Data service issues

I'm not getting any WhatsApp messages unless I turn my screen on for a few seconds then they all come in. Any ideas what this is?

Are you on WiFi? If you are, there's a wifi delay bug.

Ya I know about that. That isn't the issue. Also, when I am on WiFi and leave home my cellular network doesn't connect sometimes once I disconnect form wifi

Data and wifi third-party management not working

Running stock rooted touchwiz on canadian SGH-I337M and neither Juicedefender nor Greenpower can shut down wifi or data when the screen goes off so i guess it is a rom problem. Any idea guys?
Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk 4
Just to specify i tried alternative methods to manage data as provided in the apps themselves (renaming apn) to no avail. Any help will be appreciated as i miss those features from my SII days

Wifi and data switch off randomly.

Have noticed about once a day at random times, my wifi and data signal will disappear when using the phone. I have to switch airplane mode on and back off to get my connections back. Not a major Issue, but slightly annoying.
Anyone else have this problem or know the cause?

I'm having an issue where my wifi icon disappears but I'm still connected to wifi. Also, the toggle is grayed out. Pretty annoying. I'm on the Sprint GS5.

The toggle is greyed out on mine too and cannot switch it back on. The only difference is that I loose wifi and network connection. Mine is o2 UK unbranded handset.
Update: my connections are still active when this happens.

I'm getting the same thing here, the data and wifi icons occasionally disappear and the wifi toggle goes dark (as if it's not connected), but I'm still connected and get data just fine.
Do you reckon this is a hardware or software fault?

I did install adblock (unrooted) for about 30 minutes and then removed it when I first got my phone. Not sure if the problem started before or after.

Its not problem adaway. I test it.
Would be nice to find out the reason why this is happening.

It didn't happen yesterday so will wait for next samsung update and see if that solves the problem. Unless it gets worse then I will factory reset.
update : shortly after I posted this it happened again so I tested the connection and I was still connected to wifi.

Okay...
Did you find any working ADBLOCKER for non-rooted G900F ?

No, I stopped looking as I think they only work properly if your rooted.

What's the best way to perform a factory reset?
Update: Just performed a full factory restore. Will let you know how I get on.

Unlock the phone after rebbot: why password AND fingerprint?

Hi
I would like to only use my fingerprint same with previous model. But with the S7, each time I switch off/on the phone, I am first prompted to enter a password, then the fingerprint will work till the next switch off/reboot. Is there a way to take rid of that password? I would like it to be prompted only in case fingerprint does not work.
Thanks
Phil
Marshmallow feature I believe. Nexus 6P does the same.

I think this is for extra security when the device has been switched off. I don't see a problem with entering your password once every restart, it takes a few seconds.

Yes it does.

Galaxy S5 does the same thing on custom Marshmallow ROMs
Thx guys! So, new android feature... Cheers

Yup. This actually good. As a tech you'd be surprised how many people forgot those passwords.

NFC problems

The phone is turning NFC by itself, I've had 3 Gs7 edge's and the 3 have done the same. Anyone else having the same problem?
