Notification freezes other apps

[Android Central Question]

When my G5gets a call, it pops up a notification to answer or reject. Trouble is, it seems to lock out control oif the phone from all other apps. For instance I have a AUto Answer app that works fine on my old Huawei phone, b ut just wont auto answer on my G5.

Turning off phone notifications only makes matters worse...I do not even get the "Answer / Reject" option and cant even manually answer...it still locks up the auto answer.

Please help
