Widget stop updating - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi all,
Unfortunately with the EMUI 8.1 on Android 8.1 with the P20 Pro the widget updating is still not working (see also the thread in the Mate 10 Pro).
Or is there something I did not consider?
Any help is appreciated.

No, you are not alone. Many many users have this problem. I think there is a problem that all apps are to much sleeping and dont wake up. Can be a bug in EMUI 8.1

Make sure you go in to Settings > Battery > App Launch then pick the app and choose Manage Manually and allow to run in background, I found that helped with some of my widgets that should update.

Even the stock calendar widget freezes, what a crap.

I cannot confirm this. The Huawei Calendar widget works fine and will be updated as soon as you start scrolling. Unfortunately I don't like the widget neither the calendar app...
There must be a solution for the programmers available from Huawei.

There is only a message "problems loading widget", not scrollable. You can remove/re-add the widget, and after a short time this happens again. EMUI makes most widgets useless, even when using another launcher.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4483354&stc=1&d=1524412888

Just got the phone and noticed this as well. I have my current S8+ running with an identical setup using Nova Launcher and I can see its widgets updating correctly while P20 Pro does not.
Any solution?

i'm using KGWT for widgets and seems to be working fine

The 'solution' so far is to go in to settings and change your display resolution and put it back, this refreshes the screen and also the widgets, other than that, no one seems to have a solid solution.

It seems like it is a bug with EMUI. The developer for Calendar widget pushed out a new version with a potential workaround fix for the widget on Huawei devices, but it still seems to not work correctly. Given Huawei's track record, I fear a fix is not close.

C782 latest update fix
I just received the 110 C782 update and the widget bug is now fixed!

Did you test this at least for three days? No? So, wait and watch, before starting to cheer.

Pessimistic, much!
It will be 3 days by 8am tomorrow morning so I'm pretty confident......most of the bug reports were noting the scrollable widgets stopped between 1 and 24 hours after activation.
I did wait 2 days before I posted.

Allowed to cheer?
So its now been 3 days 2 hours and 20 mins with widgets working correctly, for me at least I believe its properly fixed.
Huawei has also closed my ticket in agreement.
Happy Days!

Same here! Seems Denmark are among the last to get the update.

You could always go the Funky route?

I think XDA should close those Funky paid services (if any) forums and threads, and ban every user advertising it.

Prolems With Whatsapp on my P7-L10

Hello everyone!
For the last two month I've been a happy Ascend P7-L10 owner (except for the music player, but that's another story). I just faced a little problem recently when my girlfriend left for China (compulsory semester in a foreign school), as we now only use whatsapp to talk. My problem is that I receive my whatsapp with, sometimes, a 30 mins delay. As there is a 6 hours gap between Bejing and Brussel (where I live) I can't/don't want to miss any of her whatsapp, I've thus switched back to my old iPhone 4 which works perfectly fine for Whatsapp.
Long story short, I would like to know if there is something I got wrong in the configuration which can cause such a delay. Has any one of you faced the same problem and solved it? I would LOVE to go back to my Ascend device.
I don't know if it's worth mentioning but I'm on stock ROM, which I rooted (if that makes any differences).
thanks a lot for your help!

OK everyone, as nobody seems to know and I found a solution, Imma post it right here:
Push Notifications Fixer (root or non root) fixed my issue and I now receive my Whatsapp as soon as they are sent (tested about 10 times with my brother, at different moments of the day). I hope this is gonna help some of you too!

power-intensive apps being killed

Hey all,
there is probably nothing new for you that the long-running application consuming some bigger amount of power are killed after some time on Huawei P10 (and on other Huawei/Honor phones using EMUI). I use Runkeeper for example and it's always killed after some time (1-3 hours). I tried those:
Settings > Battery > "gear icon" > "Close excessively power-intensive apps" > Off
Settings > Battery > Lock screen cleanup > "Don't close Runkeeper app"
Apps > Settings > Special access > Ignore battery optimization > "Allow Runkeeper app"
I tried to kill "Power Genius" system app. I tried to kill "imonitor" system app but it's started again in a while
I tried to open the recent applications and lock the application by a padlock.
There is nothing more I could try. Still the same issue. So my question is if there is some workaround for that even when I would have to root my phone.
Thanks!!
Try to Open the recent application and click the lock icon to keep the application from being killed.

Thanks for reply. I tried that but it also didn't help :-/. I updated the list of attempts in my first post.
I installed the new update B133 and it's seems to be fine so far. I biked with Runkeeper 4h30m yesterday.
update: nope, it didn't help

Same probleam with me cant fix
It seems that the only workaround for that is to buy a big powerbank and keep a phone charging all the time you are running a power-instensive app. Then the app is not killed.
I hate Huawei. They do not reply to my mails and a support does not work. This bug should be fixed for a phone like P10.
I had a similar problem with Strava. After an hour or so it was killed. Hopefully the issue gets solved in the B164 version.

I hope that also. The option to turn off this aggressive behavior is in the settings but it obviously doesn't work. I'm pretty sad that I didn't find any way how to report this bug to Huawei. I just got an anwser from Czech 1st level support that I can complain about it to a seller. I hope that they know about this bug and they are going to fix it. It's already 3rd update and this bug is still there.
Did it get fixed?
I’m currently looking into buying a new phone, and I came across the P10 and fairly quickly this issue caught my attention - I’m not going to buy a phone that automatically kills the programs I want to have running, so does anyone know if this got fixed?

Massive Galaxy Apps update

Went to Galaxy app store and checked under "My Apps" I had updates for messages, Bixby Vision, Live Messages and about 8 or 10 other apps. They weren't there yesterday, so you all might want to check. I'm not sure what's different yet, but it was a hell of a lot of updates.
Thanks for heads up, here's what I got

That's the only useful new feature of all the updates.. rest all are related to integration with bixby.
It was pain to reach all the way up on this everest tall phone to pull down the notifications, real pain with one handed use. Now the issue is solved.
Thanks for the info

Yep and it broke my subs black theme for messages. I had to uninstall reboot and reinstall. All good again. I get concerned when they update the UI because subs applied can crash the UI then we need a factory reset.
touchwiz also updated. the new drop down menu in home screen settings might be new for some people but I downloaded a previous apk version from sammoble.com that already had the notification pull down option. FYI sam mobile uploads most of the apks a lot quicker then Samsung lol.

Bugs i found.

Good Morning.
I bought this phone 3 days ago from amazon, i noticed some bugs i want to share. Maybe i'm just a noob but i can't find a solution so i ask for your check.
1. It's impossible to disable WhatsApp notification. Everyone can read msgs' previews even with the phone locked. I didn't test notification from other apps. Just disabled sound and lock screen preview but it still show it.
2. can't turn off touch-disable function. It's impossible to use the phone inside arm-bands. It seems they forgot the otpion in the Smart Assistance menu.
3. FM radio has not the RDS function.
I'm sorry i can't add attachment with system infos but i'm not allowed to do it cause forum policies about new users.
I would appreciate your test,
Thank you.

HI, for notifications I still can't figure out how to set WhatsApp notification only with flashing led, without sounds...
And in the settings I haven't the option to set the touch-disable function... Could you tell me where you found it please?.
Notifications - Do try it Yourself, remember that You have to manage it inside Whatsapp itself as well.
Touch-disable is in smart assistance at the bottom od the screen.

Hi,
regarding the touch-disable function, this is the smart assistance menu... i can't find it.
Also searching "touch" word in the menu gives no relevant results.
That's the problem with different phone versions.
I do own an Indian/Chinese version 3GB/16GB.
Model LLD-AL10. CUSTC675D3
I do have PRIVATE SPACE, APP TWIN , DOUBLE TAP TO WAKE, touch-disable function. etc
Sadly I do not have an NFC which was one of the reasons I bough't this phone.

Anyone else notice notification bugs on Oreo?

I updated to Oreo last week and i noticed when i got Spotify on and locking the screen, the play bar is black and the controls are out of place. It used to look good before the update. Same with Textra, when changing the theme colour to white, i get this weird grey dot next to the name of the sender (on the lock screen). Also notifications from Messenger on the lock screen, the profile picture is out of place. I've already used factory reset twice.
how did u update?
