Hello, guys,
I have had Redmi Note 3 for 6 months now and I have been struggling with an annoying issue.
Whatsapp gets killed after a little time of idleness and unless I kill it in the task manager and restart it, I cannot either receive or send messages. When I check in the running apps section, it is not there so the OS certainly kills it. And just clicking its icon on the desktop, opens the GUI but it does not work unless I force close it and re-open it.
I have had issues with Whatsapp on previous devices - more of the common stuff - delayed notifications, messy push service. This is something else.
MIUI 8 is notorious, it seems, for its RAM and Battery management killing apps and I often struggle with that, too. For example: I minimize VLC to open Firefox. I switch back to VLC - ok, the movie starts over, the app has been killed. This is really annoying and I have turned off all kinds of optimization to prevent it, with no success. I am not sure, though, that it is connected to the Whatsapp issue. Because Whatsapp seems to get killed when the phone is idle for a moment but not when switching between apps.
I rarely use Viber but I think the situation there is the same. I sent a message to a friend and I got no response. I opened the app 5 days later and the response came However, it had tried to arrive 2 minutes after my original message. But I had not opened Viber for 5 days, so...that happened.
Let me know if you need details about my settings. I would be really grateful if someone can share some insight on what might the issue be. I guess if I root the phone I can try and locate the culprit module that kills apps. Maybe edit a config file to disable the killing functionality. It is clear this ROM does not like running apps....
Thanks,
Kiril Ekblad
P.S. I have been on Google multiple times: nobody seems to have that issue.
Disable battery saver
developer options -> disalbe MIUI optimization
MIUI is way to aggressive in killing apps ....
maybe go for a custom rom?
You can follow this https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...de-redmi-note-3-sd-mtk-multi-tasking-t3358433 and see how it`s going with push up notification.
When i`ve used miui 8, i`ve done this things and it seems to work good, but anyway push up notification came with a small delay..
For this reason i left miui 8 (very bad ram management) and flashed nougat custom rom and everything working good
Thank you, all
I have actually tried all of these and all steps in the quoted topic. No difference whatsoever. I would gladly go for a custom ROM bit things have gotten really complicated lately. A coupke of yeara aho I would easily grab and flash a custom ROM. Now when I browse through the ROMs topics here I get frustrates.
Something about firmwares, stuck bootloaders I have no idea where to start.
Oh and I don't want to lose slow motoon and time lapse videos. Do you know of a custom ROM that supports them ans the stock one does?

Try clean flash of MIUI ROM or flash Epic / Xiaomi.eu ROM
Thanks, I will have to research on the EPIC/EU ROM.
I am all for changing the ROM as long as I can cope with the flashing and I do not lose any of the significant features of the stock ROM.
By the way, recently - the last several days - I have noticed that on multiple occasions Whatsapp seems to be running - it is showing in the Running apps and still the program cannot either receive or send until I force close it and re-start. Whatsapp web also says Phone not connected.

Hi guys,
Have had my Hero just over a month now and love the thing to bits...
The one thing (battery life aside) that pees me off though is that the phone can be slow at times...
It seems to stem from apps either opening themselves and running in the background, or not closing properly when I select to close them.
I seem to spend half my time using the phone in TaskKiller getting rid of everything that shouldn't be running before I can do anything.
Has anyone got any smart ideas on how I can improve the problems above?
I've also noticed when I switch the phone off and back on a) it improves things slightly, but b) it also runs lots of things that I don't need open so is there a way to stop things running on start up?
Thanks for the help guys.
To show you what I mean, I just restarted the phone and killed everything except:
WaveSecure Beta
com.google.android.apps.mapssomething that goes off the screen) - can't kill this
HTC Sense
Touch Input
com.htc.provider
Go back to it 10 minutes later and I also have the following open:
Settings
vizBattery
Wi-Fi Status
Google Mail
Thats without me touching it at all.... if I had also used the Twitter app, Facebook, messaging etc then they would all still be open, the browser and music player would probably be there too.
It's normal fo it to start some apps on its own, for example peep (htc's twitter program) the music player (only if you have a widget on one of the homescreens)
same goes for calander etc etc google mail is push so it has to be opened to recieve messaged realtime.
Things like batterystatus thingy's often drain your battery and sometimes slow down your device I suggest removing that.
Also I don't know about wifi status but can imagine that draining battery to since
I don't think that will be running without your wifi being on. When continuosly searching for networks your device also will slow down, and drain the battery
My english isn't perfect so I hope you understand what I'm saying.
edit: do you use the official t-mobile rom or a custom? Don't know if htc released the last update for t-mob devices. That update really improved almost everything
so if you don't have that it's ''normal'' for the device to lag.
Some apps register themselves to start automatically. Obviously Gmail needs to run if you're syncing a Gmail account.
There's at least one app (paid) that can override this - I believe it is called Startup Auditor.
However, for the most part, it doesn't really matter since many of the apps that appear to be "running" will not be consuming any CPU time (and by extension battery life) unless they are designed to run in the background.
In addition, as Stafflover has already said, I'd also suggest you try removing vizBattery - whilst I've no specific experience with this app, I've heard that many battery status widgets drain the battery significantly.
Regards,
Dave

Hey Pal! I had the same problem then I got into a bit of app development and understood. Some service need to be "broadcasting" and some other to be "listening". Best you can do is sometimes tell them how often to "wake up and check". But if you think about it, a program MUST be checking on a few things, at least sometimes, to give you the "android experience". Also, no matter how much you care about that number you see in the "free ram" widget (assunming you use taskiller with the widget), it is not very important until it REALLY does slow your phone down. Some apps are worse than others at clogging up or draining your battery: try them, weigh how useful they really are for you and then decide what to keep (running) Ciao!
Hi xda Community,
at first - BIG THANKS TO ALL OF YOU ACTIVE CUSTOM ROM GUYS!!
With all your FAQs, Videos and postings, you made it possible - and easy - for me, to get rid of the annoying Sony ROM by rooting and installing a custom rom.
Currently I am running CM10 FXP230 on my Xperia U. I know it is not a stable version, but still a great improvement in speed for me and also the first ROM i discovered during my internet research for an alternative to the slow stock sony stuff.
However, i am facing some problems during the daily usage of my phone, perhaps one of you can support me during finding a solution for some of them.
1. Updating ROM
Pretty basic question, just need a confirmaton that i understood it the right way. I download the new Version of the custom rom (e.g.fxp232), copy the zip onto the smartphone and reboot into recovery mode. There i use CMW to first wipe cache and delvik cache, then select and install new version from zip.
Correct way so far?
What about the Google Apps? Do i have to reinstall them too?
Do i have to backup the SD card data and my apps,?
2. The Camera Fix
At the beginning i thought that i could live with an inverted camera due to the fact, that i am not taking many of them with my phone. but during the last weeks i had to face the facts - its important from time to time :cyclops:
During my search in this forum i found a user linking to a file called "FXP231_CM10_CamReverse_Fix".
Does this work only with FXP231, or also earlier and later versions?
How do I install it, like gApps in CMW?
3. Alarm Clock
I am using my phone as an alarm clock almost every day. Its plugged in to recharge during the night. Sometimes the phone crashes during the night time and the alarm is not going off. The display turns dark, no reaction to any button i plress, only the little signal light at the top right is glowing constantly. I have to take out the battery every time and make the same changes in settings over and over again.
Is this the "deepsleep" problem everyone is talking about? Is it connected to the cpu settings - I did select "conservative" there. Whats causing the problem?
4. Dial Pad
Every time i am dialing an unknown number the touchpad is hardly responding. It can take up to 5 minutes to enter all numbers and dial. I already deactivated the T9 contact search, still no improvement. Anyone any similar expieriences?
5.General Custom ROM Question
During my journey through this Community I found out, that there are a lot of different roms available. Some - with only minor changes - based on other custom roms, some based on sony.....whatever. Right now i am totally confused that ROM to use (if the above mentioned problems cant be solved!!)
I just need a quiet fast and reliable ROM to use in daily life - well this is everyones wish i guess......
So what am I doing with my phone? Basically I am just using my phone to call people, use whatsapp, check mails, manage my appointments and take a spontaneus picture from time to time. No Video, Twitter, Facebook, Games and what else is out there...........and no big experiments and time to backup, upgrade and reset my phone stuff every week.
Should I go back to CM9?
Cant I install a "normal google android" rom? Might sound stupid, but isnt there some kind of "pure" rom for all phones, that gives you the same comfort as the sony stock rom (-> update and functionality) ?
Even if there is not THE correct answert to this question, maybe some of you can at least suggest some interesting ROMs, that might fit
uff.....long wall of text, hopefully I could point out my problems good enough to motivate you to spent your time to answer them.

First of all, this is a long question and you must donate me for answering. Haha. Just joking but you need to consider yourself and get experiences.
1. Reboot CWM and install the ROm amd Gapps needs to be reinstalled.
Wipe dalvik cache and cache then reboot. You're updated.
2. It is for FXP231 and so you must install 231 in order to have fixed
3. Go to deepsleep so much in CM10. Some said pretty awesome because it saves battery but it is in deep sleep so you can't really control your phone no more. Like you can't awake in the morning because you are in deep sleep.so hard to wake up. And yes your problem is deep sleep.
4. Use Go Dialer or Touchpal Dialer. Download from Play Store. It will make you better. Stock is still laggy and under development.
5. I run SlimCM which is CM9 and everything works except sound bug and FM Radio. Sound bug can be fix with Viper4Android. Run CM9 which is great, fast and stable.
And I really want to advice you is find out more yourself. It's more getting trouble but you will become more awesome I answer your question short so don't mind me about that but if you need anything, just quote and ask. Bye.

Sorry for asking again, but most times i just dont have the needed phrase to search for - combines with 50+ pages of results it really drives me crazy sometimes. After making a, lets say really stupid mistake, installing the rom in the beginning, it took me almost ages to find the threat to return to the beginning and reinstall it properly.

Thanks a lot for reading and answering my questions anyway, you got yourself a honest "thanks button klick" as a reward :laugh:
Okay, so now i know that "my deepsleep problem" is kind of a reversed version of almost everyone eleses deepsleep problem. Everyone wants his phone to enter deepsleep, i want to prevent that.
Will this app solve the problem? Deep Sleep Battery Saver
I mean, if I can set the phone to "wake up" short before my alarm time it might work, right?
I read something about Apps causing the problem, especially messenger apps. Can anyone verify that information, or is it some random guess?
Edit:
Also I found out, that the Phone should not enter deepsleep while being charged. Unfortunately this seems to happen to mine over and over again.

DS battery saver is the one for some phones that cannot go into deepsleep. It force the phone to Deep Sleep with some profiles to make your phone not deaf. Good app and I'm using it.
Blah blah blah, anyway, it's the ROM problem I think but you can simply reply FXP's CM10 about the fix No worries. I think you can fix nothing at this stage. And also I thought Alarm app crashing amd screen not waking up is not only the Deep Sleep issues but also the rom bug of excessive Deep Sleep or alarm app not fully functional. Please reply to the rom thread and wait for answer! High Five!!

Hello all,
I have used my LeECo max 2 for about a month. In the beginning, before I updated to S17 from S14, I didn't have any problems with notifications. After the upgrade I have a serious problem with live notifications. Apps like WhatsApp, Gmail, Messenger, Skype, and more, might show messages immediately, with a short or long delay (min and sometimes hours), and not even show anything until I reopen the app. I made sure that the wanted apps have permission to run when the phone boots up and add them to the app protection list in the battery menu. I found out that S19 was just released a few days ago (leaked) and I had to try it to see if it solved the problem, which it didn't. I even tried to install 'heartbeat fixer' and 'notification fixer', which didn't really helped.
I really enjoy this phone, but I can't take it anymore. I can't get late email and messages, and I don't want to reopen the apps to make sure to not miss any important messages.
Did anyone had that problem and was able to solve it?
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thank you
same happened to me and i also spent way to much time trying to fix it, so I changed to cm13 rom
Do you know if I can install the latest twrp after upgrading to s19?

Hello folks,
I'm not getting push notifications on my phone, i use Whatsapp for messaging and calls and it works but when the screen turns off for a long time the app gets killed or something and i don't get messages nor calls through Whatsapp, until i wake up the phone and launch the app. That's when i get all the notifications and missed calls.
Things i've tried:
Changing the phone to performance mode
Protecting the app from closing when screen turns off
Leaving the app open and locked sliding down on the recent apps tab
Reinstalling and updating the app
I don't know what else to do this is driving me crazy. I was planning to stay with the stock Android but all these weird configurations make me consider going with Cyanogenmod if i can't fix it.
Going to CyanogenMod is a good decision. EMUI has problems in handling whatsapp notifications, which they say will be fixed by OS updates.
The problem of killing apps remains in EMUI till now. EMUI says killing apps is good for RAM management. But they should give more idle time for the app before killing it. You could have seen the reviews everywhere that the RAM management is not good in EMUI. Its default behaviour. You cant change it.

Damn that's pretty bad and should have been fixed by now.
i regret buying this phone if i'm forced to install a custom ROM to make something basic work.
Also the EMUI interface is disgusting so i guess i'll be installing Cyanogenmod anyways. The stock Android interface is much nicer.
Do i just flash the ROM and gapps from my SD card or there's something else i should do? Unlock bootloader or something like that?

I am noticing that this phone will randomly just force close an app, like no matter if I am in system settings or in Facebook. I have used phone with less ram that handles process better than EMUI. The sad part is I bought this phone because I wanted a close to MIUI experience, although it is close, it appears to missing the mark in so many ways. I really wish Xiaomi would start selling to USA

RAM Management, Yeah EMUI doesn't do that part fine. Hoping so to get improved in future updates.

EMUI is just so app unfriendly when it comes to RAM management
I haven't flashed the custom ROM yet, emailed honor US support a month ago to see if they're planning to fix it but they ignore my emails.
I'll end up selling the phone and getting Xiaomi if CM13 gives me problems.
Sorry for the offtopic but is there a way to back up the stock Android in case i need to go back?
You can always adjust the minfree values using several apps.
I think it has nothing to do with RAM, because it kills the app even if there's nothing else running.

Maybe you enabled "Don't keep activities" in Developer options.
Sent from my honor 5X using XDA Labs
you can look into this
Settings > Advanced Settings > Battery Manager > Protected Apps
Here you can select all the Apps you want to keep running even after the screen goes off for a long time without auto-killing them
hope this helps you even without switching to CM
or
check this
go to the App Info. of those Apps which you feel they are being killed and click the Battery and then check the Keep Running after screen box
as you find in attachments
So I like the big battery in this phone, but I hate that when I open an app, and it loads (facebook for example), then I get an incoming email, so I tap the notification to open and read my email, the phone closes/ends my fb app. When I go back to fb, it re-launches the app all over again. It's annoying when I'm in the middle of something, and it'll force-close and lose everything I was typing. I've enabled dev options, and see an option in there for apps "Don't keep activities" (destroy every activity as soon as the user leaves it) which sounds like exactly what is happening, but this option is disabled. I've disabled every possible battery saver option I can find.
Anyone know where else to look? You wouldn't think it'd be a big thing, but it's really annoying having to spend extra time re-launching every single app as opposed to just switching between them already launched.
Thanks in advance!

I am using Ruthless Pixel launcher, from here xda, and I haven't got this problem. May be you have to disable the DuraSpeed from Settings.
Bye!
I tried a different launcher. I'll try the one you use. I've even had problems with the launcher having to "restart" and when I go back to the homescreen, it takes several seconds for that to load.
same problem here, every battery saver option disabeled, duraspeed off, and everything that i need to to i did in the developer options, but literally every app reboots after i switch to an other. any news on how to get rid of it?
I've switched between several different launchers. This isn't a launcher problem. It's a phone software problem.

I'm running Nova Launcher and see what you're talking about...if you leave a Facebook post you're working on open, then go to research something else, even though the draft post is there on screen when you scroll for it, the post will close and re-open before you can edit it again, wiping out the draft. A bug that needs to be fixed, indeed. The weirder thing is, after looking at it some more, is that it isn't easy to consistently replicate. Weird, indeed.

So I packaged my phone up last night and shipped it back this morning. But a buddy of mine MAY have figured out how to make it work. Go to Duraspeed and ENABLE it. Then ENABLE the apps (or all apps) that you want to STAY ALIVE in the background. See if that allows them to all run, yeah, like making a fb post type thing. Report back. I may have to go buy it again!
I have ZimLX and no issue with background apps.

So I packaged my phone up last night and shipped it back this morning. But a buddy of mine MAY have figured out how to make it work. Go to Duraspeed and ENABLE it. Then ENABLE the apps (or all apps) that you want to STAY ALIVE in the background. See if that allows them to all run, yeah, like making a fb post type thing. Report back. I may have to go buy it again!

That only helps a little bit, if you switch between tw games, or a game than check facebook and then whatzapp, the game resets. Also if you like switch to 3 different apps, they usually reset and get force closed from the systhem.
Also if you turn on duraspeed, youtube vanced gets forceclosed, even when it is allowed in duraspeed.
So what i do right now is enable duraspeed and the app that i want and whenever i wanna hear music in the background, i have to disable duraspeed.
Also, it is a real dealbreaker right now, it´s just way to buggy.
it seems like they programmed a way too harsh task kille in on purpose to give a longe battery life.

I am using Ruthless Pixel launcher, from here xda, and I haven't got this problem. May be you have to disable the DuraSpeed from Settings.

Not true, everyone has these problems nomather what launcher, it is a software problem.
Usually everyone has tryed to disable duraspeed of course and whatnot.
This problem/bug is really annoying. It makes me hate the phone to be honest.
How/who do we report this too?
Try here - https://community.umidigi.com/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=210
From what I've seen, Umidigi employees monitor and are active in their Forums, so hopefully someone will pay attention.
I have ZimXL and no issues with background apps closing. Are you on the latest ROM?

obviously we habe the lastest rom and every user has that problem it is a rom problem.
Also, what is a zim xl, google gives nothing about that.
I had a few apps do screwy things with the powersaver on , and it would be a few. Kroger app would crash and would not work until you uninstall and reinstall it. Att Uverse app, when you login it give a message about allow permissions, it had all, anything that need the gps. if I turn off the power saver I do not have those issues.

[Edit]Actually this doesn't work well. A couple posts down is my fix that works.
I logged in after a while to post this! This is a reply to you and op and anyone else having this "problem". Thanks to this forum post, I found a solution. I think it's an ingenious design they created. If you want every app to run in the background, *enable Duraspeed and enable all apps* in the top right corner. Then, *Reboot your phone*.
After you do this, the phone will magically be as fast as it should again. It's like I rebought a phone 100x better then what I was using .
The ingenious part of it is, if you don't want certain apps running in the background then Disable them! (you'll probably have to reboot for any change to be applied)
I love this design and I am now back in love with my Umidigi F1 , hope this helps everyone.
i sold it like 3 months ago and fixed a broken note 9 for cheap. my friend who owns the f1 since then still has this issue even when he tried your fix.
also another friend who owns a f1 play has this issue since the last update he had, he even newly installed / whiped it and so on, seems like umidigi just has problems with theis software and also it seems like it only affects a few people.

Hello, I agree. The fix wasn't 100%.
So here is the official fix, and once again it makes sense. (You might have to enable developer mode)
Go to your apps/notifications in settings, select an app, under the app click advanced, Battery, then battery Optimizations. Under that page go through your apps and disable optimizations for apps you want to stay on in the background.
Found this out and it works.
Actually figured it out once I read your post
If it doesn't work, reboot your phone.
Still doesn't work, do this along with duraspeed on the selected apps.
Still doesn't work, might just be the app. (Some of my games still don't stay in memory)
It's working good for me now, but if I wanted more apps to stay open I'd check developer settings and turn Max apps to keep in memory to the highest amount.
and I agree, it's a bit unpolished. Probably something to do with their battery optimizations and Android's not being compatable.
Tried several methods and nothing truly works. Your best bet is to flash a GSI/rom. Or just root the phone and install "ram fix by cork" magisk mod. I'm using the latter method and it works fine.
Yep the software itself has far too aggressive memory management despite it having 4Gb of RAM and kills apps far too quickly.
I complained about it to UMIDIGI support and they said go buy an F2.
What i did was used this forum to install Lineage OS and now have no memory issues
Either install a GSI (I suggest LOSQ) or download RAM Management Fix by Crock if you can find it, it's not in Magisk anymore.
