Hello all, over the last 2-3 days when installing apps with known widgets they aren't showing up so you can select and add. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app and nothing. If I restart the device then the widget will show up to add. Another odd thing is when the app is uninstalled the widget is showing up to add. The app is uninstalled and this is happening. I try to add the widget to see what it does and it creates the little Android. If you long press to add the widget to the home screen it gives a meassgae that reads "Create Widget and Allow Access? After you create widget, Google app can access all data it disolays. Always allow Google Apps to create widgets and access their data with a check box. There are also cancel and delete options. They both don't do anything. If you check the box and select create it brings you back to the widget select area. Device is stock. No recent apps aside from one bad weather app. Any ideas? This is a new issue aside from the early shutdown before 0% battery. First it was 2% 15% and now 18% tonight. Disappointing for a $650 device. Thanks!
I didn't understand, actually what are you talking about?
Sorry, I realize it may be confusing. It seems to be unusual. I've attached a screenshot of what shows then you try add a widget that is from an app that is uninstalled. There should not be a widget listed in the listing to add when an app is uninstalled . Now the initial issue is when an app is installed that offers a widget I'm not seeing it in the widget listing area. I've uninstalled the app and reinstalled and widget still doesn't show in list. If I reboot the phone then I usually see the widget. Very odd! Any thoughts?
Having this problem too. Just added CurrentWidget and its not showing under "add widget". Restarted and the widgets there. Stock 5.1
I have the same problem , you have to reboot phone after adding widgets each time

Yeah, there are others with the same issue. For sure seems like an operating system bug. 5.1 update did not fix it. It just started a few week ago. I wonder if it has something to do with the stock launcher.
I've always thought that was the norm, but others feel it is a bug.
Try restarting system UI after install instead of a reboot and I'm told that should accomplish the same thing for you to see the new widgets in the list.
Are you guys using the standard Google launcher? I have never seen this issue but run Apex or Nova

So I flashed Marshmallow on my Nexus 6 about 3 days ago and when I go to the battery optimization setting it always says "battery optimization not available". Just wondering if anyone knows how long it might take for the optimization process to start taking effect.

Mine was working the first day. Did you flash all of the images? bootloader, radio, boot, system
What I find strange is that the only apps that show up as "Not Optimized" are Google Play Services and DMService. Only google stuff is not being optimized.
I flashed all the images. I guess I will have another go and see what happens...

i'm wondering the same thing. mine just says "Not Optimized" at the top, however i can change it to "All Apps" not sure if that should be done or not.

"Not Optimized" selection is just a list of apps/services that are currently not optimized.
After I updated to Android 6.0, Google Play services was the only app not optimized (and apparently can't be).
"All apps" selection is just a list of all apps/services with the not optimized apps grayed out.
After I updated to Android 6.0, all apps (excluding Google Play services) defaulted to optimized.
An app can to set to "Don't optimize" but "May drain your battery more quickly".
Any solution to this? I'm seeing the same in my 2013 Nexus 7
I flashed Android m on my new nexus 6...now I'm facing some battery drain problems.
I'm only getting battery backup of 6-8hrs..
I flashed it on Android 5.0
Any solution?????
I've noticed that if you use a third party app for SMS like Signal, you dont get a notification unless the application is open, same with gmail.
Has anyone else noticed this?
go to advance setting >battery manager >protected app and check if application is not checked on , that's mean when screen is off the application will not work unless you open it... so if you need notification from certain apps just mark it on

This is a the 'doze' function in Huawei EMUI. A lot of firmwares have this issue. It's because Huawei has blacklisted many apps to not to send notification when screen is off. The apps that are white-listed include WhatsApp and some Chinese Tencent crap.
There is a method to enable notifications for all apps but obviously that requires root.
And yeah, Welcome to EMUI, a UI that plays with your emotions.

All I can say is I have turned on every apps to run when the screen is off. I do t get any notifications, only if I go on the app or if I turned the phone off then back on I get a batch of notifications. I receive certain apps notification but its not consistent. Can't wait for a good root, to get rid of this crappy EMUI and hopefully the camera app will be ported, I'm happy with the pbone, the camera, but this UI is from hell.
Weird, I have 0 issues with notifications, everything turns up very quickly. Gmail, whatsapp, youtube comments... Etc.
I also use Nils lockscreen notifications though, I have the huawei lockscreen notification system disabled. It works very well like this until I find the time to root.

How did you disable it? Mine is greyed out saying locked by administrator and I haven't. This UI is starting to P me off. Think touchwiz will see me again soon ?
Have you looked at apps > phone manager > notification centre?

I only disabled the huawei lockscreen notification system (to disable the lockscreen all together you need root). Just use any lockscreen other than the stock magazine one in the theme selecter.
The UI certainly is different. But imho customizable enough that it doesn't get in the way. This is android after all.

OK if you guys have root i have something to try for you. I had issues with the process of GMD gesture control. It was killed by the battery saving tools implemented in this phone.
So I tried freezing certain system apps through titanium to find the one responsible for closing the background process and I think I found it:
It's a process/app called "power genie". I disabled it and now the process sticks. Also I made gesture control a system app, so maybe it's a combination of the two things.
It's not the same issue as you had but maybe it works for you too.

So does this method allow for notifications to come through without having firstly opened the application then going to home-screen with it still open?

You'd have to try that out for yourself because I never had any issues with notifications coming through and I use third party software (Nils) for lockscreen notification.
What I described is a method that prevents a Huawei "power save" service called power genie killing background processes. No guarantees though, I had issues with gmd gesture control not working after a few minutes and I had to constantly open the app to make it work again. Then I froze power genie and since then it worked 100%.
So it's just my theory that it might stop other apps/processes from being closed as well.
I still dont get notifications coming through via the official gmail app, i might trying that power genie freeze, since any app thats not Huawei wont come through as a notification and thats when I give the app full access.'
I'm not sure if this is worth a try, but there's an option to 'ignore optimisations' on a per-app basis.
In settings > Apps > Advanced > Ignore optimisations > All apps
I've instructed to ignore optimisations for Dash, an app with a background service that launches the app upon connection to my car's Bluetooth OBD. I'll feed back if this has any impact, as I've noticed it doesn't auto-start the app on the Huawei P9 as it used to on my Nexus 5, despite 'protecting' the app in the battery manager.

If it's just Gmail, try deleting cache and data for the Gmail app and reboot first. My wife had the same issue just with the Gmail app a few days ago (on a galaxy s3 though).
Same issue with Instagram so I guess it's not only gmail
Just received my P4XL yesterday, set ist up and having hidden apps shown in my launcher. EG Solid Explorer unlocker an App without any function. Anybody experiencing the same and any clou what to do? Already cleared Pixel launchers storage but that didn't fix it. Thanks.

Can't hide apps anymore.
There has never been a possibility to hide Apps with Pixel Launcher. But some Apps shouldn't be visible in the App drawer as they just don't need to be EG Solid Explorer unlocker, the older Pixel Wallpapier Apps. In my Pixel 2 XL with Android 10 it works like it should.
Anyone?
seeing same issue here. Many posts on reddit as well.
Nova launcher was doing the same thing. I had to manually hide them within the launcher but pixel launcher doesn't have that option. It might just be something within the app that needs to be set that the developers have to adjust.
I've seen this on my Taimen with one of the latter betas but with final 10 evereything works like IT should on my P2XL. So I guess it's something related to Coral.
I'm experiencing the same thing, Mirco G on my other pixel phone is hidden but on the pixel 4 XL it shows without any option to hide or automatically hiding itself.
Same issue here with "Brother Print Service Plugin" & "Pixel Tips" showing in the app dawer, as bluetigger68 said above, this issue was present in Android 10 beta's, in my case this was on my Pixel 3 XL and was fixed in the final release, but this bug has returned on my Pixel 4 XL.
Just installed latest security update, didn't fix it.
But the update won't finish after the restart and drains my battery...
December patch fixed it for me
I will test and post any other changes, like the version of the camera app

Did you change the "Background power consumption management" setting of AccuBattery to "High background power usage" ?

well it only applies if you actually removed or disabled the V-Appstore. Otherwise no idea what could be causing this problem.
If you debloated via ADB AppControl (https://adbappcontrol.com/en/) then it should be as easy as going into the "disabled" or "removed" tab and then restoring the app.
The alternative solution would be to run the reverse debloat script (credit to @raimondomartire for original script.
I edited it so it only restores the V-Appstore)

No change, accubattery is still set to high battery use, it's locked in the recent apps drawer and Autostart etc. Enabled.
But Autostart never worked for it. On reboot I always have to start it manually and never close the window in the recent apps otherwise I know Vivo kills it. It's really a pain seeing how unreliable those settings are. And I don't ever use power saving mode or dark mode....
Seeing it was killed several times according to the message is even more strange

What about the vivo.pem thingy? Did you remove it?
Yes of course. All other apps I added to Autostart and high battery use seem to be fine, at least for notifications. Because muted group chats on Line and Signal clearly need to download if not actually open before. So they seem to be somehow affected too. Note that this doesn't apply to non muted individual chats or non muted group chats.
I read somewhere that the bug with dark mode is triggered by muted group chats. Maybe this has system wide implications? That's what I hate here, bugs are kinda always depending on super strange combinations which don't seem to make sense in first place (more like some vivo engineer thought he can save some battery here or there without noticing to breaking a lot of functions. Clearly missing quality control between Teams or individuals working on the software)...
And again as long as an app is open in recent Apps app drawer its not affected.
Could it be that those users that aren't affected are using a third party app drawer for recent apps? If you do that than maybe the results will be way different (same as not having muted group chats).

Settings, apps& permissions --> apps manager --> there is no app with package in Name...
And accubattery got killed again... See zero battery usage and I had charged it to 100%... I really wonder if anyone gets equal hours here to actual phone use...
Accubattery is secured with the lock symbol yet if I swipe it up it gets killed. Adguard as a service works perfectly however. Accubattery cannot seem to get running as plain service however while storing usage data. The lockdown only changes that if you click on the X at the bottom the locked apps aren't killed.
Hmm, removing it from Autostart and reading it seems to have helped on reboots. But something seriously is wrong with this system if so often (notifications too) adding and removing an app from the lists changes something.

There is definitely a app called package installed installer, it's on every android device. Unless you've debloated it
Yes there is but I cannot open it. I can delete it's data/cache however which doesn't change anything.
It's only a service not an app itself it seems to me. And as it's a service only it cannot be managed through apps and permissions. It can be found by searching for it from settings search field
