Cant Scroll on Android

I cant scroll on android phones. I am using some custom CSS, that @tuanphan helped create (thank you!),  to make images stretch across the entire screen on my blog posts, here:

@media screen and (max-width:767px) {
/*This stretches the everything across the screen on the blog posts*/
/* make image fullwidth */
.blog-item-wrapper article.entry {
    padding-left: 0;
    padding-right: 0;
}
/* Add padding around text blocks, both sides, leaving out, image/gallery/embed - blocks */
.blog-item-wrapper .sqs-layout>.row>.col>div:not(.image-block, .gallery-block, .embed-block) {
    padding-left: 9vw;
    padding-right: 9vw;
}
/*This code fixes the iphone horizontal scrolling, but stops all scrolling on androids*/
 html, body {
   overflow: hidden;
}
}

I know the piece of code that is causing the issue:

/*This code fixes the iphone horizontal scrolling, but stops all scrolling on androids*/
 html, body {
   overflow: hidden;
}

But without this code above, the mobile site has a black bar on the right-hand side, allowing strange horizontal scrolling on iPhones, see attached video for issue without red code.

How should I revise this code, to allow scrolling on android phones?

@paul2009 Do you have any thoughts?

If you are experiencing overflow (the extra black area to the right) you are usually better off finding the cause, than adding workarounds. That said, the code above is incorrect and the cause of the no-scroll issue. It should be 

overflow-x: hidden

not 

overflow: hidden
