Problem: Phone forgets app settings over and over again - Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers

I have a very annoying issue that I thought was related to MIUI but now I experiencing the same thing on several treble roms.
I don't know if its an isolated issue to a recent update to Firefox, youtube and titanium backup or if there actually is a bug on Mi max 3.
Firefox
It forgets the setting that I disabled "Top Sites" tab many times.
It forgets that I set telemetry to all off.
Today a notification popped up saying that I am not connected to Firefox sync..why??
Titanium backup
I froze MIUI stock gallery time after time after time and it would defrost and become active again..I had enough and just removed the folder from /system/priv-app or wherever it was placed because I'm using Lineage OS gallery app.
Youtube
I finally got notifications working in MIUI for youtube but then all notifications played over and over and over again...I even clicked the notification to bring me to messages in the youtube app so that it would clear viewing the notification as marked or whatever but it kept coming again and again until I muted two specific youtube comments.
Does anyone else here has the Mi Max 3 and has these issues as well?
Can it be related to flashing this? https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/

Play store/Youtube issues

I'm having this really weird issue with these two apps for a while. Basically I would keep getting connection error in the Play store or on Youtube every few minutes or so, then I would retry and everything would be back to normal. Odd thing is that I can have a browser open in a side window and go to google or any other website just fine while this issue happens. I'm not sure if there's more google apps affected. Hell one time it was so bad that Youtube refused to load for a good minute or so, I opened a pen window for the browser, loaded up the same youtube video in there and it started playing before the app even loaded it (kept giving me connection error).
I have Adblock Plus running in the background so I wonder if that's what's doing this..but it seems odd for it to affect these apps.
Any ideas to fix this?

I don't have Adblock but I have issues with YouTube App aswell. It works most of the time flawlessly but sometimes like you it seems to take to long to load so what I do is close the app fully then launch it again and it works fine, I also had another weird issue of whenever I played a video in full screen and changed the tablets orientation it would dim the brightness to 0% (even changing the screens brightness to 100% wouldn't cause the app to brighten up) and hoy a "small weird box with what looked like signal bars next to it", this hasn't happened the last few times I used the tablet but its just bizarre so deffo something is up with the App that's for sure.

Jibberish and noisey rendering in Google photos and chrome randomly turns black

I recently went through a disaster of switching to AOSP 9.0 custom ROM and when I tried to revert, I got my encryption password messed up by the recovery.
Restored everything to stock and then just rooted with magisk.
Phone, now is acting crazy. I've done 2 factory resets (literally lost 3+GB worth of photos and documents due to encryption lockout).
In Google photos I see my things backed up just fine but they appear jibberish and noisey on my phone's screen. They are fine otherwise if I explore my backup on PC. (Some rendering issues maybe?)
Secondly, Google chrome randomly turns into black screen while the webpage is alive (playing audio/video etc).
I need to resolve this issue. I'm currently on MIUI 10 8.12.27 beta. I didn't have any issue previously on 8.10.22 ROM before all the custom ROM and encryption fiasco.
Anybody has a clue how to resolve these issues?
Also, device randomly jumps to lockscreen while I'm in the interface (doesn't do so when I'm playing a game)
There are no artifacts or abnormal behavior while playing games. Only for 2D render.

Apps Randomly Closing. How to stop this?

I am using, for example Notification toggles and Volume Booster App. After several hours or so they automatically close and I have to keep launching them again. I've tried everything and gone through batter and power management and allowed these apps to run automatically but they keep closing.
Never had this issue with Sony in the past. Any solution??
I have the same issue
And when not using my device for several hours I don't receive any WhatsApp messages or emails. Once unlocking the phone all messages from through.
Sometimes I have to even turn it off and on again as the mobile data stops working. I've not had this issue before. Any solution?
Since last two updates same here for me some apps auto closes and even dont receive notification on time for few apps
I've followed these tips to prevent Tasker and Blokada from being killed. Working fine ever since.

Is it not because of Phone Manager closing some apps automatically? Oddly enough when using Chrome and Brave, only Brave gets closed while Chrome stays opened.

Apps take ages to refresh

I've been having an issue pretty much since I first started using my phone, whenever I open an app that is already in the memory it takes it quite a while to refresh its data and it kind of just hangs there until it refreshes.
So for example I have a stock trading app which whenever I open it up none of the data/prices update for a few seconds.
My Reddit app Reddit Is Fun does a similar thing when press on a post it takes ages for the comments to load up.
I have the adguard DNS in the background that I've tried turning off thinking that might be the cause but it makes no difference.
I've tried changing the performance settings from optimised to high performance etc nothing changed
The only other thing I can think of is maybe because I used smart switch to copy over my previous phone s8+ to this one it may have created this strange issue.
Is anyone else noticing anything similar to my issue?
TIA
No, I have not experienced anything of the sort, apps open at 1 to 2 seconds max, bit I have read some posts that describe some troubles when restoring data from another device, I have never done it, I prefer fresh starts

I agree with you that Smart Switch could be the culprit .....reason is , that on my
Note 9 ,i had this very similar issues , with apps taking ages to refresh etc ..
I also used Smart switch ,to copy my backup from my Note 8 to Note 9 .
I eventually did a factory reset and issue was solved .!!
Since then i do not use Smart Switch anymore .!
If i now transfer my apps ,data etc , re Samsung Cloud and Google combined .
Samsung cloud for my Samsung apps and settings
and Google for my Play store apps, emails ,contacts etc ...
So it's possible that apps ,data from Smart Switch was corrupted either , with the initial backup or re install .
So you have to decided ,if it's worth doing a factory reset ?
Keep in mind there could be another reason/culprit .... also .!
In my case Swatch Switch was the culprit..!
Further ,i have High Performance ,enabled on my Note 10 + ,
and similar to @ winol
I have no issues with apps opening .!!
I have in past , tested "recent apps " feature over and over.
Apps open 9 out of 10 times instantly ...no lag or refreshing etc ..!
Good luck .
Note....
i also , have Adguard install and yes ,it could be AdGuard ,
but for example ...... i had issues with Firefox, not
connecting to a link ...trying to connect etc etc ...
I turned Adguard setting , " off" for Firefox .
( Adguard /Apps Management/ FireFox )
Issue was solved re Firefox .
Thanks for the replies.
Apps open instantly but take a second or two to refresh.
Seems like the only culprit could be having used smart switch to port over from my s8+
Annoying thing is now doing a factory reset and setting up my phone from scratch feels like a complete nightmare lol

Question Apps not running in background

Does anyone else have this issue where some apps such as instagram, discord, or twitter not run in the background after clearing the recent apps screen? I have tried re-installing the apps, as well as setting their battery options to unrestricted, but to no avail. Because of this I am unable to receive any notifications from these apps. If anyone has experienced this and knows a fix I would really appreciate help.
i think i have the same issue,
received it yesterday
hopefully we get a global rom soon
The only workaround I have for this is to lock the apps that I want running in the recent apps screen. I don't like it because I have a habit of clearing my recent apps every now and then, but it will have to do for now.

The same thing happens to me. It does not happen to me with all the apps but I have verified that with several. for example the ExpressVPN app only works for me if I have the app open in "recent", if I close it the app stops working
messages app not working also, i had to install google messages and it's ok
Hi
Go to Device Shield APP /App management
change the setting in App auto Strat and background running.
I will start a new religion in your name. Ty my savior.
