Settings Not Changing

I recently rooted my Samsung Captivate using SuperOneClick 1.9.1. The only things I have done since rooting the device is allow sideloading (by editing settings.db with SQLite Editor), so I can install apps from Amazon Appstore and used Titanium Backup to delete bloatware.
I noticed that when I installed SwiftKey that I would click 'Enable Swiftkey' and then click on Swiftkey settings only to be told that I need to enable swiftkey in order to change the settings. I thought it was a problem with swiftkey.
However, I then noticed that the phone kept reverting to USB Debugging Mode and only after three attempts was I able to disable USB debugging and mount my drive. I finally figured out that it's a problem with changing settings; can anybody tell me how to fix this? Thanks.

Super one click 1.whatever has the option to enable side-loading ( 2nd tab! ) so you really waisted some time on that one!
if you are running a custom rom, they are made to keep debugging on, it doesnt stop you from doing anything.
to enable swift key:
menu button > settings > locale and text > check swiftkey to enable.
ive never used swiftkey but that is how all other keyboards go....
all else fails install a custom rom / pre-rooted, crap removed, extra options, side loading tethering ect...

More info
The problem isn't just SwiftKey or USB debugging. All settings on the phone are screwed up. I hold down the power button and bring up the options:
Data Network Mode: I restarted the phone and 3g was enabled. I clicked on the data network mode and disabled it. But now it's always off, yet it says it's activated (and I can't set it to deactivated)
Airplane Mode: I can't put the phone in airplane mode, nor can I do this from the settings menu
Sound: This works fine
On the Power Control Widget:
Brightness: I can change brightness, but the icon stays the same
Sync: This button works fine
GPS: This button is not responding
Bluetooth: n/a (the button lights up, but I don't have bluetooth)
Wifi: n/a (the button lights up, but I don't have wifi nearby)
The settings menu:
I know that Swiftkey and USB debugging are giving me problems
As for the custom ROM, I was having problems with the the signature error on 2.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051197)
I'm going to try out the advise from that thread and see if I can resolve this with a custom ROM. Normally I'd say this is "throwing out the baby with the bath water," but I'm excited about putting a custom ROM on my phone for performance reasons.
If there is another solution, I'd like to know about it because I want to be a little more adept before installing a ROM on my phone. Thanks.

I was going to install Serendipity 6.4. Do you have another MOD that you would recommend?

Anyone else missing gmail notifications unless screen is on?

I have no power saving settings on like aggressive doze or close high powered apps.
Ill just let my 3T's screen turn off and send an email to my gmail account from my work email. I will not get a notification unless I turn on the screen.

Yes, I have this issue only with Gmail, Oxygen 4.0.2.

Same here.
It happens with WhatsApp as well but I hadn't had time to troubleshoot it.

Gmail/Inbox use normal priority notifications as opposed to high priority, therefore will never bypass Doze. For some odd reason however, selecting Do Not Optimize makes no difference. This issue is not specific to the 3T.

I have noticed this too with whatsapp i can't remember if it started happening on 4.0.2 or when i flashed a different kernel, probably 4.0.2 related

I have exactly the same issue ... mostly with gmail and possibly with other apps like Whatsapp (I need to use my phone more to be sure) but surely and deeply with gmail.
Sometimes I receive push notifications on my OnePlus3T (running OOS 4.0.2 and unrooted) flawlessly, sometimes it takes a delay from one minutes to several, sometimes I need to wake up my phone (with the Jedi move of waving my hand over the proximity sensor) and sometimes I need to open the gmail app and force the update with a slide.
I think I also notice a random delay for the notification even if the screen is on and the phone in use, which seems to exculpate the doze mode but I'm not 100% sure and it is much more rare.
This is really annoying to me as I didn't have this issue with my old Nexus 5 and which I don't have on my work iPhone. I try to convince myself that it is not a big deal but it's not easy ^^.
I tried to contact Google on this but they weren't helpful on that matter.

There a 120 pages post on the OnePlus forum about this issue on the OnePlus 3, even before OOS 4.
Can you tell me where is the "Do Not Optimize" option you're talking about (despite it is not working, strangely) thanks !

if you are ready to sacrifice a little bit of battery life, you can turn off Doze. You would need to do that in 2 places.
1. Settings -> Battery -> Three dots top right -> Aggressive doze and app hibernation -> Turn off
2. Settings -> About Phone -> Keep taping Build Number until phone marks you as a developer -> Go back one screen -> Developer Options -> Doze mode -> Turn off
I hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip.
I will give it a try but read on the OnePlus forum that it was not really a game changer.
I hope people working on Android know about this "feature" and will correct it soon if it has an impact on all Android N users !

I have that same issue.
Everything was working for me perfectly then all of sudden. Notification for Gmail Google plus and WhatsApp stops working no matter I am on mobile network or WiFi.
It work only when I open the app
I am on RR Rom

The easiest fix I found for my work email (Nine), which wasn't getting timely push notifications... was to just turn off battery optimization for this app. That made it perfect and instant notifications again. Presumably it uses more battery in this mode, but I still need it.

How exactly does one turn off optimization? I can't find that option. Thanks

I guess this is issue with number of handsets, I am facing this issue in my leeco LE 2 as well. Thinking of upgrading to op3t just for this issue but found this thread, what a bummer.

It's kindof hidden:
Go to Settings-> Battery-> 3 dots in upper right
Then in Battery Optimization section, select 'All apps' from the pulldown selector at top.
Then find your app and change it to 'not optimized'

Yes it was kind of like an easter egg but I found it. Notifications are coming in on time so far I hope that's fixed the problem. Thank you

I dont find Gmail in the listed app?

In the Battery Menu/3 dots I don't have a Battery Optimisation Section but 2 settings (with my own translation from French to English, sorry about that) :
- apps hibernation & doze
- greedy application management
In the first option, there's a selector to activate or not the Apps hibernation & aggressive doze --> I disabled the option (and one can choose the app to optimize or not, but gmail is not on the list)
In the second option, I have a selector to allow to shutdown automatically "greedy" apps --> I disabled the option
However, in the Applications menu, while choosing the wheel then the Special Access Menu, there's an option for "Battery Optimisation" in which one can choose - one by one - the Apps that are optimised or not.
Anyway, for me, disabling the Doze mode in the Developper options seems to solve the problem with Gmail but i still have issues with delayed/lost notifications for other Apps (Twitter, Le Monde, ...).
And I'm running 4.0.3

That's weird, I do have Gmail listed in mine. Make sure you set it to show all apps.
Also, I haven't done anything unusual with Gmail, like converted it to a system app, for example. It was flashed as part of Gapps Micro.

FI, just posted a bug report on that issue : https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/random-delay-with-push-notificatio-ns.500958/

How do I get "lock screen cleanup" to respect exclusions?

I have tried everything I can find in the settings but apps that are excluded from "lock screen cleanup" are still closed.
I have locked them in the recent apps panel, I allow them to use background data, data saver is disabled, but regardless, the apps are always killed by locking the screen. I thought this aggressive battery behavior was supposed to be fixed in EMUI 5.

I am suffering with the same problem on my P10 where background processes are killed after locking the screen despite having set them not to close the app and its service are killed sometimes when the screen locks. Android 7.0 EMUI 5.1 VTR-L29C432B151
Is there any solution for this? - I use a Zoiper for SIP calls and it is being stopped and I am missing calls

Turning off the close option in Lock screen clean up did not make any difference but, I did see in settings -> Battery -> "Settings Gear" an option to 'Close excessively power-intensive apps' and turned it off - but not tested it long enough to see if it fixes the problem.
----- did not work

Yes, same here - missing notification from Ring doorbell, missing updates from Tile and Life360 and Withings watch not synchronising automatically... Annoying behaviour.

Ok, tried something today and so far apps aren't closing - even after a few hours. Open Settings | Apps and click the settings at the bottom. Tap Special Access | Ignore battery optimisation... Select the apps you want to keep alive by switching to "Allowed".
I also have Battery | Lockscreen Cleanup disabled for all apps and the "Close excessively power-intensive apps" option unchecked.

When I do that I only get a list of a few Apps, the ones I want to keep running are not included - Is there a way to add them to this list?

Tap the arrow to show Allowed or All.

Sorry for the false alarm folks. Overnight all apps were closed again, regardless of the "Ignore policy" setting...

At first I thought it was working, but eventually all the apps that I needed running always were terminated and had to be restarted manually.

This bug is so incredibly annoying, is it by chance fixed in VTR-L29C432B164 - I am getting so fed up with this phone killing services that I rely on to be running all the time - I don't care if they consume more power, I just need them to keep running.

I have the same issue on P10 Lite WAS-LX1AC423B171 this is the latest firmware I could install. Driving me mental!!!!

MiHome - notification issue

Hello, that is my first topic over here and I would like to ask you for help with the above-mentioned issue with notifications from MiHome app.
For about 3-4 weeks I was fighting with that issue, but now I'm totally out of any ideas.
I gave all the permissions I found for that app:
Settings->Apps->App launch->MiHome manage manually - also the 3 dots on the top right corner again manage manually and checked the 3 ticks as well
Settings->Battery - over here I have no power saving mode enabled. Again checked the App launch from that menu and the result is as above
Settings->Notifications->MiHome - enabled also in DND mode
Settings->Apps->Apps->3dots->Special access->Battery optimization->MiHome->Don't allow
In that way the app is running ok for a few days and then again all the notifications are blocked for unknown reason.
Is there someone could help, as I'm at the edge to get another phone and that is something I don't want to do?

Did you find any solution? I've been without notification for more than a year... (P30) and no hope... I think I will change to Sonoff gateway and sell my Xiaomi devices...

Question [Origin OS Ocean] How to get push notification from various apps (like social and messaging)

Like the title say, I'm in trouble getting the notification of any app I install : I disabled vivo.pem as suggested in one other thread and allow notofication per single app (that were turned off before) and last disabled the background battery optimization for those apps.
No luck after all, as nothing show up when I send whatsapp mess e.g.
Any ideas?
(Latest Origin firmware)

I had to use the uninstall command on vivo.pem to get my notifications to work, disable didn't help me on the latest firmware.
Also, check the app permissions, hold down app, info, app permissions.
Turn off (remove permissions if app isn't used)
Single permission settings (turn all on the switches), you can also review permissions
Go back 2 screens and select notifications, select all sliders and then check your desired app notification is going out via priority display.
Finally go to settings, battery, background power consumption management, and change the setting for the app you want to not sleep by choosing high background power usage.
So annoying, I know, too many settings and easy to forget one
Good luck!

Thanks for the time spent in the long answer; however still no notifications on the tested app (whatsaap) with all the reccomended settings.
Is since 2015 I think that I don't have a chinese firmware phone and the things have changed, in fact, before, was enough to install play store and all the notification were received without further settings.

Hey Guys,
i also did every setting as told and my Notification for especially WhatsApp isn't working at all.
Sometimes it does, but then all of a sudden it just refreshes when I open the App itself.
I even put it down in the Bar with the 5 Main Apps, in hope those would be refreshed or kept alive in the Background.
Not sure anyway what you mean with uninstalling vivo.pem.
Suckz kind of, because apart from that it really is a great Phone... aside from Android Auto not working.

You have to plug in phone on computerand run ADB command to uninstall vivo.pem.
Vivo.pem is a system that aggressively shut down apps to save battery power, to much shut downs and notifications stop working.
Check the thread "Origin Os initail review" on here and you will find out how to do it. Takes only 10 minutes

After doing the uninstalling did it stop the issue?

I uninstalled, rather than disabled, their power saving vivo.pem, ensured all my apps had priority permissions for notifications, disabled battery saving, and added them to 'autostart' in their respective permissions, and I get proper notifications for all the social media and messaging apps. The only small glitch come with Google Messages which won't display notifications in system wide dark mode. You can get around that by enabling the 'chat bubbles' option in Google Messages settings as they do work in dark mode.

Notifications are not the only issue , i cannot select Mock gps location app in Developer Mode ...
I press on the app i want to use ,but nothing happend , the app is not selected .
Anyone noticed that too ?
Thanks

There is no need to uninstall vivo.pem, I think. Just some few steps:
1. Go to recent apps and lock it.
2. Settings -> Apps & permissions -> App manager -> WhatsApp -> Permissions -> Single permission settings -> Autostart and Startup enabled.
3. Settings -> Battery -> Background power consumption management -> WhatsApp -> Select high background power usage.
4. Settings -> Battery -> More settings -> Disable Sleep mode.
Works fine for me.

Do you use Whatssup? after the latest OS update it cannot connect to linked devices
