I love this phone but everytime the screen turns off whatever app I had open closes (except Google apps). Does anyone know how to fix this? And to keep my app open so I can just pick up where I left off?

Hello, might have something to do with the battery saving functionality. Have you turned off battery optimisation for those apps?

Ya that is the first thing I tried and it doesn't work.
If you haven't changed any default memory management setting (see developer's settings), then try to lock the app in Recent Apps, but in this case an app will never close and will also restart at boot.
I have checked all developer options and locked the apps and they still close. Is anyone else experiencing this?
If anyone is following this it turns out that if you have a work profile and use a different lock for each profile, that is what was doing it.

Anyone know how to enable the default Android slider lock screen on the A101?
I too would like to know if this is possible
I think this is impossible
Archos propably has deleted this option in their android version.
but maybe there's an app that simulate the normal lock screen?
This could fix your problem
In the Market, there is an app for this (WidgetLocker). But it doesn't work on the Archos.
Try Lock Screen App from the android market or an internal feature "system settings -> location & security -> set unlock pattern"

Widgetlocker works on my A70IT. I'm using it right now.
How did you do that? When I install the app on my A70, there's no lockscreen. The screen's black, and the app has force closes. It says, the lock is activated, but ir doesn't work.
Could you say me, how I can make it working?

Sorry, I can't really help you with that, because mines worked perfectly from the start.
I bought it from the Android Market, and it installed and ran right from the start. You might have to reset your device, or you were low on System storage memory. I always try to keep mines at 90-110 mbs free.
In case you want to know, I'm running the stock rom from Archos. I recently updated it to 2.3.20, and it still runs fine.
I have my widget locker all configured to my liking and such, but when I press the power button to turn off the screen, it shuts off but then instantly comes back on again. Basically I have to press power twice in order to achieve screen off status.
I'm wondering if there is somewhere in the settings I did this or can fix this? I'll reset and start all over if necessary, but was hoping someone here could help me.
Hmm... sounds odd man. I never had that issue and I have been playing with it for a bit. My best guess is you may have Easy Wake on in the settings. That will wake your phone when you touch Home, Menu, Back, or Search. Maybe your palm is hitting those buttons when you hit the power button??
If that's not it I would start over...
Nah man Easy Wake is unchecked as well as everything in that section. I really wish someone would have a fix for this. I guess I'll start all over and then post if I'm still having the problem.
Haven't reset everything yet, and I'm just noticing some more problems. If I press the volume rocker up or down while the screen is off it turns the screen on. Also sometimes when I turn the screen off, after about 5 seconds it'll randomly turn back on. This is similar to my original post problem, but the screen waits longer to come back on. Anyone use Widget Locker on your ThunderBolt and have success with it? I'm having nothing but problems.
1) Go ahead and go into applications under the main phone settings clear all Widgetlocker data. What you're describing is Easy Wake mode though you say that it unchecked. WL's settings might have gotten screwy and clearing the data should set it straight.
2) Go into the advanced settings of WL and make sure that you haven't disabled the notification icon. For some reason the old sense lock screen would cause issues if I had that checked.
3) Are you rooted? If so go into the advanced settings of WL and make sure Root Helper is checked.
Let me know what happens.
Shoot kevin an email. Hell get back to you quick. Very responsive dev.
working fine on my TB, not that it helps you any lol.
Seems as though my problems have gone away by simply disabling my security pattern.
mob87 do you use a security patter/pin/password with widget locker? Does anyone else?
Any one have any suggestions on how to get my security pattern/pin to work with Widget Locker?

I am having the same issues as the OP, will clearing all the data as described above, wipe everything that I have configured for the lock screen and I will have to start all over or not?
Also what does selecting "Root Helper" in advanced settings actually do?

Yes, it will clear all wl data and you will have to reconfigure your lockscreen. As far as roothelper I've never used wl so I really don't know, hopefully someone else can help you with that

I'm on a rooted Desire HD and I'm having the exact same issue with the screen coming back to life immediately after pushing the power button. I'm forced to have a PIN due to Exchange security settings.
I'll report the issue to the dev.
im having the same issue on m HTC desire. and im using Password pin protection as well.
i tried clearing the widgetlocker data/ downloaded the new superuser app from market and even reinstalled the app but still i can't find the solution.
if anyone has the update on this please let me know.
Anyone come up with a solution to this? I have an Inc2 with the issue. I also have to have a PIN for my Exchange server, so I imagine that's what's causing it. But, it's quite annoying and it'd be nice to have a fix.
Short Answer:
This happens on some HTC devices if the PIN activates immediately after the screen goes off, it will not happen if you delay the pin by either:
System Settings > Security > Lock screen after > 3 Minutes
or
WidgetLocker Settings > Long-press volume down for Experimental > HTC > HTC Lock Delay > 10 (seconds).
Long Answer:
WidgetLocker actually never turns the screen on by itself, however it does activate at screen off. HTC's pin screen on some (mainly newer) devices will wake the screen if something happens after the pin has activated. So WidgetLocker activating trigger's HTC's pin to wake the screen. (Ugh). But if it's delayed then it's no such issue. I haven't found a non-delayed solution to this yet. WidgetLocker's setting does the same thing as HTC's, however WidgetLocker lets you enter the number of seconds as whatever you want. Less than 10 seconds may work, but 10 seconds seems to consistently work across different devices and configurations and it's still really short so I'd recommend that.

I have recently bought the donation pack for greenify and I have several questions. First of all, I want to say that the app is really fulfilling all my expectations but as someone worried about my battery performance I still have some question, but first I'll say the conditions of my smartphone:
Samsung galaxy s5 with lollipop using greenify 2.5.2 donation pack (non rooted)
Questions:
1) I cannot see apps like chrome to be greenified and I want to have them like that as I see chrome takes up to several hours of internet connection even if I have just used it for some minutes. I wonder this is possible because I suppose this can be made as in other apps like battery killers, chrome can be killed, but I just haven't seen how.
2) Everytime I open greenify there are many "pending" apps that are not hibernated, even if I click in "zzz" button or in the button that says "hibernate and turn off the screen". The only way to deal with these pending apps is to select all of them and click on "zzz". I guess there should be a way to have them automatically hibernated.
3) There is an option in the menu that talks about an automatic manner to do this but I don't see how to activate it. I have it marked the greenify options for locking the screen but there are even more things to set that I don't see where and how. Maybe you can guide me in this better. In case I have this option chosen, pending apps will be automatically closed after some minutes, as it is said? if so, how many minutes?
Thanks in advance!

Have you set Greenify to "on" in SETTINGS>Accessibility?
If you want to manually hibernate, create the shortcut from within Greenify (use the three button icon on the top right). When you use the shortcut, the chosen apps will be hibernated and the screen will be locked afterwards.
In Autohibernate, the time taken for hibernation varies but all apps should be hibernated within 10 minutes max.
For hibernating system apps like Chrome, I think you need root permission.
Yes, the accesibility for Greenify is set to activated. However this options is never enabled within the "experimental settings" menu. It's always set to off. So I have never seen my phone awaking ten minutes after to turn off all pending apps. They remain opened. Any hint?.
Best regards!

When you click the "always off" Automatic Hibernation option in Experimental Features, what happened? It is supposed to be a accessibility setting dialog for you to enable the accessibility service from Greenify for the first time, then Device Admin dialog to enable the other service for the second time, and being checked at last for the third time.
Here I post the sequence I do in screenshots. Evrytime I click in that button it appears the same dialog. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong...but i dont get it working and I have to hibernate manually pending apps
Thanks for helping! ?

Have you enabled 'secure key guard'?
If so, disable it and then check.

Yes! it was that!. I supposed it was enough by allowing greenify in the security menu. Thanks!
However, I wanted to have it working because I thought it was the only way to have pending apps hibernated because with the button "hibernate and lock" was not hibernating pending apps. After rebooting the phone (thing that I do seldom) it works as I expected. I guess this was the cause why greenify wasn't worked as I expected. Then, for me it is ok if I have that button since it does what I expected to.
Thanks to all!
I am facing issues with notifications. The phone doesnt show notification for some apps, unless we open the app. And this is not happening all the time, but is happening frequently.
Anyone know reason and fix?
I have the same issues with score apps like sofascore or flashscore. Whatsapp and some other apps working great.

EUI seems to have very aggressive battery optimization. For apps that do not rely on push notifications, you will need to disable auto cleaning in Power saving management/App protection. Otherwise they may get killed when running in background.
Also, check if one of these is not the reason of your problems:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/how-to/delayed-push-notifications-14s-fix-t3383912
I had the same problem too with Transparent Weather and Power Amp. So therefore go to Settings > Permissions > and allow Your App to launch
Same problem here. I have not found a way to reliably handle this. Tried allowing auto start for apps as well. And it should NOT be the solution that you have to lock every app in the Taskmanager and have all apps u wanna see push notifications from opened all the time. Because well, push notifications were made so you get the info when you DON'T have the app opened.
I would really like to get to the bottom of this as it really annoys me. Not even when my Internet was disabled and gets enabled it pulls all notifications. I have to open every app one after another to really see if something happened. That is a huge nono for a 2016 flagship IMHO :/
Please guys, let's try to get this fixed!
You have to set up those apps with permission to autostart and in "Battery / Power saving management / App protection" to prevend them from killing. After doing this, those apps will work as expected...

THis worked for me. Thank you.
Is there a way we can enable camera 2 api on le max 2??.
I can't get Google photos to consistently upload. I have settings in the app set to wifi and while charging, but they only upload while the app is open and stop within a minute or two when using a different app or turning the screen off.
It's running the latest global rom, but i think the problem has always been there. Miui seems to kill the app and there's nothing i can do to stop it. In battery options i have set the restrict apps n background to off, and also in developer options the memory setting to off.
Any ideas?
Open Google Photos fully then close it. Click recent apps button, find Google Photos icon, drag down until you see a padlock and release. App won't be killed. Do this for all apps you want to keep alive. Also enable in Auto-start.

thanks for the tips, I'd forgotten to try the lock function and will give that a go. I did think of enabling autostart for it but it didn't appear in the list, i guess because it's a system app.
