Managing auto start permissions for apps - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Coming from Xiaomi Mix 2 oreo, I cant seem to find the option to control which apps start on their own on note 9 running pie. On my Xiaomi mix 2 I could prevent any app from starting on their own by turning off auto start individually for each app.
I preferably want to prevent Facebook apps and uber from auto starting in the background.
I looked at developer options running services but did not find any solution.
Please advise

Accessibility Services Keep Turning Off [ROOTED]

Hi All,
I just recently rooted my Note5 with ForeverLoco's ROM using ODIN and with Anter47's Kernel. I noticed that after a while, the accessibility services (Settings > Accessibility > Services) which control Tasker and Greenify (among others) all turn themselves off after I manually turn them all back on. I have Clean Master as well as Greenify that kills/hibernates apps but none of the apps in the accessibility page are included on either list. What am i doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

On the S6 edge, I have a similar problem: the settings remain, but they simply stop working after some time. I have to either restart the phone, or switch them off and back on to get them working again.

hi
I also had similar problem when i had my Note4.I was also rooted etc etc .My workaround was to... ..when i flashed my new updated stock Rom i would quickly enable it ,but as you stated it would/might turn off later , I flashed numerous Lollipop Roms and it was present in all except my last Note 4 Rom.. ...COH4. i found issue to be fixed in this Rom.
The problem ( i supect ) , is that most users don't use this service a lot ,so it goes mostly unnoticed .Very fustrating "bug"
So far i have no issues with my Note5 .
Could be that root interferes with setting or just a Samsung "bug " ????
good luck

My S6 edge is not rooted, so it might be a bug on some Samsung roms
I am having the same issue on my find 7. It is very frustrating as I just set up a lot of automation tasks that rely in autovoice being accessibility enabled. Grrr
So from another post around here I found the solution for me and it's very (stupid) easy..
Under settings -> program management, I had to lock certain apps.
I had almost flashed another rom.
Same problem here with Tasker, Nova Launcher and True Phone accessibility services turning off. My phone has Lollipop and is rooted.
Which apps ?

Download Servicely from GP and keep everything turned on!
Im on Phronesis v6.5 rom 5.1 1 on my note 3.
I got the same issue, after reboot all my accessability permissions for my apps are turned off. Apps that need the accessability are Twilight, switch swiftly and a bunch of others including greenify.
Has anybody found a solution to this issue?
PS somehow Nova Launcher seems to keep its accessability ON through reboots!
Samsung and Huawei
Saw the subject is saying [ROOTED] but posting anyway even if this also applies also to non-rooted devices running the stock versions of Android:
On Samsung Galaxy devices (SG 5 and later), check to see if you have App Battery Optimizer in Samsung Smart Manager app enabled. Please disable this as it is known to disable app Accessibility Services: go to Android Settings > General > Battery > look under App Optimization and select Details. Then find the apps in question and turn them off.
For Huawei phones, go to Settings > Apps > Advanced Options > Ignore Optimations and toggle "allow" for your apps that needs to be allowed accessibility permissions.
It happens to me as well. When I use titanium backup to clear apps cache it will shut off all accessibility apps and you will have to turn them back on. I noticed it happens when I use cool master as well.
Hi, it happens to me with Greenify on a Xiaomi redmi note 3 (marshmallow), the only thing that worked for me was: Settings>apps setting>permissions> autostart, and allowing Greenify. It works, even when i went back to optimization feature and leave Greenify to be optimized as it was.
Hi, I am also nor rooted but thought I would chime in as I am also experiencing this annoying issue with my Huawei Mediapad X2 running EMUI 4.0 Marshmallow Stock. Unfortunately, setting Greenify to ignore battery optimizations does not help. Once apps are killed, their Accessibility setting is turned off automatically - very frustrating. Anyone have any other solutions?
The solution given by elpipo22 works for me in a rather different environment, a xiaomi MI 4 with miui. The autostart option here was in Security app -> permissions -> autostart -> choose the apps which should retain accessibility settings.
Hii,
In my case, oppo f1s, i found out one solution
First of all your device should be rooted, the best
way to do that is through resetting firmware to factory or updating to newer oppo system image, then installing custom recovery BIOS or whatever it's name is,
then rooting under Recovery mode using Magisc...
All this is described in some xda-developers forum topic.
But that is not our issue for now,
To prevent accessibility permission to be revoked
from our service or app, we have to go developper,
by browsing SETTINGS >> DEVICE INFO , then clicking about 8 times or more on BUIL NUMBER... now that we
have become DEVELOPPER for good, we go back and then
we navigate towards SETTINGS >> ADVANCED SETTINGS >> DEVELOPPER SETTINGS... then enable DEVELOPPER OPTIONS, open section RUNNING SERVICES, browse for application named SECURITY CENTER, inside whitch we can see 4 running services, then STOP service named
CONTROL_VERIFY_SERVICE (of course on your own risk)
, that is it, now just go to SETTINGS >> ADVACED SETTINGS >> ACCESSIBILITY and enable accessibility for your application and enjoy it.....

"XXX doesn't seem to be working at the moment"

Hi,
For some time I have not been able to make some third party apps work in AA. Specifically I am talking about Audible , Podcast Addict and Smart Audiobook Player. They appear correctly in the list when I connect my phone (Redmi 3s on MIUI 10) to my Audi A4 Avant but I constantly get the message "....doesn't seem to be working at the moment". If I start the app before connecting the phone to the car, then it works. I have even factory reset the phone, no root, no modded apps installed, still no joy. I have read that third party apps are not featured in the latest edition of AA but I understand that they should not be listed at all (which is not what I am getting).
Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks!
P.s. Update: I get the same error with AnyAutoAudio
I found this same issue on my Pocophone F1 (also running MIUI)
To fix.....
Enable Developer Options on MIUI 8 & MIUI 9:
Step 1: Open Settings app on your Mi device.
Step 2: Scroll down and tap on About Phone.
Step 3: Tap on MIUI version for about 7-10 times.
Step 4: You should see a message saying “You are now a developer”. That's it now Developer Options are enabled on your device.
Now go into developer options scroll to the bottom and disable "MIUI Optimizations"
you'll probably now need to re-enable some application permissions next time you open them but this should cure your XXX not working issues.
If you still have the issues with some AA apps try disabling any battery saving options on those apps to stop Android closing them in background
at first when reading the title i thought u have issues opening p0rnhub or something...

Android Auto keeps crashing upon startup

I read somewhere dual apps can cause problems, so I deleted my only dual app on the phone (WhatsApp) and made sure that "user 999" is no longer there ("pm list users" shows only user 0). But the problem with Android Auto still persists.
It simply crashes after the initial configuration. Then subsequently every time I tap on the icon to run it, it crashes and quits right away.
I cleared data for both Android Auto and Google play services. Same problem.
I did some debloating when I started using the phone before installing Android Auto. Could this be the issue, that I debloated something that was essential to Android Auto's operations?
I also have Magisk running on the phone. Tried hiding Android Auto (Google Play Services is already hidden). Same problem.
Any help appreciated ! Running MIUI EEA 10.2.26 by the way.
Found the issue.
In app permissions I allowed the app to access calendar. But I have removed Google calendar from the system with adb tools (I use Outlook so Google Calendar becomes redundant). I guess Android Auto assumes Google Calendar is always there so it crashes when it is not found.
I disable the calendar permission and everything works now.

Why does the "allowed at all times" option not appear?

My Mi 9 just got upgraded to MIUI 11.
Before that I could let runkeeper run in the background and it would still track GPS while I run.
Now I need to keep phone on and runkeeper in the foreground otherwise it loses GPS connection.
But I see no option to keep location active at all times: https://holland.pk/uptow/i4/e975210e612de1c77bdbeba84edf8b9f.jpg
I see this option for other apps, just not runkeeper.... What gives?
Solved by moving runkeeper to become a system process via systemizer

Android Auto updated to 7.8.622514-release --> "Google" app now available on Android Auto

Hello,
Today I was unfortunately forced to update Android Auto to 7.8.622514-release. My Android Auto was running really stable with 7.5 (and I had really bad experience with 7.1 and 7.3 --> therefore I'm absolutely no fan of this forced updates).
I checked the functionality with a second phone with the app "Headunit Reloaded".
I noticed that I have a now the "Google" app available in Android Auto.
But it seems to me that the app has no function at all. I just have the message "no new messages during your drive".
Moreover it also does not appear in the launcher settings on my phone. Therefore I can't even deactivate the Google app.
Does anyone else have this? Does anyone know what kind of function the app should have?
I really do not think that I need this app. I prefer to have a clean Android Auto. Is there any other way to deactivate this app from Android Auto?
Thanks a lot.
Update: I also noticed that the Google Assistant shortcuts vanished and can't get brought back...Where are my Google Assistant shortcuts now?
Update 2: now after using Android Auto today for some drives in my car, everything is normal again. The Google app was gone after the 2nd drive and I could add my Assistant shortcuts again after the 3rd drive. I'm really curious why this happened...
I just hate these forced updates.
