I have a tmobile Samsung Galaxy s4. It is not rooted. I have it updated to the latest update.
Whenever I keep the phone on wifi and the screen is off, I don't receive a notification if I get an email, snapchat, whatsapp message, groupme message, or anything. So pretty much, it seems that after I put the phone down, it isn't syncing any of the applications. This happens only on Wifi. I've messed with my router but there was nothing i could do to fix it. I have a linksys router.
This is a big problem for me because I don't want to use up all the data on my phone by turning off the wifi.
The "Keep wifi on during sleep" is on always and has been like that forever. Does anyone else have this issue or know what to do? Thanks in advance.

Hello! I have some annoying problems with wifi.
1. Sometimes network that i want to connect to, is simply listed as "Not in range". Turning wifi off and on usually fix that.
2. Sometimes network is detected, but phone won't automatically connect to it (it will just show Remembered at the network and disconnected at the top). I have to manually click on the network and select Connect. After that phone will eventually connect to the network, but it will take much longer than normal.
These issues are resolvable manually, but it's annoying. I want my phone to automatically connect after i just turn on wifi.
Any ideas, what could be wrong? Does maybe have to do something with SuperPower program that i have installed?
My specs are in the signature. Similar issues were also happening with RAFDROID HD 1.0 and darkstone's Froyo SuperRAM.
3. Sometimes when browsing the web or watching youtube videos, phone will simply disconnect and one of the above issues will occur. So no automatic reconnect.
Also i forgot to mention that in issue 1, phone don't see any network, not just mine.
Please help, it's very annoying.
Bump. Anyone?
This issue is annoying as i have to reboot my phone frequently to fix this.
Hi all!
I have an international version of the S3 with a weird problem.
When I have Wifi connected my phone can't sign in to Google talk and wont receive notifications. I can browse and download stuff though.
If i switch to 3G all is well and working. I have tested on different networks and I have a galaxy tab 10.1 connected to the same wifi without problems so it's no ports in the firewall that's causing it.
If I restart the phone it works for about a day then it fails again and I have to restart the phone to get G-talk over wifi.
I have tried setting the phone a static IP, switched "Keep wifi on during sleep" on and off, tried the trick with power saving in debug menu but nothing helps.
Has anyone experienced the same and can someone maybe suggest a fix?
Best regards
Erik
Alright, this is a frustrating issue that I've been having since day 1 with WhatsApp, and it's not even just SGS4, but with my old SGS too.
Problem:
Phone screen turns off while on WIFI, after a while of inactivity, WIFI still seems to run, but WhatsApp lost connection and takes a long time to reconnect, and usually requires a full restart of WIFI.
This does not happen on 3G for me, it only happens when WIFI is active.
Things tried:
- Turn off 3G entirely, so it only runs on WIFI.
- Reinstall WA
- Restart phone.
- Do a clean install of firmware (on my old SGS).
- Test it out on new phone~ (Brand new SGS4 i9505)
I don't know what's causing this, can anyone please help me figure this out? Let me know if you need more info.
is your router set to "always connected" or does it disconnect after sometime if no data comes in?
maybe i'm wrong but if it's only a wifi problem you maybe should look into your router settings.

Already looked into that.
Weird part is that Skype stays connected perfectly fine, but WhatsApp never does.
Please search a bit, this has been answered just a day ago.

[Q] WhatsApp Issues on GS4
I have an up to date rooted 6P and I've noticed that when wifi is on, I'm not receiving notifications and sync is VERY slow. It'll look like the app in use is frozen. For example, while testing I would send an email to myself from another mail app to my gmail. The outgoing message would never send. As soon as I switch wifi off, it instantly sends. If Wifi is on, I won't get notifications, but as soon as I switch it off, I"m flooded with all of the ones I should have been getting.
I have other android phones laying around connected to my wifi and they get notifications, so I'm thinking it's something with the 6P? The only thing I've thought to change about my router is to put it into bridge mode because I'm using it with a U-Verse gateway, although if the router was the issue, you'd think my other devices would have problems as well.
I've googled the issue a lot and have only found posts from back in Nov-Feb about google apps/gmail specifically and it was something google pushed a fix for. This will be any app, gmail, hangouts, facebook messenger, slack, etc.
I appreciate any advice! Phone has been reset, router rebooted, etc already.
I have been experiencing an issue where wifi is not auto connecting to saved networks after being on 4g data. Refreshing the Wifi screen does not bring any results until I switch the wifi off and on several times, and then the relevant networks are shown and DO auto connect. I am rooted with an unlocked bootloader, xposed. This is not new to gaining root, but happened about 10 days after. Has anyone experienced this issue and what did you do to fix it? Any help would be appreciated.
Yeah its happening to me. It doesn't connect and when I go to wifi settings, it looks like it's refreshing but no networks show up. I have to turn it off then back on and it auto connects. I'm fully stock, unrooted. I think a software update can fix that.

Got same issue with A2017G.
How can a phone be released with such defects??? Anybody at ZTE even used the phone 2 or 3 day in a row and didn't noticed that?
I'm having the same problem, I can't get onto the wifi at my work, or at home.
