SMS Apps Refreshing - Checked battery optimization already... - Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers

I am an avid user of Textra, I've thoroughly checked the Battery Optimizations and turned off "auto optimization", which has helped quite a few of my apps stop from restarting every time switch apps and attempt to return to them.
I tried reinstalling the app to no avail. Basically what happens is, every time I am in a conversation, "go home", and attempt to return to the app, it has restarted on the main conversation page vs the conversation I was in. It's super annoying when you're trying to sms back and forth with someone and you have to keep clicking their name to continue talking to them.
I tried installing YAATA as well, and it is having the same issues. I looked at all the settings and see no internal reason the apps are restarting. I currently am using PULSE SMS and it's working fine, and is not restarting each time I multitask to another app and back.
I have also checked under Developer options to ensure "Don't keep activities" was not selected, and that the "Background process limit" is set to standard, which it is.
Any advice?

[Q] Annoying "application stopped working" pop-up message. How to turn it off?

[Q] Annoying "application stopped working" pop-up message. How to turn it off?
I'm on 4.0.2 stock and the app that stopped working was Taptu (RSS-reader).
I have set the widgets of the app to update every 2 hours and I figured the reason I got the message was that it was trying to update, but could not for some reason. I went into the app and tried multiple times, getting some of my feeds at a time, until it all worked.
Oh well, but my problem was that ICS gave me this annoying pop-up message that the application has stopped working. I pressed "OK" but it came up 3 times before I went into the app to check. I guess it was trying to update all those times.
The problem was that damn spammy pop-up message ICS gave me. I was in the middle of taking pictures.
I don't want those pop-up messages at all, is there any way to turn them off? I couldn't find a box to tick/untick in settings.
if an app is crap, and it seems is it, uninstall it
why u want keep an app that crash all the time?
That was not my question, but you're right none-the-less.
My point was that I don't want that message. Every app can stop working / FC or whatever, it happens, especially on a new platform.
I just don't want to get those pop-up messages from the system, in the middle of doing something else, and would like to turn the messages off.
i understood ur question, but i don't think u can disable that message..maybe in a future custom rom it will be possible
anyway, im using my gn from 2 months on the stock rom, and i saw that message very few times, usually on a new installed app, so soon uninstallet because it was not working..and never when an app was in background..a working app should work..none of my actual apps/games (about 80, maybe not too much anyway) crash
You're right about not having to live with a badly working app, but when it's working Taptu is very nice.
I love the ICS widget where you can go through stories like cards, the same way the photo-album works I think.
I'll keep an eye on it in the future and maybe have to search for a replacement.
But any app can FC / stop working, I don't want that pop-up message ever. I could live with it being a notification message, but that pop-up sure is intrusive.

Lag/crashing/Sense Home not working

Hello there,
I am posting this thread with a problem. Roughly a year ago I purchased the HTC M9 (after 2 very satisfied years using the M7). Up untill about a week ago everything was working fine for me, the only small issue I've had so far is the lack of memory space. Although this issue was easily solved by simply upgrading my device using a Sandisk SD card.
However, since a couple of days my device started overheating very quickly and lagging. Again, I tried to fix this by rebooting the phone and using CCleaner to clean up some of the junk on the device. Now here comes the actual problem: this morning I was simply using the Youtube app to watch a video when my device suddenly crashed (with 50% battery life). I plugged my phone into a charger and booted up the device again but I get a an error report saying "Sense Home stopped working", which means I'm currently unable to use my device. For some reason the HTC report function is bugged aswell, as I cannot seem to send an error report to HTC.
Can anybody tell me what is going on here and how I could solve this problem? I'm very dependent on my phone because of university and work and would like to fix this as soon as possible and preferably not with a hard reset.
Thanks in advance.
Okay I went ahead and tried out something myself based on the following on a thread on androidcentral com titled ""Unfortunately, HTC Sense has stopped" loop" (I'm not allowed to post links yet)
So I went to Apps and cleared the cache of the Sense Home app (without being in safe mode). My phone started working again, but I lost alot of information as apps like Whatsapp and Google Chrome are completely reset and I lost my contacts. Is there any way I can fix this process?
I cleared my cache but my device is still keeping me in that damned Loop. I don't want to lose my pictures or videos. What else can I do? I have an HTC One M9.

"Boot the phone as per normal, ignore the "Sense Home has stopped" message for now.
Pull down the notification drawer,
Tap on the cog to get into settings (once in settings clicking ok on the "Sense home has stopped" message should make it dissapear so you can see what you are doing),
Go into Apps,
Go into Sense Home,
Tap on storage,
Tap on "Clear Data".
This will delete all the data stored with the Sense Home app, not your photos or messages of contacts or anything like that.
You will have to re-configure your home screen(s) though :-/
Once you've done that you should be good to go.....You may need to reboot."
I have the same problem which started at the same time.
Tried everything, clearing Sense cache, system cache from recovery, installed custom recovery and Revolution HD rom its all the same... Everytime after few minutes or hours same problem occurs! Loop Sense crashing, rebooting, wifi turning on and off by itself...
Please someone help
Hi guys, I had the same problem just two weeks ago. Tried cache clearing, factory reset, yada yada yada. Despite all the error report pop ups I managed to use Google app to get to play store, and updated sense home from there. That did the trick. I lost all my contacts and apps but still the phone works again.

Thanks, great solution, apps and everything still there - I was so worried. For me this problem was a show stopper, do I even consider getting another HTC phone?? Why can't HTC modify Home Sense to disable the alert, once initiated, when the battery is fully charged, then this very annoying, irritating and phone disabling problem would just go away?

Do Not Disturb Issues

So this is driving me nuts. I just picked up an S7 Active, and restored my data from Samsung Cloud. Everything restored fine except for Settings. That part fails every time. No big deal, I thought. I just set it up again how I like it. As soon as I got everything how I wanted it, Do Not Disturb immediately started acting super-weird. It turns on by itself, and it takes 2-3 times of turning it off to get it to stay off. When I finally get it off, it resets the settings (stays custom, but turns off all alarms, calls, and messages). I want it to allow alarms and calls/messages from favorites, and as soon as I enable those, it automatically turns Do Not Disturb back on. Turning it off again starts the whole loop over. Clearly, my Do Not Disturb settings are corrupt. Is there a way to wipe those settings, without wiping the phone and starting fresh?
Not a super helpful response, sorry in advance, but i think you may have answered your own question. Sounds like something got corupt in the copy over.
With out manually looking at all of the settings and or alot of trial and error... you may just have to reset it and start fresh...
But when you say wiping the phone, i just want to confirm that your intentions arnt to go factory reset... just do a "reset settings" and "reset network settings" dont wipe your whole phone.

Yes, factory reset, or worst case, ODIN flash the firmware. I just wanted to see if it was something anyone else had run into. I'll tackle this over the weekend. Thanks for the response!
bug
I had turned facebook and gmail to silent notifications. DND has not turned on and media volume has not turned to zero since allowing these apps to show with sound again.
Think every time a notification comes in media volume is set to 0 and DND turned on.

Anyone else having issues with newly installed apps bypassing the Do Not Disturb mode?

Ive noticed that certain apps were still leaking past the do not disturb mode, even though they are not in my exceptions list. Then, I noticed these were apps that were specifically newly installed/re-installed. For example, I had to uninstall Instagram and re-install it. Before this process, the notifications were being blocked properly, but now that its newly re-installed, I am now getting their unwanted notifications.
Another example of an app bypassing the exception list is a fantasy football app called Sleeper. I hadnt had it installed on my phone prior to do not disturb being enabled. Once it installed, I started getting multiple notifications, even though i didnt add it to my exceptions list?
I am going to try to restart and see if that helps, but does anyone else have any tips?
Turning off DND, restarting the phone and then turning DND back on did NOT fix it.
I just take out the trash instead of playing with it
Try clearing system cache.
Otherwise likely a settings issue.
There's no fixing a trashware though...

Question Pixel 6 Pro won't stop playing notification tone during calls

My Pixel 6 Pro has a similar problem ever since the Mar 5 update has been installed. Since then, every phone call I made comes with the non-stop notification tone literally every second. For now, I managed to get around it by enabling the "DND Mode", but it isn't a long-term solution.
Is there a way I can re-apply the same update? or flashing a new one would help?
To be clear, you're saying that you keep getting the notification tone even after answering the call? If so, is it the same as your ringtone?
Is your bootloader unlockable? If so, Official Google Android Flash Tool (OEM Unlocking needs to be toggled on - you may not have to manually unlock the bootloader - the "site" will do that on its own).
It wouldn't surprise me if that doesn't fix the issue, however. Have you tried rebooting? Maybe clear the cache and app data for the Phone app (but then you'd have to re-customize the settings for the phone app to your preferences).
I'm not on the March update, but I also don't receive many phone calls anyway.
that notification tone, during normal time, represents incoming message. It is very short, unlike a ringtone..
Tried rebooting and clearing cache and app data of the Phone app. In fact, that notification could likely come from anything like WhatsApp, Messenger, Twitter...
I noticed that the repeating tones would not happen if the phone is on silent mode. So for now this is my workaround.
Very interesting, and strange. There have been settings in some OEM's phone apps you could enable to get notification tones at regular paces - usually once a minute - while on a phone call, but the issue on yours is only similar since it's constant / every second.
I stick with my recommendation of clearing the app cache and data for the Phone app. I also assume you're using the stock Phone app that Google provides.
In my previous phone (OnePlus 6T), the very same tone happens once in a while, but only at the moment an incoming message arrives. Pretty sure I am not getting a new message every second this time around, and I think it was triggered by apps other than the Phone app. I just noticed that the same symptom showed up when I tried to play video clips from certain apps as well.
And yes, I am using the stock Phone app.
Sounds like a factory reset and only selectively installing and configuring apps, or trying to figure out which app is causing the issue.
If you factory reset, I would first not even restore any apps at all, so you can verify if you have the same problem without any third-party apps installed at first. I would suspect you won't have issues then. And then when you install apps, do it in groups of your most important ones first, maybe at the most 10 at a time, then re-verify each time if you have the same issue or not, then the next batch of app installs. It could be a particular setting in a app as well, so it's possibly merely installing an app might not be enough, so each group of apps you install, make sure and configure them as well.
If you don't factory reset, go the opposite way, uninstall your least important third-party apps and see if the issue disappears. Keep track of which apps you're uninstalling in each group. Keep doing this in reasonably sized groups of apps until you narrow down when the problem stops happening.
Once you find which group of apps being uninstalled keeps the issue from happening, you can reinstall in even smaller batches, among the ones you most recently uninstalled, and eventually find the one causing the issue. In some ways I think it's easier to go the other way around, though, start with a factory reset.
Found the culprit!
Kind of silly: I have installed this app "Internet Speed Meter Lite" when I first started using my P6P, which is for me to monitor my real-time network usage (courtesy of that endless WhatsApp - Google Drive restoring process....). It basically refreshes itself every second and this morning I tried temporarily disabling it, the problem goes away even when the phone is not set to silent mode.
Glad I didn't have to come to the point of factory resetting the device, as I really don't want to go through the WhatsApp restoring process.
Thanks for all the input, much appreciated.
