Listing Battery optimisation troubles (apps stop, after locking phone) - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

If you have apps that stop , when your screen goes black, manually (power button), automaticlly ( depends of your sleep settings), or after a notification.
But you have already desactivate the "close after screen locked option" for this app...
Please report here with your firmware and phone version, the apps affected and the one working well for you.
Settings pages Screenshots would be helpfull.
Maybe Honor could do something abou it...

My case :
Honor 8 - FRD-L09 - B389 firmware version (rooted)
I had the same problem with B381. I think, but not absolutely sure, problems started with update from emui 4 to emui 5 (I don't remenber the build version).
So, I have an app "Podcast addict", 80 percent of time when my phone screen goes black 3-4 sec after, the app stop playing, same problem after receiving a notification when listening... It s happening when I lock the screen, manually (power button), automaticlly (going to sleep mode after 2 min, or other setting), or after a notification.
I have desactivate the "close after screen locked option" for this app :

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Set to "don't close" in "lock screen cleanup" options :
screenshot 2
When I use the "optimizer" widget, the app stay alive :
screenshot 3
But when I use the "optimize" option in battery settings, my app is killed, and sound stop :
screenshot 4 and 5
When I look at the "Battery settings" ( the gearing, up right), my app isn't in the "power intensive app history", and neither in "history of closed app" :
screenshot 6, 7 and 8
My temporary fix, not allways working : I hit play, manually lock the screen, unlock (fingerprint) and lock manually again... But still, when there is a notification 2-3 seconds after my app stop playing....
:silly::silly:

That might have been the solution all along. Remember I told u that I didn't have an issue like that. It turns out that for me chrome didn't have that option turned on.
Great to see that it is finally working ....

Glad to hear it's working for you. I know how frustrated I was with Pocketcasts closing when the screen locked. It was just luck that I stumbled across this solution. Hopefully this solves your problem completely.

Does the app works if you disabled Chrome?

I don't have this issue with apps such as whatsapp...etc

[APP] KeepItOn

KeepItOn (KIO) is an application designed to end the scourge of the screen turns off while we are reading or watching something. So annoying, at least for me…
How it works
KIO detect any small movements and prolongs the time to turn off the screen, like if you have touched the screen. Even if the screen turns off, you can always shake to wake you up during a time set by you, default is 5 seconds, and by shake I mean move slightly.
Please test it, rate it and give your feedback.
I will try to attend possible requests as soon as I can.

Thanks great idea as it alwasy annoy me when screen turns off while i am reading, willl give it a try I hope it wont consume too much battery
very useful, thank you. keep your work!
How is the battery consumption?
This goes on back process yes?
how this will affect on battery?
Thank you Sir :good: .. Works good on Lenovo A3000 with andrid 4.2.2
Will motion keep it awake if it's in your pocket and you're walking, or does it use the proximity sensor to prevent that? Will the motion of a moving car keep the screen from turning off?

Yes, this is a background process that reads the accelerometer. However when screen is off the service is running but it is doing nothing.
I am using for two weeks and have not noticed any significant change with the battery consumption.

Thanks for the app and reply, will try and post the feedback.
Is there something like this for Xposed?
"Pocket mode" added.
Due to all the requests that I have had, I decide to add a feature that check the proximity sensor in order to detect if phone is in the pocket, prevent that way that phone stay alive forever in the pocket, draining all the battery.
Please test it and help me make KeepItOn better.
Happy new year everyone!
I've previously turned on the app, set it to "auto start", rebooted & now I've noticed that it was turned off. Maybe this was only to me. By the way, great app.
sir you deserved lots of thanks from me it's great app
I can see advantages to this app and I can see disadvantages too...
Is there any way to make this "app dependant", so like it will only keep the screen on when compared to a whitelist of apps, otherwise it will leave the screen off as normal? For example, it would be very useful to have the screen stay on for reading from a browser, but not when my phone is just displaying the launcher homescreen? I know it is probably asking the earth or close to the impossible but I thought i would ask anyway
New update available.
- Notification Icon
- Minor bug fixes
This update is a big update for android 4.4.2 users since there is a bug on that android version, for that users "Notification Icon" must be always on. More info here.

The first objective of the app is the simplicity, but I will though about that feature and see if it's worth.
I've got notification icon enabled in settings but I don't see the icon in the status bar. Running 4.4.4 on a Sprint Moto X.

App Optimization notification is annoying!

It pops up once every couple days and just won't stop, even after adjusting the app optimization settings. Just keeps informing me of a feature I'm fully aware of. Anyway to stop this?
You can go to app notification option by pull down your notification bar and long press on the apps and turn on "block notifications"
What does it want from me?! Is there a setting, besides shutting it off, to disable that?
Oh nice!
I always forget about that feature, thanks!

No, I want the optimization feature active. I DON'T want the notification every 2 days. It keeps reminding me about the optimization feature as if I've never touched it. That on off you're talking about turns the whole feature on and off.
Briankbl is right, long pressing the notification does not give the option to disable the notification like most other apps. I've also been wanting to know a way to disable the notifications without disabling the feature. It's annoying for me too!
You can only hide the lockscreen notifications. Hopefully, at receiving Taskbar notifications every other day, it'll only be 10 or 20 more notifications before we OTA to 6.0 and don't have to deal with it anymore lol.
Any idea if this *beeping* notification is actually still active in 6.0? Or are we just hoping it goes away...because it's aggravating. So very, very aggravating...

Hopefully Samsung disables/removes that part of their "Smart Manager" then. We can but hope, I guess...or has anyone seen a leaked 6.0 Note 5 ROM?

Whatever - this only started impacting some users 2 days ago, so these other threads have not addressed the issue or closed it yet. (Yes, this is a dev. forum not a user forum.)
I take it, the notifications cannot be disabled without disabling the entire process.

hmmmm what do you think I was responding too because your answer to me makes no sense. but OK... Have a good day
It's been pissing me off as well, along with the daily volume notification that leaves me on my motorcycle every day wondering why my bluetooth headset is silent. So is this Samsung's meddling again, or is it Google this time?
I have the same issue. Since the last update on my Galaxy S4 (GT-I9515). The notification every few days is annoying as hell.
So annoying!!!
I threw my phone against the wall and smashed it because of that stupid annoying notification.
(Well not really but I feel like it)
I finally just turned that stupid feature off. It's not worth the annoyance.

[S7 Edge] Use home button as capacitive

Dear community,
I come from Jailbroken iPhone 6 Plus with installed an useful application to use Home button as capacitive. Is there something similar for S7 Edge? I tried EasyHome from Play Store, but I have to restart it often because Android stop the service. Is there, for example, a xposed mod or something to blacklist EasyHome and keep it running?
Thank you
Lucas

Yes, already did it, but battery optimization kill app not used in the last 3 days, I believe not EasyHome case.
Anyway, EasyHome is not properly responsive, that's why also I'm searching a "root app" alternative.

I've got it turned of. It never stops in my case. Not even after three days. Just to be sure. Does your settings in this screen for easy home looks the same as mine?

Exactly the same as yours with easyhome and whatsapp disabled :laugh:
Ok, thank you for your feedback, so I have to search on other applications setting (like clean master or boorst+), most probably they kell the easyhome process.

That are some apps that could interfere with the app process. Also greenify and amplify is a app that could kill it. Also try to look into smart manager... Maybe if you use that that it gets killed

BTW, @Lord Spectre, check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/light-taping-instead-pressing-home-t3485221
There is a version there that works with the screen off, but I'm having the SAME issue. The app has been being killed when the screen is off.

Yes, the main purpose of Easy Home is use Home as capacitive button but only when the screen is on, so, you have to press the button to access lock screen and unlock your phone. For me is ok, since checking all the time for your fingerprint can be result in battery consumption.

Actually, the issue isn't this: only the screen off touch isn't working, the app is actually running... Sometimes it work, sometimes it doesn't.

Install Launch Manager? That might make it stop:victory:
seriously though have you factory reset the watch? What are the procedures have you tried to fix this? Is your phone custom or stock? More info is better

Yep, Tired that! Done factory resets on both the phone and watch, all stock firmware. Thanks!
What happens if you let it install? Don't you think it's probably something you need? I can't remember since I haven't reset mine in a few weeks

Nah its just that annoying multi app screen, The app pops up when installed which makes me think its the accelometer.
Doing a Google search for it I don't see anything for Launch Manager other than a 3rd party app for the app circle with all your apps. No aftermarket apps installed?

Check All Hardware ( Sensor, speaker, Echo Test, Camera) – *#0*#

That just brings up a full screen green keyboard.
Which watch face do you have installed? This looks like a stupid pop up ad from some stupid free app...
Weird, something definitely up. I would investigate getting a replacement. "green screen" is one of the color tests but the keyboard is gray with white characters. Scrolling up and down displays different tests.

General OneUI 4.1 march broke accessibility

I use an accessibility app from here that allows long press volume up + down to activate and deactivate flashlight. Worked fine even screen off no aod on OneUI 4.0 Feb but after updating to 4.1 it barely works and only with screen on.
So, I decided to test other stuff and yeah it completely broke accessibility.
The touch and hold delay setting does nothing, it always takes like 2-3 seconds for anything to activate even when set to very short 0.3s, no longer works screen off at all.. GG Samsung..
Lol, my one N10+ is still happily running on Pie.
Upgrades and updates can and do break things.
It's a Samsung tradition... Samsung will eventually patch it.
Try clearing the system cache as that may correct it.

Clearing cache didn't help but thanks for the tip. And thanks Samsung for not allowing us to access recovery without the usb-c plugged in.
It doesn't work on aod either. Only when fully waking the device. I wonder if this is intended behavior or just a huge bug.
Can anyone else on a S21/+/Ultra with march 4.1 test accessibility shortcuts on screen off state?

Your welcome.
Try in safe mode to rule out a 3rd party app interference.
Try clearing the data in the accessibility apk.
Turn off Developer options temporarily.
Play with it, there's probably a fix or work around.

Did that, no difference. I did figure out what Samsung did actually.
They changed it so that long press volume up + down is 3 seconds and ignores the long press delay setting completely. And it also no longer works screen off while it used to work fine.
They also changed auto rotate sensitivity which makes it rotate with the slightest motion which is annoying as hell when reading something I'm bed for example as it constantly rotates..
Rolling back to Feb 4.0...
Do you have com.samsung.SMT disabled or removed?

This is one reason why I almost never upgrade or update. I don't like rude surprises.
Still running on Android 9 and 10; if it runs well I leave it be.
Funny what you say about the display flipping too easy; I get tired of waiting for it to transition.
They should have user settings for that by now.
Wonder if there's a 3rd party app to dial that in?
