Overall speed - Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review

Would you say that the Huawei P20 Pro is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Huawei P20 Pro exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

So far so good
Firstly Google maps is fine, no issues whatsoever so can only assume this was a one off but the reviewer probably had a bad day..
The speed seems a little quicker than the Mate 10 Pro in use, so face unlock and app scrolling is great and in terms of using apps, really I don't care if the iPhone X or One Plus 5 loads a game 2 seconds faster its really not important to me. If I am honest some of the reviewers seem to focus on the tiniest issue just to get a few more views or eek out their video for a minute longer and its not really objective.
If you benchmark this phone, it will not blow your socks off and if that's important to you then buy an iPhone but in everyday use so far nothing has crashed, apps have responded quickly and it performs how I would expect a flagship to.
The Mate 10 Pro I have benchmarked higher using the stock launcher than using Nova, yet Nova is widely regarded to improve performance so that probably explains how beneficial benchmarks are to 90% of the customer base..
No offence intended but I have been through this with Camera reviewers talking about performance and IQ etc when some of the best photos I see posted are taken on cameras 5 years old...

Would agree, Face unlock, scrolling and fingerprint sensor are very very quick.
Coming from a 3T I'm struggling to like the launcher though, so I installed Nova, was very impressed with the performance until I tried to drop a clock widget on the home screen. Nova then crashed and wont restart. I get a pop up from Smart Recovery wanting to uninstall Nova. I'm still hacking around to see what will fix it

Just added a accuweather widget in Nova launcher (i use the pro version) and it seems ok just had to adjust size but its there and works. Which clock widget was it you tried?

Yeah, I'm on the Prime version too. It was the default Huawei Clock & Weather widget. As I said, Nova had been fine, I'd done my first pass with setting the desktop grid, tweaking animations. etc.
I've since wiped Nova's cache and it still wont restart. I'll wipe all the Nova data next and see if it'll start up no.
I have submitted a crash dump to TeslaCoil, so I'll see if they come back with any suggestions

Tried the nova weather and clock and it crashed Nova completely and came up with a critical error so seems like a generic issue

Just tested this and yep, crashed Nova, but had no issues restarting app from Huawei launcher and then making it defaults again.

Benchmark
Interesting that yet again using the stock launcher the Antutu score is 2000 points higher. Also the P20 Pro is still way behind my old Mate 10 Pro on overall score despite having the same combo. I know benchmarks are generally useless but it would suggest Huawei still have some performance optimisation work to do on the P20 Pro.

Exact same thing. I had to . uninstall Nova fully then re-install it. Seems the clock widget is for their launcher only and once Nova has it 'saved' into memory that you want it on the desktop, every time it tries to start and load it, it will crash. Need to clear all the data so it doesn't try to keep loading it.
Shame as it's a nice looking widget.

guys, nova wont work with huawei weather widget, it never did since i started using huawei with the p9 2 years ago, always crashes and there is no fix

Okay, so I actually started to think that something was wrong with my phone, since basically no one reports performance issues in daily usage.
So I reset my phone which already helped a bit (so maybe something actually went wrong the first time) and then went on to remove all bloat that came with the phone via ADB. Every third party app and also most system apps that came from Huawei (there really wasn't much left after that). This really changed things, the phone felt a lot snappier after that.
And last but not least I installed Nova prime which again, made a big difference (which is surprising to me that the launcher made such a big difference even in other apps).
Now I basically can't distinguish the performance from other stock android / pixel-like devices.
So if you're reading this and are one of the few people with performance problems, then try those things first, before returning your new device.

Don't suppose you have a list of removed apps?
I was considering going to something like Lineage once it releases, but I also love the idea of the Easy Projection which will be gone, so looks like i'm sticking to EMUI for the time being.

Sorry, didn't think to write it down :/
However I followed this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-list-bloat-software-emui-safe-to-t3700814
And after that I installed Application Inspector and picked out every package that still bothered me.

Hey Dave,
I've been working through the list on my end so I thought maybe I could share what I've removed so far.
As with most system changes while I can say I haven't see any negative side effects yet, it doesn't mean there won't be any going forward
Code:
com.hisi.mapcon
com.google.android.apps.tachyon
com.facebook.appmanager
com.facebook.system
com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
com.android.calculator2
com.android.dreams.basic
com.android.dreams.phototable
com.android.providers.partnerbookmarks
com.google.android.youtube
com.google.android.videos
com.huawei.phoneservice
com.swiftkey.swiftkeyconfigurator
com.touchtype.swiftkey
com.google.android.music
com.google.android.tts
com.huawei.vassistant
com.android.deskclock
com.android.calendar
com.android.email
com.android.chrome
com.example.android.notepad
I've used the list that @version467 had linked to as well as app inspector to determine what I wanted to remove.
Couple words of warning, for some of the above, calendar, chrome, swiftkey etc... Make sure you first install an equivalent app from the app store before deleting. What I actually did was install all my apps first, then went back and uninstalled and removed excess apps from the phone.
Also, it seems that once removed the only way to restore the app if it's causing you problems is a factory reset

Face Unlock is phenomenally quick as is most everything else. I have a problem with the Google feed page showing blank every so often and today the Fastmail app had slowed to a crawl (irony) but other than that no complaints at all. First thing I tried was Google Maps which works as well as any other phone.

You could just disable the apps instead of removing them. As soon as my P20 arrives, I gonna check all that stuff about smoothness.

Your right, unfortunately a lot of the apps mentioned do not have a disable option which means that either we're stuck with them on the phone in a folder or homescreen.
Alternatively, you can uninstall them for your user and not have to worry about them. Personally this was a better option for me.
Truth is, I did it mainly to have a cleaner app draw rather than smoothness. I'll never use the default mail client for instance so it made sense to get rid of it.

Hm I see. Well in that case you could try to simply move the app folders you like to uninstall from system/apps to a folder on your internal space like /downloads or whatever. Of course you need to be rooted for that. Anyways as soon as I get hands on my P20 I gonna uninstall all Huawei apps anyways and gonna try some build.prop tweaks for touch responsiveness.

Hey Guys,
trying to remove a stock app from the Australian version called Z Camera (com.jb.zcamera). Can't seem to make it happen via ADB.....any ideas? Removing it only seems to reset the app to default.....

Answered my own question. After doing the adb delete, it reset the app to default and then I was able to uninstall it like a normal app......I am sure I didn't get that option before doing the adb delete......go figure!

Launcher pro optimized on Galaxy S - holy cow

Look how fast that interface is.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAE_zKAtMvg
The problem is, thats not just launcher pro its had the modaco RAM hack to move data to NAND. To do that you need root, and when the memory fills up the phone crashes.
If only Samsung could sort this properly in an update this phone would be tops. This whole lag issue is putting me of upgrading from my desire . I really want this phone but there really shouldn't be this issue

Yes there is one hidden thing here: If you have lots of heavy programs like some games, some navigation progs, google earth, you must keep those heavy programs in the old location. I did exactly this - moved to NAND everything except Google Earth, some Gameloft games and navigation. So now I have really fast phone, all my programs, and there is still plenty of space on NAND memory.
And it is just standart/stock XXJF3 firmware btw

What exactly is done to optimize Launcher Pro? Seems to me like the OS got optimized and Launcher Pro is just taking a ride on that performance gain.
This smells like a bull**** ad for Launcher Pro. Does it perform any worse running the vanilla home screen? I seriously doubt it. I even doubt the performance difference is very apparent comparing to TouchWiz.

Thats my video, but not my topic - and the name of the topic is a bit wrong Actually you are partly right - speed increase came from apps data on another partition and memory settings, however Launcher Pro performs faster than TW Launcher even with this optimizations. And I don't see any point in advertising Launcher Pro since its completely free - and even without ads as I can see.

Ofcourse there's a point in advertising free stuff. It sets the bars higher for the commercial stuff.
I don't see how a launcher can start apps faster than another? The "performance difference" I noticed when comparing Launcher Pro to TouchWiz seemed to be the transitions, not the actual loading of apps. While it adds a slight delay, it has nothing to do with performance. TW is a "smoother" experience than Launcher Pro, which is what I like about it (and which is also why I forgive it for looking way too much like iOS).
Would be interesting (but the time needed puts me off the idea ) to make a true comparison of the huge amount of alternative home screens available.

Could you post the steps for this?
The posts about this at Modaco are getting confused, with everyone sharing is way to do it.
I've done this with all apps, but without any games or major apps.
I think you have the best solution for this, just moving the most common apps to NAND.
Thats awesome!
I too would love to know the step by step for this...
Am i to assume with only the common apps moved the 130mb cap causing the phone to crash will never be reached? or?

I posted on the MoDaCo forum on how to do this for Google Earth, it assumes that you followed all of Paul's instructions in the thread (the original data is backed up to data.bak) and that you are familiar with using adb.
adb shell
su
You can check the amount of space utilised by your applications in the /data/data directory by doing the following:
cd /data/data
du -d1
To move Google Earth out of the way
rm -R /data/data/com.google.earth
ln -s /data/data.bak/com.google.earth /data/data/com.google.earth
Disclaimer: If you are uncomfortable doing any of this, don't do it!

Quick question: I am assuming that if you install something big, say Google Earth AFTER you have done Paul's mod, you will then have to move it from dbdata/data to data/data.bak and link it to /data/data from there. As it will go by default to dbdata. Correct?

minfreemem does not work in galaxy anyway.. it does not reset it at reboot. recommend you get autokill it does the same thing and does work at reboot.

Improve overall performance (How to)

I don't know if it's well known, but I found the overall speed/performance to be a little slow. I'm talking about opening apps, and loading them, before they can be used. A simple thing I did was turn off all Moto stuff (Assist, Actions, Display). Not that the phone was bad as it's a very smooth overall device, but after turning off Moto, it really made a difference. All apps open and load much faster, and the UI seems snappier too. I know this may not be good for those who use Moto, but for me the trade off of turning it off is better than the little times I used it. Just thought I'd share in case there are people who are looking to gain a bit of speed.
Another tip is to enable developer options, and change the animations from 1x to .5x. Huge difference in opening apps, and general overall use.

There's not really any bloat. Since the phone is not carrier locked you only get three apps not from Google. Alert, Migrate, and Moto. I guess if you really wanted you can disable the Google apps you don't use, but they are just the standard apps you would use anyway (at least I do) like Maps, Gmail, Hangouts, etc.

Ah sorry, I meant more than just preinstalled apps. I meant background apps and services as well.
I use DroidWall to deny network access to everything except the stuff I need (gmail/web browser/weather widget), and looking at firewall logs I see a ton of moto and google-related services trying to connect to the network even if I don't use them. (DW groups them all into a few "app" entries, so I haven't had time to go through and find the exact culprits). Some of the google ones can be easily disabled (hangouts, drive, etc), but there's more than just those three moto apps that are trying to get network access.
For example, there seems to be some sort of service (Moto Checkin maybe?) that displays a ! warning symbol in the wifi signal meter if that service is not able to connect to some server, even if network access is working in other applications. Disabling that service would help cut down on RAM/CPU usage (even if it's only minute) and network usage (it seems to do this check every 15min or so).
EDIT:
Found what is causing the exclamation mark. It's an android system process that pings google servers to determine if the phone has a connection to the internet and not just the router. I was thinking it had to do with some Moto service because Droidwall grouped "Android System" in the same app category as a bunch of useless Moto services.
This thread details a bit more about it and how to disable it (I went with method 2A): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58252752&postcount=38
Not having a service trying to ping google every few minutes should help improve battery life and a minute amount of RAM/CPU usage.

/ according to me all the motorola phones come without bloatware and by removing mentioned apps i dont think there must be significant improvements. But definitely changing animations will definitely improve your performance but not the moto apps
Is the device still have memory leak bug. My device is lagging like hell after half an hour use.
The antutu benchmark is also 16163 which is very less i think. My Android One topped upto 22000.
I wrote a post similar to this as well, is there a way we can consolidate it to just this one?

What's the best way to do this? Go into Apps and disable, or is there a better way to "turn it off"?
Disabling apps basically stops them from ever being active, period: once disabled they don't run anymore, don't have any services run anymore, and they disappear aka become invisible in the apps tray. The only thing they still do is "hang around" meaning they take up space on the device but that's a given. With a proper root and Titanium Backup (the full purchased version) you can completely uninstall said apps but there's always a chance you'll remove something that's integral to something else, especially when you're dealing with either the Google framework stuff or on Motorola devices the Moto system underpinnings.
Best course of action: go into Settings - Apps - and Force close the app, delete all the cached data if there is any and then disable the app(s) as required on the device itself and then go from there. If there's absolutely no issues ever with the functionality of the device then sure, you can do the root/Titanium Backup/uninstall route if necessary but you're not really going to save a ton of space overall.
Most times, disabling an app is more than enough to get it out of the way and stop bothering you for whatever reason(s).

I regret buying this, it lags like hell no matter what you do. I feel the moto g 2nd gen runs smoother. It could be the memory leak bug on 5.0.2.

Well you have tweaked stuff since day one. I'm sure that has a lot to do with it. I'm running stock, and the only change system wise I did was change Dev options for animations. I have no complaints as I switch back and forth from this, and my Note 3, and I only notice some slowness opening apps, but no lag, stutter, or anything I would consider bad performance. Maybe try flashing stock image, factory reset, and see how it is then.

I have to say I agree here, I am also running Stock. I have not seen any serious lag on ths phone except slightly slower loading. And I know what lag feels like as I am the not so proud owner of a TF700 tablet....
All I have done is mod the animations likewise and disabled as much as I can that I don't use.
I run stock and only modified the animation speed and must say the phone lags much more than I anticipated.
Must be Lollipop because my parents both have the Moto G 4g (kitkat) and everytime I need to help them it feels much more fluid than my Moto e.
From loading apps and the play store to even swiftkey that seems to load so much quicker, very weird.
Just tested it yesterday because I thought I was making things up and put my dads phone and mine next to each other and the speed difference when loading apps was making me sad.
I just picked this phone up yesterday to hold me over until the next moto X, or maybe the next nexus.
came from a nexus 5 (only had it a month and well i couldn't live with its awful battery life, it was so bad maybe only 6 hours per charge and the battery was fairly new). now this phone is noticeably slower, but its really not so bad. I do think though that something in this software build for 5.0.2 is slowing it down. when i am using the phone it seems like theres plenty of free ram, but it just feels a little stuttery scrolling through things like a facebook feed. I had a moto x 2013, and a razr M before that, and am a big motorola fan, but I just cant see how this is so slow. it seems like it'd have to be faster than a razr M (which is same resolution, and 1GB ram) but it seems to me that something is really wrong here.
hopefully 5.1 comes out soon.

Huge lag reduction and scrolling improvement

If you have lag, try this http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/34khjk/protip_if_your_still_getting_memory_leak_problems/
This turned my phone from a choppy mess to a much smoother experience. It is like night and day right after killing the process. Even chrome scrolling improved 100 percent.
Like in the thread I set up tasker to kill systemui every hour. No ill effects so far except my wallpaper turned back to default.

I'm glad I don't have any issues like this.
I don't really have this issue, but I've tried it with ROM toolbox pro/lite - Tools - Rebooter - and Restarted System UI.. Yeah, I've noticed that's it's a lot smoother and snappier. Dang! Lollipop is a kindof a mess.
I have this problem on twitter, play newstand, any forum site browsed with Google Chrome and even the new adblock plus browser.
Does doing this reset your battery timers?

Please share your Tasker Code with us...
not sure how to do that exactly, i just made a new time based profile repeating every hour. then made a task under app, kill app, and selected systemui.
pretty simple just click around in tasker for a minute and you will find a way to do it.
I've set up tasker to kill system Ui but haven't noticed much difference, I still have scrolling lag with various browsers and some apps such as Google play, the latest update for play newsstand and Tapatalk. The latest update to twitter works fine now though.

The worst problem with scrolling is XDA. The junk ads here are abysmal.
Can also be done from Settings→Applications→Application Manager→All→System UI→FORCE STOP.
Does killing System UI (I added all 3 of them) via Tasker actually work if you aren't rooted?
Scrolling in Chrome for me is abysmal and everything is so laggy in general. Not to mention the 10 hour battery life.

LG G4 performance

So I bought my G4 from T-mobile yesterday as I did the initial install it feels choppy and laggy. After all the google play updates and restart the phone was still laggy when I move from app to app, home screen to setting and back. What I found out that help was changing the layout in Setting from Tab View to List View as you navigate around the phone like what I did previously everything became smooth and no longer laggy. Havent run into any issue with battery drain, wifi, touch screen, heat as most users describe yet will update if I find alternative solution.
After a fresh start (after factory reset, ROM flash, OS upgrade), the system does lots of indexing and set up, leading to a laggy phone and high battery drain. Give it a couple of days to settle down.
Yeah mine was same first startup is slow feels so laggy. But now feels great and battery life is also improved. I disabled most of google apps only have gmail.

Ahhh indexing that sounds quite about right for a moment I thought because UI itself throttle down the cpu of the phone so it seems laggy. Thanks for info hope it gets better in a couple of days as for apps that are not needed which bloatware apps do u guys disable so it doesnt run in the background and such?
Mine almost seems as if the phone doesn't have the resources to handle high usage. I'm waiting patiently for root so we can slim it down and better utilize cpu scaling (on demand, performance, etc)

The G4s (And I guess along with other phones) do have a sizable amount of bloatware installed as well. Just looking at the apps pre-installed from out of the box, there's quite a bit for a brand new phone.
Even though my G4 is broken in now, I found that after I disabled a buttload of these apps, it felt a bit snappier.
And I guess as a recommendation since you just got the phone. Replace the text messaging app ASAP! Stock is garbage, after I imported about 10'000 messages from my old phone, it slowed down as if I had it for a while. After replacing it with Textra. It's smooth as butter. Best decision I've ever made, and I generally hate leaving stock app for another one because I prefer less clutter.
Another one is to replace the stock keyboard with something like SwiftKey. This is a no brainer after using the stock keyboard for a while.
Some choose to replace Chrome as well with Firefox, or nochromo.
Just my top 3 recommendations for our G4s. After doing these 3, everything felt a lot better.

Yeah took your advice and replace with google stock messenger, swiftkey, and have not try out the nochromo yet
My G4 works just amazing and it is very smooth and snappy. My version is H815L.
Exactly one must wait about two days so it all settled down. A factory reset helps if your phone didn't come with the newest update 5.1 or what not. But yeah
Mine didn't come with too much bloat if at all so I never had any lag issues, but using Textra and SwiftKey helped a with speeding it up. The stock messaging app wasn't cutting it

It is getting smoother and snappier but still see that animation lag when you're at home screen and press app drawer..do that multiple time and you will see the jitter. BTW I also disable alot of unnecessary app dont know if this come into play and also an option in Battery Setting where it say to reduce game graphic I turn that off:good:. Hopefully it is running at higher cpu/graphic frequency. Question does anyone know what OEM UNLOCK is in Developer menu?
I can play godfire without any issues
Oh look, it's you!!

Multitasking/RAM

You're busy and don't have time to wait, which is why you need to stop reading this thread and get back to organizing your Pogs. Rate this thread to express how the performs when multitasking. A higher rating indicates that the keeps many apps in memory so that they don't need to reload, and that when moving between apps, transitions are smooth and performance is excellent.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I don't know if it's app specific, but when playing a chinese game, Dengeki Bunko: Crossing Void, it's extremely unoptimised and laggy, it's just as if my RAM is at around 400mb spare. Extremely laggy.
Other than that, after only using it for half a day, my device is using around 4.4 GB of ram out of 6GB of RAM when IDLE.
RAM Optimisations need to happen in updates very soon. Again,
A little disappointed with the RAM management.
Anybody else?

ugh, this post is so annoying. right. ram management on android... the more you use, the better your phone is. 4.4gb out of 6gb is not bad. if you have the 8gb oneplus 6, it uses around 5.5gb idle. when you have more ram, you can use more of it. no point having 6gb of ram and only having 2gb at idle

These kind of comments... smh
Lack of RAM is not going to make your game laggy. Your game lacks optimization. Idle RAM = WASTED RAM. These ratings are pointless if idiotic comments like these are counted.
So I see that the ram management is quite aggressive. Today I switched from chrome to inbox to copy something. And chrome restarted the page and I had to start the form over again. Only clearing opened apps asked me to user it without reading the tab.
As gestures are a bit but I am trying XDA gestures and an early access FluiDN.G. which with fine for a few hours then close and disable the accessibility settings for each app. I have disabled auto power management of both applications and allow them to run in all situations. While this works for longer when opening the camera (worst offender) it shuts down the gesture apps and resets the accessibility settings
Other then that things have been as snappy as the one plus 6.

There's something with emui and accessibility settings. From my experience, on olther devices, I had to reapply the accessibility settings a few times until it stuck. It's a battle of wills between the phone and yourself.
As for gestures, I think I'm gonna go with the setup on my current device: oneplus gestures and edge gestures. Those two apps are so amazing when it comes to customizing your gestures. Just hope on android 9 I can still disable the nav keys. Although I have a feeling the phone's gonna be a pain to use without nav key, especially while typing.

Same it's stabilized a little bit. Not sure what the AI power management is doing but maybe it's noticing trends after some use. Still using the camera from time to time makes both XDA gestures and the other nav app stop working
Agree. Ram management is a bit aggressive, hope it will better soon
Ram has taken a turn for the worst today. It's closing Spotify! While playing music. Can't even switch to the last recent app. I'm a power user and developer so I know how to tweak the settings how is a regular user supposed to use this

So far none. It just started happening a few hours ago. When the system goes under stress - taking phonecall then trying to message people across 2 different apps and signal changing from WiFi and authenticating VPN then proof - my gesture app gets killed (been fine all day and exempt from all power optimisation) and Spotify gets killed even if it was the last app like instantly.
I'll see if I can dig deeper this weekend. Literally a little polish on the software would make this the best phone I've ever used. Right now it's the worst.
I have a Huawei m5 8 inch tablet with 4gb ram and it manages memory fine. Never had to tweak battery optimisations in the 9 months I've had it.
I hope they fix it before my 30 day cool off. Or this will be the second Huawei I return. The Nexus 6p was stellar (I know Google did the software end to end)
If I can get some advice access to some logs I can maybe find when and where they are killing the apps - maybe there's a memory leak. With 6gb ram I would have though you leave at least 1gb guaranteed to the last 4-5 recent app.
UPDATE: just a thought it might be the smart resolution causing apps to redraw. I've switched off smart resolution now. And switched on 720p fixed. Will test it over next day or so
UPDATE 2: After setting to fixed 720p signs are positive... Now I can go back 20 apps on the recents screen and they all do not redraw or reload. I think there may be a bug in the smart resolution. It's been 30 minutes and I just reopened an app that was open last in recently 30 mins ago. Try this and see if it works too.

Can you please let me know if OnePlus Gestures and Edge Gestures apps work fluidly in the mate 20 pro? I haven't purchased them yet but others gesture app I've purchased had compatibility issues with samsung phones, similar to issues some users were having with mate 20 pro and third party launcher, the gestures did work, but with a 2-3 second delay to go home. If you can confirm OnePlus Gestures and Edge Gestures work as fast as native mate 20 pro gestures I'll buy those apps.

Sorry. After all the issues and head aches the Mate was giving people, I cancelled my preorder and went and bought the Note 9. Best decision I ever made (when it comes to phone purchases that is). So I won't be able to help you out.
But those two apps worked flawlessly on the LG G7 and now I only installed Edge Gestures on the Note 9 and it works without a hiccup.
Anyway, I think those apps have free versions, no?

I couldn't find free versions but I ended up purchasing them and they work good on my Note 9 but haven't tried them in the Mate 20 Pro. I'm actually switching from Note 9 to Mate 20 Pro but I'd say the best gesture app for Samsung phones is One Hand Operation+, you have to download goodlock first from galaxy store, then it'll let you install one hand operation+, I'd suggest you try it if you have a chance
Not using smart resolution and locking the resolution to 1080 solved 80% of my ram problems... Haha as in you dont see the app rendering when switching between. I guess its a bug with different apps different resolutions therefore re-rendering upon switching... Suggest you guys try it...

Yeah been half a day and no app crashes minimal reloading of apps. I'm at home today so battery drain is less anyways. I also turned off automatically manage all apps. That seems to contribute to aggressive killing.
What resolution you at? I'm trying 720p it still looks nice and crisp just can't play 1080 videos. Might switch back up to 1080 or QHD and see the battery difference.

No issue here. Used it for 8+ hours straight. I have it all set to manage manually. Spotify can't autolaunch but allowed to remain in background
