Hi,
Very often when I want to install an application I have this message "screen overlay detected, please disable" that appears and keeps me from continuing. I am forced to go into the settings, to disable one by one this authorization for each application. Then I go back on the new application to complete the installation. Then I return to the screen overlay management to accept it again for each application. It takes ages :crying:
Is there not a way to disable all at once and then reactivate all at once ?
Thank you
Hi and welcome to assist,
Try this steps:
Go to Settings > Apps > 'Advanced' (near the bottom) - under 'Advanced' subsection, access 'Draw over other apps'. Here, individually change the settings of ALL the apps to 'No' (in other words, disable 'Permit drawing over other apps' for every app). Once done, you can freely change apps' permissions in Settings > Apps > [name of app] > 'Permissions' without the annoying 'Screen overlay detected...' warning popping-up every time. Once you have correctly changed the permissions (for every app that's not working properly), you should return to individually change each of the apps' settings to 'Yes' in the 'Draw over other apps' section (in other words, re-enable 'Permit drawing over other apps' for every app).
Good luck,
Razvan

Program allows you to lock or block access to selected application, access may be obtained by selecting pattern or password
App Guardian
[QRCODE]market://details?id=org.jastrzab.guardian[/QRCODE]
this is simple, i like it
But try this :
1. Download the app
2. Set to block an app
3. Open the app and see the lock is there
4. Open Settings > app > App Guirdian > Clear Data
5. Open the app and see there is no lock :v
so i guess you would like to add an option to automatically block settings?
and oh, if you want to change the pattern from the app, it doesn't ask for the current pattern
turn off/on screen or wait 1 minute and see what happens, when you try to access program or system settings
program by default blocks access settings "com.android.settings" and overrides clear settings button
after configuration or add new apps to list need to clear login, turn off/on screen
Owh, seems that's my problem then..
thanks
everything is working properly now ?, app has been tested on a small number of devices in theory there shouldn't be problems, but.....
Now program is fully completed, access may be obtained by selecting pattern or PIN
Hi there,
is there a way to stop apps being killed?
Some of the apps, that I need to stay open, are being automatically killed in the background, even though there is enough RAM (2.2GB).
I went to battery settings or anything, but there is no option that I could find.
Any way to do it without root?
Regards

It's done differently on EMUI 8 devices.
Settings > Battery > App launch
Select your app, turn off the toggle so you get a pop-up called Manage manually. Make sure the three options are enabled (blue) then press the OK button.
This will stop the operating system from closing the app.

Might be Doze doing that then. Try playing with those settings:
Open the 'Settings' app
Select 'Apps and Notifications'
Select 'Apps'
Press the 'Settings' cog at the bottom of the screen
Select 'Special Access'
Select 'Ignore Battery Optimisation'

Did not know about that, will try it out, thanks!
Done this, app is still being closed, even when I opened it the evening before I went to sleep. It is an app that will alert me when someone is having a hart-attack in my neighbourhood. Quit annoying.
For EMUI 8, tried everything on mate9, any setting is useless to stop closing apps in background, only can do:
1. swift to apps using push notification
2. downgrade to EMUI5.0
3. rooting if possible.
What I have found is that if you lock the app in the open app manager window it won't kill it.
Hey guys i have problems with notifications with all apps. Sometimes i receive notifications and sometimes not.
No one has this problem?
You have to take a number of measures in order to get notifications to work reliable:
1. Go to phone manager and set application in start apps on manual - and activate all switches
2. Type in "battery optimization" in settings and switch it off for the app
3. Open the app and then go to "recent apps" swipe the app down so a little lock appears above the app
4. Go to settings, then apps, then choose the app. Give all permissions and notifications
5. (Most important): go to settings - battery - further settings. Activate "always stay connected"
Notifications should work fine now. If not, uninstall the app, reinstall it and do steps 1 to 4 again.
BTW some expression I used may not be correct as I have set my phone language to German.
In Android 9, and Galaxy S9 in particular (no root available), is there any way (special app, or adb command) to save lists of permissions like "Allow background data usage", "Allow background activity", "Notifications" (with "Sound", "Silent", "Silent and minimized" details)? Meaning, those permissions that are only accessible via "App info". I want to capture those settings before I do a factory reset, but it would be very labor-intensive to go into "App info" for each installed app.
In our smart phone some default application is installed and I can not change the permission so any solution to denied permission without our device move on root
You may go to settings > apps and notifications > show all apps (you might also need to display "system processes" using the 3 dot menu on the top right hand corner depending on the app)
There, you should be able to either disable or uninstall the app, or change its permissions
