Thanks for bringing it to the notice! Just checked, even I have it! (Android 10)
Edit: Just checked again, it's not showing the internet connection error and working fine. Could it be something from their server side?

I dont have this bug...

hmmm so after this long 9 beta testing still we have bugs. it would have been better if they had released it earlier. then iron out bugs. ppl waited for nothing in name of a10

I am having the same issue as the OP. I also have the same spec phone. However, am using Apex launcher.

Rog 2 a great phone with bad software... Takes forever to fix bugs... I remember similar issues when i bought the phone with Nova.... Better to be on A9 for two-three months ...

Having same issue, even though I AM using the default launcher but just having a few other launchers installed but not in use.

I just got mine earlier this week and it happens to me every time i exit armory crate, I want to use Nova and my solution is just, Don't use armory crate, and just the Quick Tiles to toggle system lighting and Xmode.
I am quite upset that exiting a big feature app always resets the default launcher.

opera crashing when logging into facebook!

opera works ok until i try to log into facebook,then i get the old "sorry opera has encountered a problem" and closes.
This has only started happening since a hard-reset which was forced by applying the second tweak in the tweaks thread.
I have also noticed that opera has started taking forever to render pages and sometimes completes loading a page but the screen remains blank,and when entering opera's settings all text is black until i hit a button and then its text will become white and remain white.
Anybody experience similar issues or shed some light?
I currently have no tweaks applied.
Sorted it after another hard reset
after 2 weeks with no problems from opera,it finally happened again!
I dont wanna keep hard resetting everytime opera goes mad.
It is not just closing down when i try and login to facebook but after a few website changes it just crashes out.
Has nobody else had this experience?
Does this happen while you use gprs/edge/3g/hsdpa connection only or it happens with wifi connection as well? If the first, and you are on T-mobile, try disabling the proxy.
cheers for that!
I already had it disabled,but enabling it then disabling it again seemed to work!

Glad you go it to work. I had a similar problem before with gmail.com and few other sites. Seems like the T-mobile's default proxy is unable to handle secured connection.

Dialler app crashes

Hi guys. Hope you are all ok.
I have an honor 5c and sometimes I'm having this weird issue. Sometimes I try to call someone and when I open the dialler app it crashes straight away. It also happens with apps like settings. If I reboot my phone it keeps happening and sometimes it just comes back to normal.
I made this video when it happend last time, check it please to have a better idea of the issue.
Hope someone can give me a hand here.
Thanks in advance, guys!
You tried with some patch files earlier to enable something in your mobile ?
Do you face this issue after installing a specific app?
Try clearing app data.

Hi. The only thing that has patched my files is the root and xposed framework. It used to happen when I had the previous version of android for Honor 5c, i thought the update would sort the problem out.

I've tried that too but when it happens it doesn't allow me to open the settings app either.
Any ideas? As I said, it's like a set of applications stop working when it happens and it's just randomly!
In average I would say it happens once every two weeks and I realize it when I take my phone an try to call someone, then other people say that they couldn't call me during that period....

I had the same issue, with Settings at least, when I was rooted and trying out the Pixel Launcher with the app in to the /system folder to allow the Google Now feature to work. Settings would be fine sometimes after a reboot, not others. Going back to the "normal" Google Now launcher has never made it happen.

hi. Thanks for your answer. The bad thing is that it keeps happening, and I just upgraded the version of my firmware to the latest one (v130) and it happened again the other day. The only thing I haven't tried is to use the phone without rooting it. I haven't changed the launcher, so in my case that's not the problem unfortunately.
If anyone can think about any other cause :/
Hi !
It happened to me with dialer and settings apps.
Try to wipe cache and dalvik cache in TWRP.
Hey Poine45!
I did that, but it happened again :/. But I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Widgets not opening associated apps

I have a very nice new K20 Pro direct from China. Because I'm not a big fan of MIUI, I'm running Action Launcher. My only problem is with widgets: I can place them, they function as normal (updating automatically and on touch, or playing - Pocket Casts - etc). But the associated app doesn't open on tap. Not on a single widget. I've granted all the apps all the permissions I could find, de-restricted battery on those apps, allowed apps to start other apps, all to no aviail.
I thought maybe it was something to do with Action Launcher, but it does it with Nova Launcher as well, which suggests it's a MIUI thing.
It's a little bit annoying - such a simple thing! Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

It's definitely a MIUI thing. I had the same when using Evie Launcher. For me it worked for the first couple of times after installing the widget, then stopped altogether. I found MIUI is very aggressive at killing backgrounds processes and services and so put it down to that. I never managed to found out how to fix it. But as soon as I could unlock the bootloader I've been on GSI ROMs and haven't looked back. Everything works fine again now.
It has to do with the app permissions, I had it too and I fixed it
Try to give it permission to start in background.
That seemed to fix it for me.
Oh and in developer options, I also scrolled down all the way, and turned off MIUI optimization.

Thanks, I did all of that. As best I could, they don't make it easy to find these things! No change. Anyone else?
Solved - somehow!
So it started working. Widgets open apps on Action launcher.
I actually switched MIUI Optimisations back on in Developer options, as this allows you to access more permissions, and I made sure again that Action Launcher has every permission granted to it. It now asks every time I open any app for the first time if it can do so, and I think that was what was holding it back before. Also made sure there was no battery restriction on the launcher itself. So now the phone is functioning as it should, and I can enjoy it fully.
Edit: And I also gave Action Launcher accessibility access...
Same here
I've just come across the same problem. For me it was the option 'Display pop-up windows while running in the background'. that had to be enabled for the app in question.. Apparently the last system update either disabled this for all my widgets or introduced the feature in the first place.
der_faebu that did it for me, thanks.

Well I figured out the solution:
Go to settings --> Installed apps --> Permissions --> Additional permissions and then Allow 'Start in background' for the apps which are not getting opened. No way to do this for all apps in one click though....

This fixed my problems:

game genie issue

Hi guys I just got my rog 2 and I'm experiencing a problem with the game genie app. Whenever I launch the game or any app that I listed on the game genie, the game/app will act like I have no internet connection upon launch so it won't load but when I unlisted the app on the game genie it will work just fine. Can anyone help please cause I need the block call and notification feature. Thanks.
Only thing I can think of is the storm network acceleration option in the amoury crate.
I turned it off already but still no luck. The only thing I can do to actually get into the game is by going in and out of the game using recent app button until I logged in then I can play the game. But it's annoying I hope someone could help me or am I the only one experiencing this? Should I ask for replacement then?
Did you try to force stop armoury crate, and clear cache and storage. See if that works.

Personally I have no issues with it, I didn't play a lot of games but it seems to work properly. Having said that I still don't understand the issue you are facing. If the X mode is on the Armoury Crate pop up message will not pop up instead if I want to use any of its settings I can "swipe from the side to launch it". If the X mode is off the Armoury Crate pop up message will show up, all of this has nothing to do with the internet connection whether I am connected or not I don't get notified. Anyway without suggesting things that might waste your time. My suggestion for you is to undo things you did and factory reset your device to the way it came. Then see if that resolves the issue. Clearly your issue is a software thing which means it can be resolved either by you or a future system update.
Or...you are missing doing something!

The problem is only when I open an app with the game genie on. The x mode has no problem and it worked just fine. I think Im gonna wait for an update. Thanks man.
It’s not a game genie issue. The memory cleaner crap causes this. Check that app and tinker with the settings

How to prevent ColorOS[CN] setting from changing back?

I realized that when I change some settings in ColorOS it magically changes back without telling you.
I installed Google Assistant from the app store. It required Google Assistance to be selected as the default Assistive App [default value : none]. After I changed that.. it changes back at some random amount of time.. I'm not able to work out how long it takes for it revert the setting.. but sure enough it will.
Another App is LastPass.. It requires me to Enable Autofill from accessbility Options.. Once again I turn it ON.. after some random amount of time it will revert it back to "Off"...
What can be done to stop this from happening?

Happens to some degree in the EU model too,noticed the lastpass app autofill stops amongst other things. Am thinkin maybe it's the Phone Manager app which I think kills battery intensive apps if you allow it

I'll give this a try.. I've gone into phone manager -> startup manager and allowed the two apps.. the two apps wasn't there even though I have allowed the app to run in the background.
We will see tomorrow.
Nope that didn't work.. anyone else have other suggestions? Anything to remove delete or hack?

Man,I don't know what the issue is but read on the Realme community that the OS just reverts to defaults to ensure proper functioning of the phone,
ColorOS is certainly the biggest downside to this phone. Am missing OxygenOS on my 6T a lot though I'm Gona stick with the x2 pro for now,
Bought the phone for its flagship specs and storage and and to get away from the hassle of messing around with the phones setting's with tricks and mods.
Have decided to just accept colourOS for what it us.,though there is some battery drain,it's not awful and I'm still getting notifications.
Will just have to hope things improve with updates and the next big update should improve things a lot,mind you,it's a long way to April ?
Not notice anything revert on mine... This sounds like the same issue I had on the mi 9... I can't remember how I solved it but it was something to do with the auto security checks the phone manager app did... After a set amount of time the phone manager would perform certain checks and reset certain options throughout the operating system.

Sounds about right,Have feeling the phone manager app has something to do with it.It does not like the developer options
Ok.. I found my work around for now.
I'm using tasker every 10 mins to change the accessibility options for all the apps that need it and set the google assistant to default.
Working ok so far for the last day.

Seems like more trouble than its worth,the only settings I'm having trouble keeping are the animation ones, but honestly it's not bothering me anymore. Have animations setting set to fast in the stock launcher setting and it's not so bad.
Didn't think lastpass was working but it has been appearing to autofill login to sites in a chrome
Did anyone found a solution? Im having this issues too...
