Found on Tasker and Autonotification apps. These are automation apps that require Accessibility to remain on to function.
To recreate issue:
Set Accessibility on for app.
Set Protected App on for app (to survive screen off).
Reboot.
Accessibility undone.
Setting Autolaunch seems to get Accessibility preserved on reboot, but that should not be a neccessary condition to preserve Accessibility on reboot.
Thanks to AudioRalf for his contribution to rooting out this issue.
Would a beta tester please report this issue to Huawei? Many thanks.
Every single time I launch/run Greenify I have to re-enable the Accessibility Service that allows automated hibernation. Does anyone know how I can make this setting stick? I have tons of devices and none of them have this issue.
Thanks!

I have the S10 and in settings I turned off all Accessibility options. I want to keep all Accessibility Services turned off because I hear they slow down your phone (among other things).
But I strongly suspect that some app is still using overlays or Accessiblity Services. Is there any way to check for sure that my phone is not at all using Accessibility Services?

This is what I have so far
I could use some help with tasker... I use bitwarden and energy ring and android keeps turning off accessibility settings a few times a day and I want to automate turning them back on.... So far my tasks work at detecting them being off but not turning it back on. Any help would be appreciated
Hello,
All is in the topic, I've got an app that starts automatically when my phone is powered on.
It is Aircall, an app I use for passing and receiving calls at work.
I would like this app not to start automatically each time I power on the phone.
Is there a setting for disabling some apps to autostart ? Or an app you can advise ?
Thanks for your help.
Check the app's preferences to see if there are options.
In the Android settings, go to Apps > See All > (your app. eg Air Call) > App battery usage and set it to 'restricted.' This will greatly restrict an app's ability to do many things in the background.
Other than that, you'd have to root your device to get any more control over the app using something like Servicely (Google Play Store), My Android Tools (apkmirror.com), Permission Manager X (fdroid), AppOppsX (fdroid), or Blocker (fdroid) to control the app's broadcast receivers. Apps can choose to respond to various phone states such as when a boot is completed, when network connectivity changes, power is connected/disconnected, etc. It can take some aggressive action to fully prevent an app from always running.
If you're just annoyed by a notification icon in your notification area you can always disable that app's notification so it doesn't appear.
I have tried all of these things to control apps but if apps use a lot of various broadcast receivers they will find ways to keep running. You may find stopping it to have unintended consequences. It being a work app, I'd consider simply disabling the app's notificaiton if it has a persistent notifcation or something. The next step would be to restrict the app as in 2. The most aggressive thing is to root and tinker with its broadcast receivers.
Hello jawz101,
Thank you very much for this very complete answer.
All your precise instructions are very interesting.
I'll have a look at all these solutions.
Thanks again.
I am not sure about straight forward solution. But I would like to use Greenify app. Add apps to it once and run it once everytime you restart your phone.
