Quick settings tiles greyed out after a while..

I just noticed that my original screenshot does show the parking reminder. Sorry for my incorrect statement.
I only added the parking reminder at the time to try it out.

Thanks for the info.
I will try to find a solution, but as of now I can't reproduce this.

I have 4 phones here and on all phones sadly this does not happen.
So it is hard to find the cause.

I have just installed 3.7.7.2 (688) from Play Store, performed a restart and the tile is back and working.

chrisonline

OK so let us see if this still working in a few days.

gjddjus

Sadly it just happened again...

chrisonline

Do you use any cleaner apps who are killing apps or clearing caches or something?
Because I use the tiles now also on my main phone and the problem is as of today not there.

And do you add often new reminders or do you open the app COL Reminder very rare?

gjddjus

No, I do not use any cleaner app or something like this. Also don't clear caches manually.
I add new reminder few times a day, but open rhe app itself very seldom.
Btw, the tile doesn't come back to life although I had a few restarts, January Pixel update, addee new reminders and opened the app itself a few times.

Suddenly the tile is back...

chrisonline

This is so strange. I don't know whats going on here.
The tile is really a simple register in the system. There is no service or anything else.

I hope I can find the problem soon.

Hi, I just stumbled upon this post while researching the issue myself. We were getting similar reports and I was just as confused as you @chrisonline as we only register the tiles without any added complexity. I spent a good amount of hours today and I seem to have been able to fix it by using a Receiver that listens for the BOOT_COMPLETED and USER_UNLOCKED events which will then update the tiles, making them available again. I suspect this is related to changes in Android 16s boot sequence as we didn't have this issue before.

I will add the PR in our repository and the relevant issue comment below. Feel free to remove this comment and/or mask the links if it's considered spam or self-promotion which understandably are probably against your rules. I just felt like sharing this with you so you don't waste hours of your time trying to fix this issue.
