I have the same problem with Xperia Z2. I'm so frustrated  -- I've spent the last few days trying everything, inlcuding a Factory Reset. What's more, before all this, my back/home/recent apps buttons no longer work, so I need to use a third-party app to get those important functionalities. Otherwise, I have to turn the phone off every time I want to use a different friggin' app!!! With the third-party app, I could at least use my phone, but this so-called security update has rendered my phone completely useless -- might as well have a 15-year old Nokia. I'm betting that the Screen Overlay error is caused by the third-party app that I have to use in order to actually use my phone normally!!!!! By the way, I don't have Lux, Clean Master or Facebook Messenger, Twilight installed.

Might as well throw this $500 phone in the toilet.

I haven't given up all hope -- though I am pretty close to giving it to my 2-year-old daughter to use to watch Youtube videos, as that's pretty much all it's good for at this point.

Perhaps I'lltry reverting to Lollipop. Any other ideas?

I only started getting this issue when I downloaded RBC Wallet

[Maddriker]

It asked me for certain permissions then came the screen overlay issue. I went through the motions but it was not working. I reset all app permissions and now I cannot access my photos or other apps. I have uninstalled RBC Wallet but still the same thing. I cannot get past the screen overlay now. I have an Xperia Z3.

Not sure why but I uninstalled Clean Master and the error message stopped coming up.  The issue is probably with this app.

Hope this helps everyone.

You've save my life.. It did let me disable the screen overlay once I cleared apps running in the background.. Thank you..

Hi. I am Leni from Belgium. Addicted to sony since U bought the first one. Before I had z3compact. Now m5. I prefered the z3. The m5 has a really slow camera 😞
Recently I did an update and i get notifications everytime i want to send pictures in any app. It says 'overlay detected' 'open settings' but then when I do, there is nothing to set. Very irritating. Thinking about changing to XA or X. But want to check the microfphone and speakers first. Music video's never have a good sound when you record it with the phone and speaker doesn't go loud enough to call handsfree in the car. All tips welcome 😉

I'm also observing the same issue in M5 dual.
