.
After doing this, AOD/tap to wake/lift to wake all suddenly work as expected.
Please note that upon rebooting the Driving App notification shows again and you have to tap it to go away. Again,no idea why.
I have no idea why, but I’m guessing every reboot the phone was put in to driving mode. I have never connected it to a car, there’s no reason for this to happen, but because I didn’t see the notification it never got exited from it seems. There’s no other indicators that it’s in driving mode, the phone works as normal other than the AOD problem.
