At least I'm *assuming* it's a problem with power management...
1. WhatsApp Web interface. This doesn't appear to work unless the phone it turned on and unlocked. It will work for a short while after the screen is turned off, but then it stops working again.
2. Android Wear - This doesn't appear to connect to the P9, unless the phone it turned on and unlocked. It will work for a short while after the screen is turned off, but then it stops working again. Even when the screen is turned on it takes 20-30 seconds to start up communications again. By that stage I might as well use my phone instead of my watch.
I'm assuming this is Huawei's extreme app killing, power management system. I've turned on "Protected apps" for all apps. But this obviously has not cured the issue.
Can anyone sympathise, or even better, offer a solution? Is this problem cured by Nougat?
I have my L19 P9 working perfectly fine with my moto 360 2015 by set android wear app to ignore battery optimization in setting

Is there an application that turns the phone off via software rather than holding the power button down?
Ideally, with a small battery, it would be cool to have the phone auto power off at say 11:00pm time and then come back on at say 06:00am.
There are various apps than can power off the device (amongst other functions) - they are usually a secondary function of what its primary purpose is. One such example is SPB Pocket Plus - it includes various little tools, one of which is PowerOff which can be run from a shortcut, or scheduler etc.
I'm sure you'd have no problem getting the device turned off automatically at 8pm, but back on in the morning will be rather tricky given that the device is off hence unable to tell itself to turn back on!
Perhaps if you elaborate on what your ultimate goal is (i.e. why you want it turning off at night) then there may be another, better, way of achieving it.

Thanks Mathew.
I dont take calls at night so its best to turn the phone off. With the battery not lasting that long it would be great.
I know that Sony Ericsson phones can turn on and display a reminder even when they are off. And I used to have a Siemens phone which had an auto-off function whereby I was able to set a time at which it would go off. A minute before the scheduled off time, a dialogue would appear on screen to say that the phone would turn off in 59 seconds. Then it would proceed to countdown the seconds. I had the opportunity to overide the auto power off if required otherwise when the countdown got to 0 seconds the phone would turn off. Cant remember if the siemens had an auto on function!
I think theres two ways of looking at this thread...
phone off - physically like a blackberry can do at a set time each day etc
or phone off as in the actual phone function. I think this is more suited to your needs and I really can;t think it would be that difficult to do for the average programmer.
You are in theory making something to switch "phone" on or off as you would in the communication manager
And then tie this in to an alarm style program
Every 8 to 12 hours or so, I will unlock the screen and it will say "Homescreen not responding" (or Facebook, or Text Messaging not responding, or whatever was on the screen before the screen turned off). Beneath that message it gives me the option to Force Close or Wait. Regardless of what I pick, the phone freezes and is completely unresponsive to all input. However, if I hold the powerbutton down, the power-off menu comes on, and the only thing I can do is turn the phone off. When I turn the phone back on, everything works again, until another 8-12 hours and the same thing happens again
I have no idea why it's doing this. I've factory-reset the phone then updated it back to the latest android (Jellybean, I'm pretty sure).
I don't think the RAM is filling up, because I have Advanced Task Killer running and set to auto-kill mostly all tasks except CPU Tuner, Text Messaging, and Avast Antivirus. Also, I rooted it, and froze all the stupid bloatware applications (like "Slacker Radio", etc.).
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, or what I can do to fix or prevent this? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
So my wife just got a Moto X this week. All of a sudden it started giving her issues. The power button will not lock the phone or turn off the screen. It will, however, turn off the phone properly. And, no matter how short the sleep timer, it will not go to sleep. Anybody else had these issues?
Brand new phone? Factory reset. If problem persists, demand a replacement. After all, it's brand new.
Be sure to check it immediately after reset. If this recurs only after you've configured the device, then maybe there's a problem with one of the apps you're installing.
You haven't rooted it, have you? I did have a problem once where I had set the "screen stays on" checkbox in App Settings xposed module while tinkering with the DPI in my browser. It took a while to understand why the phone was never shutting off in the browser.
I purchased a used Republic Wireless Moto X (1st Gen) and in the beginning I was happy with the phone, but then I got to school with it...
The first thing I noticed was the issue the phone was having with the college's network. The network requires a one time login every 10 hours to authenticate that you are a student. I would login and the phone would work normally on the school's network until it turned the screen off or I hit the power button once to sleep the phone. Once you did this and then tried to use the phone again it was like there was no network even though it was connected and already authenticated. I am forced to disconnect from the school's network and reconnect every time I want to use WiFi if the screen was turned off...
Well that problem was annoying as hell, but it got even worse as time went on (2 weeks). Now I can barely even use the phone at all on campus or sometimes even at my own house. I will be trying to do something very simple like open txt messaging and it will show my messages and then load the names to match the cell numbers (slowly). However when I click on a message it will stay stuck at a white text body with the person's name at the top and a txt enter box at the bottom that I can't do anything with (keyboard won't pop up).
If I hit back normally it will freeze the phone and it will restart, this is my primary problem. When trying to do basic things like txt messaging the phone freezes and restarts itself. Once it restarts on its own, nothing has fixed. I try to open txt messaging again and I get the EXACT same problem and the phone will restart again. The only semi-solution I have found is once the phone restarts itself, I shut it down through the normal hold power button briefly and click power off. Then when it comes back up, SOMETIMES it will act normal-ish.
The odd thing is a lot of the time once I get home on my network these restarts and freezes are much less frequent vs. on the school's network. This could be a coincidence, but I thought I should bring it up.

This is my first smartphone I have ever owned, but I have owned two tablets so I am familiar with Android and also with modding Android (rooting, boot loaders, custom ROMs, etc). If modding is the answer here then by all means tell me what I need to do so I can get a phone that functions properly.
I saw that Motorola is testing 5.1 for this phone now, perhaps that may fix these problems? Right now I am tempted to throw this phone out the window and go back to my flip phone that I can at least txt message on.
Not even a single idea?
Edit, found this:

Some users have faced problems with the device freezing, or randomly rebooting occasionally.
Potential Solution –
If the screen is frozen, tapping on the power button to turn the screen off, and turning the screen on again might unfreeze it. If that doesn’t work, a long press on the power button will reboot the device.
The likely culprit for this issue is a specific application. You can follow the instructions in Problem #4 above to find out if this is the case.

I'm joining the chorus of complains about my Samsung Tab S2 9.7" SM-T810 purchased April 2016. I used it a lot and it still works well, except for a weird problem, which could be due to a recent software update.
Assume the screen turns off, without turning off the device. For example, I just leave the tablet unattended for 2 minutes, which is the timeout period. When I return to the tablet and try to turn the screen on (by pressing Home briefly) the screen won't turn on. In this zombie state, the device is still functional. Pressing Home+Power simultaneously makes the sound expected for a Screendump. Later on, I can recover the image file which shows how the screen should have looked if it was on. A long-press on Home brings up the Google Assistant and I can hear it talking to me.
But I can't turn the screen on for a while, no matter what. As if there was an internal timeout of 1-3 minutes which prevents the screen from turning on. The device probably believes the screen is on, and perhaps does not bother changing its status.
After a minute or two, the tablet eventually responds to the Home button and turns on. Then it works perfectly for hours - unless I allow it to turn off again.
Now I just ordered a new tablet (the P-205) so the old SM-810 will soon go into retirement. Would it make sense to try going back to a prior version of Android ? I have no experience with root on Android, although I "used to be" computer literate in the previous four decades.
