Binance App Permission Denied on ColorOS 13 / 14

OPPO's ColorOS 13 / 14 system enforces strict permission controls on apps. Newly installed Binance apps often have their requests for camera, storage, and location automatically rejected, which leads to KYC photo failures and document upload errors. This note provides the solutions. To download the APK, visit the Binance Official Website or the Binance Official App; for iPhone installation, check the iOS installation tutorial.

Characteristics of ColorOS Permission Controls

Differences between ColorOS and stock Android:

• By default, it strictly reviews apps not listed on the OPPO App Market.
• The default option on permission request pop-ups is "Deny".
• Certain sensitive permissions (location, microphone) require secondary confirmation.
• "App Guard" continuously monitors permission calls and triggers frequent prompts.

Typical Binance behavior on ColorOS:

• When starting KYC for the first time, camera permissions are denied by default.
• When uploading ID photos, storage permissions are rejected.
• Price alert pop-up permissions are restricted.

Proactive Authorization Steps

Do not wait for the app to prompt for permissions; proactively grant all necessary permissions in the settings:

1. Settings → App Management (or Apps & Services)
2. Find Binance
3. Tap "Permissions"
4. Set the following permissions to "Allow" or "Allow only while using the app" in the list:
   • Camera
   • Storage / Media files
   • Notifications
   • Location (Optional)
   • Microphone (Optional)
5. Save

Once pre-authorized, the app will no longer trigger blocking when launched.

Handling "App Guard"

ColorOS App Guard settings:

1. Settings → Security → App Security Check
2. Select "Turn off" or "Check only" (do not block)
3. Manually add Binance to the "Trusted List"

After turning off App Guard, permission pop-ups will decrease, but risks will increase. It is recommended to turn it off once to install Binance and then turn it back on.

Auto-Launch and Background Operation

By default, ColorOS does not allow newly installed apps to run in the background:

• Settings → Battery → "Power Saving Mode"
• "App Quick Freeze" list → Remove Binance (it is in the list by default)
• Dedicated "Auto-Launch Management" → Allow Binance to auto-launch

Once background behaviors are enabled, Binance's push notifications and background data syncing for K-line charts will work normally.

Special Settings for "Network Control"

ColorOS 13+ introduced "Network Control":

• Settings → Mobile Network → Network Control
• Check the list to see which apps are restricted from accessing the network.

Binance is set to "Allow Wi-Fi and Mobile Data" by default. If your version disables mobile data for certain apps by default, you may be unable to use Binance on 4G/5G. Please verify this setting.

Notification Settings

Notification management path in ColorOS:

1. Settings → Notifications & Status Bar
2. "App Notifications"
3. Find Binance → Ensure the "All Notifications" switch is turned on
4. Turn on "Lock Screen Notifications" as well

Some versions default app notifications to "Gentle Reminders," which mutes price alerts. Change this to "Display Banners."

"Kids Space" and "Guest Mode"

If you have enabled Kids Space on ColorOS, Binance is unavailable within it by default. Guest mode also restricts financial apps. Solutions:

• Do not install Binance in Kids Space.
• Or, temporarily allow it in the Kids Space settings.

Differences Between "Find X Series" and "A Series"

Differences when running ColorOS on OPPO flagship (Find X) vs. budget/mid-range (A series) devices:

Dimension	Find X Series	A Series
Launch Speed	Fast	Medium
Background Keep-Alive	Good	Medium
Push Notification Reach	High	Medium
App Guard Intensity	Standard	Stronger

The Binance experience on low-end devices is generally worse, partly due to chip performance limits and partly because ColorOS uses more aggressive power-saving strategies on low-end phones.

The Special Case of OnePlus

After OnePlus switched from OxygenOS to ColorOS (in 2022), permission management became identical. However, older OxygenOS models have more lenient permissions:

• Before OxygenOS 13: Relatively lenient
• OxygenOS 13 (based on ColorOS): Similar to ColorOS
• OxygenOS 14: Fully merged, behavior is essentially identical

OnePlus users can refer to the same ColorOS settings.

Special Handling for App Crashes on Startup

Occasional Binance crashes upon startup on ColorOS could be caused by:

• App Guard intercepting the launch
• Permissions being denied, causing initialization failure
• ColorOS 14 memory optimization mistakenly terminating the app

Solutions:

• Grant all permissions completely
• Add Binance to the "Keep in Memory" list
• Update the system to the latest patch

Long-Term Usage Configuration

Setting	Recommended Value
Auto-Launch	Allow
Background Running	Allow
Network	Wi-Fi + Mobile Data
Notification Style	Banners
Background Freeze	Do not freeze
App Guard	Trust Binance

With this configuration, the Binance experience on ColorOS is close to stock Android.
