Intent BOOT_COMPLETED not working on Huawei device
android, android-intent, android-service, bootcompleted, huawei-mobile-services
Solution
Huawei Phones have a built-in startup manager, it could be that the app is not yet enabled.
Go to Settings > All, and choose Startup manager. This program is used to manage startup apps on Android phone. Allow or disallow app to run automatically after the Huawei phone starts up.
Problem
I want to listen to APN Changes in my Android App. Therefore I start a Service on `android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED`. This Service starts a ContentObserver which listens to changes to `content://telephony/carriers/preferapn`. I tested this setup on a few different devices (e.g. LG Spirit with Android 5.0, Samsung A3 with 6.0, Emulator Nexus5 with 7.0 and Huawei P9 Lite with 7.0) On the Huawei phone `onCreate` of my Service is not called. My other approach with `android.intent.action.ANY_DATA_STATE` in combination with a `BroadcastReceiver` which is registerd in the Manifest doesn't work either on this phone. relevant parts of my manifest: ``` <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/> ... <receiver android:name=".ConnectivityChangeReceiver"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.ANY_DATA_STATE" /> </intent-filter> </receiver> <receiver android:name=".APNChangedServiceStarter" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" /> <action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON" /> <action android:name="com.htc.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON"/> </intent-filter> </receiver> <service android:name=".APNChangedService"></service> ```
