This Screen Overlay problem has just come about on my S5 yesterday.

A

AC Question

Despite following the 'resolution' messages (a) Go 2Settings -allow Permissions & try again.

When you do (a) above, then u get messahe to change this Permission (turn on) you must 1st have to turn off the SCREEN OUTLAY from Settings -Apps (open settings) ..... And so the issue goss round & round.

There doesn't seem to be anything about this issue on Samsungs Website.
Is it a Virus ?

If any1 has any update or solution please email me at [removed by moderator]

Likewise - I'll post here or email if requested.

So sounds like I'm off to Samsung for a merry little dance.
Regards, James

You need to find the app acting as the overlay and turn it off.
Common app types are
screen dimmers (Lux, Twilight)
sliding menus and trays
multiple apps by Cheetah Mobile
Bubbles by Facebook Messenger

What were the last five apps you installed?
