Do developer options reset after restarting the phone? - Huawei Mate 10 Questions & Answers

Hello all as the title implies, I would like to ask if you are experiencing too this issue and if there is any solution. For me it is quit important as I can’t have all apps compatible for split view because the “force activities to be resizable” setting inside developer options requires restarting the device to work but here is the problem with Mate 10,if I restart the device all the developer options are reset, so I am stucked with this particular option.

I believe all phones do this, not just the Mate 10.

Hello , no it is not. To force all apps to be resizable so that can all work in Split View you need to enable the option in Developer mode and then restart the phone to be activated. So the statement you made is not logical because that option can’t be enabled as after restarting all the options get reset on Mate 10 so it is a dead end. I have tested this on Oneplu 3 ,3T, Note 5 , S7 Edge and Nexus 5X and I had no problem at all.
Oneplus and Nexus are even on Android 8.0 like Mate 10.
This is very serious for me because you can’t have all apps compatible with split view like the other phones I had and I want this for work monitoring purposes ...

Mate 10 ALP-L29 8.0.0.119 (C636)

yes the phone is reset after it restarts. specially noticed this after changing the dpi

I have the same problem with my Mate 9. Developer Options do not stick, but, there is a partial solution. Some of the options there have actual system, global or security variables associated with them. For instance I use tasker to switch on and off the "Mobile data always active" setting by running a shell command as "settings put global mobile_data_always_on 0/1" as needed. If you have adb installed, you can run the list command for each variable set, before and after toggling a setting, so you can later compare the result and figure out which variable you need to set. More info here: http://forum.joaoapps.com/index.php...ings-to-use-in-autotools-secure-settings.210/ Please note, the use of AutoTools is not necessary as a simple shell task would suffice in most cases

With mine, if you turn developer options off, you are still able to change dpi even though developer options are off, if you reset when it's like that, it resets itself. If you turn them on and make the changes again and restart it will stick.

Same Problem with the Huawei P10 with VTR-09 8.0.0.371(C432) (unrooted with TWRP). DPI is reset after every restart. If there is any solution, please tell me, I hate it to use a mobile wich looks like the one from my grandma with that big font size etc.
[EDIT]
Before the previously update it works fine btw.

UI reversed

Yesterday my phone suddenly changed the UI.
Is this a software bug or is there an option to change that?
This is somehow weird, never seen this before this is definately sw issue, do a factory reset, or reflash in pc companion/ flashtool, or maybe simply reboot the phone
Thanks for reply!
I already rebooted, but it didn't help.
Why don't you people attach images not those f... Qr codes??
I did a factory reset - solved.
Still wonder how it happend and if there is another way to fix.

It's called stop messing with developer settings. In developer settings there is an option called Force RTL This is for the arbaic world. RTL Means right to left this is how they read. If you tick that option it will go right to left just like your picture..
I normally only change the view settings I know in developer options. Never happened before in last 4 years of using them. I must have pressed it by accident - but good to know how to change it back .

i have the same issue on mate 10, after enable "usb debugging" and exit developer menu then debugging will gone.
I can confirm that settings regarding Bluetooth are not saved...
Update your firmware version. Mine do the same with initial firmware. Fixed after update.

i'm on B126 firmware (funkyhuawei method)
127(C432) Same here.
Problem is solved with a factory reset
127(C432) Same here. A factory reset didn't do anything. Seems to be a problem with the firmware. Probably have to wait for an update unless someone finds a workaround.
My mate 10 pro is the same on 128 software. Wont save any bluetooth developer settings. Blue tooth sounds crap, it's not even close to my old iPhone for sound quality.
Im having same problem why wont developer options save on my Samsung Galaxy A71, can someone really explain why this is happening when all my software are up to date. I hope this a common issue and will be fixed or is this a defective or hacked phone ?
Developer options not saving on android.

Huawei mate 10 pro fingerprint problem

So I've tried everything I can think of, without voiding warranty, to fix this.
One day the phone was turned on and the fingerprint sensor didn't work. Fine, but checking the settings, it was gone there too! There were some residual settings like the "suggestions" for "Screen Lock" that suggested "unlock with your fingerprint". However, clicking that immediately returns me to settings. It's like the fingerprint sensor and settings have vanished.
Now, I've tried factory resets. I've even reinstalled the current firmware, but nothing seems to be working...

I would guess the hardware is broken.

:good: It is likely a hardware failure.
Hi, did you solve the issue? Same thing happened to me. Was it a hardware or software issue?
After applying the last Software Update on my Huawei mate 10 pro the fingerprint sensor started to work randomly. Sometimes it works and then it does not. I do not think it is a matter of hardware otherwise it wouldn't work at all. What can I do to solve the problem?

Id take it to the service center and have them take a look at it .... Hopefully both replace the sensor and flash the proven working os to the board. With the latest updates I lost the game boost app in the same way that you are describing loss of the f sensor. It dissapeared from system all together, not frozen , not disabled , just gone and all reference to it removed from settings. I flashed couple firmwares since then trying to both downgrade and fix it but no matter what version I was on it never returned lol. It died on 6th/7th flash - hard brick and Im picking it 2morrow from service . All in all , since 9.0 , 9.1 certain issues I had there seemed to follow through every subsequent firmware update. If it doesnt work now it prolly will be bugged in the future as well by that logic. My erecovery was also broken ( Everything works but it never can find firmware to download ) when I started and just like gpu boost it never returned . When I gave them phone under warranty few times back they basically replaced whatever I complained about , back cover, display , battery , charging port , headphone adapters all free of charge
Huawei Mate 10 Pro Fingerprint is not working after EMUI 10.0 Update
My FINGERPRINT ID is not working after the Software Update to EMUI 10.0. Now I cannot unlock my phone using fingerprint. Fingerprint menu too is missing in the Biometrics & Passwords menu of Settings. My fingerprints have vanished from my phone together with the option to input new fingerprints. When I go to the SETTINGS menu, I see nothing related to FINGERPRINTS. In other words, FINGERPRINT ID is not a method of unlocking my phone according to the SETTINGS.
I downgraded the phone to EMUI 9.1, but nothing changed. So, again I updated the software to EMUI 10.0. I cannot understand why this is happening so. It is Huawei. World's No. 2 phone manufacturer trying hard to be the No. 1. World's largest communication equipment manufacturer. It is a shame. It is a total failure of HUAWEI. I handed over the phone to the Huawei Service Centre in Sri Lanka. For two days, they are "STILL CHECKING".
Problems happen! With all the brands!
Me and many others updated to EMUI 10 without any problems.
When I update to other Android OS version, I always do a factory reset, just to avoid any possible problems.

I did a factory Reset too after the software update to EMUI 10.0. But no change at all.
Might be a coincidence, or not. Maybe something in the flash process went wrong.

Yes, it may be a coincidence or may be something gone wrong in the flash process. But the problem is that this has happened to many other people through out the world. Also, many people complain about various other problems after the software update. That means Huawei has failed to provide their customers an accurate and safe process to update their software. It is a serious failure from the part of Huawei, the second largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world.

Developer Option Settings - How to make them Stuck

Hi everybody. Actually I own a Realme X2 Pro. In this phone sometimes developer options deactivate by themselves or reset their settings. I know this is a thing to discuss in Realme forum, but this is related to my question.
Since many years I tried to make developer options settings stuck, without the need to set them again after every reboot. Seems that until now it was impossible.
Is there a way to do it, now that Android is on version 9/10? Or is it still impossible?

Question Android auto crashing

Hi guys
i have the XQ-CQ54 model with android 12 and i'm experiencing a lot of crashes with Android Auto. Tried everything including factory reset. Problem appears both on USB connection and wireless and appears on all cars i've tried it on (about 4 this far of different brands and models).
Anyone else with this?
might be app related ,5 iv is very new and might need a new android auto update to work better i would advise reporting that to google so they can have that feedback .
I would try it on my car but my infotainment is a little bit older so i cant get to reproduce the same effect.

i've tried various versions of android auto, they all crash... but they don't on my Samsung S20FE with same Android OS version (12)
Latest thing i tried was making sure power management is off for both AA and Spotify. We'll see if that makes a difference...
Yet again s20fe is not new on the market ,i know what you are saying but i still feel bugs might need some time to be polished on 5 iv as they dont have same hardware .
You can try to test it in safe mode...tho i am not sure if android auto is disabled or not in safe mode
tried changing battery management settings for apps, i'll see if that makes a difference.

nope, didn't... still crashes...
which firmware version are you running on the CQ54? and which version of Android Auto?
I have an XQ-CQ72 on 64.0.H.11.9, with Android Auto 8.6.124944 and don't have any issues
I have a 5 iv running Android 12 and Android Auto works flawlessly.
It didn't when I first tried it. My previous phone was a S22 and Android Auto worked flawlessly. On swapping the phone to the 5 iv, Android Auto couldn't hold a connection and produced error messages. After checking all the appropriate settings I couldn't find anything untoward. Past experience has shown at this point try a different usb cable....and with a different cable Android Auto started working and has continued to work flawlessly ever since.
I have come across this "sensitivity" to the usb cable before, with an older Huawei phone.
I would suggest trying a different usb cable, if you haven't already, as it may make a difference.

just updated to android 13 (64.1.x) from 64.0.x firmware - same problem except on the way home it was worse than it has ever been before, crashed / disconnected every 5 minutes and reconnected... extremely annoying.
i have 1 IV and don't have crashes. But generally, not as reliable as it was with my XZ2.
Car is Peugeot 3008 mk2 from 2017. Wireless does not work at all but don't really care about that because it just drains battery instead of charging. Now, charging........sometimes it does not charge despite having AA active and using sat nav. Cable that I used with XZ2 (ugreen) does not work at all for AA. And most of the time not even for data on laptop. Cable from XZ2 works with AA every time, did a 5000km trip a few months back, no issues. Except it does not charge sometimes, LED is on, sign for charging is on but battery charge goes down.
Try cleaning the AA app cache. I had same issues w/ my Pixel after update.

Yeah, I've tried that including completely removing / reinstalling app etc.
Now trying on another phone (yes, another 5 IV) which is set up from scratch without restoring from backup.
I have exactly the same behavior with Xperia 5 IV on both Android 12 and 13. Random crashes. Sometime it works for 1 hour, sometimes 5 minutes. It appears to be worse with Android 13.
I tried changing cable, I even bought a new one... no change.
I don't have AA wireless but it does not appear to be cable related. When the crash occurs, my smartwatch (BT) is disconnected.

Hep, another one here!
i'm trying to remove apps one by one now...
Well, I had 1 hours without any crash... after enabling the debug layer for android auto. I didn't notice any difference or additional info but no crash.
Hey Guys; I am facing the same issue. Just, that it's not related to Android Auto.
Many apps were crashing just randomly.
For example, like Tidal, sometimes it was playing music for hours and sometimes just for a few minutes until it crashed.
So I enabled a feature in developer mode which allows to show a crashing dialog. And just a few moments later the nextcloud app crashed and the error message was something like "out of memory".
Looking in to it => Yep, there it was => the OS is holding almost all of the available memory.
So, you might want to check your memory in Settings => Developer Options => Memory.
And since I almost bricked my device last night, I just flashed the latest 64.1.A.0.857 via newflasher and at the moment (fresh OS) it seems to be better - but I will surley find out these days.
Merry Christmas everyone ...
Hi guys, I had similar problems with Android auto. I did a software repair with Xperia Companion, since then AA works fine.
