From time to time various system settings get switched to off:
- Device administrators
- Notification access
- Accessibility
I've already deselected all MIUI battery optimizations, so not sure what's happening.
One potential culprit I suspect is Mi Cloud. When it's running a backup, I notice that these settings get reset, along with some other settings (my Nova Launcher; Google Keyboard gets selected as default, whereas I had chosen Swiftkey).
These are the ones that come to mind, or that I've noticed, but there may be others.
Suggestions?
I also notice that Xposed asks to reboot, as if it was switched off and back on.

apps are automatically closing even it is running in foreground after installing update. I updated into 10.1.3.0 via recovery mode.
any suggestions how to solve this?
TIA
Check if switching off cleaning app cache in battery options changes anything.
clear cache when device is locked is already set to Never.
I couldn't find any other option like that.
i have the same problem with my Poco. But i'm on EU ROM
I tried to disable energy saver for these apps, put them to autostart and lock them in recents.
every attempt doesnt solve this "issue".
before on oreo based MIUI10 that was no problem at all.
I had this issue with Gadgetbridge app. It's an app to interact with smartwatches, so it needs to stay in RAM.
Solved it by disabling "Turn on MIUI optimization" under "Developer options".
Just notice that it will reset some display options (size and font) and apps permissions.
In Settings -> Smart assistance -> Accessibility -> Downloaded Services, the apps installed there keep getting turned off.
I'm running Type Machine (keystroke logger) and Smart Launcher, and neither will stay enabled. I can turn them on, then a while later, I'll get a notification that Smart Launcher is unable to turn the screen off, and directs me to this setting, where I find both disabled again. I haven't been able to pin down a time frame yet, although it will happen multiple times between reboots. Neither setting survives a reboot, either.
Anyone seen this before? I've found a few reports of it on Reddit, but no solutions. Can't believe I couldn't find anything about it on here.
Aside from this and other small annoyances like the touchscreen apparently losing calibration, it's a fantastic phone.
I sometimes have this issue with nova launcher as well. You can go battery settings > app launch > turn the two apps to manual manage. It may solve this issue of them auto turning off.

Thanks, I've done that and will keep an eye on it to see if that solves the problem.
I have this issue frequently with MacDroid. I have MacDroid set to manual battery control and have excluded it from pretty much all system management. It also has every permission known to mankind.
Oddly, even when Accessibility shows that MacDroid is disabled, sometimes (most of the time) it continues to function. So this may be a UI bug as much as a system disabling the services bug.
The cause I am not sure. I only know the downloaded service for Nova Launcher gets auto turned off if you switch back to Huawei launcher. However, it does NOT get auto switch off when you remain on nova launcher.

It doesn't seem to affect apps running at all, merely affects certain specific features. In the case of Type Machine, it seems to just be blocking its ability to capture words coming off the keyboard app. The app is still running, I can still see previous captures, it just stops capturing.
With Smart Launcher, it says it's needed specifically to "allow Smart Launcher to expand the notification panel and the quick settings panel".
I changed the power settings per Koong1's suggestion... they turned off again after a while, but I re-enabled both, and they've stayed on ever since. So that may have solved it.

You can try restarting your device to check if they stayed enabled. If it does, then they are pretty likely to remain stay enabled in the future.
I rebooted the S6 and when it finished I had a notification on the Lock Screen that said “System UI”. I had no idea what this meant, but when I scrolled left I got a gear, that when I pressed displayed a screen for setting a bunch of notifications (and possibly other things).
I went out and looked for how to make the System UI settings available in the Settings, but didn’t find anything that worked on the S6. Pulling down Notifications and holding the gear for "several seconds" didn't do anything, and the instructions for using the Nova Launcher don't match what comes up in the Nova widget.
Are all the settings in the System UI screen available elsewhere? Is there a reason this is hidden?
How do I open this setting screen without having to reboot the tablet?
Thought I would post my question to this general Q&A thread, as the Pixel 3a community is pretty small and my specific question isn't necessary device/ROM specific.
Background: I'm on a Pixel 3a running the January update (QQ1A.200105.002). Unlocked, stock, rooted with Magisk v20.2. Only using 3 Magisk modules (systemless hosts enabled for ad blocking, YouTube Vanced, and a custom font).
What happened: While cleaning my screen with a microfiber after work a few nights ago, I accidentally launched the SystemUI Tuner. I had created a gesture within Nova Launcher to access the SystemUI Tuner. It launched and toggled the "plugins" setting on & off. I then navigated to the homescreen. My wallpaper was gone and the background on my homescreen was black. Also, my 2 button gesture navigation was not present and my status bar was gone. I rebooted. This is when I found myself in a bootloop at the "Pixel is starting..." screen (a screen I had never seen prior to this).
Attempts to fix: Through a tip from another user I was able to get back into the phone by disabling my PIN screen lock security via adb. I did this by launching Settings via abd with:
Code:
adb shell am start -a android.settings.SETTINGS
After disabling screen lock security, my phone would boot, sort of. Many SystemUI elements are not operational (e.g, no gesture navigation, status bar, notification panel, or wallpaper, etc.) . It's unusable as a daily, but I really don't want to wipe and set up all over again if possible. Does anyone know where in /system the settings data for the System UI Tuner is stored? Another user suggested I look for: data/data/com.android.sytstemui.tuner. That directory does not exist, unfortunately. This user experienced this same series of events (i.e., toggled SystemUI Tuner "plugins" and ended up with no wallpaper at the "Pixel is starting" loop). The user tried sideloading the corresponding OTA image, flashing a full system image with "-w" removed to save data, safe mode. Nothing seemed to help. Before I spend hours setting up my phone after a clean install, does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
TL;DR: Does anyone know where the system saves setting preferences configured via the SystemUI Tuner?
During the MIUI first-boot setup process, I chose to import settings via Google from a previous Android One Mi A2 lite. It seems some settings were imported which are now still active but I cannot seem to change or reset via the MIUI interface:
* Battery saver mode - turns on when battery falls below X%, enforces dark mode and no vibrations etc
* 'Bedtime' red tint - turns on/off at the time set on the old phone, but I can't modify this via the MIUI settings
Is the MIUI implementation of these features separate from the underlying Android, or why is this happening?
More importantly, is there a way to reset these settings?
I managed to access the Android battery saver settings (which are indeed at least partly separate from the MIUI ones) via Google Assistant and the command "show battery settings". This opens a rudimentary UI which allows one to change the imported settings.
Not sure how to do the same for the night shift mode yet.
