Please tell us about the resulting version and security patch level.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeamRainless:
Umm... I can tell you that RIGHT NOW. (I'm the guy that made both that thread and THIS thread :D )

It will be the same Pie as on the first page here with the November Security patch update. I have yet to receive the January Patch... so it's extremely unlikely this person will have it yet either.

I had two X4 phones... one of them I updated with that method and gave to my GF, and the other I just waited and updated via OTA. The result was exactly the same in both cases. No difference at all.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] hugospacep:
It goes very well, my moto x4 runs Pie now. November security patch included

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

I mean the link may not be the same I guess, because I tried the link in first post many times, it never succeed. T'en it was definitively dead. Anyway thank you for all you're the man that give my phone a second wonderful life :svetius:
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeamRainless:
No problem! ;)

I just got lucky... I had basically just GOT the phone about a month or two before Pie came out... so it's still on its FIRST lease on life with me! :laugh:

It's already come in handy because I'm a programmer and there are a LOT of things that are deprecated started with Android 9 that I wouldn't have even noticed programming on my old phone. Now I have phones with Android 6, 7, and 9 to test on so I shouldn't be caught by surprise anymore...
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Comby_sk:
Just got January update, from PPW29.69-26 to PPWS29.69-26-4.

XT1900-7, reteu, Android 8.0

XT1900-7, reteu, Android 8.0. I bought the phone from Norway and came back in Bulgaria. My dad and my uncle have the same model (reteu XT1900-7 8.0), my dad also bought his model from Norway and came in Bulgaria, in fact, he bought it from the same store I bought mine from (NetOnNet), the only difference here is that my uncle bought his reteu from Bulgaria. On all 3 phones, including mine, neither 8.1 has come, nor 9 Pie. It is 26th of April 2019. Is it only us, who aren't receiving the update still ? :(
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] sevenrock:
Same phone model, bought and used in Germany, no pie update yet...
[Android General] pdegraaf:
Using Magisk for rooting is currently a good option for a simple way to root your device reasonably safe, special if it has been done once before. I will NOT work out every step in full detail as there are many good guides around

Warning: you risk your warranty and you might brick your phone if you make an error! It is your own responsibility!!!

Step 1: Make yourself developer in the setup screen

Step 2: In the developer menu allow your bootloader to be unlocked

Step 3: Reboot in the bootloader (power off and keep volume up and the power on until you see the bootloader)

Step 4: choose the fastboot option

Step 5: From your ADB directory type: "fastboot flashing unlock"

Step 6: Confirm on your mobile with the volume up button

Step 7: Download Patched boot image for Ioutdoor

Step 8: Type "fastboot flash boot <filename of patched boot image>"

Step 9: Type "fastboot flashing lock"

Step 10: reboot

Step 11: Install Magisk manager. Your phone is rooted now.

Enjoy your rooted phone!!!

Paul

P.S.: First of all: I myself ALWAYS create a full backup from my phone with the flash tool before doing ANYTHING of this nature. If you backup with the flash tool you need to use the "Readback" option. WARNING: with the DOWNLOAD menu of the flash tool you UPLOAD to your phone, better be warned!!!! Second: If you prefer to create your own patched boot image you need some more steps:

- Find the MT6763 scatter file

- use the flash tool to download the bootloader

- use CarlivImageKitchen to make the bootloader image the right size (unpack and repack)

- Install Magisk manager on your phone and choose the "patch bootloader image" option

bootloop

UPDATE: fixed boot img:

s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=18085276003223938832

Flashing your ioutdoor_patched_boot.img resulted in boot loop for ioutdooor X

Any chance you could post the stock backup?

Any update on TWRP?

cheers
[Android General] pdegraaf:
Sorry I only read your message today. Do you still need help? Send me a PM with your emailaddress I might be able to help you to obtain the stockbootrom. I was able myself to fix any bootloops by resetting the phone using the default recovery rom and do a full reset. Not sure what went wrong in your case but I did notice that the way you reset the phone matters. Anyway the TWRP I have is not fully perfect and you have to be carefull using it: some functions might cause bootloops.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] jeampou:
Hello everyone,

As a new user of this beautiful smartphone I come to ask a little help.

Indeed I try to apply for each contact a different ringtone in the directory, except that every time they call me it's the general ringtone that rings.

Do you have a solution ?

Did I forget to set something?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

PS: Sorry for the translation it's google translation.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Saloei:
I use Google Contacts and when I set a personal ringtone for a contact, it doesn't work. If i set a personalized ringtone for a contact using VIVO Contacts, it will work. Looks like VIVO Contacts supersedes Google Contacts. If you're trying to do this using VIVO Contacts and it doesn't work, perhaps contacting VIVO using Facebook messenger might help with a solution.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] jeampou:
Thank you very much, it only works with the VIVO contact app. Too bad because it is ugly.

By cons can not we put the photos in front of the contacts?
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Saloei:
Settings-Contacts-Copy Contacts-Copy from "yourgoogleaccount@Gmail.com" account will bring all your contacts from Google into VIVO. All you have to do is edit ringtone using VIVO Contacts.

You can use personal photos for contacts using Google and VIVO Contacts independently. For VIVO Contacts just open the contact and touch the photo icon at top center. From there you'll see photo select options to choose your picture. Select photo and touch OK.

With Google Contacts, select the contact and touch the small pencil at the bottom right. touch the camera icon at top center and select photo options. After you select your photo, touch the check-mark at the top right.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] andyb2000:
Hi all,

I know that recently it has been possible to keep the wlan active in standby, but i've yet to see anyone manage to keep the gps active whilst in standby. Doing a few searches doesn't yield anything.

Anyone advise how I can achieve this, is there a registry hack I could do to let the gps stay on when I go into standby?

thanks in advance
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] svcglobal:
?

Just curious, why do you need that? Discharge the battery fast in a couple of hours?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] andyb2000:
I use gps tracking on my phone, and need it to keep track when I put the phone into standby.

The application doesn't keep the gps enabled all the time, only when it needs to get a fix, so its quite battery conserving.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ProudPop83:
Try Visual GPS... That usually stays on... I use it alot.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] andyb2000:
ah sorry, perhaps i'm not clear.

I don't want the device to stay on/screen on, etc.

I want to put the device into standby and my application to continue to upload gps co-ordinates when it needs.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pkley:
TrackMe works just fine for this, all you have to do is hit the Screen Off button and it happily runs in the background. I get roughly 4-5 hours like this if I remember right. I've actually turned it on, threw it in my camelpack and went on a dirtbike ride...worked pretty good!

[Honor Play Questions & Answers] _a!:
OK, the big difference for me between emui 8 and 9 is that on 9 after a few mins the task switcher shows you have less than 1 gig of free ram and from that point whenever you switch between tasks it's clear that it's killed the task you're switching to and freed the memory so it's loading it again from scratch. For every task.

Googling for help here pulls up a lot of legacy results about `protecting` apps but this is no longer in the settings. Maybe on emu 4 or something it was a possibility. There is something in emui 9 about "manage all automatically" in the app launch option in the battery settings but this already has all apps set to "run in background" and changing them to manually managed and keeping the settings the same obviously makes no difference.

I'm not sure what the padlock item means on the apps in the task switcher - you can toggle it by swiping down - but that doesn't make any difference either.

Clicking the trash can on the task switcher only frees up a few hundred megs of the 4gigs of ram in my phone so perhaps there's a memory leak somewhere? Seems a bit unlikely but then again it would explain why this phone essentially now has multi-tasking disabled.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] FaizanAliZia:
Yes I've been facing the same problem of aggressive ram management on emui 9. Infact sometimes it even kills apps like Spotify when it's playing music in the background. Haven't found any workaround to it either. I'm hoping the stable pie build will fix it.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] _a!:
I'm on stable pie.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] The_0N3:
We have this on emui 8 also. Google Play music stops after 3-4 songs and had to turn on screen again.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] FaizanAliZia:
Did it help solve the ram management issues? And other bugs from the beta?

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

No this kept happening to me WHILE I'm using the phone but just in another app. That never happened to me on oreo.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] _a!:
Did what help?
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] SharmaNitin:
Same problem is with Oreo as well.

Most of apps reload when launch them from recent apps.

Even youtube also reloads that too playing video if i switch to some another app. Memory is less than 1Gb available most of the times.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] ademarizu:
My wife is also facing this problem with her Honor 10 (COL-L29). So it's safe to say that the problem is within EMUI 8/9. She didn't have this issue with her Honor 8. Wonder if there's any open bug/issue at Honor/Huawei development team.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] justwondering:
Have you added apps to the "ignore battery optimization"? I also lock apps that I want to run in the background too for faster load times.... Works perfectly for me

I'm on the official Emui 8.2

For ignore battery optimization options follow this path

Settings, apps and notifications, apps, then choose the icon at the bottom "settings", special access, ignore battery optimization.

Change the tab to all apps and then click an app and add to ignore battery optimization.

Let me know how it goes especially on Emui v9.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] _a!:
Yes, I found this setting yesterday. I've set it, and i've temporarily stopped using nova launcher. So far the problem doesn't seem to have reoccured, although oddly just not i enabled chrome (i use firefox but am having problems with 1 site) and during enabling, updating, and using chrome the music stopped playing several times. Available ram remained over 1 gig though so i'm not sure what to think.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] ademarizu:
Unless it's completely different on EMUI 9 (when compared to EMUI 8) this must be how my wife is configuring her apps. And yes, this does not work (didn't work on EMUI 8.1 either).

[IMG="Battery Management"]https://imgur.com/a/az6forE[/IMG]
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] justwondering:
Very odd, works perfectly for me and did so on 8.1 too.. Hmmmm
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] ademarizu:
Could you please try do this test?

1 - Open a game, play a bit.

2 - Open the camera app (with AI option on by default).

3 - Switch to game to make sure it is at the same point as before.

4 - Switch back to camera app and take a picture.

5 - Switch bake to game and see if it's still at same point.

On my wife's phone, whenever she hits step 5, the game relaunches. That's pretty annoying if you're playing something that takes long to fully launches (like Pokemon GO).
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] angeles1migs:
after updating my honor play to emui 9 i noticed that the video stabilization feature is missing from the video settings of the camera. has anyone experienced this? it was there before the emui9, you can toggle the stabilization on/off but now it's missing.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] justwondering:
Same issue, different phone, could be an android 9 issue, oddly enough it is also running November security patch.

https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...-memory-management-issue-in-the-coming-weeks/
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] ademarizu:
Yeah, I've seen that, but since it's a Pie only issue, don't think is the same... Like I said, my wife is experiencing that aggressive ram management since Oreo. But let's hope this bring the issue some visibility and acknowledgement and, let's pray, a solution.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] gazeth:
You had any luck sorting this out?

I have owned an Honor Play for about two weeks now and this issue is really annoying me. I will change my phone if it isn't fixed soon.

I did turn down the resolution from 2340 x 1080 (FHD+) to 1560 x 720 (HD+) and it seems as though it has freed up some RAM. Although I don't really want to look at my phone in 720p.

I guess this serves me right for thinking a £200 phone would be similar to a 2017 flagship.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] ademarizu:
Wait, if you lower the screen resolution, can you run 3rd party apps and take pictures without having them killed? I really didn't try that, but I don't think my wife will like this "solution".
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] gazeth:
Nah didn't work. Selling this damn phone haha!
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] justwondering:
Since my phone updated to android pie, memory issues, definitely some kind of memory leak over a fairly short period of time between 12 / 24 hours, phone gradually has less and less ram, wish I could just roll it back to Android 8
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] ademarizu:
This weekend I'm gonna try factory reset the phone. Let's see if this helps, 'cause I'm really more than annoyed by this. Specially by the lack of support from Huawei/Honor.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] usisseven:
any news on the issue? got myself a p smart 2019 recently but this really annoys me. Writing an a message and checking chrome for fact-check, all written things are gone, because the app has refreshed. I have only 300 mb free RAM all times. I dont have bloatware running in the background. My win10 computer does not use 2 gigs of RAM 7/24, what does android 9 do?? or EMUI 9?
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] _a!:
Workaround: split screen so you have firefox and whatsapp open at the same time.

It's odd that Honor provide (multiple confusing undocumented) methods for preventing apps from being woken or put to sleep but none of them work.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] ravi_thekant:
Go to battery settings, tap on app launch and uncheck those apps which you want to let run in background. And yeah, you're done. :o
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] _a!:
... But none of them work, like I said. The option you mentioned has nothing to do with aggressive memory management anyway.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] digiriff:
I'm syncing photos in (Google) Photos when I realise about this memory management thing.

Photos relaunch everytime I turn on my screen or after I switch over from other apps.

I turned off "Manage automatically" for Photos and turn on "Run in background".

So far it work for me.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] _a!:
Well, we are talking about the Honor Play after all!

No, that option is for preventing apps from being launched in the background, to save you battery, which is why it's on the battery page. It's entirely unrelated to killing already running apps to save ram. There's another option elsewhere which purports to support that but like I said it didn't work. You'd know all this if you read the messages earlier in this thread. It's great that you don't have the problem but that's no use for those of us that do.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] ravi_thekant:
See the attached screenshot, is clear that letting an app run in background option is there.

Switching to 720p screen resolution solved the problem for me on honor 10! Thanks for the Tipp.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] usisseven:
I have tried both of the settings for battery and run in background thing, they both did not work for me. Now I have tried to decrease the screen resolution, lets see if that provides a result but I think it is very silly and stupid to have to do this. I will try to sell this phone, and go back to my 16 gigs p lite 2017, in which I didnt have to deal with such bs.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] tigsandmitch:
If you are using Nova launcher then uninstalling the Huawei launcher appears to resolve the issue
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] tech_infinity:
I complained to huawei customer support regarding memory management, they told me to give remote access to my device. Lol. They didn't even acknowledge the issue.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] badaas:
How to uninstall?
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] AshwijS:
Try placing the phone in performance mode. Although, I have to say, I am not facing this issue. 9.0
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] usisseven:
i just sold the phone, I can not take this :)
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] tigsandmitch:
you have to do it through ADB so if you are not confident then do not continue!

I am not responsible for any loss of data or damage to your phone!

This is what I did and it improved the memory issue:

Make sure you are using another launcher and it is set as default (I am using Nova Launcher)

This will revert the recent task screen to the old style (swipe up and down)

The navigation gestures will not work so you have to use on screen keys or fluid n.g. (make sure they are on first)

Check you have usb debugging on the phone enabled then connect to PC

Open CMD in admin mode and navigate to the ADB directory. Type "adb devices" (without quotes) to see if your device is recognised.

then type "adb shell" press enter

then type "pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.launcher"

this will then remove the Huawei Launcher off the phone,

If you install any updates or factory reset then it will almost certainly come back and you will need to do the process again,

I have noticed a huge improvement in ram management and will see if the next update fixes the issue for good or ill repeat this process
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] calinorg:
Maybe disabling it through adb would be a better idea? This way updates could fail if at any time Huawei decides to use Delta patches for app updates.

I'll wait for others to confirm improvement in ram management before I try it because it is my daily driver and I can't afford bricking it due to updates gone bad.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] tigsandmitch:
Can backup the APK and restore it before running an update ;)
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] veezybaybee:
I recently bought the Honor 10 Lite here in India! Everything works like a charm apart from this recent tasks bull****. The apps reload all the time and its really getting on my nerves now. I tried lowering the resolution, changing the app launch settings manually and even the "ignore battery optimization" under special access menu but nothing worked. This is clearly a pathetic bug and I really hope Honor looks into it and provides a solution in the next update. I wasnt expecting this on a phone which had Pie out of the box. Oh well, the dew drop notch screen and sapphire blue back surely impressed me by far. The Kirin 710 has been performing quite well as I didnt faced any lag so far. The memory management needs to be fixed asap though. Thanks for the tips so far guys. However, only a proper update from Honor can solve this BS for now, I guess!
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] badaas:
Lovely thank you! ?
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] veezybaybee:
Worked like a charm!

Finally! The lame recent apps list is gone now. Good to see the card list again. I also experienced a significant difference in the overall response of the phone. I can easily switch between the apps now and they are not reloading anymore. Seems like Huawei's ridiculous Home Launcher was sucking a lot of memory in the background. Thanks a lot buddy! Hope this wont affect any future OTA updates! :good:
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] dydbg:
I also deleted the stock launcher and the RAM management is a lot better. Hope that a future OTA won't cause a problem.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] pja1985430:
If you encounter any problem with future updates do a factory reset.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] kemo12533:
does it get back the launcher !?
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] pja1985430:
Yes, it gets back the built-in launcher.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] calinorg:
Could someone try this:

It should be possible to restore original launcher without factory reset with this command:

adb shell

pm install-existing com.huawei.android.launcher

I don't have the phone with me for a next few days so I'm not sure if it will work...

EDIT: It works, my friend checked it. When you return you get either huawei launcher or simple launcher, but you change it back to launcher of your choice...

So basically, all packages could be reinstalled WITHOUT requiring factory reset!
