Huawei Notifications

To check the operating system version on your Huawei device, follow these steps:

1. Open your phone’s settings.
2. Scroll down and select "About Phone" (or "Phone Information").
3. In this section, you’ll see information about your EMUI version (Huawei firmware) and Android version.
4. If your device runs on HarmonyOS, the HarmonyOS version will be displayed instead of Android.

Important! Some Huawei devices may have their own system version — EMUI or HarmonyOS. Because of this, the menu names might slightly differ, but the required settings are usually found in similar sections.

1. Go to Settings → Battery → App Launch.
2. Turn off the “Manage all automatically” option.
3. Find SingularityApp and set it to manual management, making sure all toggles (auto-launch, secondary launch, and background running) are enabled.

Auto-launch Manager

1. Go to Settings → All → Auto-launch Manager.
2. Allow auto-launch for SingularityApp.

Battery Optimization Disable:

1. Go to Settings and find “Battery Optimization”.
2. Tap the small inverted triangle next to “Don’t allow”, then select “All apps”.
3. Find SingularityApp and select “Don’t allow”.

Note: The procedures may vary depending on your EMUI version and device model. It’s recommended to follow the instructions carefully to ensure apps function properly in the background.

According to online sources, Huawei users who experience issues with background app performance sometimes suggest unconventional solutions — such as modifying system apps.

This is quite a serious step, so if you decide to try it, be sure to study the information available from open sources. Users often share their experiences on forums and in online communities — you can find detailed guides and precautions there.

A common example of a system app that restricts other apps from running is PowerGenie. It automatically closes any app that isn’t on a predefined system whitelist. Unfortunately, you can’t manually add apps to that list.

As users report in public sources, the only way to stop the system from interfering with apps is to remove PowerGenie. However, there’s a catch: it’s a system app, and removing it is only possible with tools like ADB (Android Debug Bridge).

⚠️ Alternative Method

According to unconfirmed information, it may be possible to simply disable PowerGenie in Settings → Apps, but after restarting your device, this setting will need to be reapplied.

Classic battery optimization:

1. Open Settings and find “Ignore battery optimization”.
2. Tap the small inverted triangle next to “Allowed”.
3. Select “All apps”.
4. Find SingularityApp and set it to “Allow”.

1. Phone Settings → Advanced Settings → Battery Manager → Power Saving: Set the mode to “Performance”.
2. Phone Settings → Advanced Settings → Battery Manager → Protected Apps: Set SingularityApp as “Protected”.
3. Phone Settings → Apps → SingularityApp → Battery: Turn off “High power consumption warning”. Enable “Keep running after screen is turned off”.
4. Phone Settings → Apps → Advanced (at the bottom of the screen) → Ignore Optimizations: Tap “Allowed” → Select “All apps”. Find SingularityApp in the list and set it to “Allow”.

Unfortunately, in EMUI 4 there are no ways to prevent background apps from being closed.

Huawei P9 Plus

1. Phone Settings → Apps → Settings → Special Access → Ignore Battery Optimization: Select “Allow” for SingularityApp.

Huawei Honor 9 Lite, Huawei Mate 9 Pro

1. Phone Settings → Battery → Launch: Set SingularityApp to “Manage manually” and make sure all options are enabled.

There’s a pre-installed app called System Manager that can also disable apps depending on its internal settings, and it includes a smart feature that automatically turns off apps.

1. Open the System Manager and tap the gear icon.
2. Disable the “Smart Settings” feature.
