Stock 'App Lock' bug(?) on Nougat B378 - Huawei P9 Questions & Answers

I've previously used the stock App Lock feature under the Phone Manager function on my P9 which has worked flawlessly up until the recent upgrade to Nougat.
Simply put, the Facebook Messenger app is no longer showing up in the list of apps that I can assign a fingerprint lock to.
I've tried wiping the cache and reinstalling the Messenger app but it just won't play ball.
Is this a problem others are experiencing or one that I should escalate to Huawei as a bug?
Any suggestions or feedback much appreciated. Thanks!

Unable to contact location service to update your current location

I unlocked my Rogers HTC One the other day and now I'm seeing this error when I try to use location aware apps such as the camera and when I refresh my weather. GPS seems to work fine in apps like maps but the phone no longer seems to know where I am. Any ideas? This is annoying and also means my camera is no longer creating events based on my location.
Having the same issue, with my still stock HTC one. Anyone has a solution? :/
There is another thread on here reporting same problem and have seen this mentioned on other forums too.
It seems to be a bug in the latest app updates from Google. Don't think there is a fix for this yet but some users reported a factory reset fixes the problem, but I am hoping for a quick fix from Google rather than resorting to reset
It is very frustrating tho! Btw I'm also on stock Rom

i had the same weather problem and waze just crash whenever i open the app
decided to factory reset and all is fine now

If you now soft reset your device does Google Location Services stop working again?

[Q] Swipepad, and the likes of it NOT working

So, i have been using Swipepad as my default app for quick launching apps from any given screen, by simply swiping from the screen´s edge.. so far, no problems with my other phones, even a Huawei Ascend Mate.. however, it seems it´s NOT working in the Huawei P7, i mean, if you are inside the swipepad app, then it works, but the moment you go back to the "desktop", swipepad is automatically disabled
I have tried with other similar launchers and there is no luck either... anybody knows how to fix this? or whether there is some internal process running that "kills" these kind of apps? If anybody could try to install and try this kind of apps on their P7 and let me know if it works, i would be very grateful,
Thanks!
Do you already know how to solve this problem? Because I have the same issue here with my Huawei P7.
Thank you, best regards!

It's not a problem, but a security protection made by Huawei in order to avoid harm apps that might log or screen your password, bank account or PayPal details, etc..
In order to avoid Swipepad or Facebook Messenger popups keep being closed, you have to:
1. Open "Phone Manager" in your app drawer
2. Locate the tools icon in the top right corner and tap it
3. Tap into "Dropzone Manager"
4. Check the apps whose you want to appear on your screen and also the anti-theft programs (like Cerberus or Kaspersky) in order to let them take ninja screens when your phone gets stolen

Notifications Missing

Hi,
It seems that the Huawei Mate 6 had some issues with notifications (according to Google search) and i seem to be having problems too. Sometimes my WhatsApp notifications dont come through until i open the app and also the same from games like WordFued for example.
Anyone have this? Or a solution?
I may have found a solution.
As well as having the apps selected in protected apps I also open them and there go to recents and swipe down on the App I want notifications from and a small lock simple appears on the App.
So far I'm getting all the notifications for the apps I require but I suspect this won't work after a reboot.

Push Notification Issue

I am still having issues where push notifications are not popping up until I open the app. I.e. whatsapp, kaokaotalk, allo messenger
I've tried using PNF, factory reset. Everything.
I've frozen phone manager and power genie but still it's not working.
Has anyone found a solution? Or should I downgrade to another version other than B170?
This topic has been brought up before but it still seems like there in no solution.
Has anyone found a proper fix?

I have p9 lite and had the same problem, I fixed it by protecting the app in the phone manager app and connecting to VPN (Opera max) any other can work too. Thats how it works for me. Can you try to connect with VPN app on mobile data and test it?

Apps Incompatible with Current System Version

Good day, this notif has just appeared to me recently and I do not know why. Whenever I download, whenever I update.
It prompts me, App incompatible with current system version. I do not know what triggered it but its annoying.
No it doesn't prohibit me fron using my app, yes I can still use my apps even if I update em. New downloaded apps works too. But that prompt is just annoying.
Could anyone help me regarding this as I have searched google and found answers / solutions that were not working for me.
Thanks
did u fix it bro>?
I'm having the same issue. It just started recently after resetting all app preferences in main settings. Nothing different other then the annoyance. Is there maybe a way to block the one particular notification?
Same issue here. Any fix?
same for me with my rooted phone. Is there a solution?
