Accessibility Service Needed - Message Box pops up and cannot be answered.

Not a Problem

Accessibility Service Needed - Message Box pops up sometimes, probably when phone is turned round. If I answer Yes, there is no option to enable for Locus Map. If I press No, it goes back to the map - although sometimes I need to tap No 10 to 30 times for it to go to map.

How can I find out which Locus option causes this?

How can I find out which accessibility option needs to be enable or disabled?

Hi Iain,

the accessibility service is needed when you turn on the "Screen on/off control" option in settings > controlling > display. With it, the app can turn the screen on or off according to needs of various features like navigation, guidance or point alert. When such a message appears, tap "yes" and then select Locus Map from the downloaded apps and confirm the access.

Thanks for that explanation, but it doesn't totally fit. The screen I get after pressing YES (see attachment to my original post) does not have a section for downloaded apps.

However, If I disable Screen on/off control in Locus, I no longer get the Accessibility Service Needed question. The only part of it I used was wave twice to turn screen on - which worked perfectly.

So it is still a mystery what causes Locus to think it needs more permissions.

What about this section? Isn't Locus Map among the services for the permission?

Oh yes, I hadn't noticed that before. It says Locus Map Off. I have changed to On and will check if that resolves the problem.

Thanks, Iain
