In Settings -> Smart assistance -> Accessibility -> Downloaded Services, the apps installed there keep getting turned off.
I'm running Type Machine (keystroke logger) and Smart Launcher, and neither will stay enabled. I can turn them on, then a while later, I'll get a notification that Smart Launcher is unable to turn the screen off, and directs me to this setting, where I find both disabled again. I haven't been able to pin down a time frame yet, although it will happen multiple times between reboots. Neither setting survives a reboot, either.
Anyone seen this before? I've found a few reports of it on Reddit, but no solutions. Can't believe I couldn't find anything about it on here.
Aside from this and other small annoyances like the touchscreen apparently losing calibration, it's a fantastic phone.
I sometimes have this issue with nova launcher as well. You can go battery settings > app launch > turn the two apps to manual manage. It may solve this issue of them auto turning off.

Thanks, I've done that and will keep an eye on it to see if that solves the problem.
I have this issue frequently with MacDroid. I have MacDroid set to manual battery control and have excluded it from pretty much all system management. It also has every permission known to mankind.
Oddly, even when Accessibility shows that MacDroid is disabled, sometimes (most of the time) it continues to function. So this may be a UI bug as much as a system disabling the services bug.
The cause I am not sure. I only know the downloaded service for Nova Launcher gets auto turned off if you switch back to Huawei launcher. However, it does NOT get auto switch off when you remain on nova launcher.

It doesn't seem to affect apps running at all, merely affects certain specific features. In the case of Type Machine, it seems to just be blocking its ability to capture words coming off the keyboard app. The app is still running, I can still see previous captures, it just stops capturing.
With Smart Launcher, it says it's needed specifically to "allow Smart Launcher to expand the notification panel and the quick settings panel".
I changed the power settings per Koong1's suggestion... they turned off again after a while, but I re-enabled both, and they've stayed on ever since. So that may have solved it.

You can try restarting your device to check if they stayed enabled. If it does, then they are pretty likely to remain stay enabled in the future.

Hello,
I recently discovered that some options deselect/uncheck themselves randomly in my stock non updated rooted Honor 7.
The options that are problemantic are:
USB debugging from developer options.
Some apps selected in accessibility options.
Some apps selected in notification handlers.
Does somebody have the same problem?
I tried to create a tasker+SecureSettings profiles to reactivate problematic options "every time" the screen is turned on, but is very energy consuming and not ideal. Besides, many times, the options get unchecked/deactivated anyway (Tasker or SecureSettings fail to apply the change, although the trigger conditions are met.
Has somebody found proper/better solution?
Thanks in advance,
Xavi
i too have same problem,But not able to solve it!!!!(PLK-UL00)
To stop accessibility turning off the app has to be protected.This has to be done through the phone manager app.I had the problem of it turning off in Greenify,now that the app is protected it works fine.
From time to time various system settings get switched to off:
- Device administrators
- Notification access
- Accessibility
I've already deselected all MIUI battery optimizations, so not sure what's happening.
One potential culprit I suspect is Mi Cloud. When it's running a backup, I notice that these settings get reset, along with some other settings (my Nova Launcher; Google Keyboard gets selected as default, whereas I had chosen Swiftkey).
These are the ones that come to mind, or that I've noticed, but there may be others.
Suggestions?
I also notice that Xposed asks to reboot, as if it was switched off and back on.
One serious problem in "realme 1" is when I turn on the accessibility of a certain app and developer options, status bar color changes to yellow nd it won't go until I switch them back to off....it says Accessibility is turned on. Tap to close..... And even if I clear ram, the accessibility turns off automatically... Any solution to keep accessibility of a desired app always on? I tried every possible trick but in vain...a little help is appreciated. Thank you

Color of status bar changing to yellow and need to turn off is not possible they (realme )claims it's feature of color os. And accessibility option issue is when you turn on accessibility option or similar app which is permitted to accessibility option is responsible.
Yeah, I too noticed it
I have the exact same problem, I thinking of to change my phone due to multiple reasons
New updated solved the issue
I always set my dpi as 540, the orange developer option reminder was irritating. The recent software update has solved the issue, check it out.

Solved in New update but still there is a problem
I use greenify app to kill apps in background
But it needs accessibility on Everytime.
But once i kill the app from recents (greenify)
The accessibility gets turned off automatically in settings.
Also in developer options i turned all animations off, but after restart all settings are restored to default.

no you don't get it right, what he says is whenever animations are set to 0.5x (in my case) .. after restart device the settings are get default to 1x automatically. This is really weird.. and frustrating.
I have the paid fluid navigation app that works awesome. I also did the adb trick in order to disable the native gestures. My issue is that every once in a while the system will keep reverting to the 3 key navigation bar setting even though I had it set to gestures. See below. I'm using Nova launcher prime as well. It's annoying to have to go back to settings and change it back to "gestures". Anyone having this or know why it's doing this?
I normally wouldn't care about this as it really doesn't affect my gesture navigations no matter what the native settings are set to, however I have noticed that whenever it's set to the 3 key bar, when I unlock my phone, the whole screen shifts down really quick to take up the space that was supposed to be occupied by the navigation bar, if that makes sense. If the setting is on "gestures" , nothing shifts and it's really smooth and seamless.
In fluid gestures try disabling any settings in the blacklist. I was having issues with the app constantly stopping after fiddling around I found doing this fixed all the problems.
It may help, can't be certain though.

I had 2 of the default settings activated in the blacklist section, I've turned everything off as you stated now. Let's hope that does the trick. Thanks!
There doesn't seem to be a way to turn on high performance mode outside of navigating to battery in the settings and then advanced battery settings. Does anyone know of a way to add a notification switch or even a widget on the home screen to quickly turn it on and off?
Also I have tried my best to eliminate the OS's ability to kill apps running in the background. The one I have issues with the most is PokemonGo. I will switch from one app to another and when going back to PokemonGO it will have killed it and it restarts when going back to it. Loading like I just opened the app for the first time.
Things I have done so far. Disabled battery optimization for the app in the battery settings and turned on "Allow background activity" in the app settings under app management.
I have no task killers installed and the OS is basically stock after a factory reset.
I'm rooted and on DE2118_11_C.16
Have you tried locking the PokemonGo app to prevent it from being suspended?
Also you should check setting under developer mode in APPS section: Susspend execution for cached apps.
I would lower the background process limit from 5 to 3 due to the limited amount of ram on this device and lock any app you want to continue to run if it falls into 4th place.
Also, I would tur off RAM Boost as it does not improve app selection based on my use.
I have it locked yes, still gets closed in the background at random it seems.
RAM Boost was off as well.
The Suspend execution for cashed apps can you explain a bit on how this works? Do I have to cache the app or something in addition for it to work?
I keep the VPN Hotspot, AD Guard, and Pokemon GO locked.

This will "freeze" apps that are cached (past the open app limit) and they will not take any resources. This also will cause them to stop responding like your Pokemon app.
