Hi,
I am using Netguard on my device.
The VPN is disconnected after closing another app, by pressing the middle home button.
I already mentioned this problem in the netguard thread, but it is not netguard related, seems to be a miui problem.
Problem:
Netguard is stopping sometimes since Android 10 update (MIUI 11.0.1).
It pops up a message: Can't connect to always on VPN and I am online without firewall.
the Logo [VPN] on the top right switches to the KEY logo (I know from older android versions) to the top left and the netguard message "enforcing rules ..." in the top down menu is gone.
it is closing netguard by closing the game, the VPN and Netguard notification message is available during gameplay
As far as I noticed, it happen mostly after playing games like clash royale.
Settings:
Battery optimization is off for Netguard
Autostart permission is on for Netguard
unable to find "memory optimization", I deactivated MIUI optimization in the developer settings instead
deactivated miui bloatware with XiaomiADBFastbootTools
game turbo is deactivated
Security -> Battery & performance -> Battery saver >> is deactivated
From the home screen:
-> open recent apps
-> press and hold netguard
-> add a lock
Maybe it happens less frequently with added lock under recent apps and not when apps are manually cleared. But sometimes it occurs anyway.
Someone know a solution?

Did you use any other vpn? Not yet, then first try other vpn and check either you still face same issue or may be you will get a good experience. I suggest you to try a free trail of PureVPN, if it resolves your concern that is good sign otherwise you can cancel your trial without paying any single cent. By this you will get another experience and the good thing is, it offers a new feature which is directly related to your concern such as "on demand vpn".

[Q] Android 4.4.2, the security option "verify apps" keeps toggling itself on
I don't like a scan periodically scanning my apps in the background, so I wanted to turn it off, but even after toggling it off (in the main security page in the tablet's menu), it ends up toggling itself back on a few hours later without my consent. Is that a common issue?
I went on the google settings page as well and unticked the two options to verify apps and send analysis info, and the funny thing is that merely accessing that page without changing the settings (and when they are already unticked) will automatically toggle the "verify apps" setting in the main security menu on the tablet. Although even if I dont visit that page, leave them unticked there and have it unticked in the main security menu, it will still toggle itself back on a few hours later in the main security menu.
What's going on here? Is google pushing that option to be on at all time to scan your apps regardless of users choice?
Has no one heard or experienced this issue?
To the people reading this who are using Kitkat, does your "verify apps" in the general menu remains unticked for extended periods of time without ticking itself back on? If so, do you have the latest versions of google playstore and google services? (can you even use old versions of those anyway? mine seem to auto update despite me having auto update disabled in the play store)
Anyone has any idea what is causing my issue and how I could solve it?
I just noticed this happening to me. It seems that if I uncheck it, then run the play store app, "verify apps" is checked on again. I don't know how to keep it off.
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.
Hi everybody, i keep receiving this annoying pop up with wifi scanning every time i lock my phone even when the wifi is off or on. I turn the scanning off / on from developer mode (kept it in both ways for a while but still the message appears). Location off/ only gps/or high accuracy. Seems that all the commands don't really work.
Please help!
Thanks
I have the same problem! Would be great to get a solution to this. For me, the pop-up only seems to appear when I have Wi-Fi turned off. Whenever the pop-up appears, it minimises the app I'm in, too, which is really annoying because I use Google Maps in my car a lot, and I like to have the Wi-Fi off so the phone doesn't keep trying to connect to Wi-Fi networks that require authentication.
Now its happening the same with me...when wifi is off... It supposed to be an option in the wifi advance settings but...i dont see anything there...that helps...
Have you tried going into settings-security & Privacy-Location services-tap on 3 dots-scan settings and make sure wifi and Bluetooth scanning is off?
Yea, i did that too... Everywhere i could possible know it can be a setting to scan/ locate )... Only thing seems to work for not so many popups is letting wi-fi on all the time ). Good that it has good battery life...
Turning the WiFi + off solved the problem for me.
I have the same problem it's really annoying... And it pops out every once in a while it doesn't matter if you click agree or deny on this message
The only thing that seems to be working it's keep the wifi on... But of course I shouldn't be like that.... Any idea why we have this annoying pop up message?
Found this at Android Central, has to do with incompatibility with latest play store update. If you downgrade play store , then you get popups about Google play services being out of date. Oh well, just keep hitting cancel I guess. Im sure an update to solve will come soon. Lol
Here is what Huawei sent me:
Thank you for contacting Huawei Device USA!
We really appreciate your interest in our devices.
This is caused by incompatibilities between the device and Google Play services of version 12.8.74 or later.
Solution:
It is recommended that you try to solve it in the following three ways:
When pop up, touch CANCEL button.
Go to Settings > Security & privacy > Location services > The three vertical dots > Scan settings, turn off WLAN scanning.
For now, you are advised to go to Settings > Apps & notifications > Apps > More > Show system processes > Google Play services >The three vertical dots > Uninstall updates(This path will not appear until the version is updated).
Feel free to share this information.
Huawei is actively working with the Google development team to provide a final solution. Please stay tuned for updates about this issue.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to you, we are working hard to make a connected world and this includes the satisfaction of our valuable customers.

Mate 10 lite here, been receiving this pop-up like mad yesterday. So I was right in thinking that the pop-up was probably caused by Google being Google again.
Hopefully we get a final solution that doesn't involve downgrading Play Services, a component that insists on being up to date.

Same here
Same here with mate 9
I am looking for a way to increase visibility of notifications on my Redmi 6 Android 8.1.0 O11019
I want them to actually be a pop-ups which would interrupt other applications if needed.
Second thing I would like to ask is about disconnecting apps.
Whenever I tab out of any app which is requires connection to internet (games or stuff) app disconnects I understand that Internet is cut off if I tab out - is thee anyway to prevent it from happening ?
Same with screen saver, is there a way to setup some applications to overrule phone general settings and do not turn off the screen during phone inactivity ?
I updated to latest MIUI Global 11.0.8 and this annoying bug cycles itself. If I click settings, there's a new option at the top most suggesting "Finish Setting Up Your Device". If I click it it takes me to Android Setup where it suggests I connect to Wi-Fi to finish setup. I already am on Wi-Fi and it isn't doing anything.
This bug existed in the previous MIUI 11.0.6 but in that case it was just a notification after every reboot which would disappear if you clear recents or hide that notification.
In 11.0.8 there's a persistent option right at the top of the settings menu and there is no way to get rid of it.

In setting go to manage apps. Find android setup application and force stop it. You can also permanently disable it. Btw I didn't face this issue. So try using a different wifi. It might be due to improper data connection in wifi.

I've tried all that including clearing data.
None of it works.
