This phone is on MM.
For some reason it keeps setting itself back to default google assistant even though it's been set to greenify. (I don't even use google assistant).
Anyone else had/have this issue?
I have the same problem on Xiaomi A2 Lite. I can't reproduce it. Just after some time instead of shutting the screen off the assistant appears.

Hey Guys -
I recently upgraded to a Galaxy S9+ and overall love it despite not being able to root. For the past couple of weeks, I've had a three very annoying issues though. I've tried many things to resolve, but so far can't figure out solutions. Below are thr issues and what I've tried to fix each. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
1. Random ads open in default browser (Firefox) no matter what I'm doing / what app I'm in
It doesn't matter what app I'm in, every 5 min or so Firefox opens on top of whatever I'm currently using without warning and displays an ad in a webpage. I use the Ublock tool in Firefox so sometimes it opens to a blocked webpage
What I've tried to fix:
- Closed all tabs, cleared history / personal data, then force quit Firefox
- Restarted phone
- Tried many malware apps like Malwarebytes but scans come in clean
- Uninstalled apps not installed from Google Play (only a couple)
- Put all apps not needed to run in background asleep
- Disabled notifications for apps I don't need
2. Display configs randomly apply
I have my screen set to turn off after 2 minutes and also have "always on display" enabled during the daytime which is different than simply leaving display on. Currently, though; after 2 min the screen just dims - that's it. If I hit a button to turn screen off it works, but if I place it on charger after doing this, the lock screen appears and it just Dom's after 2 minutes too. Basically, always on display only works after I press a button to power display off
What I've tried to fix:
- Verifying settings we're correct
- Setting configs differently then reverting them
- Disabled all MacroDroid / AutoMagic scripts
- Installed Greenify to put apps to sleep thinking one may be keeping device awake
3. Secure Startup Reverts
My work uses InTune and requires strict policies and settings in order for sync to work - one of these is Secure Startup where you must enter your passcode after reboot. Every couple of days or after a reboot, this setting Reverts from being enabled to disabled this making my phone daily compliance and stopping sync of work stuff. I must manually reenable it, then jump through hoops to get it compliant again. This has been an issue since I got the phone.
Any suggestions for any of the above?
Thanks!!
You could have a malware in your phone. When I had my note 8 I experienced something similar with the ads, it was very annoying. Long story short... I had to do a factory reset
I agree with TonyGzl92. It is probably Malware.
If the problem persist and you have deleted all installed apps and still get the problem you will ned to perform a factory reset and watch the phone after every app you install.
I had the issue with the screen just dimming instead of going completely off, and it was a conflict with an app I had installed. Pretty sure it was a Play Store app, but it's been long enough I no longer remember what app it was.
Has anyone else had issues with Android Auto and this phone?
It's a complete disaster.
Google Assistant doesn't stay as the default Assistant app. It stops being the default app after two minutes so you can't even use Google Assistant on Android Auto.
Not to mention, Android Auto completely freezes in your dashboard screen if you use it for more than three minutes.
It's an absolute disaster on my end.
How has it been for you guys?
On my nex with global rom and VW touareg all is working fine. Maybe problem is with chinese devices?
Maybe... I am using the Chinese device
Same on Global Rom... Android Auto "restart" after 5min of utiliazation...
Have been using Android Auto from the day I got the phone and I must report that the above issues haven't ever surfaced.
What does happen regularly is that the music starts playing via the phone speaker on hanging up a phone calls. That's really annoying and requires disconnecting the phone from usb and reconnecting.
Anyone else facing this issue?
Bug AndroidAuto

Have you found a fix for this? Happens to me too, Android Auto restarts every 5 mins
Can't get Android Auto to see my car at all.
Android Auto/ settings/ connected cars/ doesn't even see my Kia Forte although after much work I was able to get the Bluetooth to connect to the car, so my contacts list and phone and music are accessible on the car system. I had no problems connecting with my prior Motorola MOTO G5 Plus.
My Global edition is working perfectly with Android Auto in my Hyundai. Make sure you're using a quality USB C cable.
I've had tons of problems with Android Auto on other phones though. A lot of times, clearing the app data helps it get going again.
background power consumption
For Chinese version, make sure you allow high background power consumption for google maps or any other navigation and music apps. Since when you are using Android Auto, those apps were actually running in the background and the phone will treat them as suspicious apps and close them. This can be done in battery settings.
My assistant seems to work Ok for a while (after configuration), recognizing my voice locked, unlocked, in any screen. But after a while it simply stops working, not recognizing any voice. I noticed that when i put my headphones (with mic) on and say "Ok google" the it works again, and when i remove my headphone it keeps working for a while (maybe a few hours) before stop again. I think that is something on miui shutting down the mic sensor, and when i plug my headphone it reactivates. I dont know if theres any solution for this problem. Google app seems not to be a "commom" app that we can chance permissions and disable battery optimization, so i dont know what to do. Thanks!
Anyone?
Been observing this issue for the past 3 builds i guess.....must be some app management issue just as u anticipated....ive enabled trigger the assistant on pressing the power button for 0.5 seconds in button and gesture settings.... currently this seems to be the only plausible workaround.
Been observing the issue as well for the past 3-4 builds. I just cleared the data of google app and somehow it works again.. though i don't know if it will last.
Holy hell! How did you get the assistant working in the first place, tell me. It doesn't even respond to me even when I'm inside google app. 'Ok Google' thing hasn't worked for me for many months.
Alternative to launch assistant

Have you tried connecting bluetooth earphones, and using the button to launch the assistant ?
It works for me on an older xiaomi phone(redmi 3), using a ROM. Pretty reliable.
Hello everyone,
I'm having huge issues with notification:
- SMS (almost) never launch notifications, and this is VERY frustrating, think about SMS from bank or 2f authentication. I'm using stock SMS app
- many apps (like YouTube) many times when there's a notification, this disappear automatically after few second
- sometimes the phone light up the screen without a notification, so I don't know what's happened
I tried to search how to fix the notifications problem, I tried to lock app in multitasking, set manual boot and set the battery permission.. but nothing, the problem still remain. Its so annoying.
I'm using a mate 20 Pro (lya-29) with emui 10 and April security patch, I factory resetted the phone 1 month ago, I have 70gb left and few apps installed.
I also read the powergenie thread, but I would rather fix this problem in another way (if exists).
Thanks
PS: emui sucks, really, i'm hating this phone only for this annoying software.
I went the PowerGenie kill route PLUS DOWNGRADED the native SMS app (after trying even beta without luck) and my SMS notifications work fine now.
BTW :there is zero negative impact of uninstalling PowerGenie in case you are concerned.
Hope this helps.
Hi,
I got the same problem about notifications : they appear when lockscreen, but when I unlock it they disappear.
I must reboot for fixing it on short run.
So annoying.
I've set up Macrodroid on my Doogee S40 with a webhook. I noticed that after some time my macro stopped working and started investigating. I have come to the conclussion that there is an issue with the Firebase Cloud Messaging service (which Macrodroid uses for webhook communication with the phone), mainly because not only my macro stops working but also Gmail notifications, for example. Also, when I reboot the phone, it starts working again.
I think that the Doogee S40 uses pure Android 9, and I have disabled every optimization option I could find so that nothing gets shut down (or shouldn't get), but no improvement.
Does anybody know what could be happening or, even better, how to fix it?
