Pressing clear all in recents doesn't work - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi hoping someone can help on my mate 20 pro if I go into recent apps and press clear all nothing happens (all apps still there when I go back in).Can anybody advise how to solve this?cheers.

Sounds like maybe they're locked? Do you see a pad lock above any of them?

This happens to me to! i can tell that is google apps that dont close! i have to close them manually.
youtube ,google, google news, and chrome usually cant close them

How do/did you do this? I can see a white padlock above the apps so how to remove.
Thanks

You just press on the padlock to either lock or unlock that particular app.

I have just found that if you drag down it either adds or takes away the padlock symbol.

Sorry forgot to mention that I uninstalled the huawei stock launcher, so my recent tabs are different now. Had to tap on the padlock on mine.

Thanks for this. Do we know why the apps are locked in the first place?

I think it locks it in ram so the aggressive ram management doesn't close them, neither does a manual "close all" press.

Well, I just did that..thing is, while it was blank I changed it to a diff app thinking it would switch back when I changed the screen. After the last update, I still have the other app I selected. My phone is still gone!
For me, i can still select phone for my lockscreen shortcuts, but its not in my app drawer. Should it be this way?
Seems like a PICNIC error to me.
I have the same issue. I did ALL the updates and my phone app is still missing,and yes I have been reading all the forums/blogs.

So for clarity, you have the phone shortcut available for lockscreen, but not in app drawer?
Go in to the settings where you can change which apps show. Select a different one then chose the phone again and it will show.

Cool thanks for that. It doesn't matter since the main sense button is phone anyway. I downloaded adw ex to see if the phone icon would show up in that app drawer and it did, so i imagine its just not supposed to be in the sense app drawer to avoid redundancy.

I think it's this...
I haven't done a single update and the phone isn't in my app drawer. I removed it from my lockscreen in favor of the flashlight (which, among other important things..htc didn't include).
I am having a few issues and since it looks like root is out of the question unless HTC miraculously keeps their promise .. I may just do all the OTAs.

You might as well, when root is found, or when HTC unlocks it, there will have been several more OTA's to worry about. Just enjoy the fixes for now. Just my input.

Yea you're right. If we ever do get root, it isn't gonna be anytime soon. I may as well get this thing as functional as possible.
I fixed the app missing by doing a reset. I was all up to date but the update didn't go into effext until I did a reset.
Sent from my 3vo
So I have done all the updates and today I did a hard reset on my phone. The phone icon was on my lockscreen until I changed some of the other icons. It is no longer there and I cannot select it either.
I am wondering if the small updates stick after a hard reset? I went to check for any updates and it says none available. Is there anyway to install the small updates manually from somewhere?
Edit....Just an FYI after I kept checking for updates, eventually the small app updates was available and now I got my phone icon back. So anyone who hard resets their device after the updates, make sure you keep checking for the small app update because it does not stick after a hard reset and it did not auto prompt me to do so either.

use camera without unlocking phone?

what i mean is get to camera without haveing to unlock youre phone and hit the camera icon? thanks
I don't think so unless you are using a custom rom and even then it may be a long shot I haven't ever seen it or tried it on my htc evo I managed to add app to the pull down unlocker but never on the atrix! But I'm sure you can if you want to bad enough good luck!

You can use lockerbot and place a shortcut to the camera on your lockscreen.
On the iPhone I used Snappy to launch the camera from any screen, including when the phone was locked. I would love to see something similar on the Sensation. Sometimes you need to take a quick snap when unlocking and finding the camera app takes a couple of seconds too long
Edit: Stupid new-thread-title-searching - this was meant to be in the Sensation section!
WidgetLocker is another great lock screen replacement that allows for shortcuts to be on the lock screen

Is there anyway I can ADD an application to the recent app list (the one you get when you hold the home button)?
I dont want to assign the button to just a single app but to more than one...
I want it in a way that I get the app i want (in the top left corner) and also get the list of recent apps?

But you could find an app that groups apps you want together and bind the app to the long press of home button. The setting is in cyanogenmod settings.

yah, thats what I am doing right now,
But it'd be better to have recent apps + an app manager on the list.

Reminded me about that feature. Tried it in B3 and it didn't work. Works now in Behrad's CM7. Long press menu still doesn't work right now though.

Long press menu is actually a brand thing. Didn't have this function with some other android phones.

You can try QuickDesk on the market.

Theres also wave launcher on the market too. QuickDesk is free however eats into RAM makes the phone a little laggy but its awesome.

[Q] Notification

So is there a way to disable the dropdown notification when phone is in the lock screen. Settings, Mod? I know if I set up a screen lock I'll achieve what I want but I don't want that.

I accidentally found that out the other day and didn't like it at all.
I second this, is there a way to turn that off?

What's not to love about this feature? Sliding the ring up is the same motion as sliding the menu down. I see absolutely no way that this could cause anyone an issue.... Can someone give me example as to how this is bad?

When in my pocket.
Picture this, I listen to music all day receive a lot of text and emails. The notification bar sometimes slides down and starts either calling or getting into menus, recent apps, etc.. This happens whenever the phone is woken up in my pocket only Sometimes im doing some carrying and or weird body positiones and the phones power button will get pushed waking the phone and down goes the notification bar.
Makes sense? I'm sure I'm not the only one. Besides what's the point of it being a "lock screen" if it doesn't lock??

The screen is capacitive. That means it should not react to your pocket, if I understand capacitive correctly. It's not like a touch sensitive device. It needs an electric charge to activate the touch screen (the charge from your fingers). I've not had mine react in my pocket.

Correct! But Depends which way It's facing in my pocket. If its facing out wards then no problem but if it's facing in towards my legs then problem which is usually the way I like to put my phone away feels safer

I agree too. What's the point of it being a lockscreen if it doesn't lock. Lol.
I'm not dying to find a fix but I am interested in being able to turn that feature off.

Weird apps thing with cm10.1

So, I installed the newest cm10.1 and gapps. For some reason, there is no option icon/ those three little dots on the google play store. I was wondering if there is something that I am missing?
Just really odd that I can't view "My Apps" to update manually.
EDIT:
Apparently, this is on all apps. Hard to change app settings when I don't have the ability. lol

Visit settings then system then hardware keys and set it as you wish, like app switch long press to open/close menu.
Edit: doesn't add the dots but let's you access the menu they bring up.
