I'm using Nova Launcher with One More Clock as my Clock\Weather widget. I've noticed that the widget does not update the time regularly - i.e. it'll stop updating after some time and it seems to be fairly random. Once it stops, I have to refresh the widget in order for it to update again. I've tried a couple of other widgets and the behaviour is the same, so I'm pretty sure it's not the widget. I've also gone and ensured it is a protected app, but still the non-refresh behaviour continues.
Anyone have any suggestions or ideas? I don't see it with the stock widget on EMUI...
That happens with emui launcher too. All widgets which are not stock stop updating after a certain amount of time.
Works fine for me. Make sure the launcher and the apps are "protected" in the battery settings. If you want regular android behavior just hit protect all in that menu. This allows apps to keep running and update while the screen is off.
The battery saving options are turned on by default with this phone. Under settings/apps/advanced you can also allow apps to ignore battery optimizations.
If you are rooted you can also just freeze the phone manager and powergenie all together to get stuff to update etc (that's what I did)

I've done everything you mention except rooting the phone. I want a phone that works without rooting, so I guess the P9 isn't really suitable for me. Too bad, as the hardware and general design of the phone is really good, but EMUI really lets it down. Additionally, I'm not happy with the software update strategy for it either. I'm on build 134 for the P9(EVA-L09) and I've seen builds 136 & 152 in the wild for my device variant and geography, but there seems to be no update for my phone. And I have the green garbled images for a lot of the photos that I take, for which I've been waiting on a fix.

I had this issue on FutureRom which i guess waa based on l09.. reverted back to my L19 and the issues don't exist.. might be a buggy PhoneManager is to blame..
But why if you don't mind my asking? I've never used non rooted or non jailbroken phones. You get some nice additional features for free. Every company had phones with broken updates or other issues, if you wanna take things into your own hands and not be dependent on them, you know what to do
Wow that became quite the speech. Sorry :angel:

I'm on that rom and nova and my widgets work fine, not noticed any ones not updating. They are all protected as mentioned above though.

There is an easy fix for that mrsim. Go into main phone Settings (not Nova), hit Advanced at bottom of screen, choose Default app settings, choose Launcher, choose Nova Launcher.

Any solution for custom widgets on EMUI ?
Edit: Trying Ignore optimization under settings - apps - advanced
Did not work. No matter what, downloaded widgets will not update on EMUI. Really bad!

It's been working for 24 hours now updating every hour. Protected under battery settings + ignore battery optimizations under "Apps" wasn't enough, but when I also changed CPU from Smart to Performance it seems to be working. I also re-added the widget on the homescreen afterwards to make sure settings worked.
what should I do on kitkat?
Just thought I'd give a heads up to those thinking of updating to B385.
And also would like to ask if anyone else on B385 are having the same issue/s?
1. My auto-rotate is no longer working, have tested with several different gallery/photo viewing apps, and it stays in whatever orientation the photo was taken in (ie.
portrait/landscape).
2. When I open the 'Recent Apps' menu, I can only swipe to close 2 apps, maybe 3 (sometimes), before it closes and goes back to my home page.
So far this is all I've noticed. Did not have any of these issues on B384, and B385's changelog only mentions an update to the 1 September security patch, no other 'bug fixes/optimisations'.
Anyway these are quite minor and don't really have too much effect on my day-to-day use of the phone. Still waiting for Huawei to authorise B386 (1st October patch) and hopefully these little niggles get fixed.
On another note, is there an official channel where we can log a ticket for these issues? Would like to think they'd want to be made aware of these bugs before the release of future updates.

Have you tried to do a factory reset after upgrade?

Yeah have factory reset after the install. Oh well the Oct patch update should be authorised soon, so I'll see then.
Ok figured it out, seems my live wallpaper is the cause of these bugs.
Switched to a static one, and it's fine. Switched back to live, and issues reappear (although auto-rotate is now working).
First time I've used a live wallpaper, so no idea if this has always been the case (or even if it's due to this particular wallpaper)

Auto rotation works with no problem.
No problem with swipe to close app in recent app. I just closed 10.
Dunno what cause your problem.
You have C636 and i running C432, that's the different.
Yeah no idea, I disable it and everything works fine. Enable again and recent show keeps closing after 1-2 swipes (the first time) after that it seems to work fine.
I have an Unlocked Galaxy 8 purchased directly from Samsung. Right now, everything on it is stock, with the exception of apps from Google Play. Has not been rooted. (Don't have any immediate need for root at the moment, so going to let the root methods mature for a bit.)
I'm having an issue I've had with my last two phones and can't seem to find an answer for:
The default launcher keeps getting reset. I have no idea what's causing. Nova Launcher said it was the live wallpaper I was using, so I uninstalled that. I've looked and looked on post after post and there's no good info other than a hint at some sort of meta-data bug in Android 6.0 and above, but no idea of a fix.
Doe anyone know how to fix this? I was running LineageOS on my old S5 and having the same problem with it. It's annoying to hit the home button and have to select a launcher randomly.
Hi All,
So I have been trying to switch to android 10 couple times (3 exact) but because of it's bugs/annoyances it is really impossible to have it as a daily driver. Here are couple that I've found:
- bottom chin when keyboard is enabled (like really, what the hell. I know that for some folks that option is great and all, but it is making the keyboard unusable for me. I often touch the spot where the space bar should be and because of that writing seems very uncomfortable...
- LAG WHEN COMING BACK TO HOMESCREEN FROM APP - this is the biggest one for me. That problem occurs when you are using a custom launcher (like Nova, Evie etc.). Every time when you are coming from app to the homescreen, there is slightly delay in animation (like icons need some time to load...). That for me is biggest issue. Why do I need to withstand the lag in the system, when I have the fastest android smartphone on the planet?! Yet still i haven't found an solution for that (besides turning the animation completely off....)
If you don't have any those (or similar) problems and for you this update is gods gift then please don't respond....
I'am really disappointed with this Update and it seems that Oneplus is not going fix/change anything at all with it because they have already started rolling out the updates for Oneplus 6...
Feel free to comment on that topic
Thanks
Paweł
Just so you know the keyboard space is on every phone with Android 10, it is part of Googles implementation of gestures. It allows the use of gestures while the keyboard is open without typing or typing without triggering gestures.
Have you thought of using the stock luncher?...
@Snowolf940
Well Mr. Snow wolf, "sucks" is a relative term but I found 10.0.0 too buggy for me so I moved back to 9.5.11 and waited for another update.
10.0.1 solved all of the issues that bothered me except that annoying space under the keyboard. That made it so difficult to type for me. I understand the frustration there.
I stumbled upon this awesome fix yesterday here at xda. -100 did it best for me. The -75 was not enough removal of space.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/themes/fix-adb-disable-black-bar-10-0-1-t3987731
I haven't noticed the animation lag on Nova (which I am using) you were speaking about so sorry I can't help with that. But I would genuinely be surprised if it wasn't ironed out in the next update which personally I would guess would be soon.
I hope this helps you. Hang in there man. There will be better days ahead.
I don't know exactly what the issue with the keyboard layout is, but my keyboard hasn't changed.

It has been stated many times across many threads here at xda regarding the space between the keyboard and the bottom of the phone when using gestures (not a nav bar). When someone is not used to that space, users are hitting it accidentally instead of the spacebar creating many errors in typing. If you are using a navbar this does not apply. The keyboard you are using is not relevant either.

I have heard that this option also cut the toast notifications which is bad
I am just really disappointed with this update. I have thought that the company like Oneplus just can't roll out so unpolished firmware.
Right now iam afraid that going back to 10 will be just waste of time....
+ I also recall that I was not able to turn off the Facebook messenger vibrations without completely turning them off...

I have not had this issue with the toast notification. I also haven't had the animation issue either. There are users having no problems at all on 10 so maybe you need to investigate more.
My only issue was with the keyboard and that modification fixed it.
You have other companies literally breaking wifi and data with updates so if OnePlus adds a space under the keyboard which has a fix, I think most will think it's okay.
But I would at least try the keyboard fix instead of just complaining when others are giving solutions.
The Facebook thing I don't know because I don't use Facebook and that app is the worst app for a phone known to man.
I've noticed some apps crashing, but I'm rooted so it is what it is. Overall no major issues here

Please do not disregard the problem only because for most people Android Auto works fine
Same thing with my issues with Android 10.
So after reinstalling it (4th time, full wipe every time ofc), I still have a delay when coming back to the homescreen from my Lanucher (it doesn't matter which 3rd party launcher I use). It's really pissing me off...
Once again, I do not understand comments like "for me everything works fine/ I can't see the problem". That's because either you are lucky one and Oneplus made a version of software especially for you (sarcasm on) or you are unable to see it... So please don't commit to this conversation if you don't have anything interesting to say. We all know that your version of Android 10 is pure perfect (please brag somewhere else)

I saw that this thread was bumped and I was like, "this dude is still complaining?" :laugh:
I'll report that I'm on ob5 and this is awesome. Android auto running well as is everything else. I guess I avoided the user error bug. I figure, if we have identical phones, and mine works great on the same software another is having issues with, it's either user error or maybe a bad phone and it needs to be replaced? Not sure.

What launcher are you using?
Oh, there's also no delay going to the homescreen on a proper setup. If you want to use gestures on a custom launcher, it has to have quickstep support and you need to use quickswitch to set it as the recents provider

Honestly, I am surprised that nobody else has this problem with the delay or "notices" it. Of course I am happy for you! :good:
But unfortunately I also have this problem and it sucks really!
I have had the problem with Lawnchair, but the Nova Launcher also has this problem. Installing QuickSwitch does not help, it says that the launcher is not compatible with it...
That alone makes me think about either going back to Android 9 or trying out a custom Rom. But the problem seems to be widespread on Android 10.
Actually, the Stock Launcher is great, but I don't have the possibility to adjust icon sizes and grid. The presets are not enough. And I really don't like the drawer with this strange semi-transparent background.
At the end, i really hoping so that one or the either probem(s) will be fixed. I'm soo upset because of this crap but i should not be able to be so on such an high priced smartphone really...
Maybe you are mostly on Open Beta 5/6 and that lag is actually fixed?!..

I have started to notice the lag on launcher when unplugging the phone after using Android Auto.
What fixes it for me is to lock the screen and unlock it again a few times and then if will become responsive again.
This oddly (or not...) also coincides with some server side changes that Google pushed to Android Auto to enable the new features.
Adding here that the theme changes have just gone worse with 10.0.2 - theme follows the car, so if you use a dark theme and the car is in daytime, it will change the theme on the phone to bright when you exit Android Auto.
Also, the audio quality is pretty horrid and still not fixed, but I am experiencing with a workaround and will report when I have more concrete results
I just got a Zenfone 8, and I updated it to Android 12 (UL-I006D-ASUS-31.1010.0410.43-1.1.25-2202-user.zip). I installed Nova Launcher, and I cannot widgets.
Video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10N5oYJ3oG_wWFjtLtrKT5C0awkV49P75/view?usp=sharing
Looking at Nova's logs, I see:
Code:
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to read from field 'com.android.server.appwidget.AppWidgetServiceImpl$ProviderId com.android.server.appwidget.AppWidgetServiceImpl$Provider.id' on a null object reference
So, it seems ASUS's Android 12 build is missing something from its settings app.
Does anyone else have an issue adding widgets? I tried Lawnchair and have the same issue. ASUS Launcher obviously works fine.

Really? Weird. I've had issues on Nova and Lawnchair.
Could it have something to do with my phone being rooted?
There's lot I can try, it's curious that I'm having this issue though. Clearly, I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what.

Mu guess is that you accidentally uninstalled an essential app while debloating. Could that be the case?
I didn't "debloat," per se. Though I guess I did disable some apps that I don't use. I didn't think I disabled anything too important, but I can check that.

Actually NTI, the same thing just happening to me without root on my ZP8.
I've been on A12 for a couple weeks, but my battery life was dismal. So yesterday, I decided to do a factory reset. Battery life improved, but now I cannot place widgets in third-party launchers. (The launcher app's stock widgets do seem to work, but that's it.)
I attached a quick video showing the issue. (Side note – notice how mine says, "Settings has stopped" when I try to add a widget.)
The real pain is this did not happen until I factory reset the other day. In other words, I was able to place widgets in Nova on Android 12 without issue.
I reached out to Nova, who told me that this is an issue with all third-party launchers on the Zenfone 8 running A12. I then tried placing a widget on a few others and found the same problem.
Nova then sent me to talk to Asus, who told me, "Sadly we wouldn't be able to assist with a 3rd party launcher."
5-star response. Anyway, I'm just glad to see others bringing this up. Hopefully Asus makes a fix for the bug.

I switched to using Niagara Launcher, and I am happy and am able to live without widgets... but it would be nice to use them. I assumed re-installing Android 12 would fix it, but I didn't try that. I'm hoping ASUS eventually pushes a new Android 12 build, and that installing that will fix whatever is missing.
In my video, I have the same issue where it says "settings has stopped."
EDIT:
So, I went to ASUS' website and found the download for Android 12 (WW-31.1010.0410.43). And in the description, I see:
This upgrade patch only allows to upgrade from Android 11 WW-30.12.112.72, WW-& 30.12.112.82 versions to Android 12.

I don't know what version of Android 11 was on the phone when I got it. I got the phone, booted it up, skipped through the setup screen and immediately upgraded to Android 12. Then I unlocked the bootloader, thus factory resetting the phone and then I went though the setup for real. After that, I installed Magisk.
So, maybe I needed to upgrade to the latest Android 11 first? But, that makes no sense as the Android 12 upgrade worked. No idea why I (and you) are having this issue and others aren't.

I switched to using Niagara Launcher, and I am happy and am able to live without widgets... but it would be nice to use them. I assumed re-installing Android 12 would fix it, but I didn't try that. I'm hoping ASUS eventually pushes a new Android 12 build, and that installing that will fix whatever is missing.
In my video, I have the same issue where it says "settings has stopped."
EDIT:
So, I went to ASUS' website and found the download for Android 12 (WW-31.1010.0410.43). And in the description, I see:

I'm not sure. But it's super frustrating because I was on A12 without an issue like this. As far as I know, only the Asus ZenUI Launcher allows me to have widgets now.
What part of a factory reset—weeks after I installed the latest update—would cause widgets to stop working in third-party launchers? So annoying. Lol
