Hi everybody. I have a problem after the 5.1 upgrade on my Honor 6 plus. OK Google works ONLY if I manually launch the application and I do the voice command. At the moment I switch off the screen OK Google dowsn't work anymore even if I unlock the screen. With 4.4.2 it worked even from the lock screen. I authorized google application in the "Authorized applications" setting but it seems to shutdown Google application when the screen goes off.
any ideas?
Thank you
I'm using a Mate 7, and I'm experiencing the same issues as you. I disabled Phone Manager, so it's not killing apps when the screen turns off. This could be related to how Huawei changed up Android though...

Im using a verizon sgs3. Today i tried using the google navigation using search by voice, once i clicked on search by voice, the phone froze, the screen turned block (while the notification bar is still on) and a few seconds later i get a popup saying, "Unfortunately, Map has stopped."
Does anyone else have these issues?
No issue here, blue VZW Galaxy S III 16 gb.
I would suggest restarting the phone.
If that doesnt work, reinstall Navigation.
Are you rooted?
Also, you haven't disabled S Voice from the App manager have you? That could cause the problem as well. I disabled it, and it caused problems with the phone app when accidentally hitting the voice dial button.
Hi there,
since the update to Android 5.1 and EMUI 3.1 some services like Whatsapp wont work properly.That means for me:
- Push notifications from Whatsapp and Snapchat will only arrive, when I open the app -> sometimes, when I close the app from the task manager or leave it over the night
- Whatsapp forgets the names of my contacts and only shows the numbers (some background service not running?) -> fixable by "updating" the contacts through Whatsapp. Happens at least 5 times a day, even when I'm not closing Whatsapp through the taskmanager.
Every permission I could find is activated, I guess it's some kind of automatic battery saving, which I'm unable to find.
Thank you very much,
Julian
I used to have that problem as well after updating my Honor 6 to EMUI 3.1 based on Lollipop 5.1.
Updating WhatsApp to version 2.12.278 (link in the FAQ section in the official website) seems to improve. However I still have another problem which could not be resolved, I could not change the notification sounds.

you need to set your apps to be protected at Settings -> Protected apps to prevent them to be closed automatically by the system
hope it helps

I have Honor 6 too, don't updated till now. And i have another phone with Android 5.1 with same problem. Is there any third party App like "protected Apps" from Huawei? I don't have any chance do get my backgroundservices running, that unbelievable :crying: who decided this? The Charwoman? I mean, android without backgroundservices = no mor messages in lock screen.
And when i leave app open, battery usage is 4x stronger then background service....
I have runkeeper protected and still after about 1h of usage it simply stops with no errors...
I'm on an early version of DEV (rom), I think I'm going the "stable" route next.

I have the exact same issue, came across this thread looking for answers. RunKeeper (and I assume any other app as well) is simply killed after about 1 hour. I usually use my phone during walks, to for example take pictures, answer chat messages and whatnot, so I thought the issue could be that I was out of memory and that is why it closed the app. To get to the botton of it, I tried the following steps:
- Reboot the device
- Clear everything from the multitask menu
- Make sure RunKeeper is set as a "protected app"
- Start RunKeeper, begin an activity
- Keep the app open, i e not going back to home screen or opening any other app
- Waking the screen every 5 minutes or so to make sure it doesn't go into some deep sleep mode
Result? After about 1 hour, when I pick up the phone and unlock it the RunKeeper process is simply gone, killed by the system. By the way, for me it's a Huawei Mate S device, but this seems to be an EMUI issue. I'm on EMUI 3.1 (B145 europe, official release). Just thought I'd chip in. This is annoying to the point of being a dealbreaker to ever getting another Huawei until I can confirm it's fixed.
I have this problem constantly. I installed an app called "pnf no root" but it also helps temporarely. I really like my honor 6 [ h60-L12] but this is a really annoying problem. I realize that huawei doing this save battery power, but this is ridiculous. What's the point of protecting the apps if it doesn't do anything in the first place ?

Hi, I have the same problem with my Honor6 [h60-L04C900B521]. I talked with technical support and they told me to install an application locking the GPS signal . Check if it works with Endomondo + GPS Connected app but this can only fix the endomondo problem I hope.
Edit. 10.04
Unfortunately this application do nothing. Endomondo was kill after 1 hour running. Anyone have idea what to do with this?
Edit 11.05
Finally after update to marshmallow there is one option to keep endomondo while workout. Under battery in right-up corner there is settings icon and there is option "close excessively power intensive apps running in the background" this option actually works fine.

Using Whatsapp, I realized there were problems. Both in the adroid version 6 and in the android 7 version, Whatsapp freezes. Of course I have set up the phone properly so that Whatsapp does not fade when the screen shuts off, but freezes the same. I've read that this problem also happens on Huawei p9 and p9 lite. Do you know a solution?
I think there was something like you have to lock the app in memory from recents bar maybe or from settings. I don't own the phone though.
Never had this problem. I have whatsapp on protected apps list and everything is smooth
Initially it was working fine for a while. Now when I hit the maps and navigation arrow on the home screen to select between waze or google maps all I get is a black screen temporarily and then it goes back to the blue Android Auto home screen. So it won't let me make a selection. If I uninstall then reinstall Auto Android and waze it will work until I shut down then the next startup I have the same problem. If I uninstall waze I am able to use google maps again. I have read in other forums that it may be a Huawei issue. Has any one else here experienced this?

I've also read online that many Huawei devices have issues with Android Auto. It might very well be a Huawei problem. But then again Waze for Android Auto was just released and is known to be buggy on other popular devices like the Galaxy S8 and S7.

My one do exactly the same, on top it play no music with google music, song start to play but no audio from the car.
Seems there are big issue with android auto at the moment :crying::crying:
Just an hint, is enoth to remove and reistall android auto, no need to remove waze to make it work again.......
Looks like the latest Android Auto update may have actually fixed the problem. Waze has been working like it's suppose to since the update
I have the same problem. A few days after Waze installation i only get a blank screen. Google maps works perfectly....
The issue can be seen also with an OnePlus 5 on a Mercedes HU.
It is clearly an Waze issue! Freezing Waze (from Titanium Backup) solves the issue. But if you unfreeze Waze and select it again in Android Auto you'll only have a black screen instead of any navigation app in Android Auto.

I had the same problem with the audio got it fixed by downloading an 3rd party App called "Equalizer". Someone said it is related to the system equalizer so its a Huawei/Honor specific issue.

Any solution for this beside reinstalling Android Auto or erasing all its data ?
Thanks

No, unfortunately I've never found a solution aside from erasing it's data whenever it happens. I keep hoping that one of the updates will solve the problem but no luck so far.
try disabling battery optimization for Android Auto and Waze... this worked for me on my oneplus 5T so far
After updating to Oreo I notice GPS been used every time I access my home screen (I use Action Launcher).
If I disable the Google Now integration the problem is solved. And Entering the Google App directly it happens again so I´m comfortable to say its something between Google App and Samsung S7 Oreo.
Anyone have an idea? Its a normal behavior in Android Oreo?
