Hi @matchboxbananasynergy I just updated my P6A to 2022120700 and I can confirm that these settings:

  • Display over other apps
  • Install unknown apps
  • Restricted battery optimization for selected apps

No longer reset themselves after rebooting or updating. So, it looks like this update fixed these bugs. Thank you!

    lordiont Thank you for testing this further! I will mark this as solved for now, but if anybody that is on the 2022120700 update or later experiences this in the future, please feel free to leave a reply here and let us know.

      Unfortunately it just happened to me! I'm on TQ1A.221205.011, and it's the first time in 5-6 reboots.

      • Install unknown apps

      • Restricted battery optimization for selected apps

      These two are affected in my case.

        Pixel 6a - all settings stayed as they were before last update.

        MrMToad Same here. Restricted battery optimizations and Install unknown apps were reset. Happened on a Pixel 4a 5G after rebooting from latest 2022120700 stable update.

            The same on P6a when installing 2022120700 stable OTA update.

              When I updated to 2022120300 nothing got reset. Interesting. Perhaps it depends on something in the update?

              P7P I got these reset after update to 2022120700. Now updated to 2022121100 and didn't get this issue. I noticed on the 2022120700 update that the "optimizing apps" prompt took way longer time, maybe not something related, but something I noticed.

                Same happened to me with the last update TQ1A.221205.011.2022121100. (Pixel 6a)

                All toggles for stop activity when not in use were reset.

                Very strange, at least for me everything works correctly after 2022120300 update.
                No more issues since then (touch the wood) on P7 Pro.
                I wonder why it is inconsistent (i.e. happens on one device and doesn't happen on the other with the same firmware).

                brambler Unfortunately, happened to me again with the 2022121100 stable update.

                  Just FYI.
                  Absolutely the same experience on P6a, incl. the post update with "Optimizing apps".

                    It seems to be that the toggles get reset after each reboot now, at least on my 6a.

                    Unfortunately, I, too, experienced a reset again of all special permissions after the very latest update (2022121100). It appears that @sebastianha may be onto something, as I also think that this specific breakage may be affected on/off by certain things that are tweaked in each update.

                    Special permissions reset again after last update 2022121400:

                    • picture in picture - all apps has access now
                    • wifi management - all apps are allowed now
                    • turn on the screen - all apps are allowed now
                      It would be nice to have at least provisionary toggle to deny all.

                    Unlike the last few OTA updates, no reset for me on 2022121400!
