[Fixed, I hope...] The Settings app is displaying wrong settings names - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

Hey everyone!
I have a problem with OnePlus 7 Pro's Settings App.
After last software update (Oxygen OS 10.0.7GM21BA) Settings app gone crazy... I've found a temporary fix by updating app and uninstalling app's updates, but after reboot the problem reappears...
It seems to be solved by it's own, but this happened and the last time and got back...
Let's hope that it doesn't come back again

Can you disable auto-update? I've had to do that in the past when some updates broke applications. I'm not sure that would work with settings, but if you can do it, I'd give it a try.

I am having facebook messenger problems

Hi everyone.
My wife has an S8 and recently she has noticed that she hasn't been receiving notification on Facebook messenger.
Me thinking it was an easy problem to solve went into the phone setting clicked on notifications and found that the notifications for the app were all on how they should be.
Then I went into the app settings and checked there and everything was right.
Then I restarted the phone and it still wouldn't work.
Then I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and still no success
I even got my phone out an S7E and checked how the settings should look on mine and hers matched my settings.
All her other apps are working except this one.
Am I missing something here, because it doesn't make any sense why it's not working. I performed a stock flash on the device about a month ago to 3 software, so she could have wifi calling but I don't see how this could of affected this one app and none of the others.
If anyone has any suggestions here I am all ears because I am out of ideas.
Make sure that it's not being forced close by the S8's onboard memory manager... sometimes it shuts down apps and you won't get notifications. Double check in the battery settings (you can get there from settings or the swipe panel) to see if the Messenger app itself is active.

Hi people, I seem to have solved the problem.
I followed the suggestion and went to the battery setting. In those setting there was an option for unmonitored and monitored apps. When checking the list of apps that were in these setting everything was right, including the messenger app in unmonitered app section. I removed it from that list and didn't bother adding it back.
Tested.........and it worked....I even got other people to message her in different situtations and it worked and still works.....not added it back in to the list yet, as long as it keeps working I prob won't

Default Launcher Problem

Hi all,
I'm totally stuck with this one, I'm using NovaLauncher as my default home app, at least i want to, but it keeps getting reset / reverted to the Huawei Home app no matter what i seem to do whenever i reboot the phone and nobody seems to have an soloution, that i can find anyway.
I've changed default app (apps > settings > default app settings > launcher) and (default app settings > special access > write system settings) switching NovaLauncher to Yes / Huawei Home to No. I've also tried "Aggressive Desktop" in NovaLauncher Settings > Advanced, none of which solve it.
I've read before that having Bluetooth enabled can cause this, mine just happens whenever i reboot, it's EXTREMELY annoying. I've only noticed this problem after i had a few OTA updates. I'm currently on the latest update it's giving me which is BLN-L21C432B377.
Really hoping somebody has a method to fix this, it's drivin me crazy
Thanks!
Strange. I am on EMUI 8 and no such problems. Maybe try reinstalling the app?

I've seen this problem be posted a couple of times on XDA but they were in different Honor device sections i think. I'll try reinstalling now and let you know how it goes :good:

FWIW, I'm having the same issue. I feel like it started with the August (July?) security update. I haven't tried a reinstall of Nova because I'd rather have to take 1 minute to set Nova as default with every time I reboot vs. take the time big hit to get all my other preferences (desktop, icons, etc) sorted following a remove/reinstall of Nova. But yes, it's driving me crazy, too.

Well bugger me sideways lol, sometimes you end up doing all the more complicated things and neglect the most obvious! I reinstalled Nova Launcher and everything has been fine since, rebooting etc, working like it should, cheers Mannan :good:
Hey hereusethis try reinstalling too and yeah i'm sure it started happening around the same time frame for me too! Don't worry it's painless, in the Nova Launcher Settings scroll right to the bottom you'll see Backup & Import Settings. Make a backup there, uninstall the app / reinstall and go back down to Backup but this time choose Import, all your settings etc will come straight back
So far so good, hope it sticks, like i said though it always reset the launcher after rebooting the phone, hasn't done that and i rebooted plenty to test it. Thanks again :good:
Glad to help.

Pie update problem

Hi all, I'm a very unhappy bunny right now, bought the P20 last year on Vodafone UK. All was fab, loved it. I received an OTA pie update and now many of my apps aggressively closer in the background if they're off focus. Particularity hard for browser pages with a login. The app reloads and I have to log in, again, and again. It has rendered it effectively unable to multi task. (Much like me really). Even as I type this I'm afraid of losing the screen as I received WhatsApp messages. What am I doing wrong? It must be met since I can find no other instances of my problem anywhere.
Cheers
Mark
Anyone able to offer any advice here?
have the same problem. Multitasking on 8.1 worked like a charm, now with pie it sometimes closes my Spotify even if there are 2gigs of ram available
Same problem here, haven't found any solution to this problem yet
I changed the App-Starts to manuell and back to automatic and it seams to work for now...
That's simple. You can control your app activity simply by using Battery Optimizer and set permissions from automatic to manual. Also in System Settings type "ignore battery optimization" you will see a list of apps that are allowed to be ignored while the phone falls asleep or being optimized and you can add more apps if you need to and allow them to be ignored.

It works for a few hours than the systems ignors my stettings and kills the background apps again. In 8.1 everything worked fine

Might be a bug, needs to check. I'm still waiting for EMUI9 on my device.

I'm think about rolling back to 8.1
Rolled back to 8.1 everythings fine now. Hopefully Huawei will fix this problem with pie
Well to tell you the truth guys I just have received an update to EMUI 9 and I don't face any issues at all, I have apps which I need to be running in the background and as I stated before I just moved the badges in App launch section from Automatic to Manual and it's all ok as on EMUI 8.

When this happened last month it was server side on google....iirc
Many thanks, I made a factory reset, it appeared, then vanished again...
It's a bug in the Google App and is missing for nearly everyone. I imagine Google are aware, but your guess is as good as mine at when a fix might turn up.
Mine works fine when I'm at home AND the Wi-FI is turned on at home and on the Pixel...
Do you folks have fine network location allowed? That is required for it to work.
I tried all the fixes, nothing can bring it back... I will hard reset again...
are you enrolled on the google apps beta program?

I had the same issue.
I tried to uninstall updates on google app but did not change anything.
I have found this thread and found answer to my problem:
https://support.google.com/pixelphone/forum/AAAAb4-OgUs2dHrNxLnIYM/?hl=by
It might be caused by associated accounts : I dissociated one of my 2 accounts, uninstalled app updates, updated the app and restarted the phone.
Weather showed upon restart...
UPDATE : Forget about it, the issue came back.. ?

Google App version 9.02 apparently broke it. If you rollback to pre 9.0 it will work properly again.
Beta 9.04 fixes this as of today....
Thanks, I confirm latest beta fixes it.

This still does not work. I cleared data from the Google app, restarted, and it worked for a day or so... then quit again

Did you try clearing the cache from the Pixel launcher app?

Question App settings not being saved (Solved)

Just like it says. I am having a issues with some apps not saving after I set them. It happens when I shut the app down or reboot and I find that the phone is not doing what I set for the app. I open the app to check the settings and it has all been erased like new. If I keep the app open it runs all the settings correctly and saves them but as soon as I close the app or reboot it some of those apps default like it is a brand new app. Any thoughts?
Thanks
bump...

Man I hope someone can help us out with a lil insight. Thanks for the reply. I thought I might have screwed up a few things while setting up this new phone. I am on the latest build stable.
is it the permissions being cleared because its being "Paused". under the app's app info page there is a toggle Unused app settings--> Pause app activity if unused. make sure this is off.

No that doesn't appear to be that either. I checked all the apps that seem to be having this problem. Unfortunately that isn't it either. Thank you for the suggestion! IDK if a reflash without wiping would help?
I have never seen this or experienced it. Have you done "something" different? Tried to root, or install a ROM, or...???? If it keeps happening EVEN to native/default/system apps then I would recommend a factory reset with a low level cache wipe...if it can be done on this phone.

I would go for the reflash, and in the end, go for a clean flash.
I didn't experience this problem, but I did have an issue where every time I set a conversation as a priority, the second I left that screen, it reset back to default. I don't have the issue now, but I've also reflashed since then.
I have fixed it by wiping the affected apps data and then uninstalling them and readding the settings. Thanks guys!
