EMUI taking control of closing apps - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
So just like the title says emui is closing apps especially audio related apps even though I've told to exempt those apps from battery optimization.
The apps specifically are:
Pandora
SoundCloud
Pocket Cast
I have factory reset the phone just to make sure I haven't done anything weird while exempting those application. They still get closed when I lock the screen.
Another thing to note, when the app closes it might sometimes (especially Pandora) relaunch itself and be fine with the screen off. Other times I have to go back in restart the app and then on screen lock it might work but there's no guarantees.
Just wondering if any of y'all have had this issue before and how did y'all go around fixing it.

I had also issue when I hearing songs in saavn app.
go to phone manager , there swipe left you will find lock screen cleanup there choose the app which you want to run even the screen is off:good:

New music app 4.0.9

The new music app is available, for the people outside The U.S.A. who cannot download it, here it is :
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/48110118/com.google.android.music.4.0.9.apk
Im using this app since this morning - works great; no bugs found yet.
also got it this morning (though using VPN, appearing american)
Updated mine today, this fixed the pause when the screen would go to sleep. Now the rest of the album continues to the end, no more having to push the power button after each song.
Do you have to be rooted to install this ?

There won't be any store, as the music store is / will be incorporated into the Market
Thank you so much! The default music app has been glitching around for me ever since I bought my Transformer but your app works perfectly!

App not closing when lock screen

I only have allowed whatsapp, weather, and wunderlist app to run when screen is locked and i noticed for example when i run Instagram and i lock my screen the app still running for hours.....
The only way to close apps not allowed to run is to clean all apps under the "recent apps menu".
This does not happen in p9 lite for example, without need to clean the recent apps tab, when I turned off the screen all the apps not allowed closed completely
Is this a bug or its normal?
use greenify could be a wake lock
When you close an app, it's important to use the back button rather than the home button.
go developers settings and change background process to minimum might help you out to get less apps running into the background
but just for info . its healthy to keep apps running in background even if it taking ram it will stabilize your multitasking ! .

I'm having the same problem. It's a shame that so many members chimed in with no solution but instead tell you that having apps running in the background is best. The fact is, this is a feature that can be configured on the Honor 8 but it currently isn't working whereas it used to work. I don't want to keep apps like browser, games, moviepass, or apps that I don't care about notifications anyway such as Snapchat. All I want is to just lock my phone and have comfort knowing that all the apps I wanted closed will be closed.
So the question remains, has anyone found a solution for this? Is this just a problem with conflicting settings configurations? If you don't have a solution, please don't respond.

does anyone know where this lockscreen came from

Okay so I don't know where this came from cuz I didn't download any apps recently but this stupid lockscreen started popping up and it's killing my cpu. Can anyone tell me what app it's from so I can disable it?

That's probably from 360 security or cleanmaster, before you say it, I understand that when you first installed 360 or Cleanmaster, it didn't change your lockscreen, but it may have updated the app and the lockscreen was part of the updated app. Remove 360 security and Cleanmaster anyway because "security" apps are all useless junk anyway, viruses don't exist in android the way that the app makers would have you believe. These crappy security apps and optimizers are all junk that only drain your battery and slow the device down, they are not actually beneficial, they do more harm than good. BTW, when you're on the web and you get pages that say you have a virus and prompts to install one of these security apps, you don't actually have a virus, they just want you to install their free app so they can make money on the ads that come with them.
You have several "security" apps and you don't really "need" any of them. Android works by permissions, nothing can attack or invade your device unless you give it permission to, whether you realize it or not (such as clicking links or opening MMS pics or opening email attachments). Being a wise user and only opening things you know are safe is all you really need.

At a Glance not working properly...

It's not showing the weather...
Just reads for eg, 'Sunday, 22 Dec'
Isn't it followed by the temperature?
Thanks

It works perfectly if I use lawnchair 2 launcher. But I don't wanna use that.
check the google app. goto settings/notifications and then current weather. my was the same as yours and i changed something but don't remember exactly what so that might have been it.

yeah, i agree. it's frustrating for me that i can't remember things. maybe when you're near 70 you'll have perfect memory, i don't.
Update the google app, if its already updated to latest then join the beta and update, will fix it after reboot

OT but
But does anyone know a way to lock screen ( like by double tap) without the power button and without any launcher or rooting.

I'm using nova so that works

You are not alone. I started having the same problem (occasionally) since the latest system update (December 5, 2019). Plus apps no longer auto-update (never), even when I am on Wi-Fi. None of that was an issue prior to mentioned update.
For weather not showing I suspect app gets "power-optimized".
For app auto-update not working - there are multiple reports for that over the past year for Pixel and other phones with no clear solution. I tried clearing Storage and Cache for Google Play Services but it didn't help.

just checking that you have given google app location permission and location is on.
another thing is i'm also using nova launcher in a very minimal way but that might have something to do with it.
i discovered by searching that it's a pretty common issue. but if it's something you want and you can have it by using a different launcher try out a different launcher for a week, maybe. good luck in finding a solution.

I found the solution. I'm on basic phone launcher ( no launcher installed or rooting done).
Just enable location on and go to your Google account and turn location history on.
Then restart with location turned on.
It's there now.
Found sort of a solution
It isn't the best solution, but it works (at least for me it does). I found that if I put another at a glace widget on another screen (so there are 2 now, one on my home screen, one on another), it works and shows weather on both. If I remove it, the weather goes away again.. Hoping this is some sort of clue to get this fixed permanently.

Question Any way to stop gallery app suggestions?

Can't find setting to disable it. Anyone know if there is a package spesific for that function so I can disable it?
1) tell your brain to miss that icon ( work for me )
2) close your eyes and click any icons ( u can get it after 20 attempts )
3) install OnePlus Gallery ( almost the same as Samsung Gallery )
