I'm in a bit of a panic right now, so sorry if this has already been covered on this forum:

Virtually NOTHING works on my phone now after the Nougat update that just installed:

(1) I cannot get to settings;
(2) I cannot power down or reset with the power button (I have to do a soft reset each time);
(3) I cannot access the drop down-menu unless I swipe with 2 fingers;
(4) Nothing works from the drop-down menu;
(5) I cannot access anything from the home screen unless I double-tap the icons Windows-style;
(6) I cannot access my left and right home screens -- I can only access the main home screen.

WTF is going on? Is there any way to fix this without having to do a complete wipe of my phone???!!

Well, I just figured it out. The "Optical Reader" (whatever that is) setting was on. I switched it off and now everything seems to work.
