Weather widget on bixby not working. - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Many times when I access the bixby screen the weather card will keep updating without showing any info and it stays like that for days and its draining the battery. Any help?

Hello,
No problem for me, a little silly question:
Did you activate the gps?

check the disabled apps on your pacakge disabler pro. I am assuming you have that and have disabled a bunch of apps..

Any way to disable this app completely,
I have disabled all sensor through the setting app, but still Shealth drain much batt althouh i am not using it.
Thanks
Any idea? Still getting the weekly report and s health running in the backround although every setting is disabled including notifications
go to s health on watch , then in setting in health nudges try to disable everything and then roll down and turn the auto HR off as well
also you have to disable workout detection in same menu
in this case you will not get any notification about s health and you get more battery

I know it may be obvious but did you try to shut down the watch after disabling everything then restart and have autostart apps option off?

Where is autostart - do you mean "Auto Open Apps"? And how do you disable a single app from this setting - I thought it was all or none?

I've disabled S-Health in my Galaxy S7 and stopped all notifications but I still get weekly S-Health notices on my S3-Frontier. And I have everything I can possibly find relating to S-Health (nudges, etc) disabled on the watch too.
And BTW, I cannot find anything called autostart unless you mean "Auto Open Apps" on the watch. Frustrating!

Yes, Frustrating.
I'll wait for the next week to see if i still get the weekly report.
Any way, i think i solved the problem cause right now its disabled and not running in the backround. Right now its not in the list off the apps battery usage as u can see in the attached photo.
You should go to the S7 settings, applications, application manager, choose s health and press on disable icon and force stop.
After 1 week still geting the weekly report.
Anyone succeeded disable this annoying feature?

Honor 6x stock killing apps that it shouldn't

I have a call recorder app and that thing keeps getting terminated even though it's in the protected app list.
Any solution?
Thanks!
It could be that the call recorder app you installed is not support for use with either the current version of android installed on your device, or it's just not compatible with your device entirely.

It's this one never had a problem with it with my s7. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder
I disabled battery optimization for this app , i'll see if it helps.

Try using another call recorder. The current call recorder you are using probably isn't compatible with the Honor 6X.

Glad you solved your problem. But I wonder why would the battery optimization software cause problems with the call recorder app that you are using....
guest user doubt
In Honor 6x is guest mode available or not???? and by using only pin can we split two user accounts i.e(user and guest) or else can we use also fingerprint for two users...please reply me back

I know this is an old thread but I'm having the same issue. Even if I lock a program in recent apps, it will still close at some point. I have to reopen my podcast app and pdf reader on a daily basis (sometimes multiple times) And I have battery optimization off.

Go to settings -> Battery -> Close apps after screen lock and untick the apps you dont want the OS to close. I have seen apps running in the background for days, sometimes I even forget that the app was in background until I open it for something.
Yes, I've already done this too. (Sorry for not mentioning it.) It's weird though, it seems like it only keeps the last 3 or 4 recent apps max after a certain period of time. I like this phone but this is one is starting to bug me a lot.
Anyway, Pocket Casts, ezPDF Reader, TuneIn Radio Pro and Music Folder Player all are identified as power intensive and get killed, even if locked and unselected from lock screen close or the power intensive apps screen. I have all power saving options turned off as I rarely get below 70%.
Note: I've been poking around some more and ended up in app settings and in the Advanced/Special Access, it looks there is a "Exempt from battery optimization" section. I'm going to put my reader and music apps in and see what happens.

Help "All apps associated with this action have been turned off, blocked....

Good Morning all:
I keep getting a notice that states "All apps associated with this action have been turned off, blocked or not installed" every time I go back to the home screen or when I depress the home button from the lockscreen. Another issue I have noticed is for my Microsoft OneDrive in my Playstore list. It said to Uninstall or Enable. I uninstalled it and now it only shows "Enable". I press "Enable" but it won't do anything. I went to the "Settings" then "Apps" and I changed the view to "Disabled" and nothing shows.
Any ideas on what I have done wrong.
Thanks for all your help.

What's the fix
After same problem (with diff app) with my S9, I FINALLY figured out what happened/how to fix. I had downloaded disabler AND an xml file that disabled bloatware/"unnecessary" system stuff listed therein. Turns out that the xml contained stuff that matters if you use smartwatch, some NFC, etc. Only I'd set disabler to *hide system files*, which was where I ultimately found/enabled solution. I ain't mad at the disabler (killed off those damned text stickers), just a humbler and wiser user. Good luck.
okay so I had disabled the cricket wifimanager and that cause my home button to be disabled

Honor 6X automatically killing background services [Rooted]

Hey Guys,
I bought a brand new Honor 6x yesterday and rooted it ( I followed a thread from XDA). Unlocked bootloader, flashed twrp and then installed SuperSU. I want this device to use one and only one app which I have developed. Problem is that, after starting the app, one background service is started, but the Honor 6X is killing them randomly. Very frequent. Even the onDestroy method is not getting called in that scenario.
I know that when we remove the app from task manager, the services gets killed in the Honor 6X, but in my case, I just minimise the app and then also the services gets killed.
Is this something related to rooting? I tried rooting Nexus 5 and in that also, the services gets killed.
Any help will be helpful.

It's not an app man it's EMUI settings menu, battery sub menu. "Batteria" stands for Battery in english. Just browse to settings -> battery and you'll find the same section of my screenshot.

No. Sadly it didn't work out as expected. After adding app in that list, now the services are not getting killed but at the same time, the services are not getting called correctly.
Like, I call a particular service every 1 minute, when the screen is turned on, it works perfectly. But as soon as the screen gets off/ or the app is minimized, the service starts randomly. Like sometime it will get fired after 2 min, sometime 4 min and rarely at a mentioned frequency i.e 1 min.
Any idea why this is happening. The frequency in which the service is called is very important for my application.
Thanks.

No other ideas at the moment...
Go to settings>battery, go to settings icon on top right, make sure everything off in there. I only turn on keep mobile data on during sleep (keep whatsapp always online).
Then go to settings>memory & storage>storage cleaner, go to settings icon on top right and turn off auto clean.
Lastly go to settings>apps, choose the apps that u want always active, go to battery, make sure system wake up on, after that go to write system settting, make it yes.
Remember to restart phone after settings applied.
See if it works.

GMAIL: Any way to remove the delay in checking/alerting of new emails?

Several years ago Gmail alerted me on my phone immediately when an email came in - these days it can take as much as 10 minutes using the Gmail app to alert me of a new mail because of power saving functions. Those minutes can end up costing me money - a lot of it!
BTW, it doesn't matter if I am on wifi or my carrier's network.
I've tried googling this but am finding nothing but old articles from years ago that no longer apply.
Does anyone know a definite 100% sure-fire way to get the immediate notifications back?

Have you turned off battery optimisation for gmail? Something i find works well is pinning the apk in the recently opened apk menu.
Also try going into battery, battery optimisation, advanced optimisation and making sure the sleep standby is off

I have the same Problem with my OnePlus 7 T Pro, I tried the same but without any result.
For whatever reason OnePlus decided to load Gmail as a System App. I was able to uninstall it, and reinstall it from the Play Store and it STILL installs as a system app...thus...no way to adjust battery optimization.
To lock it in memory you need to open the app, then act like you want to go back an app...you know drag it up to the middle of the screen where you can scroll left and right through recent apps. When Gmail is on the screen tap the three dots in the upper right and choose "lock". This is supposed to keep it in memory so that the OS doesn't remove it from RAM and "maybe" your notifications will come in as soon as a new email arrives. YMMV
There is a Magisk package that disabled any kind of optimization for Gmail. However, while it made Gmail display "Disabled" if I checked the app, now I cannot even see that setting anymore.
But yes even previous OxygenOS versions have suffered from the very same issue. People been asking for a fix for years. Only permanent fix is to reinstall Gmail as user app or use a custom rom.
Ps.: Look for "OxygenOS" within magisk to find the module. Back then you coulf also use an app like Nova to go into the Battery Optimization list, and disable the optimization. That also worked, needed no root. But it was reset after each reboot. So one time you forgot? Boom.
I bought my Oneplus 7t Pro yesterday and had this push problem with Gmail. But I also had problems with microsoft authenticator and Google Duo. Yesterday evening I did a full wipe (Hard Reset) and now gmail works properly and also the other apps.
