"Because an app is obscuring a permission request..." - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys. Searched around and couldn't find another thread addressing this particular issue.
When I try to give an app accessibility access (in this particular case, it's the app Dashlane) it shows me the message "because an app is obscuring a permissions request, Settings can't verify your responses." Could anyone tell me what exactly this means and/or what I should be looking for to solve the problem?

Any help would be appreciated!

Regarding Your App Permission Issue
Hi
Welcome to the XDA Help Forum.
Regarding your permission issue on your phone, the problem may be caused by an app called "File manager" (or "Gestionnaire de fichiers" in french). Either you can uninstall it, or if you want to keep it, go in "Settings -> Applications -> Settings -> Draw over other apps" and set the value to "No" for "File manager".
If you don't find still...Go to settings and search 'draw over other apps'.
Let me know if this info is helpful in resolving this issue or not.

Ashwin Nanaware

If it can help... Same issue with Huawei P8 Lite 2017. No way to autorise USB debugging, failing with "An app is obscuring a permission request".
I solved this as follows:
- Go to Settings > Apps > Settings icon (at the bottom).
- Then Advanced > Special access > Draw over the other apps.
- At the top right, in the scrolling menu, choose "Show system processes".
- Select "Floating dock" and disable "Permit drawing over other apps".
Si ca peut aider... Meme probleme avec Huawei P8 Lite 2017. Impossible d'autoriser le debogage USB, erreur "Une application dissimule la demande d'autorisation".
Probleme resolu de la maniere suivante:
- Aller dans Parametres > Applications > Icone Parametres (en bas).
- Ensuite Parametres Avances > Autorisations speciales des applications > Se superposer aux autres appli.
- En haut a droite, dans le menu deroulant, selectionner "Montrer les processus systeme".
- Selectionner "Menu flottant" et desactiver "Autorisation de superposition".

Worked for me
Great tip. Worked like a charm. Thanks!

Try this↓
Check whether there is other app that request accessibility service, then turn it off.
Some apps like fooview or easytouch may casusing this after you granted accessibility service permission to them.
(Worked for me after i disabled the fooview accessibility service when i was requesting adb permission from a PC)

I can not turn off every draw over other apps there and dozens of them, same with modify system settings, is there a way to turn off all of that crap temporarily as I need to use Andorid debugging and it will not tell me what app is blocking the OK, but turning off all of these apps is not practical as I may need to enable multiple computers.

Disabling "draw over other apps" for Sesame Shortcuts for nova worked for me

Just ran into this problem, turning off 'draw over other apps' for LMT Pie Launcher fixed it.

Thanks a lot it worked for me , go in "Settings -> Applications -> Settings -> Draw over other apps" and set the value to "No" for "File manager".

One of the things that I had to do on my (S9+) phone is to temporarily disable my edge(s) in "Edge Gestures" app. No need to force close it.
Haven't tried, but maybe just clearing all the apps from RAM that draw over-the screen could solve the issue.
(I did also uninstall Sesame Shortcuts and all Substratum overlays and rebooted but that was not enough until I disabled Edge Gestures.)

Hi guys i have a Samsung galaxy s7 and i having the same problem to conect a HDMI cable to the tv it said that some app is obscuring permission what can i do i need help before i go crazy

Thanks. This worked for me. I totally forgot I had it setup.

If someone gets this while disabled all overlay over settings, try alert window checker and force close all user apps that it shows. Worked for me.
Btw i was only able to get a pairing question on my device with samsung kies driver reinstall and pdanet lol

i have never used Google Apps Device Policy, so I have nothing in Device Administrators to remove. And I can't remove the app. Why is this now a system app on my phone?

Any way to hold an update in Market?

So I noticed that the latest Tweetdeck update disables the ability to post longer than 140 characters. Is there a way to tell market I don't want to update the app? The problem arises in that there are a number of other apps which are due for automatic update. But because of Tweetdeck I'll have to save the apk, uninstall, update all.
I use the 3party app to disable it.
maybe u could try it, download "lidroid tool box" from market, & disable the update notice from Auto Start.
Open the market, Menu > My Apps > Pick the app > look for the check box that says "Allow Automatic Updating" and uncheck it

It's not that it was automatically updating. It's that if there is a list of many apps to be updated, I can't use the update all functionality as the app is in the list that is up for updating. Instead I have to manually choose to update each app.
What bugs me is I have unchecked automatically updating for every application on my tab and it still checks for updates on every start.
"Updates Available" appears every time......yes I know, Don't need them!

ah... yea I dont know what to tell you on that one. maybe find a 3rd party app that allows a little more control over it? I'm sure there's one out there that can do it.

*install Astro
*backup your app (tweetdeck you said? i'll just say that )
*uninstall tweetdeck
*install the backed-up APK
*it will no longer show up in your 'my apps' list.
Return to the Market with me, then I can not download because the connection timeout error.

[Q] Default sharing app

When I decide to share something from an app (for example a photo from Google+), normally I have to choose the app to use for the sharing (Whatsapp, Twitter, Gmail, etc.).
With my Nexus 5 I don't have this option when I share a webpage from Chrome, Android send me directly to Gmail and the same happens when I try to share something from Falcon Pro too.
With other apps I haven't this problem.
Anyone wonder how to correct this?
Thanks!
Hi, I think it's a kitkat bug. It keeps in memory the last application you shared with.
To fix this go to Settings -> App -> All and choose from the menu "Reset preferences app" or something like that (I'm sorry but my language is italian).

Dropzone/Overlay app

I want to hide an overlay app hence I installed Island app(work profile similar to Samsung secure folder) and installed the app there. Overlay app crashes after few seconds. A message pops up saying access to Dropzone denied. I have enabled 'draw over other app' option. Problem is that this Overlay app doesn't show in Dropzone settings under phone manager when installed in work profile. Therefore I can't change its setting.
I'm on Android 8 without root. I tried cloning it using apkcloner but it shows invalid license. Please help me to either hide this app or tell me how to add it to Dropzone.
Thanks

Samsung Remote Support?

Am seeing this tab in settings, what apk do I need to debloat to remove this? I've been through my apps list but dont see anything obvious, thanks
I don't have that option. Do you see it Samsung members app?
See grab, no its towards the bottom in Settings menu.
don't have that setting but going via help file it offers to install it via Smart Tutor for Samsung Galaxy app
Thanks, just want to get rid of that tab, any idea how?
do you have that app? uninstall it if yes
Have uninstalled smart tutor but the Remote Support tab remains in settings list. Guess there's no way to get rid of it?
restart the phone?
Still there after restart, was hoping there was an app I could disable etc to remove the heading from settings menu, guess not.
I would be glad to remove it as well, I suddenly got it appearing after the last update on my A52 5G.
Any new idea how to get away with this option in Settings?
A bit late to this post, but the solution is to install the Samsung Tips app which removes the "manual" and "remote support" options inside the Settings app and replaces it with a single "Tips" entry: https://galaxystore.samsung.com/pre...session_id=W_03bb1f02be95e1f7c89bf2450f16277d
You can remove both by having Tips installed and disabling it (not removing it) via "pm disable com.samsung.android.app.tips"

This doesn't work on the S21 latest software, CVDC. It will disable Tips, but the Remote Support option will no longer be removed.

On my S22+, I already have the latest version installed by default and tried to disable it via PDP app, but it tells me that some critical app can't be disabled.
It's a system app which isn't directly labeled remote support. You will have to use an application inspector to view all system apps then have to narrow down which app it is. I had to do this to remove the Samsung Account in settings, bixby vision, bixby page, software update installer & more.
Make sure you make an apk backup of the system app before you uninstall it incase you mess up your phone or make a setting inacessible that you needed. You can restore the apps by reinstalling them from the apk you backed up with a tap or use adb to install the app.
If you happen to find out which package name it is please reply with the name as I am trying to figure out which one it is on my phone as well. I imagine its one of the ones that begin with com.samsung.android good luck on the hunt & don't forget to let everyone know once you find out.
