Since installing the latest O2 ROM upgrade I found two problems:
1. Alarms and timers (chronos, spb time) don't wake up the machine. I need this feature and this a major problem for me, surely must be also an issue for others.
2. I don't want the battery icon on the top bar, I want just the clock.
Does anyone knows a trick to change for the better any of those, please?
Thanks, Gonz
1) u can install 3rd party Alarm Softwares.
2) search the forum, there is a solution

Really?
Care to post a link? Everything I've read says there is no solution yet.
Look in your startup folder, there is a file that activates the battery icon (I can't rremember what it is called and I don't have it anymore, but I seem to remember it's obvious when you see it).
Delete it (or copy to another safe location) and your battery icon will no longer appear.
OK, it seems my problems are not so simple to solve, after all.
These are the files in my startup folder:
sddaemon, services, theme refresh and voice command.
Could you tell me which one to delete to get rid of the battery icon please?
Uhm…, and what about the problem of timers and alarms failing to wake up the device? Do we have to use the dull Microsoft application?
Thanks

hdubli,
I do have lots of third party software for this purpose and they all fail with the exec wm5, something that did not happen on my xda 2i with any of them.
If you please care to be more explicit with the solutions, I am sure several here would appreciate it.
Thanks, gonz

For your alarm problem, check out pTravelAlarm
http://www.burroak.on.ca/wm2005.html
You are looking for version 2.6.0, which is for WM5 - their site claims that it's a trial version, but I've found it to be faultless, even after applying latest O2 ROM.
It's not free and I can't promise it'll work for you, but it's worth a shot.
If I can't leave my Exec plugged into mains overnight, I disable the "Turn device off after..." in Power Settings and it hasn't failed to wake me up yet.
Its volume control isn't linked to your device's, and it's loud enough to put the fear of God in you...[/code]
I am having a similar problem. What you guys dont seem to understand, is, even if there was a $1000 3rd party alarm software, it will be of no use when the phone refuses to wake up.
The problem we have is not of the alarm software, but the simple problem of the phone not waking up, e.g. from standby to ON.
Can someone shed some light on this issue.
Thank You
This forum has not resolved the issue of the battery, hunders if not thousands of people are awaiting some miraculous fix for this. the only thing I know to work is using wizbar to reskin the title bar.
in relation to alarms, sorry, i know the wm5 is a problem. though, the inbuilt alarms that i have used on the device do wake the device up.
the other thing you can try is, dont turn it off, dont allow the system to turn it off after a period of time, and just close the device without turning off.
it will drain a little bit more power, i think approximately 15% over the night than what it would otherwise draing, but if it is plugged in, then it wont drain at all and will ensure the device wakes up.
thanks, it is probably rom related since u report that your device does wake up. Can you tell me what rom version u are using? Thanks

Many thanks, I did try not to switch it off and it works!, even the timers!
my rom is in my signature, unlike yours.
what i was saying was it wakes it up from its sleep, but not its off state.
just closing the clam was sufficient to preserve battery, especially given that at night its always charged. even during the day, i rarely turn it off. i just close the device and let it rest....
Why is the "turn off device if not used for" alway
Does anybody know how to prevent the system from ticking this box every time?
My machine does it on its own, yes, it does, sometimes even after changing from landscaping view to normal.
So, the advice of not turning it off to make the alarms work is OK, but needs constant rechecking that the box remains unticked!!

I would look at your other software that may be enforcing this as it has never happened to me, nor have I read about it.

If you mean Windows\Startup, I have sddaemon, O2 UI Refresh and poutlook.
I have moved them all out (startup folder is empty) and still no luck.

My suggestion unrelated to your problem is to keep "sddaemon.lnk" out of the "start up" folder. If you haven't noticed yet, if you keep sddaemon on the start up folder, after performing a soft reset this file is duplicated under "Notifications" taking up your precious memory and slowing down your machine. You can check it if you have a program that cleans your Notification Que such as "Scary Bear's Check Notification" (freeware).
For the alarm one, does anyone tried using PocketWakeup? The original one is in French, but there is an English version too. Google for it and see if it works on the universal.

Can't think of anything in my PDA that will have that need or ability, it is not an option I've noticed in any program before, but thanks anyway. I'll search around, there must be a solution somewhere :wink:

you could try reflashing your rom as you are on the older version.

I got the latest, just haven't updated my profile. I found it! It was Phone Alarm, changed to PocketZen and everything is finally OK :wink:
I have had problems with my phone sometimes refusing to sleep, causing my battery to drain..
today I think I found the culprit. Seems to be the stock email application that is the problem. After I stopped this the phone goes to sleep again.
Can anyone experiencing this problem verify? It could of course be other applications also.
I think I read something about a Samsung Email application. Is this available somewhere? For 2.1?
firstable you didn't tell us which app was the cause.
So which app was it?
I had something similar, but i knew because i ticked the option to stay on, problem is even after i exited the software, the phone remained on.
it was a bug in wifi scanner app on android market
so after going back in and ticked it off again, then the phone was able to go to sleep properly.
Samsung push email and IM come stock, it can be installed by going into Samsung App icon in your phone

BTW. I don't have any email applications in Samsung Apps
So what other email application with exchange sync is recommended?
odd, you should have it
the next best thing is TouchDown 2.0 but it's paid software
maybe some one can upload the samsung APK for the mail push and IM for you.
in the Apps section of the site, some one uploaded the full APK of all samsung apps
see if you can find the topic
if only there's an app in the market showing what's causing the phone not to sleep in details.
searched everywhere to no avail ):

JM7/8 + Voodoo and using WiFi causes the phone not to sleep.
What firmware do you have?
JM8 + Voodoo.. but when I killed the email application, the phone started to sleep again.. I haven't dared to start email since It's still sleeping when it should.

what power plan do you use?
It's a known problem with WhatsApp, Telegram and other apps that heavily depend on GCM to deliver push notifications. From what I've heard so far, it looks like the Smart battery profile might be somehow broken. Have you noticed this behaviour with other profiles as well?

Yeah, I tested it too. With Smart profile on, notifications are definitely broken, while I encountered no problem at all with Performance, and often you save only 30 mins of battery life anyway.
Beware, if you restart or turn off/on your P9 Lite, the Smart profile will be automatically enabled. The same thing happens if you use the Optimise function.
Seems pretty silly to me, hopefully they'll fix it.

You need to go in wifi setting and select always keep wifi on. Also add whatsapp in ignore battery optimization and there is a setting in developer option related to this. I can't remember it. I hope this will solve the issue.

Try to convert whatsapp and other needed apps to "system apps". YOu can use app like Apps2SD to do this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd&hl=en
If apps are "user apps" EMUI kills app if screen is off, but it doesn't do this for "system apps".
Hi,
i cant believe this!
I never seen this happend on other devices.
Why android do this if it set the power settings for whatsapp and co ?
So every user with this device have this problem?
What cause this?
So i have to set every internet app for this device to system app?
Not true or?
Or is it a bug inside this android 7 version from huawei ?

It's a knowed issue for some users.
Be sure that for each apps with notifications wanted (social apps, mail apps with wakelock/sync) you put the apps with the mode "Not restricted" for be sure app in background is not shutdown by system.
Long press on a apps icon > "!" symbol (App Info) > Battery > Unrestricted (instead Optimized)
Be sure also to do not have magisk module (like GMS Doze) or "optimize" apps (like cleaner apps) refresh/wipe cache in background

On the last NOS 1.1.6 first time you launch app you have a question "authorized notifications" YES/BLOCK"
Be sure in App Infos to also check Notifications settings.
After that if you factory reset, test during 1 day if the problem is back just with your minimal apps installed, always with unrestricted for social/sync apps.
i have 35 apps installed, not a single crappy optimizer in the background so i dont think that i overload my phone.
i dont think that it is my fault that the notifications dont arrive on time, i think that googles power plan and others like samsungs and oneplus power plans are sh*t!

Did you by any chance restore your apps with data via Swift/Titanium backup? It is the common culprit for late arrival of push messages (Gmail, Whatsapp,..) - fix is quite simple https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...s-after-titanium-backup-data-restore.4001959/.
Btw. Gmail push messages have lower priority, so they show up only when the phone is not deep sleeping, or during regular scheduled checks when deep sleeping. Chats like Whatsapp are using priority channel, so they are delivered instantly. Priority of push notifications is set by developers, so there is nothing you can do to raise their urgency.

Google introduced new settings you cannot edit without ether root or a custom rom, that means ALL versions from android 10 to Android 13 from Vendors have the same problem with battery savings on apps, you cannot fix this without root or installing a custom OS.
If you did not know this then you are new to android.
