problems with app permissions after update Samsung 5s

[Peter6]

Hi,

I got an update in my phone to 6.0.1 and since then almost all my apps don't work anymore. Can't even open gallery to see my own pictures. All I get is an endless loop with permissions and screen overlay but changing whatever, nothing works. I read I have to somehow de-install the new Android and go back to the older version. Is this what I have to do and how do I do this?

Greatful for any tips

Galaxy s5

SM-G900F

Android 6.0.1

Hi Peter,

It is not possible to go back to a previous Android version.

The reason you are getting that notification is because you have installed an app that is allowed to be always on top. In theory, that app could grant unwanted applications unwanted permissions, so therefore granting permissions is blocked by the system. You can disable the screen overlay of an app by pressing 'Open settings' on the notification you receive and turn off the screen overlay for the app you believe is causing this behavior.

Do note: If you keep receiving this notification only for games after installing the Samsung game drawer, you can manually add the permissions needed for the games by going to Settings --> Manage applications. If you still receive this notification on other apps, it is caused by a different app and you'll have to turn off the overlay. Blue light filters are often the cause of this warning, but there are other apps as well.

Good luck!
