Recent apps is not working - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

My recent apps soft key is misbehaving.
Everytime i hit the recent apps button, my HTC 10 opens up the multi tasking screen rather than the previous apps screen. I was able to intermittently fix the issue by restarting the phone but that doesn't seem to be working anymore.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this ****ty problem?

Try to do a factory reset and restore your phone's initial settings and the issue should be fixed.

Long press on home button not working

Hi,
My home button long press stopped working, I don't know why. Google Now doesn't show up when I long press, it used to...
I went to Settings » Apps » Configure Apps » Default Apps » Assist & voice input > Assist app and it's set to "Google app", so everything is configured properly.
The home button itself is working. When I press it, it goes to the home screen. And it«s also working for fingerprint unlocking. The only thing not working is long press to open Google Now.
I'm on a completely stock ROM, I only have Root + Xposed. I've already tried to disable Xposed and reboot to see if any modules were preventing the long press, but nope. The problem persists without Xposed.
What could it possibly be? Any thoughts?

Does the Google app work on its own? Did you install something like Greenify or Titanium Backup and freeze the Google app?
Yes, it works on its own. I have greenify, but I haven't freezed anything related to the Google app (just Google+). Everything else hibernated are non-Google apps.
I just disabled Greenify app, rebooted and the long press still does nothing. I guess the problem is not Greenify...

Still nothing...
This was working a few days ago... And when I long pressed the home button, a white line started to appear around the screen from the bottom to the top until Google Now on Tap screen showed up. But now I got nothing.

could you try reinstalling google now to see if this persists?
I doubt the problem is Google Now. In the option I mentioned in the first post, you can pick the assist app and I switched to something else, it didn't work either...
But I'll try that anyway and report back...

This is really bothering me because I don't even know what caused (is causing) this... I hate to be clueless like this
I cleared Cache and Dalvik/ART Cache, didn't fix anything (it introduced a bunch of other problems actually).
I'm desperate, I really wanted to fix this.
No one else has any ideas?

sorry buddy can't find any other way than previously suggested
It's OK, you did all you could and I appreciate that. Thanks.
This sucks man. Now I don't have that thing working and I have no reason why...
Did you find out the source of the problem? I've just finished setting up my new BlackBerry KEYone and noticed the same problem. Others report the feature works for them. I've installed the same apps I had on my previous phone.
Seems like I have to factory reset and set up everything again…
bump!
I have the same problem on huawei p8. It was working well then abruptly stopped.. i've followed all advice but nothing has resolved it.. If i turn off the reading text on screen and screenshot toggles in the assist options, google on tap loads but it's just the google now screen.. nothing about what is on screen. the reading text on screen was awesome especially for translations.. i hope someone can help us resolve this.

Go to settings ~~ app ~~Google ~~~delete cache and data..
For me its working..

Screen sometimes slow to turn on, occasionally freezes when attempting to unlock.

I've only noticed this since running the August security updated and its happened across three ROMs so far (Screwed, Pure Nexus, LOS (No gapps)). Sometimes the screen takes for ever to power up. Once it is up the lock screens responsiveness varies greatly. Not always in the same instance as the screen issue but when unlocking the device it will momentarily freeze. Sometimes locking itself again..
Curious if anyone has seen anything similar.
How are you restoring your apps when you flash a ROM? If you restore them from a Google cloud backup you could be restoring corrupted data that is causing the problem. I had that happen when a utility app completely screwed up the scrolling on my phone. I did a factory reset but restored my phone from a cloud backup and the problem came back exactly the same. The next day I did another factory reset but set up the phone as new and manually downloaded my apps from the Play Store. This time the problem was gone.

I'm not sure if that could cause the same problem but presumably you are restoring app data along with the apps so it might be possible. Have you tried using the phone in safe mode to see if the problem still persists? It seems unlikely that what you are experiencing is a known issue with the August security update since we are more than halfway through the month without anyone else reporting a similar issue.

Yeah that would make sense if you are seeing the same thing. I may jump back to a known good build and see what happens
I had a very similar issue with tremendous lag in screen on and unlocking.
It turned out to be Kernel related, I was using Kirisakura Harmony Kernel, while it was happening to me, I flashed Franco R8 kernel and all is well.

So I was experiencing REALLLY SLOW screen turn ons. Like it could take 30+ seconds. But the phone was awake as my LED was on, and fingerprint haptic feedback.
When looking for solutions, I found this post. I use Auto Hide Soft Keys, to hide my status bar and nav bar when I dont need them. When disabling (and even after re-enabling), the problem was fixed (for now anyways)
Can you elaborate on this post? Do you have some experience with nav bar hiding causing slow screen turn ons?

Apps Closing Unexpectedly

I don't know if anyone else is facing this issue but after update, apps close expectedly and it is very very irritating since important data is also lost in some instances. I have reset and cleared cache but nothing has improved.

Give it around a day. It will get solved. For me it did.
Edit - Don't use any themes downloaded from Playstore or anywhere else. Just use the themes that came with the phone and see if there are any crashes or restarts?

Make sure you have not applied any theme.
Also turn off the option to automatically close power intensive apps in the battery settings.

If clearing data doesn't work, I guess you need a factory reset

Hi all I've this issue too someone have solved?
I have this exact issue. It started after the update to B183 firmware. I've checked all the battery saving settings, did a soft and hard reset, but the issue still lingers. I've called Honor support line and they asked me to hard reset the phone, but I told them that I've already did that. They asked me to take the phone to a repair center but I live in a island and the center is on the mainland.
Ive had an Honor 8 before and had no issues whatsoever with any updates. Honor dropped the ball on this one.
If you can rollback, that will be the best decision

Don't use any custom theme or font.
Also set your screen size to normal.
I too had this problem and did a factory reset. The issue persisted even after the hard reset but was gone in a day.
I guess give it time to settle down.

Recent apps not showing

Whenever I click on recent apps the phone shows no recent apps..after I first encountered this issue I did a factory reset and it worked for 24 hrs and then I have the same issue... Phone is on latest update.
I also faced this issue. I could pinpoint to some changes made in my Settings, and after I reverted these I got it all back. Now which really effects is a wide window, but I could broadly point it to display settings and few apps which I had disabled. So, you may try re-enabling any disabled apps and reverting settings one-by-one.
Splendid colour settings was the last I enabled, but now I haven't faced this issue again.

My issue was resolved by but it happened all of a sudden
I am trying to replicate the issue, if I make some headway I will post it.
Dont know how its happen,when phone keep in safe mode..and after restarting from safe mode its working now.
I have faced this issue twice. I am not sure on the resolution. I personally had to reset it both the times to get it working. As far as the cause goes... The first time I faced the issue when I tried to install XDA gesture navbar app. Even after uninstalling the app the recent button didn't work. I can confirm before that the recent button was working.
The second time was the next day itself. I factory resetted the phone and I was on my way to office in bus when I decided to install a oreo launcher 'Launcher oreo 8.1' which i used flawlessly on my moto g5 plus. And after installation of oreo launcher and setting it as default launcher my recent apps was gone. The problem started occuring. As you may have guessed uninstalling it didint help. After that I have not installed any launchers and everything is working fine. This weekend I will try to recreate the scenario and see if I can find any resolution to this. I thought it was a unique problem to my device and it occurred for the tweaking and everything. But now it seems that other people are also facing these issues with different triggers.
I am facing the same issue. It happened all of a sudden today. I did not install anything new.
Any tips to resolve this except from factory reset?
Please help!
Update
Wokring now. Switched to safe mode and uninstalled zenui dialer, weather and launcher apps to old version.
Not sure which app is causing this.

Putting the phone into safe mode and restarting it fixed the issue on my device. Thank you for your advice.
Boot in safe mode and restart

Booting into safe mode works. First power off normally, then hold power button to power on, release it when the Asus logo comes and hold down volume down button( dont press power button). Then use the recent apps button and restart normally.
I faced the same issue after the OTA update but this fix has been working for the last 5 hours just fine.
for rebooting in safe mode,press and hold power button>press and hold on power off option>pop up appear to go in safe mode
Disable zenmotion and reboot. Worked for me. What a broken phone!

pls could you put the steps, as i did reset, still issue persists and day by day the issue is growing and kind of screen keeps waking up
Reset the device. When you setup, don't add your email and continue. Once you reach the launcher, add your email address, install applications and configure settings.
