[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] badabumbum:
I know this is a common problem, but there are so many discussions about different bugs and builds and so much misinformation, i had to start a new discussion. I'm using EMUI 5.0 Android 7.0 b389.

EMUI kills power consuming background apps by default after about 10 minutes. Doesnt matter if the screen is locked or not.

The setting 'Close excessively power-intensive apps' does nothing, it makes absolutely no difference. 'Power-intensive app history' and 'History of closed apps' are empty. But when I use the tool 'Battery -> Optimize' it still shows: 'x power consuming background apps closed', and the services gets killed. I suspect EMUI performs this optimization by default from time to time.

Could somebody with a similar behaviour try the Optimze feature and see, if you can replicate the results? I've tried every possible setting and by now I'm pretty sure, this is a bug.

Second question: Who solved a similar problem by rooting the device and either:

a) Putting the service (for me it is Whatsapp) in the system app folder

b) Disabling the Phone Manager. Here im wondering, if there are negative consequences doing this. Like settings disappearing (e.g in the Battery menu) or faulty RAM management or whatever.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] badabumbum:
Nobody has Problems with notifications or background processes anymore on EMUI 5.0? A response if everything works fine, like Whatsapp notifications, would be great too. Maybe I have a faulty device.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ayush rao:
I don't have any issue with WhatsApp at all or any notifications for that matter. Did u turn on lockscreen cleanup? Also it WhatsApp restored from a backup?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] badabumbum:
It's turned off, but the app is killed even when the screen stays on, so thats not the problem. Whatsapp is installed fresh. I even did a factory reset and just installed Whatsapp, but the problem remains.

Would you mind trying something for me, to go under:

settings -> battery -> optimize

And see if it says something like "1 power consuming background app closed.

If it doesnt say that, then you should see a green checkmark.

Also is your whatsapp power consumption high? Mine is at 28 mAh right now for the last hour, and EMUI seems to decide, thats too much.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ayush rao:
I'm not sure what u meant by optimize but the second I hit it, it killed all the apps on my phone including my services like LastPass and my live wallpaper.

Also I've added my WhatsApp consumption below. Doesn't seem like a lot to me.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] badabumbum:
Thanks for trying that. That means, your phone has also recognized these background apps as power-consuming. But the difference ist, thats what happens to my phone every 10 minutes. Maybe my device is faulty for real.

Ive tried every possible setting, factory resets and new installations. Ive even disabled Power Genie and Phone Manager over adb. Nothing works. Man, this just sucks.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] ayush rao:
So I was just snooping around the settings and I found that I have exempted WhatsApp from battery optimizations.....
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] badabumbum:
Yeah me too, but it did not help. I think this setting is about the doze feature from android. So strange that nobody else seems to have that problem since Android 7.

Is there anyway to get a stock Android for Honor 6X replacing the EMUI. New to this.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Spleeny97:
You can change EMUI launcher to Google Now Launcher or Pixel launcher
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] PaulR11:
You can try a custom rom like lineageOS or rros.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Sengrik:
Is it stable?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] ziad311:
it falls short on stability because Huawei didn't release the entire source code, but devs are on it, and hopefully we'll see some stable releases soon.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Go with nova or Google launchers
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Sengrik:
I am using Google launcher now but you know it's not like the real thing. One thing about EMUI I don't like the most is the way they organized the settings.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Yes. We do see that since emui 4 or MM. Settings options are cluttered now. Earlier it was good
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Sengrik:
It's hard to find anything this way. It's like a maze. Have to go to one option to get to another options.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Agreed agreed agreed. Like security under advance settings, accessibility under advance settings.. even i struggles sometimes funding these even though usinf emui for 2 years now. Luckily they put battery direct or it was under advance as well in MM
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Sengrik:
Yes and searching for settings is also difficult as they do not give direct result.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
Exactly, as far as we could try different setups the problem stands to the root. Settings is the worst menu on EMUI!
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Agreed.

It was good on LP and ruined since MM.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Toilet-Duck:
Hi All,

Can anyone tell me if its possible to replace an updated or "hacked" version of the Kaiser video driver?

Im currently running Slingplayer (Which I need to use to watch my SlingBox Sky+ on) on my Kaiser but the FPS is terrible, I noticed that there are different ROM's to flash to which will help but I really dont want to flash my ROM if possible....

So is it just possible to replace the video driver and simply do a Soft Reset?

Cheers for any help!

Toilet-Duck
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ~~Tito~~:
we dont have a video driver, the rom makes it faster by:how much page pool it has, how the registry is organized and how much ram it makes available. If you check in one of the video driver problem threads there should be methods on putting it there, you just have to SEARCH.
[General Questions and Answers] Zuzler:
My Honor 9 with EMUI 5 has the old timepicker style, referred to as the "spinner". But all new android versions use the "clock" type, which is a lot more intuitive and requires less time to set the desired value.

Any idea on how to force-set the "clock" type systemwide in android? Maybe by editing build.prop in some way?
[General Questions and Answers] Zuzler:
Still nothing new - anyone got an idea?
[General Questions and Answers] Daniel-@-Bee:
Bump

I have the exact same question, for the exact same reasons. This is my only major complaint. I have the Huawei Elate, running Nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] unknownbeing:
It seems like anything that I do that involves the GPU in any meaningful way will crash said app, any 3D games, and snapchat filters that are 3D, even live message will crash.

I've tried contacting Samsung multiple times with this and they haven't been any help whatsoever, suggesting factory resets, etc.

So far I have tried clearing the cache, running in safe mode, doing a factory reset, I even restored the whole phone using odin.

Does anybody have any suggestions/seen this this issue before? I'm out of ideas...

Edit: just tried running Antutu, and it says 3D is unsupported.

Here is my Antutu score with the 3D message.

- WiFi Calling

- HD Calling

- Video Calling

- VoLTE

I figure since people have had the phone for a few days now, maybe there is a definitive answer to be had. I contacted Verizon and they said that WiFi calling and HD calling will not work and that an unlocked phone will remove these features from my account. But, Verizon did say that VoLTE and Video calling will work. I contacted Samsung support and they said that all 4 features will work but that I would need to contact Verizon to enable the features on their end. Seems like a runaround.

Is there anyone with the unlocked variant and Verizon that can confirm what does and doesn't work? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Toad:
I do not have any of those working. I will try calling Verizon. I really want VoLTE/HD calling to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MACHEK:
Yes it works. I had called someone in Verizon and he went through line by line, updated something called mpas or empass,and then I had to restart my phone to get it active. Finally worked after talking to 3 different people. Ask to speak to a level 2 tech if the first guy doesn't get it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] blaidan:
Thanks, MACHEK. Which of the features are you referring to? All of them? Or, specific ones? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] unrequited:
Also curious as to which features (all?) are working now. I will have to go through this process to soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Toad:
Awesome. I will call tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MACHEK:
Yes all (I haven't video called anyone but I did try to myself accidentally and it briefly turned on) All the rest for sure work on my phone

You're the first that I've heard that Wifi calling has worked, that's great to hear! I'll make sure to get escalated when my Unlocked finally comes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MACHEK:
Yeah I had my phone on airplane mode just to check and only had Wi-Fi. Received texts, calls etc no problem. HD calling works too. I tried to reach out to my contact at Verizon for a real good description of what he checked but he hasn't replied yet. It took him a good 15 minutes but eventually he got it. He said he went line by line to double check each setting.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] blaidan:
Thanks again, MACHEK. If your contact gets back to you can you please reply here with the info so I and others know what to ask for when calling Verizon to get these features working on our unlocked phones?

Mr. Toad - Since you're calling tomorrow, if you get any specifics can you please post it as well?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] unrequited:
Yes, if you do hear back, please post with what was necessary to turn on, I'm so glad that wifi calling works, that was the last piece which I was worried about from reading other threads.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MACHEK:
Just some screenshots of it (on a side note it's annoying my theme isn't dark on that one setting, seems odd looking)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Toad:
Yeah. I will hopefully be able to take care of it in a couple hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] leyvatron:
Looks like they also changed your statusbar. Verizon's 4G letters are like that.

Can you check if your hotspot works without a subscription prompt?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MACHEK:
Wow sorry guys I just realized you guys are talking about the non snapdragon version? I missed that part in the original post, but to be honest, a few people even with snapdragon are having this problem of getting it set up so I wouldn't give it up.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] unrequited:
I'm taking about the snapdragon US unlocked variant so please update when you have the details, thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] blaidan:
Yeah, I think we're all probably talking about the snapdragon US unlocked variant. So, MACHEK, I think you're info is still good, correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] leyvatron:
just by looking at his statusbar, I believe he doesn't have an unlocked version.

He must have the Verizon carrier specific Note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MACHEK:
Yeah I bought mine from Verizon but it does show an unlocked lock at boot, are we still talking the same phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] leyvatron:
You can check by going under > settings > about phone and checking the model number or does your phone start up with a Verizon start-up screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Toad:
I just got off the phone. They got VoLTE working. Just turned the feature on, on there side. So far no options for wifi calling or advanced called.

I can now use voice and data simultaneously.

---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

Your phone is probably the regular Verizon version. In about phone what model is it. The Verizon models should be N950UZVAVZW, N950UZSAVZW and N950UZKAVZW.

My unlocked phone is N950U1. I purchased directly from Samsung.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Toad:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MACHEK:
Here it is. So you are saying I have the unlocked version? How did I manage that?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Toad:
Now that I am thinking about it probably not.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] skinnytoo2:
I think Machek has the Verizon note.I have the Samsung unlocked one. I have been back and forth worth VZW for a week trying to get my services and features to work. Mainly and most importantly I need premium visual voice mail and NFL to work. Nobody has figured it out yet. Probably gonna return and get VZW note. Sucks because VZW trade in isn't as good as Sammy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MACHEK:
It's that first one on the left
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MACHEK:
I also added silver titanium icons which looked good together with it (seems like we kinda hijacked this thread, sorry)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] blaidan:
So, Mr. Toad - Did Verizon tell you that you could nOT get wifi, HD and video calling on your unlocked phone? If that's the case, that will suck because I really wanted to purchase the unlocked but I would prefer those features.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Toad:
The Rep I talked to was very helpful and looked at all their guides. He said it was active on their side. He basically said he thinks a future update from Samsung will enable these features. I am not holding my breath. I am really happy they got VoLTE working. That was the really important one for me. HD calling would be nice. i never really use wifi calling or video.

I will probably just flash the Verizon Image when it becomes available. I believe they are able to do that with the unlocked S8. Hopefully it is the same for the Note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Jrockz:
I was able to DL the VZW firmware from updato and flash it with Modified Odin that was uploaded on 9/15/17. Everything is working fine. All the features are now enabled. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] skinnytoo2:
Is that a difficult process? I'm am an amateur at the whole rooting thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] blaidan:
Does flashing the Verizon firmware mean that you also get all of the Verizon bloatware as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] neverthehero:
To get the VoLTE working , you don't have to contact Verizon directly. On your Verizon account or even in the My Verizon App , you'll see HD Voice as a feature. In the product section, you can remove it, and then re add it. I got the unlocked and I'm on Verizon. It wasn't there (the Volte) and after I did what I just said, the next day Volte appeared. Visual Voicemail at least the Verizon version of it, won't be available unless Verizon actually put the damn app in the Play Store (or what the other person did by putting firmware on it specifically)... the NFL mobile app though, I don't know why that wouldn't work since I"m sure it just checks against the number you are on.. I'll have to try it out.... Otherwise can watch it on the Go90 App.... I do find it ironic that people rail against bloatware (and sure some of it sucks) but it's literally some of the features that people are *****ing about not having on the Unlocked Variant. I said this in another posting and it's worth repeating because I saw someone say that a rep told them that Samsung is coming out with an update for WIFI calling I think.... No one should ever believe a rep when it comes to update information. Unless you get lucky and talk with someone that has a contact within the department that actually develops the damn software, no one really knows. Hell I'll give an example of Find My Mobile , No Samsung Verizon variant since the Note 5 has that feature on the phone. I asked a Samsung Rep about it when they were around and they said well when Google took over the anti-theft lock out etc.. well Low and behold, the feature is on the US unlocked... So why is it not on the Verizon one? Does it interfere with something on their network? Is it a cost thing, does Samsung charge companies for allowing it to be enabled?... It certainly can't because Verizon has another solution to unlocking your phone if the security lock isn't working. I've asked around and it's always "working as intended"... I guarantee you if you called either Samsung or Verizon directly, you'd get two different answers.. One saying the update is coming and the other one saying it should be on there, maybe you need a new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BlueFox721:
Just flash Verizon firmware

---------- Post added at 05:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 AM ----------

The Verizon firmware is available to flash:

Here is your link: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=3F727F749A7B11E7963AFA163EE8F90B
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Toad:
Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] blaidan:
I haven't done this process before. Is there a good starting point to read up on the process? Does flashing the Verizon firmware mean that you also get all of the Verizon bloatware back as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] odesskiy:
Of course. Your phone will be in the exact same state as any new Note 8 bought directly from Verizon. Bloat can be easily disabled though. I had thoughts of flashing Verizon ROM but now that HD/VoLTE is enabled, I really see no reason to. I like having Samsung Cloud and FindMyPhone available. It amazes me that I can't get a Visual Voicemail Client, but Google Voice works great and it transcribes voice mails, which you'd have to pay Verizon $2.99/mo for. I have no need for Wi-Fi Calling as I have great signal both at home and in the office.

The only weirdness I've experienced so far was trying to buy Samsung Premium Care. The process has you take pictures of the front and the back of the phone in the mirror. The order came back as cancelled because apparently there is "physical damage to my device", even though pictures clearly show that it's absolutely fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] unrequited:
That's the biggest feature that I'd like. I dunno if I'll go Verizon or unbranded image when my unbranded phone gets here in two weeks. Still a tossup.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Toad:
Link is not working. Can't find the firmware on the site.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] blaidan:
Thanks. You mention HD. Are you saying HD calling is achievable on the unlocked Note8 on Verizon? I didn't see anything that firmly stated this was the case. Unless I read it wrong, I thought that of WiFi calling, HD calling, Video calling and VoLTE... only VoLTE was achievable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] odesskiy:
For what it's worth, I was on the phone with my wife for quite a while yesterday and the call quality was amazingly clear. Sounded like HD Voice was enabled, but I don't know how to verify for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Toad:
When you flash the Verizon firmware the system will believe it is the Verizon phone. Everything should work. They are the same phones, they just have different software.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MACHEK:
Is there not any way to get find my mobile on a Verizon phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] tedkord:
It doesn't just check the mobile phone number - when I flashed the unlocked firmware on my S7 Edge, NFL Mobile no longer recognized my phone, and prompted me to pay $99 to stream games. Flashed back to VZW stock and it worked immediately. I'm really hoping that I can just flash the VZW CSC on the unlocked Note 8, download NFL Mobile from the Play Store, and it works. But knowing Verizon, it's a modified apk for NFL Mobile bundled on their phone, and you can't get it without all the other bloat. Fingers crossed that I'm wrong.
