I Upgraded To Android 6.0 And Major Apps On My Gionee M5 Mini Is Not Working by ELVG: 3:36pm On Dec 07, 2016
Please help!

I just upgraded to Android 6.0 from 5.1 and ever since, some major Apps on my Gionee M5 Mini is no longer working well. Apps like True Caller, Yahoo & Gmails, Whatspp, VLC etc. Anytime I want to open any of these, it will say "Allow Yahoo Mail to access your contacts". Once I click on "Allow", it will say "Scree Overlay Detected", To change this permission settings, you first have to turn off the screen overlay from settings/App. Its getting frustrating because I have been on this for the pass 3 days. The phone is new and barely 4 months! Please, what can I do?

100% possible
Iaint a hard process.
A laptop, sp flash tool and ur stock 5.1 rom
U format the phone then flash d new rom

Shouldn't be more than 1500 if u can't do it urself

But there might be a walk around d issue u r having
Did u download the apps directly from playstore?
Or u just restored or downloaded from the net?

Editted
Watch and solve ur issue

Do a clean install of the OS. Back up only your important documents. Do not reinstall the apps from backup. Do a clean install. Also do not restore system settings from backup. Start afresh. Please use this method as your last resort

I regret updating my phone, I don't have root access to my phone anymore, I tried rooting it no way, reversed it back to lollipop my camera stopped working. I hate this new version, I hate my phone without my sweet fonts, please guys don't upgrade your phone at least for the moment, this marshmallow had a lot of unfixed bugs

Bro, I did. It's only true caller that manage to come up. The rest apps like yahoo mail, VLC, WhatsApp, Adobe reader, ms word, ms excel, gallery, file explorer, camera etc are not just working. I think the major problem is that they are all unable to access my phone book contacts, phone memory & SD card as well as integrating with other apps

I don't own a gionee phone, but one thing with most android phones is that you have to re-root after any OTA update. And the app for rooting in lollipop might be a different version from marshmallow. As a last resort, whenever there is update, I usually take 2-3 days to read feedbacks from users (android authority site) before I decide to update. I hope the developers of your phone are able to resolve this bug on time. Cheers!

When ever you update an android os. Try and reset it to factory settings. It solves 90% of your problem.

Marshmallow is generally accepted as being better than Lollipop.
Battery life, stability, multitasking.

The problem is when you don't get any Android OS version out of the box.
If the update isn't provided by the likes of Samsung, Sony, HTC, it's better to just stick with the present version your phone is running.

But Marshmallow out of the box> Lollipop!
