As many people have know already, apps is still shutting down in aggressive manner even if they have been white listed. This is because there is a war between Vivos Imanager that try to shutdown everything to save power and androids own power management.
I will tell you how to stop the conflict between Imanager and Powermanagement, the solution is very easy but most people that complain have not noticed this detail.
This deserves its own thread cause this really solve all strange problems I have had with vivo nex (chromecast problems also solved now)
This is mainly important for push notification apps, video apps, and apps with chromecast ability.
We need to understand that Vivo have put their enchantments ONTOP of android, but android still is higher in hiracy but vivos apps trying to shut down stuff.
You must white list stuff both with the vivo settings and also android settings.
short repetition how to get push notifications work , you can either do it one by one in app info of each app or thru I manager and and permission manger)
Use whatever method you most comfortable with permission manger gives a good overview of app permissions.
Permission Push notification apps need is in app info screen
app Info/ Permission/single permissions: enable all in the device management section, autostart is the most important toggle. other options can depend on the app and its functionality but add permission to all in the top in the device management category.
App info/ notifications: enable the toggle as you desire decide if you want to see it on lockscreen, I can recomend to not enable "display notifcation details on locked screen" this is bad for privacy since people can read your messages if you dont guard your phone.
How to end the conflict between Imanager and Android Power mangement
As I said the solution is very easy but VERY important, since Vivos own software have lower hiracy in the system they Imanager and Android in conflict, this is why even though you have white listed everything in settings apps is still shutting down.
What you need to to is to go to control panel or task switcher and you will see a lock, if you doing it from the control panel which I recommend swipe down on the app you want to let stay in memory and not shut down out a lock on it. Now apps will not shut down, this is required for push notifications to work as intended also this must be enabled for all apps you want to chromecast from otherwise you will have to reload the app you casting from, this was a big problem with youtube before I was going back to the app and it was reloaded. This detail is very important and this is simply very bad design by vivo, since you basically have TWO power mangement systems in one system that dont work with each other. Now when I have added lock on all push notification and chromecast apps all seem to work just as good as any other phone. Keep Google app with lock on and home app on too if you want to make sure chromecast work, if you cast from browser then put lock on it too. Its easy to put a temporary lock on apps in control panel so you dont have to have it memory permanently keep in mind, also, you can shut down apps in task switcher...lock is only active as long as the app exist in task switcher.
Do you have problem with google sync services you can add apps in Imanager/autostart/startup( at the top)
Startup permission means (allow startup by other applications) When looking in the start up records screen it seem it is mostly the google sync services that want to start/awake other apps, if you have any specific problem that you think is related to google sync service enable, personally I have not enabled it cause I think the battery will take a big hit cause I see the android sync serivces want to wake up apps a lot. If Android sync service is for some how very important for you then enable it, but personally I think that the syncing is restricted is one of the reason why Vivo Nex have better battery then most.

what about the battery usage.. Are we still getting 6hrs SOT?
Ok gays the news so far is very positive.
So far I’m getting on time notifications from various app using like messenger,WhatsApp,Gmail,outlook for the first time since late August(before that didn’t have those issue)
Seems Vivo software becomes even more aggressively latest update and that results of notifications not working all time properly.
I’m continue monitoring it and report again after 1-2 days to be absolutely sure that this was the key answer for notifications issues most of as having especially after 3 disaster update got from earlier September til today.
Let me know that after uninstalling com.vivo.pem you should restart your phone to take effect 100%

Nice ,it take me one month to figure it out . At lease this method can let homescreen widget updating in background .
One more tip: If you want app to stay in background ,you should disable "battery optimization" which is a hidden menu in funtouchos. You can create a shortcut at Nova launcher.
Many cudos my friend.:good:
All day now from the morning all notifications working brilliantly from various app as I said.
I think we got the golden egg
Yes I know the battery optimization in battery settings.
I’ve already set from beginning my favorite app to exception of battery optimization.

So what's the status now? Are you still having issues? Did you remove the battery management files and had issues after your last update? Or were the issues strictly related to the changing of the password on the Vivo public account?

Any reason why the app "Mirror" refuses to leave my "frequent" apps list, even though I have only opened it once (after noticing that it refused to leave my frequent apps list) and haven't opened it for over a month? I know I could disable or uninstall (rooted) but I'd rather not for the one random situation where it would be useful...

How do remove the camera app?
There is still an underlying problem. Certain apps are in my frequent list even though I have never used them, and they push out apps that I use several times a day. Is there any way to "never show" certain apps in frequent?
Yes, I suppose the camera app would be just as good, so I will disable Mirror, but there are other persistent apps as well...

Hi guys!
So today I opened up my Facebook application and was graced with a beautiful new, fluid UI. I am a member of the Alpha Team, however I have rigorously tested this new interface and I cannot find any bugs with it what so ever.
Gone is the horrible sidebar that once was, the layout is extremely similar to that of the latest Twitter application, apart from the Settings are not on a three button menu.
I've uploaded some screenshots to my Dropbox, take a look here!

I have heard a few people moan about this in the past, but I have genuinely never had any issues with Facebook and battery. In the settings there is an option to the reduce the refresh rate to just once every four hours, I think you can even disable it completely to be honest. I have Facebook on my Note 3 though and with or without Facebook installed I pretty much get the exact same battery life.

Agreed. Ugly, and bored.
The UI work is fine. As mentioned, the wakelocks and battery use are terrible. Even when I turn off sync and notifications, Facebook causes more wakelocks than most other apps and uses a lot of data. They should address that but it seems they never will so I use the web sites.

totally agree!
It's server decided. Any issues with not seeing the new UI have nothing to do with the application. users who get the new newsfeed SHOULD get the new UI. Not definite in all cases though.
I "think" I got it
People are asking about this new UI all over the internet, and when my friend came asking why he still has the old UI on his Note 3, while I have the flat UI on my Note 2, I had to dig into it...
First of all, we both have exactly the same version of the apk from the Play store (6.0.0.28.28), I even sent him the apk from my device to be 100% sure. He logs into his account on his Note 3, gets old UI. I log into my account on his Note 3 after clearing data, I get the old UI as well (so it is not server/account related issues as mentioned before, we even have been sharing the same router at the time).
He logs into his account on my Note 2, he gets new UI. I log him out, force stop, clear all data, and log into my account, I get the OLD UI !! Weird right ?!
I looked everywhere in the settings, maybe I made a toggle or something before ... then I remembered I don't see the "Home" settings under the FB app settings. I had "Home" installed previously and then removed. So I installed "Home" and activated it. Logged into Facebook and voila, the new UI !
I logged off again, force stopped, cleared data, and removed "Home" entirely. Logged in again, same old UI. Installed "Home" one more time, activated it, logged into FB, and the new UI came up. I uninstalled "Home", logged out (didn't clear data), and logged in again, and I still got the new UI. So I am guessing it has to be related to the Facebook "Home" app, somehow it leaves a setting in FB app data to enable the new UI !
Tried doing the same on my friend's N3, but "Home" is for funny reasons isn't compatible with his device as of now. Sent him the apk and installed it, it nagged that it isn't compatible with this device, so we couldn't truly "activate" it. He still has the old UI.
I hope this casts a light on the problem of not having the new UI and helps others. I only tried it on a couple of "similar" devices, so your feedback is also appreciated
What was your exact process for setting up the home launcher? I have a sgs4 and tried this, no dice.

I read a few threads here..the following are my queries...
hi all. im a new user of a huawei handset and a bit confused with few things..
1- notification sounds for telegram/whatsapp are inconsistent...sometimes i hear the notifications other times they dont sound off..the other important point is, my messages dont appear until i open the app (or click on it to open)....( there a few threads on this issue here and it seems like the problem has not been solved as i tried some of the offered solutions but didnt work)...
2- in the app drawer mode, how can i get the google voice command widget (ok google) on the screen? the widget disappeared when i went to the app drawer mode and it was not available in the widgets section.
3- there is an app called notepad which is huawei based i assume but its mainly for reminders. is there another app by huawei dedicated for taking notes which synchronizes with outlook??
4- does the app store close when downloading a large file? it happened to me everytime with certain large apps. anyone experienced the same? maybe a bug.
5- a HTC related question as someone may have tried it. is it possible to install the APK for blinkfeed on the mate 9? i tried but didnt work...anyone tried it with any success?
6. the final question i have... how do you get to see message notifications on your lock screen like on HTC phones for example??!! Is a similar function available ala HTC??!!
in general, the phone is very good. it has some nifty gestures which are actually handy and can be great in reducing time needed for doing things like the double knuckle action for screen freeze. also, the split screen and cut. very useful. didnt even know about it until i bought it!!!
as opposed to samsung gimmicks those are useful on the mate 9.
i ordered the Chinese version as i wanted 128gb + 6 gb ram.
thanks and advance.
> 5- a HTC related question as someone may have tried it. is it possible to install the APK for blinkfeed on the mate 9? i tried but didnt work...anyone tried it with any success?
I think theres an HTC launcher floating around. Have you checked apkmirror.com?
For Blinkfeed you'd need HTC Sense's framework. I found this, https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...blinkfeed-plugins-devices-08-03-2015-t3049438
Edit: It's post #2
Thanks for the HTC tip. Will try it afterwards
I found a solution to my second query. I deleted and reinstalled google now and somehow both google widgets appeared so its all good now.
However, the two with my highest concerns are queries 1 & 4.
I installed the apk for blinkfeed but the one for the social media were not available from mega!!
How do i actually use the sense/blinkfeed now i installed it??
App Store crash when downloading a large file
This is due to you didn't turn on storage access for google play store.
I don't know why the default permission for storage was off, but apparently if you turn that back on, it will fix the app store crash bug.

Thanks. I forgot to update the above post. I have done that and it was fixed.
Also the OK Google thing seems to be working after tweakings in the permissions etc.
I couldn't get the HTC blink feed to work. It seems like I have it but I don't know where to go to activate it!!
The big problem seems to be the notifications.
I seem to be having a weird issue with my S8+. Whenever I open a Facebook notification, instead of going into the already open Facebook app and refreshing to the Notification point, I get a new Facebook app instance launched (up to 3 at a time).
Also the erratic notifications are not visible in the main app, even if I refresh.
I have only one Facebook account, no third party FB apps. Just the Facebook (not Beta) app and FB Messenger app (and that works OK).
Given that the FB has burned through half my 2GB data allowance this month I'm inclined to blame some of it on the triple instance eating through resources.
I've been reading a lot on how the real FB app is a total battery hog and Data hog due to running background processes. I can't comment on your odd issue when opening FB but suggest you consider an FB alternative. I'm trying out Friendly for FB. It includes Messenger too. Seems to be way less intrusive (running in background) but I can't quote any stats for you. I am seeing better battery life now. I don't look too much at data usage since I have unlimited. Good luck!

It's because the Facebook app sucks. I would suggest turning any auto play/upload options to save data by the way.

Yeah that was burning a lot of people when Facebook first enabled it and of course it's on by default in the app when you install it clean.
Same issue!
I'm also a Nexus 6P upgrader, and I'm experiencing the same issue! It's actually the ONLY annoyance I have with the 8+, though I was also quite fond on generic Android, so I'm working to adapt my phone settings to that experience, as much as I can...
I'll be interested to see if there's a solution to this. Currently, I'm just avoiding clicking on the notifications, or remembering to close the extra Facebook app(s) if I do.

I have at times used many alternatives like Friendly, especially with my Nexus 6P which had an awfull battery, but keep going back to FB apps. Seem more featured and polished to me.
Yeah I have this too not seen a fix yet
Same thing happening to me. Are you also getting the Facebook status bar issue where it's going wonky all the time?
I think as a workaround if you just launch FB app and go to notifications within the app you are fine. As you said if you go from a FB notification it seems to open a new FB process which is definitely not good for battery or memory.

Problem is the app doesn't show the (same) notifications I get from SystemUI. So I get different notifications from Android and different from the app. It's like they are fighting each other.
I tried disabling the Samsung preinstalled Facebook packages but the issue remains.
I seem to have resolved the issue.
First a couple of notes.
I've had the phone since May. I got the June and July updates, but issue was not resolved.
I did a full reset and issue persisted.
I did a full reset without any restores from Google or Samsung. Didn't even login to my accounts. Same thing.
So I did a full flash of the latest official ROM using Odin. In the process I used the European unbranded CSC instead of my provider's (CYV Cyta Vodafone).
Problem solved. So apparently it was something to do with that specific branch. Minor market would also explain why I seem to be the only one reporting this.
Hmmmm! I seem to have this problem. Not rooted on a G955W. Anymore clues?
I do have it as well
Same issue on note 8
I seem to have a similar issue where Facebook will have more than one instance running after a while. I can alternate between the two instances running by pushing home and then going back into the app so for instance it will be in a video where I left off and then when I push home it will go to a an instance where I am commenting on a post and then when I push home again and go back it will go back to the video. The only way to temporarily fix it is to force quit the app for me.
I've changed my main browser from Opera to Kiwi but still retain Chrome for certain functions that I like on it but don't use it often because it's a battery killer. However, every day I have to reset my default because Chrome keeps on opening links even though it's not set as the default in settings. This morning was the most annoying as it now showed up as the default even though I didn't change anything. How and why is this happening and how can I prevent it reoccurring?

You haven't done what they told you too, it's normal the problem persists....
Although you don't use it, it might be causing some problems that you cannot anticipate.
Try the following:
-> go to acessibility settings and see if you have any of them "off" that should be "on"
-> go to the battery consuption ranking and enable the browsere that you like, disabling the others
-> go to default browser and change it to what you want
-> restart the phone and see what is your default browser

-I haven't done that because he's talking nonsense.
-Accessibility isn't relevant to this issue.
-Battery consumption isn't relevant as Chrome isn't there since I seldom use it.
-Default browser is set to Opera both within Opera and the phone menu but Chrome somehow changes to the default on its own.
I don't have this problem on any of my other devices. It can only be a bug with Funtouch.

If you work in the area you understand that sometimes unrelated pieces cause bugs and software problems that you can't anticipate...we are just trying to rule those out
Accessibility might be relevant if you have some app that has the permissions to change default launchers (such as NovaLauncher, etc) and might be able to re-default your browser app. Check it
Every app is on the background power saver definition until you choose otherwise. Just go there and check Opera and uncheck Chrome, try it ffs...
if you want some help don't just post reasons not to try it....try it and then report the results so we can help you further...if you knew the stupidities that I had to do in my NEX to get some softwares going wright (Button remapers, cursor controls, automate,...) you wouldn't be arguing that "that is stupid or unrelated"

I'll answer your last statement first.
-I'm using the international version so any hoops you jumped through on your Chinese version don't really apply to my phone.
-Chrome isn't in my background power saver since it's regarded as a system app. I've forced stoppand cleared data on it and stopped auto updates but it still rears it's head again.
- None of my current accessibility settings can do this, so that's ruled out.
I have most of my devices set up identically and have used similar setups on all my phones ranging from Asus to ZTE (A-Z), I've used a lot of phones with my default browser being Opera mostly. This started after the Pie update.
Whilst I appreciate the help, the other guy told me to uninstall Chrome when I explicitly said I don't want to get rid of it. So yeah, he was way off the mark.
Well I think I've found a workaround but it's not really a solution. I've kept Opera locked in recent apps and it defaults there now. This is despite Chrome still showing up as the default on it's own. Very strange behavior.
Thanks for the input but if anyone has a solution or explanation it would be much appreciated.

I think your problem is specific to your device, I have been using Opera as my default browser since few days and it's still my default browser and I let chrome auto update and also use it regularly but it does not effect Opera.

I think you're right.
