Android start as a service

Hi,

I've installed this on my son's tablet to keep an eye on his tablet but it doesn't seem to start up automatically. I have to launch the application manually. My son's tablet is a Lenovo Yoga 3 Plus running Android v 6.0.1.

Is there a way to get the Host app to launch automatically at startup in the background? I'm happy to make it "Admin" if necessary. Also, I've installed the Lenovo Addon to enable remote screen viewing.

I am Android user and my comments and suggestions applies only to Android related apps ,system and users.

As many users having this problem to remote access host app, I am facing same problem as well. Seems like the issue exist for many years now accordind to older comments on this and other posts as well, as my personal experience.

Everthing started few years ago when newer android systems requires to unlock the phone to load all non priority apps. On first boot only few system apps/services are going to start such phone, messaging and some messenger apps(in my case WhatsApp).

My question is , is it not possible Team viewer Host app to be added to these start up apps with high privileges to be able to run at start Before unlock the phone with password/pattern. If I am unable to access and unlock remote device remotely what is point of having this App?

I do have Work around for my needs but this is not How is supposed to be. For anyone here using Android devices :1with this issue I can suggest to try this if they are happy with that

Remove your screen lock password from remote device .- this will let all needed apps/services to start . If you really need to have lockscreen password you can use third party screen lock app from play store ,that will not blocking other apps from loading.
Allow all permissions for Host app, also set battery optimization to don't optimize
Set a messenger app (I use WhatsApp) or if you have Sim card on your remote device may do the job. - this is because even without lockscreen password if phone goes idle/sleep you need to wake the phone up by making a voice call(sending message doesn't work for me)
Now when you have all these 3 steps done you can go ahead and send a teamviever remote control request and while trying to conect you need to wake the remote device by making a voice call and hang up. Return to team viever app and voila you should have access to your remote device.

Hope my work around will be useful for some people here. And will be looking ahead for TeamViewer team to sort this issue as soon as possible. Have a nave day all :)

I just installed all the latest TeamViewer apps on my brand new BlackView BV9100 and the Host app still doesn't start by default. It requires the owner of the phone to start the app manually. What is the problem here? Why can't TeamViewer answer the question about how to make this work? This is the primary function of their highly touted Host app, right?

I have disabled Battery Optimization for all the TeamView apps, including the add-on, and allowed them all the permissions they request. I restart the phone, and the phone shows as Offline continuously in TeamViewer management console.

Thank you for any help.

Our company has the same issue with Vodafone VFD 620. We have more than 100 o them and a well paid TV licence.

It seems that the service is not firing up on boot. After the first manual launch, the unattender connection will work smoothly, but after reboot, we have same problem again.

We have removed Host app (and add-on) from the battery optimization program, also we have allowed to use the network without restriction while in background. Nothing helps. (our model asks for Alcatel(H) add-on)

Hello, good afternoon, I tried to download TeamViewer from Google Play and I didn't have any problem with the download, installation or use of the application. Everything's working fine. Greetings and thanks.

The Solution is quiet simple:

Android Oreo 8.0/8.1:
Go to Settings -> Apps -> Select "Host" App
Select "Batterie optimization"
Select "Host" App and deactivate optimization.

That's all

Sascha

Don't worry, I am also using the Lenovo Yoga and it's working pretty fine for me after updating the client to the latest version and make sure you have allowed necessary permissions to the app while installing/configuring.

Find out the updated and latest version above.

This will wipe your beginning and end data like messages, phone memory, contacts, applications. change IMEI number without root Thusly, you should need to fortification your device and after that you can restore it.

I was not able to get Host to autostart on a Lenovo Tab 4 upon reboot. It required a manual start on the device, which eliminates the 'unattended access' benefit of this app. It worked previously on other Android tablets.

Using the recomendations of community posts, I was still unable to get Host to start as a Service, until yesterday. After a bunch of testing, I stumbled accross my problem, perhaps it is is your as well.

It turns out that Android 7 introduced new 'Configure Apps' options. After turning 'On' Host under 'Background App Refresh' it automatically starts on boot up again, thus solving my problem. To find this setting go to -->Setting-->Apps-->top right corner tap the little setting gear-->Background App Refresh-->turn on Host app.

Note; this is Android 7 specific. Good luck, hope this helps...

I resolved this in 2 ways.

First, I was using the old Samsung Host app which is no longer needed on Samsung devices. I started using Host for Android app which is the recommended app.

Second, if you are using an older version of TeamViewer it will not support the standby mode of the host app. It is not supported in 11, so when the mobile device is in standby it just shows as offline and you can't connect. I can't speak for v12. It is supported in v13 and all of my devices show as standby. When I try to connect it initiates the app on the device and comes online and connects.

I just ran into this problem on a Motorola phone running 7.1.....it would not start running after a reboot no matter what i tried........after looking at the install package (permisions dats STORAGE) i noticed it got installed to the External SD Card ( I have a 32gig u3 card in "Adopted" mode) as soon as i moved it the Phone memory it works properly.

Hi Ricardo,

This is the version I'm referring to. I've installed the "Host" version, set it up but it fails to startup. I'm using it on 2 x Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus YT-X703F tablets
