Google Keep notifications do not appear if the app is not open. Never happen to me on P10. Uninstaled it, worked for a day, again not working
Go to Battery -> App Launch and turn Manage automatically off for Google Keep.
Maybe also Apps, Apps, "3 dots top right", special access, battery optimization and exclude google keep.
Don´t really know why there are two options for battery saving to be honest, if anybody has an idea.....

Coming from a Note 3 I was able to use "App Settings" to modify apps and for me I used it to keep display on...
Emails for long reading
Google Playbooks
Etc
Is there a way to get something like App Settings so I can for an app to keep the display on for those apps I read long period of time...?
I got tired of my Nexus 5 draining its battery just sitting there in standby. Even if I turned the tablet all the way off, somehow the battery still drained itself (more slowly, but still…). I came up with the tips below so that I wouldn’t have to turn off the Nexus 5 completely between uses. I believe that a smartphone should be in standby and ready to go at all times.
I now get more than a week of battery life in standby.
The biggest battery drain culprit during idle time is behind-the-scenes software — continuously running, polling the Internet, or updating. On a Google device such as the Nexus series, most of that power-hungry activity comes from Google itself. So here’s what we're gonna do. Before we get to the Google stuff, let’s tweak some overall settings and Play Store settings to reduce battery drain in those areas:
First, let’s make sure you’re on the latest OS version for the Nexus 5. In Settings, swipe down to About Phone, choose that, then swipe down to “Android version”. When I wrote this in mid-February 2015, the latest OS version was 5.0.2. Check for OTA updates on the same screen, and update to the latest version if necessary. If rooted, install the latest custom ROM of your choice.
Once updated:
Hit your Play Store icon. Click the three-bar menu at the top left. Select “Settings” near the bottom.
Under “Auto-update apps,” choose “Do not auto-update apps.” (Why? Because that “feature” uses battery juice to download and install stuff whenever it feels like it, instead of whenever you say.)
On the same page, under Notifications, make sure “Notify me about updates to apps or games that I downloaded” is checked. That way you will know if something needs updating.
On the same page, uncheck “Add icon to Home screen for new apps.” Because it’s annoying, not because it uses battery.
Go to your phone's Settings.
Choose “Wi-Fi”.
Tap the three-dot symbol at top right.
Tap “Advanced.”
Make sure “Scanning always available” is unchecked.
While in Settings, let’s turn off some radios:
If you don’t travel much with your phone, disable Location (GPS). You can always re-enable it on demand.
If you don’t use Near Field Communication (NFC) for tap-to-pair features, disable that. You can always re-enable it when ready.
Disable Bluetooth when not using it.
Obviously, keep your device’s screen brightness as low as is comfortable. (The display is the biggest power hog on your device.) You can change the display brightness settings under Settings, Display.
While in Display Settings, disable Ambient Display. (Well, first Google it, because you might actually like the feature.) But it does use battery.
In Settings, under Sound and Notification, go to “other sounds.” Uncheck “Vibrate on touch.” (I have this setting on a custom ROM. I don’t know if the OEM ROM has it.)
When disabling or uninstalling Google apps, DO NOT uninstall anything essential to the smooth running of your phone. That includes:
Google Search
Google Chrome (unless you replace it with another browser)
Google Settings
Hangouts (you can disable Hangouts once you've replaced it with an aftermarket texting app)
Google Now (although we will disable many of its features and opt-out later)
Google Play
Gmail
Now let’s clean up a few apps. We will stay away from system apps, such as Email — because people can get into trouble uninstalling essential system apps.
It’s tough to keep up with every app working in the background or polling the Internet. So, in my opinion, you should uninstall any app that you didn’t specifically put on the phone yourself (system apps not included). This assumes that the app allows you to uninstall. System apps will only allow you to disable them. For example, I uninstalled:
Google Earth
Google +
Hangouts (after I replaced it with Textra)
Google Docs
Google Drive
Google Sheets
Google Slides
Google Fit
Any downloaded apps I’m no longer using, such as wallpaper apps.
For traveling smartphone owners, Google Now can be a godsend — always reminding you of what’s next, keeping you out of traffic jams, and keeping you on schedule. However, with Google Now, the Nexus 5 mic is always on and listening for that “OK Google” search command — which obviously uses battery power.
I found that I didn’t need Google Now at home, where my Nexus 5 sits 90% of the time (I work from home). If you’re like me, (or don't appreciate the privacy invasion and battery use), you can opt-out of Google Now — or at least stop the mic from listening.
We’ll start with the least draconian measure: stopping the mic from listening for the “OK Google” command:
From your main home screen, swipe left until you get to the Google Now screen.
Tap the three-bar symbol at top left.
Choose Settings.
Choose Voice.
Choose “OK Google” Detection.
Uncheck both “from the Google app” and “From any screen.”
If you don’t want Google Now at all (I don’t like it because it’s always updating something or doing something in the background), here’s how you disable it completely, while leaving full Google Search (and Voice Search, by tapping the mic symbol) functionality intact:
Start by disabling “OK Google” voice detection as shown above.
Then, in your Applications, open the Google Settings app.
Tap “Search & Now”.
Tap “Now cards.”
Uncheck “Show cards.”
You will see a message that asks if you really want to turn off Google Now. Go ahead and do that.
From now on, you can still easily search by swiping your finger up from the bottom of any Home screen. And you can still do voice searches by tapping the microphone on any Google Search screen.
I hope these battery-saving features do as much for you as they did for me!

We already have two battery life threads. No need for another.

Huh? It's been available for this device since December, just not stock Google 5.0.2.
Hi,
As mentioned we already have an existing battery troubleshooting thread here. Please post your suggestions there rather than create a new thread for the same topic.

Since a few weeks ago I noticed that my Huawei P10 is aggressively killing any apps that use the GPS after locking the screen.
My EMUI & Android versions are both 8.0.0.
The apps I tried:
- OsmAnd - which I use to trace my walks and improve OSM with the data
- Komoot - which is an app to track your hikes and add photos, etc
- Graticule - which lets you share your location in realtime
What I tried:
1. Bringing up the task manager, locking the lock above the app.
2. Settings -> Battery -> Launch
* 'Manage all automatically' unchecked
* <App Name> unchecked then check all options on 'Manage manually' screen (Auto-launch, Secondary launch and Run in background)
3. Settings -> Apps & notifications -> Apps -> Settings (cog at the bottom of the screen) -> Special access -> Ignore battery optimisation
* Added the apps to the 'Allowed' list
Regardless of the three things above after locking the screen in 5 to 10 minutes the app is killed. I think this is a bug in Huawei's implementation but their support is impossible to contact. I tried repeatedly and received no answer.
This is very frustrating because it used to work until a short time ago. I'm thinking about a factory reset and if that doesn't solve the issue I will be selling the phone because unfortunately this is a deal breaker for me.
Anyone experiencing the same problems? Any solutions? Suggestions?
Also tried formatting the cache partition, didn't help. If I'll have time during the weekend I'll do a factory reset.
I had the same problem with Strava, on an older version.
adb shell pm disable-user com.huawei.powergenie
If you want it back: adb shell pm enable com.huawei.powergenie
Powergenie is to limit battery usage, and it's too aggressive to kill app services.
Thank you for the response.
I did a hard reset and deactivated powergenie as instructed above and the problem still persists.
I can't describe how disappointed I am. I will be putting up the phone for sale.
What I don't understand is: am I the only one having the problem? I don't see other people complaining or they complained about older versions whereas for me it was the other way around. It worked fine until a few months ago and now it doesn't.
I am having this problem with Honor 7x and Runtastic Pro

Did someone already solve this problem.
Hi,
I have the same gps recording problems om my Huawei P10Plus. On 8.0.0 android.
Did someone already found a solution. Huawei support can't offer smart ideas.

Hey, had this problem with running app runtastic, so when device promted, I switched in app settings to manual and allowed background running.
After that app was running fine.
I have the same problem with latest release.
Afaik there is no way to prevent huawei from doing this by simply factory reseting. It is not depending on a temporaly bug obviously it is a feature.
I think this was the same problem while VLC blacklisted Huawei devices in the google play store from compatible devices.
Some months ago they said they will make a deal with Huawei... No news about this until today.
And komoot has a topic in their development forum about but still open since many months.
http://support.komoot.de/forums/164264-ideen/suggestions/14366967Sobald es
And GPS apps are not the only ones. I've tried some apps to play local music from the phone on google chromecast. Mostly they stop playing after one music track. I think this is also regarding to the huawei problem with safing energy to aggressively.
Last but not least there are apps that don't have any problems with it. For example Google Maps, Huawei Apps, Whatsapp any much more. So there seem to be a whitelist to the powerengine.
strange.. i have no issue with strava, endomondo, google maps, soundcloud, spotify, google music ...thats the one i tested.
I use endomondo, google maps, soundlcoud and spotify almost everyday without any issues.
Maybe its just that i use the whitelisted apps.
I am on stock B379 C432 firmware.
Solution
We had the same issue in our app. The solution in our app was to change the setting in Settings
Settings->Apps & notifications->Apps-><your app>->Battery
Set App launch to 'Manage manually'
Auto-launch - activated
Secondary launch - activated
Run in background - activated

Goto Phone Manager touch power saving->Optimize.Phone Manager will rapidly identify apps or features that are rapidly drainning the battery.Touch the Optimize button net to each or feartures to disable it and start saving power.You can touch Recover to re-enable the app or feature.When you remove an app from the protected apps list,your phone will close the app automatically when you turn off the screen to save batterry.
Has this been fixed?
This was always the big issue with my P10 in that Apps that I wanted to always run kept being killed until I found this article https://dontkillmyapp.com/huawei?app=Tasker which refered to https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-pro/themes/remove-powergenie-to-allow-background-t3890409
after removing powergenie with adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.powergenie I have had no more issues with applications being killed.
Hi all
I recently did a gentle swipe left on the "Screen Lock Data Usage" notification banner to reveal the settings behind that notification. On the settings screen I saw a bunch of processes and few of the processes are just labeled in numbers. I've unchecked all of those processes thinking that it is going to disable future "Screen Lock Data Usage" notifications.
Unfortunately majority of my apps stopped working after the change as they can't seem to get connected to mobile data.
However these apps can still get connected to the internet via wifi. So I wonder if there is anything I did wrongly that resulted to this situation.
I tried looking up various sites to search for ways to bring up that menu of items again, but to no avail.
Please help. Thank you for your advice.
Have you tried minimal YT? I use it. It's spot on for YouTube.
In regards to the maps? Just enable the services again mate.
Hi there,

My friend look for device shield in your device and there you have some options to enable background services that's an app, pretty sure that is causing your issues.

yes, its device shield stops everything, after allowing for WhatsApp it's working fine
but Gmail, and Telegram do not update until opening and of course some other apps
some apps work fine when allow to run in the background in the device shield and some of them not working
You need to enable and auto restart there as well
I did it too, not working
I'm going a reset factory with LMSAA
also something weird is happening
Sometimes personalize app 0kb data and force close until I do restart phone several times
I found the problem for anyone who has the issue like me
first: Device Shield background running app should be ok
second: The device Shield Auto start app should be on
third: Automatic Battery saver turn on 1 AM - 6 AM, turn off this option, when battery saver is on force close all apps, after the battery saver duration is over apps doesn't sync automatically until opening them by your self
so the problem solved

NO issue for me.
1. Autostart apps from DeviceShield
2. "Allow running in background" for those apps in DeviceShield
3. From the app tray/drawer, press and hold an app (ex. Telegram) and tap on App Info.
Tap Battery and choose "Unrestricted".
