WLAN Whatsapp notification Problem *solved*

Hey Guys,
I have a problem with my N4 which is making me crazy and i don't know what to do:
When i am at home and my phone has WLAN, most of the times whatsapp massages are not arriving anymore!
As soon as is get the phone out of sleep they are arriving in an insant!
WLAN deactiviation when sleep is off and even wlan optimization is off too
I had an iphone before and never had these problems here...
So what to do? I even flashed factory image again and started all new without anything else but whatsapp installed but it didn't help!
Thanks for your help :good:
From what I read this only happens on the stock firmware. I'm on CM10.1 and don't have the issue.
I had a similar issues on my Galaxy Nexus.
What helped at first was downloading and installing his widget posted in the OP of this thread. The WIFi High performance Widget.

If that's the case it's kernel related.
Big thread on it in the 'nexus 4 general' section, it's annoying many of us. Make sure to follow the link and make your complaint known to google too.
A workaround is to set wifi to turn off in sleep mode and have 2g (more battery friendly) on to pick up notifications, to wake the phone up.
Used to happen more often, but after I flashed PA, I don't have this issue anymore on 3G, on WiFi sometimes..

Yh Im having the same problem since I updated to 4.2.2.. When I first had my device and it was on 4.2.1 there were also delays but then somehow, (maybe because I rooted it?) the problem went away.
Great guys thank you very much!!!!!
I just installed the fix and it seems to work fine right now :good:

That's why it is in the sticky, could you imagine if every issue with someone's vs980 got posted here? You would have to read through many pages just to reach a specific ROM thread you were looking for.

Switch all location services off in settings. ie untick both gps satellites and wifi location. Then power off, reboot and switch them all on again. Use gps test (chartcross) to see if you can get a lock.
You can also reset agps data if it remains slow to lock.

I already tried all tips I'v found (FasterFix, manual update of gps.conf, A-GPS Reset/forced update, power off, reboot, using GPS Status and GPS Test). Getting a stable GPS lock is very funny.
As other, my GPS lock is not locking properly. When I get it, I lost it on the road without any reason...

I was wondering what stock ROM but that's fine.
Please check the thread attached and make sure you do a backup.
If not I'm wondering if you have a hardware issue.
Thanks but this fix was not helping me...
So, I decided to disassembly the G2.
I solved my GPS problem by adding some alumium on the GPS antenna. Opening the G2 back cover is very easy (see video on youtube).
Before I was getting a GPS Lock on 0 sat (20 in view).
Now, I'm getting a GPS Lock on ~8 sat !!!
My girl friend was able to use her G2 while driving ~40km without any lost of GPS. It was impossible before "my fix".
Does the baseband and radio/modem and that stuff affect the GPS?
I'm also having difficulty get a lock on
Curious fix - squeeze the top right corner of the phone and see if you get a lock on!

[Q] Knock-On/GPS Signal

Hi mates,
Got the G2 few weeks ago, and i got few problems:
1. Knock-on doesn't work anymore when i try to open the screen. I'm on KitKat 4.4.2 and using Nova Launcher Prime if it matters.
2. When i'm trying to navigate using Waze, I can't have GPS signal - It says something like Go Outdoors, Using Approximate Location and so and so.
How do i solve these up there?
Thanks
Does Knock-On work with the stock, LG launcher?
I'm assuming you've already checked location settings for Waze to have this on "high accuracy" for GPS settings, right?

It doesn't. And yeah i already checked the location settings. All seems to be fine but actually it just doesn't work right
Gps is terrible on the g2, i had mine RMA back to LG UK, and apprantly they have fixed it! well i still dont get GPS indoors and most i ever get is 5m accuracy, not ideal for running or cycling.
apprantly it is a hardward fault but after some googling it seems kitkat doesnt agree one hundred percent on the gps module , jellybean was suppose to work flawlessy with gps.

Your screen may have a dead spot. I had the same issue, and there's a really long thread on the forums about that.

Except for the knock-on issue, none of these apply to me.
Edit: after installing cloudyg3 the problem is gone. Let's hope that solved also the waze thing

No wifi again after disabling it

Hey guys!
I´m facing a really annoying problem and i´m afraid it could be hardware related...
First of all, i didn´t use the 6p as my main phone so i cannot say since when this problem persists.
I wondered about this: i was connected to my wifi network. After sometime i looked at the phone - it was disconnected from the ap. I tried to re-enable it but no luck, just a restart brings it back. Used omni and thought, okay...might be an aosp thing.
Just installed CM (everything included, baseband, radio, vendor) - if i disable wifi and wanting to enable it again, i don´t get any access to my ap. If i restart the phone it´s there.
Please take a look at the video i made to show this problem. https://youtu.be/STUeUdZ3WyY
Thanks in advance!
Ummm... Nobody? :/
Okay, solved. Thread can be closed.

Vibration intensity bug

Hi all,
About two months ago I had a problems with my notifications, they suddenly stopped vibrating when one came through, this applied to both the loud and vibrate profiles, although phone calls vibrated it was just the notifications.... roll on a month later and it started happening again!
I totally forgot the settings I changed to fix the issue previously so over the last week or so I've been checking what could be the cause, I then found the culprit, for some reason the vibration intensity for notifications was set to zero, why this was set I don't know.
I've tried to replicate this problem by changing the sound profiles to see if the vibration intensity will go back to zero and it hasn't, I've manually enabled D.N.D that doesn't change it, therefore I'm puzzled what has caused this to change by itself, any ideas?
Very same issue dude, S7. Did you find a fix ?

I never did; it's happened several times since, normally about a month apart, at least I know how to fix it now. I'm running the nougat beta atm so will be interesting to see if it happens in this.

Do you know if this still happens on 7.0 or any other strange bugs showing up ?

That's good. I'm still holding off on 7.0 marshmallow is running smooth for me and can't find a good enough reason for update. They should have included the Google assistant.
