Huawei Ultra Battery Saving mode

[Mark Ty]

My Huawei Mate 7 has a Ultra Battery Mode that turns everything off except phone, sms, and contacts. Effectively turning my smart phone into a dumb phone that will run a week without recharging :-)

My problem is when I exit this mode, tasker does not start. I have to either restart the phone or manually start tasker.

I have run in foreground checked. I.m using normal power saving instead of start power saving so there is no app blocking.

Does anyone have any ideas how to automatically restart tasker in this scenario?

Is Tasker killed when the phone enters this mode ?

Thanks for taking the time to review this! That alone means a lot.

Before running ultra power mode tasker is running.

During ultra power mode, everything is killed except phone sms and contacts. So yes tasker is killed.

After ultra power mode, tasker does not auto start. No icon in notification and profiles don't activate. Things like fb still give out notification updates.

Do other background services start ?

Thing is there's no standard Android signal for 'I just came back from power saving'. When the device starts,
Tasker gets a signal at that point so it can start up, but apparently not after exit this power saving
mode (that might confuse apps into thinking the phone has just booted guess). That's the problem
with this manufacturer-specific things, there's on standard for what they are doing. Possibly
they have defined some signal in their own docs, but I can't follow docs for loads of different
manufacturers.

Probably because they are receiving notifications through the network.

My only suggestion is to try creating a profile with a Notification event, might start the
monitor when a new notification comes in.

Stay away from Huawei. I work in support and Huawei is the *only* phone that has issues with just about everything. 

Try the following:

- settings > apps > advanced options > ignore optimizations > "allow" for the app you're having problems with
- settings > advanced settings > battery manager > protected apps > ensure your app is enabled

Hope this helps.

But again: stay away from Huawei.
