Lock app in Recents disappeared on Redmi 9 - Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers

After a few updates, I've noticed the Lock app feature, which allows you to never stop an application from working in the background, on my Redmi 9 disappeared completely. How do I bring it back? The Miui version is Miui 12.5.3.

I dont think you'll find a solution, on my 9a i bringed it back by using root & Lposed, with custoMIUIzer on 12.0.19 (Dont know if it'll work on your version)
Also, if you cant make it work, you can manually enable this option, just enter settings on the Security app and then on "Boost Speed", there you'll find a "Lock Apps", its exactly the same thing

Broken notifications on MIUI 10

Hey guys.
I have a weird issue with all apps on the latest MIUI 10 release for the Mi 8 SE.
The problem is that I don't get notifications from a single app when new info in it arrives, be it Email, Whatsapp or XDA Labs.
Only when I actually enter the app do I suddenly get to see all the new messages and missed voice calls, as if the app wasn't even allowed to work in the background.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Setting notifications to Urgent may help you.
have you tried going to settings>battery>app battery saver? still waiting for 140 hours bootloader unlock :/

Yeah, I did but it didn't change anything.
The only solution I could find was to lock the specific apps in the background with the recenta menu.
However, that increased the stand-by drain.
I have to wait for around 250 hours.
In the current Miui 10 beta, the default notification settings for most apps are set to off.
Goto to settings > notifications > app notifications
And you have to turn on individual notification types for every individual app in there. Doesn't fix the lock screen notifications though.

It's all already enabled. I even set the notifications as Important.
I'm not a potato, I know that MIUI is tricky but things that should fix the issue don't seem to work on the latest MIUI 10 build.
hello i want get a MI8 soon, but working notifications (mainly whatsapp) are important for me, will there be notifications in the Always on display or when the notification arrive that the display on for few seconds, and does the notificationlight work? i dont want first open the app for see if there is a new message, i need the push notifications working. any news ?

Lock the device without pressing power button

Hi guys, I'm new using Samsung phone. Is there any way to lock the screen without press power button? I saw an app called "Good lock" but it's server down
You can use Soft Lock Screen from the store

Firstly,
it depends what "Samsung phone" you got.. a Note 9 or what?
Secondly,
as far as i know ? ,
if you use a 3rd party lockscreen app, you canot use Fingerprint etc to lock/ unlock and certain other apps eg like some banking apps.
You have to use a stock (Samsung) method.
Good lock 2018, is only available to certain markets,
worldwide.
I do not have option to install Good lock 2018.
I have installed standalone, NavStar app (Samsung)
(ApkMirror website)
which i believe is part of Good lock 2018.
It has navbar lockscreen option.
Works fine, no issues.
I'm sure there is other Samsung options also. eg Edge panels etc.
See screenshot
If you don't mine an onscreen floating button, you could use the Assistant menu found under Accessibility, Dexterity and interaction to get a floating always on button. You select the features that you want or turn off all the features except the lock one.
you can just set it to lock after 5 seconds when the screen goes off.
Nova Launcher Prime is another option - You can use gestures to screen lock by double-tapping screen or double-tapping the status bar.
Sorry not mentioned , it's Samsung Note 9. I tried install Good lock 2018, but can't use.

Then you are in same boat as me.
I couldn't install Good lock 2018 directly, due to market restrains, etc.
I had to separately in install each standalone app
that's included in Good Lock 2018.
I downloaded these standalone apks.
from ApkMirror website, also i had to download
Activity Manager (free) from Google Play .
It's an app to create shortcuts, to enable you to access each standalone app settings, as it the apps
won't appear in app drawer.
See screenshot, for
some of standalone apps (Good lock 2018) and Activity Manager app.
I have a Note 9 and use a screen lock app from the store. It lives in the notification area and you just tap to turn screen off.
I use Nova Launcher Prime gestures to lock screen by double tapping screen...

Use the Navistar "add a button".
Just on screen lock put the nav bar with the off button.

Notification badges gone after MIUI11

After going from MIUI10 to MIUI 11, I ain't got anymore notification badges.
I tried to re install Poco launcher but it did nothing.
To have them I have to stop POCO, erease cache, disable notifications of the app I want, go to "desktop" then stop Poco, enable notification of the app I want end then... I got notification badges
any help please ?
My phone is the same, Xiaomi Mi 9. After updating to Android 10 / MIUI 11, none of the third-party apps show icons badges anymore, including WhatsApp. I've tried everything I could think of.
I had the same issue with my Mi 9T after Android 10 (yes it's a different phone but same temporary solution may work for the Mi 9). If I go into Notification Access, toggle Nova off, then back on, badges work until I turn the phone off. Then, upon restart, I need to redo this step again. It's only a temporary fix & I hope Xiaomi permanently fix it with the next update. This issues also affects the MiBand notifications & the same process is required each restart.

MIUI 11.0.1 killing apps and notifications nightmare.

Hi everyone.
I've recently got a 9T pro for it's great camera and features. It's got MIUI 11.0.1 global rom (non-rooted).
However, I'm having a nightmare to deal with it's issue of killing background apps. I need apps, especially Calendar events, Gmail notification to pop-up and stay there until I cancel/snooze them, but the notifications either never pop-up or if on rare occasions they do, they are quickly forced closed once the screen is locked.
Now I would say I'm pretty advanced user for android phones, but this issue is totally baffling me. I've so far:
Enabled Permissions for ALL apps.
Disabled Battery restrictions for ALL apps
Checked all notifications and made sure they were all enabled.
Developer Options > Disable MIUI optimisations
I'm still having the same issues, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
You might just want to upgrade your rom. Those early versions of 11 were extremely buggy.
Don't disable MIUI optimisations! Just disable battery restrictions on apps you don't want to be closed, enable autostart on those apps and in recents menu lock apps you want to keep runing in background.
Thanks very much guys for your assistance.
turbine - I've already tried to do an OTA update, but it states that there are no further updates as yet. I assume this is down to my service provider? In which case, how do I get the latest version?
mnmchill - I thought miui optimisation where it aggressively closes down apps?
I've already disabled battery restrictions and enabled autostart for every single app.
What do you mean by lock the app, because I can't find such option on mine?? How do I get to it?
Cheers.

MIUI optimisation is now for a lot more than just killing apps and your system will not be stable if you turn it off. New MIUI betas don't even have an option to turn it off so in some time if will be unabled to turn it off on all new MIUI versions since turning it off makes more harm than good.
Locking app in memory is the first thing you should do to keep apps not killed. I thought you already knew about it so I mentioned it last while I was giving you suggestions. Basically you just open Recent menu and you'll see there windows of apps you opened recently. Now just hold your finger for a 1-2 seconds on a window of app you don't want to be killed and 3 options will pop out and you just choose option with padlock icon. That way app will be always in the background and will never be killed(battery optimisation must also be turned off for that app, of course). Do this procedure for all your apps you don't want to be killed and that's it since you just need to do it once per app.

Hi! I thought the miui optimisation was very aggressive for memory related events & had opted to keep disabled since miui 6 & later on..
What changed in miui 11 onwards ? Where can I read the latest info on it?

Ahh right. I'm sorry, but maybe I'm old school, but I called this option task switcher/task manager
I've now padlocked the relevant apps, but the menu recents still allows me to get rid of the app by swiping my finger across it, but the padlock otherwise stays on.. Does this mean it'll still be running in the background?
I've already disabled battery optimisation for all apps.
I red it on Mi 9T Pro telegram channel where one developer explained and, to make it short, basically he wrote that disabling MIUI optimisation on latest MIUI versions doesn't change much and that its cons definitely outweigh its pros. Also latest MIUI beta versions have that option enabled by default and removed from developer options and it's impossible to turn it off. Some day that beta will become stable MIUI version so no one will be able to disable it anyway.

If apps stay at recents menu after you press X at the bottom of recents menu then they will always run in background but if you manually remove app from recents by swiping your finger across it then you manually killed that app so it won't run in background anymore.

Thanks for clarifying this. Since your helpful advice, my phone seems to show notifications much more often. I'll need to try it for a bit longer. I'm not too happy with the fact that if I swipe my finger accidentally, I'll end up closing the app especially if it's got a padlock icon enabled.
Also, even though I've selected that my notifications and their content be shown, they are not appearing on the locked screen. Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks very much!

Question Double Tap to screen off on launcher?

Seems like that the functionality in the settings menu is only working from lockcreen and not on launcher...
Is there a way (preferably with the stock launcher) to do it? many apps break the lock screen/fingerprint...
I'am on miui 12 global, all stock: got the phone yesterday from offiial MI store Italy...
I assigned a long press on the Home button to turn off the screen.
Search settings for assignable button functions.
Vai in Impostazioni Aggiuntive - Collegamento tasti.

Here on the Mi Note 10 (I'm waiting for my Mi 11 Ultra to arrive) it doesn't work either (for after the last update). And gestures also donā€™t work on other launchers (only in stock).
I simply have a widget on the home that locks the screen when pressed. Look in the widgets, you'll find it. Not the best solution but it works.
When you get to 12.5.4/5/6 the double tap to lock screen works flawlessly
Not working for me in 12.5.6

Xiaomi decided to implement full gestures only in stock launcher not in system UI and not in poco launcher within Android 11
Workarounds:
Install from GooglePlayStore:
Infinity Gestures
Fluid Navigation Gestures
Use CustoMIUIzer
Laucher -> Gestures -> there you have a lot of options

My Fluid Navigation gestures app dies after a while.
As in the gestures stop working (After a few minutes, or after a reboot), so had to switch to Edge Gestures.
Had Autostart enabled, Battery features disabled etc..
But didnt help. Is there anything additional that you did ?
Double tap works fine for Mi 11 Pro on 12.5.7 (same firmware) did not know it was available until I went through the settings again.

It had stopped here once, then I put it in the control center (status bar), left it without the battery saving restriction and activated the automatic start. After that it hasn't stopped yet.
