16.1.6 Why can't I install some apps and why does my phone 
prompt "repeated permissions"? 

The repeated permissions function is used by the Android 5.0 system to restrict third-party 
apps in customized permissions, thereby standardizing the permission app of apps and 
protecting data security of users. The Android 5.0 system checks the applied permissions 
when you install apps. If the new apps apply for the permissions customized by other apps 
and the signatures are different, the system prompts for repeated permissions and exits the 
installation. Huawei will try to promote the app developers to rectify the design to avoid 
security risks.

 

16.1.7 Why is a third-party app still running after I close all the 
apps at the touch of a button? 

1.

 

Go to 

Settings 

> 

Manage apps 

> 

Running

. Select the corresponding app and forcibly 

stop it.   

2.

 

You can also open the application and exit it. 

16.1.8 Why do I have to delete the pre-installed application twice 
and why does my phone always display a message telling me that 
the application can't be deleted at the first time? 

The pre-installed application and its updates are not saved in the same directory. When you 
delete the application for the first time, you have only deleted its updates and the application 
icon will appear on the home screen again. If the application can't be uninstalled, your phone 
will display a message telling you that the application can't be deleted at the second time.

 

16.1.9 What can I do if the third-party application can't access my 
location? 

To solve this problem:

 

1.

 

Go to 

Settings

 > 

Location access

 and turn on 

Access my location

. 

2.

 

Go to 

Settings

 > 

Permission manager

 > 

Access location info

 and set the permission of 

the application to 

Allow

. 

16.1.10 Why isn't the system font size applicable to the third-party 
application? 

You can set the font size in the settings menu of the third-party application.

 

16.1.11 What can I do if there isn't a pop-up window for a new 
SMS when I am using an application? 

On the 

Messaging

 screen, touch the menu icon then 

Settings

, and select 

Notification

.
