What setting button?
And which rom?

I had never heard this issue before some users are reporting such issue that my settings app is gone because android showing its a harmful app just like miexplorer actually its not harmful but android security system showing its harmful and asking about to unistall it. Like the same i think android setting is an inbuilt application so its asking about to disable it and if someone done that then its getting invisible.

I have the same problem.
Would someone tell me solution?

https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...s-accidentally-disabled-t3583203#post71953941

I have backed up all my files and went to 33R.
Seems Google settings is seeing 'Settings'' as harmful??
So I used Kingo Root to root and Myandroidtools to look at the shut down apps to restore it. A must have to root to fix this.
And also these functions will prevent future notifications.

sorted so can be locked.

Search bar gone from recent apps screen in Lollipop

I just realized my Google search bar disappeared from my recent apps screen. Anybody know how to re-enable it? Thanks!
Running stock Lollipop 5 and elementalX kernel
Same happened with me. What might have caused it?
Sent from my Nexus 4
I just realized the same. I wonder if it was the cause of some of the memory leaks and was therefore removed in 5.0.1 perhaps.

People say to boot with safe mode (long press Power Off in power menu) then reboot and it should work.

Worked for me, thanks! But I wonder the reason that it disappeared, usually the safe mode solves problems when it's an app-related bug, but I have no idea why it comes back for real when reboot to normal mode again.
Maybe CyanogenMod can help you..

It's an issue with the app's widget receiver or something. Dunno.

I just had this issue on CM, so it's not an AOSP-exclusive bug.

Thank you for the suggestion. It worked for me as well. This bug was driving me nuts!
I don't have the search bar in Recents on a recent clean flash of 5.1.. I completely forgot about it since it was missing on 5.0.1 as well. This is the only thread anywhere that mentioned it. It returns after booting into Safe Mode & remains after rebooting normally. All my widgets said, "problem with widget"& I had to remove & re-add them all. It must be a common 3rd party app (with widgets?) we have installed interfering with it. Which one, I wonder? Xposed Modules still work in Safe Mode, so that's not it.
The recent apps (now renamed to "overview" in Lollipop) search bar just uses the search bar widget from the Google search app. If it has an issue with loading that widget for whatever reason then it doesn't show up properly. Don't know why a safe mode boot fixes it.
I recently learned I don't have the search bar in my recents menu because I've replaced the long press function on the home button.
By default it opens Google Now but I use an app to rebind it to turn my screen off.
If you rebind the function, or have it altered or disabled in some way then the search bar disappears from the recents menu as it is attempting to open that Widget.
Had the same problem too. Thanks for the safe mode tip!
Has anyone encountered this issue with Marshmallow? I was resigned to not having the search widget in Recent Apps because I liked using Swipeup Utility, but in 6.0 the API for that gesture is completely removed so I uninstalled Swipeup, did a safe mode boot (which on 5.1.1 did work to restore the widget) and cleared cache.. but still don't have the widget back. It's not a big deal, but it's a quirk and I prefer at least knowing the *why* of it, even if it's not something with a feasible solution (for me).
Dunno
Same thing happened in my opt with oxygenOS non rooted device. Thanks to the safe mode tip. But still wondering which app caused the search bar to be removed and how is safe mode fixing it.

Safe Mode resets all your widgets. The search bar in Overview is also a widget, so something to do with that. I haven't had the issue on Marshmallow yet.

Yeah, I've been having the same issue for the past couple of CM13 nightlies on my OnePlus One.. There is a button to turn the search widget off for the recent apps menu, but I've turned it on and off hoping to clear up the issue, but to no avail. I booted in to Safe Mode, and voilà! It appeared! But when I rebooted it back to normal, the issue reappears. I'm gonna clear the cache for the Google app, but as of now I'm waiting for this bug to be fixed in CM.

Weird issue with accessibility settings

So I'm on a US Unlocked HTC One A9 on 7.0, unmodified.
Every time I reboot or shutdown, all accessibility settings are turned off when I start my phone up. Some apps I use like Tasker, Navbar Apps, and Status need this to work properly.
Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix it? I wasn't having this issue on 6.0.1
Necro bump I know, but if you stumble upon this issue in the future, it has to do with Boost+, just whitelist the apps and problem should be fixed. Just thought I'd post the fix for any who may have the issue.

I accidently disabeled/deleted the Google app

so I am an Idiot,
I had this issue with my headphones on my phone that google would pop up on random times to ask me wether I needed help from the voice support thingy.
So I looked up some video's on how to fix it and most videos said to just disable/delete the google app from my phone in App manager.
Everything went OK but when I wanted to go to my home screen, an error popped up saying there was no home screen...
I'm like; 'What the hell?!?'
so I turned off my device completely just to discover it wouldn't boot up correctly when I started it again.
now I am stuck with only my bootloader and I can't get back to factory mode, I did not root my device for any of your interests
pls help someone who knows something that might help me
Go to recovery when turning device on and from there do a factory reset?

So you did something in settings, or are you rooted and used some app to delete stuff? The answer to your problems really depends on what you did.
As a quick fix, log into your Google account via a PC and find Nova Launch (or some reputable launcher) and push it to the phone, once it installed press Home and it should ask you to select your Home screen and make sure to tick "Always".
The real problem here is you tried to a fix a problem that didn't fixing, just a quick settings change... A quick thread started here would have probably got the quick answer of turning of Google Assistance Anywhere to fix the problem without messing anything up.

Hi, I did not root my this device and did not delete the home screen from TWRP, just from the application manager. but it's more than just the home screen. I said I've tried to restart the device but when I was booting it up again, I only saw the Motorola logo loading for like 15 minutes.
It does connect to my PC and it recognizes the device, but I can't find it in File Explorer.
I might try to install Nova launcher, just to see if it works or not.
thanks for the reply though

If your not rooted you couldn't have deleted the app needed, only disabled it. Pull down the notification shade twice (or with 2 fingers) and tap the settings gear, scroll to Apps, then scroll to the bottom where disabled apps would be listed and re-enable everything and reboot. If that still doesn't work, push Nova, and as a last resort you can perform a factory reset.

When I do that, it does the same thing as if I didn't. I don't really know how to push applications from my PC to my phone. Maybe I can try to redownload the google app through pushing.

lock screen and security

I'm having an issue getting into my lock screen and security settings. Every time I try to open it, it crashes. I can get into every other setting besides lock screen and security. Also can't use the search feature without it crashing. Galaxy S8+here. Anyone know a work around without having to factory reset my device?

strange,
please give more details
I'm having the exact same problem on my s8+. Cannot use search function in settings menu or settings just crashes. Only discovered today actually, that I can't access lock screen and security now. Clicking on lock screen and security causes settings to crash. Have you been able to fix this? I really don't want to have to do a reset.
try safe mode so you can find out if it is caused by an app
If you forgot the login password , you can not access your phone
I'm having the exact same problem. Only noticed after installing bixby and it recommending setting up smart lock from the lock screen and then not being able to get in to the settings. Was working fine when I used it just a couple days ago, not sure if bixby has anything to do with it but have tried wiping cache and safe mode with no luck?
Edit: so just after getting a new firmware update the problem seems to be fixed. Not sure if this was an actual issue with the old firmware or any update would have fixed it.

So this has actually happened to me 2x. It's effecting my phone currently. The first time it just kinda fixed itself after an update thru T-Mobile. Sucks. Can't use Google Maps or Inbox at all either. So frustrating.
My settings crashes when I go to set "Emergency Alerts" and the Advanced settings in Mobile Hotspot. Wiping cache doesn't help. Anyone else have this happen?

Blackview BV9900 closing all apps and widgets at reboot and sleep - please, help

My Blackview BV9900 phone kills all previously running, auto-start processes upon reboot and even when coming out of sleep mode after a few seconds/minutes, including its own accessibility suite app.
1. Widgets and auto-start apps like weather, antivirus, applock, screen lock, system network (from phone setting like LTE/UTMS), system accessibility suite app, etc., do not start automatically with the phone. All apps have to be started manually at each reboot of the phone.
2. Rebooting the phone kills all these and other auto-starting apps and resets them to "killed" even when they are in the whitelist. They are also killed after a few seconds of sleep mode.
The Blackview forums have offered no solution.(s) or workaround.
Software Version: BV9900_EEA_S900AA_V1.0_20200522V12_20200523-0035.
Please, suggest solution that can make me use it like other smartphones. I stopped using the phone after a few days of receiving it as a result of the frustrations experienced.
Hello,
I'am sorry, I don't have solution but the same problem.
I received a BV9900E a few days ago. it's a nice phone.
But... I have the same problem. I would like to put a custom launcher with custom widgets and custom animated wallpaper. But if I shut down my phone, I lost all my settings, the widgets and wallpaper. All must be reinstalled, and/or reconfigured.
I try to use whiteliste, did several tries and try various solutions found on the net but nothing helped ... I lose everything on each restart. Only stock widgets work.
I think I have found the beginning of an explanation here: https://bbs.blackview.hk/viewtopic.php?t=532725
Does anyone have a solution, can help?
I am not an expert for rooting phone and try like on the Blackview topic, but i don't find BV9900E/Android 10 specific stock ROM for now.
Any solution is welcome !
Thank you in advance for your answers.

I contacted the Blackview helpdesk who responded to me that that was how the BV9900 was designed to work, and that there was nothing that they could do; no work-around too.
Ok thank you !
I also asked Blackview helpdesk. No answer yet.
But if there are no solutions or i can't find any solutions, I will finally ask for a refund because I want to be able to do whatever I want with my phone. I bought a phone and not a forced bloqued system. it's not a problem for me!

Same problem here with my BV9900 pro.
1. After reboot, some app is not auto start-up. If Mi phone, they can set Auto Start-Up.
2. App was killed, I already set Battery Not Optimized , and Locked in White List. But some apps no help.
Hello there, have someone updated this rom and rooted it?
I tried many times, downloaded the stock, flashed it, installed magisk/twrp rooted it.
But the BV9900_EEA_S900AA_V1.0_20200522V12_20200523-0035 will not work

No solution from me yet. What I have tried to do is to avoid rebooting the phone after I have completed the settings.

Hi
There is a hidden app named DuraSpeed that mess things up . According to blackview it's only in android 9 , but i found it in my android 10. I disabled the app close functions there. Now things seems to behave better. Using the whitelist us not enough.. go to settings and then apps & notifications. Search for dura and open it
Thanks for pointing us towards duraspeed. I will try disabling it and provide feedback.

I have been running it disabled for a week now and my lock screen has a lot of more updates from apps. Messenger also works when phone is not used.
Below 15% battery I still have some issues on some apps (ring doorbell ) even tho I have configured android to override battery saving settings.
To me it seems that Duraspeed is a mistake in the andorid10 version for the phone carried over from the andriod 9 rom. Its supposed to only be on the android9 Rom for blackview.
I wish it was an easy way to just remove these proprietary power saving apps.
I have not tested if apps autostarts after reboot of the phone or if i have to manually start them.

Thanks for the response. Disabling Duraspeed seems to have worked.
I tried this : I fixed one line in the /system/build.prop file:
ro.freeme_freemanager=1
ro.hct_autostart_manager=1
In these lines you need to change 1 to 0
I tried a lot of solution, but nothing worked. This solution work perfectly!
Note: the launcher "Evie" v2.14.8 work well with or without this solution. This the only one application was working before a did this solution!
