Unable to enter "settings" - HTC U12+ Questions & Answers

I have 2 * U 12 Plus devices, the 2 devices have different apps installed.
Last week I suddenly experienced the same problem on both devices, I can't access the "settings" function.
When I ask to enter the "settings", the settings screen appears for a second and disappears. And then ש message appears if I want to report the fault to HTC ?
I performed a hard reset several times, but the problem repeats itself.
Thanks for any help or idea how to solve this problem.

Uninstall latest Google app

Type goggle in the play store the first search result is the app I uninstalled. There should be an option there to uninstall the app. It's just called Google. When I click the app it leads me to the news feed.

You can disable the app completely (Settings -> Apps & Notifications -> Google -> Disable). Or you can turn off automatic updates for the app in the Play Store. The last "good" version of the app that worked is 14.15.25.28.arm64. You can find this on APK Mirror.

I have exactly the same problem and not even a hard reboot resolves the problem. On a hard reboot, I was about to access "setting" for a brief second but the phone does an automated update and once the update kicks in, I lost the ability to access "setting"

New options in settings sync (google account)

Hi!
I've noticed new options when I enter settings and select my google account (sync details).

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
Do you know what are these? Weird is that there are "*" in some titles. Do you know what are these with star? Do you know what exactly does it sync? Do you know why there are 2 exact same positions? Don't know why one of these options is in english while rest is in Polish. Is everything OK or maybe I should wipe data (I dirty flashed when coming from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3)
Thanks in advance
These are supposedly hidden sync points. Have you installed Greenify?. Greenify Experimental version enables/displays these 'hidden' ones - so you can chose to enable/disable sync on them.
Yes, I installed greenify but never would guess this is because of greenify. Thanks for help
Mine now has 3 options for photos...
Google photos
Auto backup Google photos
Google+ photos
..nice one Google for making your software so easy to understand.. nobs
Can anyone say what exactly does that sync mean:
- Location and location something
- Google Play services
- Push subscription
I was curious about these too. And also why there are 2 "Game Data" options
Also, I unticked a bunch of them (i.e. Push Subscriptions, Google Photos, etc.)
But notice that they get reticked (upon reboot, I think)

Disable Services App going berserk...

Today I tried fiddling a bit with this app. It's all good but after disabling a couple services in the Gmail app and finding out that they were needed a few minutes later, it seems like whenever I try bring them back to their prior unfrozen state they just won't stick, and every time I open the app they appear to be unchecked again. I'd really love to keep using this app but I damn sure need Gmail so...any idea on why this might be happening?
Edit: the app keeps killing the processes as shown on the attached pic.

I also sent an email to the developer, looking forward to be able to use the app without issues if I manage, it solved all of my wakelock issues, then this happened...
Still nothing from the dev, in the meantime I switched to Inbox which doesn't seem to be affected, still hoping to fix this tho...

I used to have the same problem. It turned out that I was being too aggressive with disabling limes into Google Play Services. However if I restore them it simply sticks as it should in the app, so it's not a big deal. With Gmail however it's a whole different story, at least on my device/ROM layout. I could try a full wipe but ain't nobody got time for dat...
A factory reset didnt repair the service status. I am rethinking of using disable service , does it slow down the phone over time ?

I'm mot using it right now, but I moticed that after I unistalled it the processes I blocked within the app remained blocked. A few seconds before uninstalling I just enabled Gmail, and being the app removed it just sticked for once. So even tho it's quite a crooked way to do it I managed to have Gmail working and the app doing its job anyway, even if it's currently not installed. It is a shame that one has to do such dirty workarounds in order to make things work as they should without breaking functionality, but that's the "fix" I'm using at the moment. Still no word from the dev so I've kinda lost hope anyways.

I wonder how much of a difference all of our micro managing really makes. Sure some processes are pretty toxic but when running a very slim build like deodexed XtreStoLite there isn't really much left to kill...right now I'm just using Greenify after a fresh install and I seem to be getting pretty much the same battery life...

No work for greenify on a clean install . The apps and service pile up over time . For me its :-
1. Freezing /unfreeze for facebook,kindle,amazon,etc
2.Disable services
3.App Ops
4. If apps crashes because of service disable then add on greenify
5. App Ops Startup + bootmanager
Using Old version of some apps like airdroid.

Apps crashing after latest update

after latest update for model MHA-L29C185B186 apps are crashing.any news on this?
same happened to me. with some apps in my Chinese mate 9, i did a restart and clear out the cache then update apps and that fixed my issues
I have the same issue after the update, and it's very annoying: apps crashes in the middle of what you're doing, watching, or reading. Nothing seems to fix it
Yep, annoying closes. I think i'll rebrand to 432...
Same here...random crashes on apps after the update. Can anyone help?
Some general methods to try:
Clear out the cache of the app
Update the app
Settings - Developer options, Enable multiprocess WebView
......
nope
I have the same problem as well. I contacted Huawei support and they suggested to do a factory reset. I did that and the issue still persists. I believe something is wrong with the latest software update they pushed and they need to fix this ASAP.

I haven't noticed any apps crashing after yesterday's update, but for some reason the controls on my Bluetooth headphones no longer work when the phone is in lockscreen, only working when the music player I use (MX Player Pro) is active onscreen. Anyone else had this issue? BTW I've spent close to 4 hours trying to fix this in every possible area of 'settings' and have searched the forums here but have had no luck!
After the B194 update I have the same problem. Most apps close. No solution from Huawei service for now
Same here, apps crashing after last update. Clear cache or fully restore factory reset didn't help.
chinks =(
Same problem here.... After new update apps are crashing....
Sent from my MHA-L29 using Tapatalk
Another one with the same complaint. FB, Waze, Chrome .. just closing in the middle of use.
Same here...
There is no need to worry, just goto settings then goto battery then tap on top right corner of battery settings and turn off " close excessively power instensive apps". THATS IT.
It is enabled by default in the new firmware. So apps are being crashed automatically.
Screenshot is attached
Regards.
um, nope. this one reads 'background'. we are talking about foreground apps abruptly closing without any warning
+1. Real Racing crash randomly.
I have downgrade to B190 (without reset) and my game work perfectly again. But now , I realize that app camera and gallery don't work.

Facebook services, is pre-installed. Just go into Settings> Apps & notifications > See All apps > (top right side hit 3 dots > show system) Click and disable (can't uninstall unfortunately) all facebook apps you see. I had three already in place, "Facebook app installer" "Facebook App manager" & " Facebook Services"
Oh and you can probably remove over ADB, I haven't yet but probably will attempt in the future.

I'm pretty sure none of these apps are needed to run the Facebook app, but I do not use Facebook so I'm not sure. I am pretty sure though, that regardless if these are uninstalled/disabled when installing the official Facebook app, it will do the same thing as those apps and monitor stuff on your phone. I highly recommend if you want Facebook either go through a browser or look through the XDA apps & games section and there a few custom facebook apps that sandbox it and don't allow it to collect data from the phone.
This newer thread (below) shows how to REMOVE all of the facebook apps:

Thanks for your reply though

This is really getting on my nerves. It pops up randomly and placed perfectly for me to enable play protect again.
Perhaps an lsposed or magisk module will suffice... I'll get digging

Saw this but unsure if it works well after latest update.
Go into notifications for the app and disable "Security ad Errors"
