Question android apps are going back to default settings after reboot - Asus Zenfone 9

android apps are going back to default settings after reboot.
I generally limit some apps from running in the background and change some permission settings and toggle off the "change permission if unused". The thing is my apps are going back to the initial settings and permissions after i reboot the device (sometimes) the other day i reboot it and everything wasn't changed. But i power off the phone and let it off like 24 hours and it happened again everything was back to default and permissions too.
Does anyone know what might be causing this problem and if it has a fixed or work around??? Thanks in advance

I have that problem too. After every restart, I have to set up tasker and similar apps again.
I forwarded your question to the official asus forum.

Thank you so much

update: after the latest August update. this appears to be fixed, im not having this issue any more.

I was set to get the ZF9 when it's released in the States but this is very concerning. Has the update OP mentioned help in your case? Thanks.

No, I only have the August update. Not fixed
I don't understand how he can have an update from September in August.

No sorry i meant the August update

And since i haven't had the apps issue

Hi , sorry i won't be able to do that anymore since i sold the device a couple of months ago

Am on different device (Pixel 7 Pro) and this happen to me as well

I have the same problem and tried almost everything. Once I even got more than 2 weeks without settings returning to the default, but sooner or later it happens again and again.

My update came though at 18.00hrs GMT but was WIFI only, I am also on EE
When you go to the store you will find that there are also updates for many of the Nokia Apps.
I have only had this phone for a week and thus am not too sure about the changes offered by the updates. In settings however I don't remember "network +" being the option name for call waiting. I don't remember there being a sunlight and battery setting under "display+touch".
Nokia music seems to now have access to my music library (perhaps it always did though)
On reopening Here maps it says "whats new" and tells me that it has true offline maps, Venue Maps and Turn by Turn. Not sure if any of these are actually new but Here wanted to tell me about them via a one time only "nag screen"
After the system reboot I did notice that the ambient light sensor went mental. The shadow cast by my hand whilst typing in landscape made the screen go from it's usual bright to very dim. TBF I don't know if standing under a UV lamp (outside the pub) was responsible or not. Prior to this I had never noticed the light sensor doing anything at all. I also noticed that I had lost connection to EE until I rebooted again.
As for reliability, I had not experienced any problems prior to the update
If you update the Nokia setting apps you get the option to see details on your "other" data... and clean temp files...

No Whatsapp notification icon on the top bar when getting a message only badge icon

I have upgraded to EMUI 4.0 and Marshmallow.
Un-rooted phone.
When I get a message on whatsapp it doest show at the top of the notification bar all I get is a number badge on whatsapp icon. I seem to get it on all other apps i have just not on whatsapp!!
It was working fine on previous EMUI and Lollipop.
Any ideas?
already done: Added to protective apps and wifi on and all the settings for app on whole phone screen is off.
Annoying me now!
same problem
Hi i have the same problem.
All my settings are correct but still not working. ive been searching for a solution for weeks now..
After restarting my phone the notifications will work properly for about an hour or so and then for no apparant reason they will stop.
Do u have any knowledge about de downloadable firmware/updates and how to use those?
cause i came across this on that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64535052&postcount=31
Please let me know.
Same issue here
I did clean install of B370 two weeks ago and protected Whatsapp and some other applications in four places. During this period I never experienced notification issue with Whatsapp.

Same mate, restart works fine for hour or so then stops working! I am a IT technician so i can follow the updates and stuff I just didn't want to root or flash anything.
Thinking about downgrading back to Lollipop seem to work fine on that.

Please let me know when you have it (and i hope you will be willing to explain to me how to set it on my phone haha).
Ive downgraded to lollipop. its working fine at the moment, but i just miss some marshmallow features.
I have this same issue, even if I protect WhatsApp. Hope Huawei solves it soon.

Help! Is this spyware??

I own a Verizon Galaxy s9+ and A galaxy tab s3. For the past few months I've noticed strange things going on with my phone and for at least 6 months on my tablet. Even factory resets don't solve this. I feel like I've googled everything to no avail. I started to think I was just crazy, until the other day I went to add a new account to my phone, an email account, and noticed something strange under accounts. I don't see any abnormal accounts under "accounts" in settings, but when I click "add account" there is a strange icon with no title next to it, like its hidden, and it has the green circle next to it like its been added, but I can't click or see what it is. Please help! I used to be super nosey on my bfs phone and now wondering if he's had something on mine for a while as well?? Thank you!!

Hi , I'm not sure but I think maybe some spy app is installed on your phone : / . Check if your phone has Official firmware .
To do that , follow this video instruction :

First time I see something like that ...

A factory reset will not help with many spying apps. Best you can do is send the device back unless have an unlocked bootloader. Then you can format all partitions and add apps back one by one.
To be honest. If something is like this is needed. Then move on. The relationship was already dead.

strange stats on display covering everything

Hello,
Sorry if I'm not posting this in the right place, however I don't know where else to try.
Since yesterday evening, I have some strange cpu and battery stats on my rooted Galaxy S6 device:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
These stats appear on top of everything, including my secure lockscreen, camera, etc, which makes me think this is some hidden Android feature.
The reason why I'm posting is: I personally didn't enable this, I've had some guests yesterday, but none of them is really tech-savvy, and I don't have any additional apps installed since yesterday.
Does anybody have any idea what this is and how to disable it?
Thanks
It's of an app installed on your device, AccuBattery, check it's settings, or uninstall it if you don't need it.

Wow, I feel like a complete idiot.
Apparently, after I bought accubattery, I didn't notice that I had new options available in it's menu.
Someone must have turned the on.
For reference, anyone else who gets this - in Accubattery, open up the main menu and you have Overlay Settings. That's where you can enable or disable the overlay statistics.
The weird thing is that they will appear on top of everything, which can seen confusing, and rather annoying.

New system update available

Version 58.0.A.22.21 147MB
Does anyone know if there are any improvements?
Updated, don't see any difference. Maybe security patch?
I do not know.
Irritating that there are no changelog. Am I imagining it or have they tweaked the vibration strenght on long presses and the like to not be so aggressive?
They have changed the home button icon. It now has a circle around it.
installed this morning.
Security patch updated to October 2020
I also noticed that the issue with the screen going on and off during calls is now fixed!
What problems are you talking about? When making a call, the sensor works as it's supposed to for me.

Before the new update I faced this from time to time. With the new update this issue is gone for me.

The only situation that I noticed this is when I was accidentally touching the sensor while holding the phone.
It takes some time to get used not to touch with your thumb on that area.

Hey, my fingerprint sensor was behaving like crap too, now after a factory reset it works very well, can only recommend!
Pretty odd that HK & TW got reverted back to the older version. Pretty sure it was there a few days ago.
Still no update for TW model, Why Sony Why???
I thought battery life was a little better.
