P6 battery usage

Hi, I need a bit of help please with my P6 still on 4.2.2 my issue is a massive drain on battery life apparently being caused by Android OS using up around 70%. I have only wifi and mobile internet running with location etc turned off. One thing that I'm unable to control the background apps manager setting properly in that the only app I want to keep running is WhatsApp so I set the All button to off. However in next to no time I find it has switched itself back to on.
I've been through manage apps and turned off or disabled pretty well all that I dare.
Many thanks in advance.

Oh, just to add a little more information if I try to access Start up manager I get a "Power manager has stopped working" message.
Is there some way I could reinstall or repair the Power manager?

Unfortunately WhatsApp seems to override sleep on a lot of systems so you may be in a situation where it is constantly waking itself up.
Try just letting it run i.e don't try to stop it in start manager.

Thanks for that, the problem doesn't appear to be with WhatsApp because when I look at the battery consumption tab the biggest user by far, and mean at up to 70% is the android OS.
I only mention start up manager as it's one of the items controlled through power manager. My real issue is the background apps manager self enabling all background apps.
I'm really trying to avoid doing a factory reset if possible.

GPS problem

GPS problem
When the screen goes off, it loses its location

I have got the same issue, it is extremely annoying - no way to use any trackers, or voice-only navigation. Have you tried a reset?
I have tried all possible battery settings - using both built in battery saver and going through hidden settings apps. I give apps "no restrictions" for battery saving but the gps switches off the moment the screen goes off.
On an older Miui phone I have no such issue (redmi note 4x with MIUI 10)

No such issue on my device....

I had to reset it up factory settings, but now it works well. Maybe the upgrade to miui 11 broke it? Now however, on 11 with GPS working fine while screen off.

Have you locked in memory which ever app you using to track via GPS. Also turn off battery optimization

Unable to receive notifications after MIUI 12 Update

Hi all, I updated my rooted note 8 pro to miui 12 through twrp yesterday and all went fine but after some time I realized that I am unable to receive any notification including WhatsApp and outlook email and when i manually open the app, I receive pending messages instantly... so i tried to do some tricks. myself.. I turned off battery saver for it and set it to no restrictions and also turned on auto start option as well but no luck ... issue is still same..
i also tried to turn off adaptive notification in special access section but it didn't help either, also it sets itself to notifications option (2nd option) automatically after i restart my phone.. so , anybody got a clue what should i do for it as it is so important for me to get all notifications instantly... Thankyou
i have Indonesian rom installed in my phone in case it matters..

Did you reboot after turning on auto start? Also try setting the notification priority to high or locking the apps in app manager.

Of course I rebooted many times and notifications already set to high priority by default but still I am unable to get notifications.

Did you lock the apps with app manager and set battery optimizations to no restrictions?

Problems with my notifications on JOYUI 12

Hi everybody,
I'm running CN rom KLEN2011100CN00MQ3 and I'm having problems with my WhatsApp notifications. The OS doesn't allow the app to auto start even after I've gone into the app settings and enabled it.
Does anyone have any solution to this problem?

Its the battery saver find the google services framework apk and install it (if you dont have it already) and make sure the battery saver is turned off on that one. It tends to turn it on automatically whenever the phone battery runs low. Also for some weird reason whatsapp still turns off for me when im sleeping and i have to open it back when I wake up in the morning.
The chinese rom is too invasive in myopinion and if you know how to change over to the global I suggest you do.

Question I can't receive notifications on my Xiaomi K40 smartphone

Hi guys,
I recently bought the new Xiaomi K40 Gaming smartphone.
MIUI version: 12.5.8
Android 11
I am still setting it up, but one of the things I can't get to work are the notifications.
I am not receiving notifications from my apps (Twitter, YouTube, Yahoo mail, gmail, facebook, Fotmob etc)
Even if I get notifications they come only when I open the app or in some rare cases when I leave the app open under my menu/recents
- I have trippled checked and the apps are set to give notifications.
- I have set the app to autostart.
- I also made sure that battery saver for the app is on "No restriction"
- I have cleared cache severally, restarted the phone so many times
- Uninstalled and reinstalled the app
Yet I am still not getting consistent notifications.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this
Note: I didn't perform any extra setting and I wasn't having any problems with notifications on my previous phone - Huawei Nova 2 Plus.

Please can anybody help me

As far as I remember, you need to disable battery optimization in general or for the app.
Sadly I don't remember the specifics but that should be easy to explore online.

make sure battery saver is off as well even though you no restrictions if battery saver is on it will over rule that and keep things from running the BG like if the battery falls below 90% if you enable developer options make sure background running apps is set to standard limit and if that still don't work install a custom rom like Arrow my favorite..

I have done this and I am still not getting notifications

I am having the same problem and I turned everything did all that need to be done and still nothing did you get a solution for this

Same here , notifications only appear when i open the app , i mean what kind of battery saving or optimization which silence messaging notifications without a clear option toggle , if there is anything lead to preventing notifications MIUI should made it clear for the user .. so frustrating

Try in settings / accounts and notifications / Automatic data sync
