I noticed a delay with the notifications, I thought that was due to the network. Someone else has trouble.?

Yes, it is a general problem, more or less, of EMUI...
You need to find a way to some application (mail client, whatsapp, skype etc) to remain active after screen is off...
When screen is off, EMUI close applications which consume battery, instead you put it on whitelist...
I notice that problem persist even on EMUI 5.0 on Nougat...

Ah, I thought it was not new year-round and that there is not a network problem.
But, that's quite its the problem, in charge, the notifications happen right away.
But on standby, there is a delay.
Yes, in stand-by appear problem, when screen is off...
When is in charge mode is not need to close the applications, battery is charging, is plenty of power...

hi all,
I've installed a raft of apps in the last few days (perhaps that was foolish) on my sim-free white Hero, and suddently the battery life has gone to pieces. It now won't even last the night *in standby with wifi off*.
Any ideas as to the known battery killers, or any way I can track down which is causing this? I don't really have to want to start removing apps at random and monitoring.
There's nothing particularly unusual in my list of running apps, following a power cycle (is there?):
Shake Awake, NetCounter, AK Notepad, OI Update & Countdown, Tube Status, Battery Widget, BBC News widget, Peep
(although that does raise a separate question: why do things like ShopSavvy, AK Notepad, start at boot, when presumably they're not really doing anything until you use them?)
Of course, I have other things that get started asynchronously, just not at boot, e.g. SMS Popup.
anyone got any ideas, please?
thanks much indeed.

I had the same issue when i put on battery widget, I saw the % going down while watching the phone.
oh! that's ironic
I do get the impression that it's more recent than that, but it could well be, I suppose. I'll remove it and see... thanks.
I've heard that the bbc widget drains the battery.
This is something Google should address with android market. The system should apply various forms of stress testing to all applications and rate them according to connectivity requirements, CPU load, power consumption etc.
I think for people who have a serious drain they need to hard reset and start again, put 1 program on at a time and leave it a day or so with that program on, finding out whats causing the drain.
Logically thinking, i'd expect it to be a program that is using internet in the background, like the bbc widget which could still be downloading without you knowing.
good points, ta.
I already noticed this. I checked the CPU load in idle mode and normally it should be around 10% (using "System Monitor").
Sometimes however, depending on what apps were running, it is increased to 30-40% and staying there constantly.
Closing all apps (incl. Sense) does not help either, the CPU load won't go down again until i make a complete device reset.
So i guess some processes are stuck in thise case causing the high load (and draining the battery empty).
My GPS did not disconnect, after foto geo-tagging, and that goes quick as well.
Also the BBC-app was installed, but got rid of it because I didn't use it. Might be a coincidence.
The BBC app polls really often. There's no setting to tell it how often to poll. It really kills the battery fast
I wonder though: even when the phone is in standby? something is killing me in standby. Oddly, it seems better if the phone is on
I'll try removing the BBC app overnight, and see...
then the battery widget tomorrow, etc...

Turn on usb debugging... download the SDK.. cd into tools.. and run
adb logcat
or to send it to a file:
adb logcat > log.txt
(and ctrl + C to stop logging)
Inspect the log file and you'll see what its upto pretty quickly. Maybe its overkill, but I fire that up when it starts behaving strangly.
EDIT: err to answer your question.. yeah the widgets wake the phone up to grab new data, which eats battery. The BBC news one seems to be polling reallllly often, which is unecesarily using power.
quick update: removed BBC News and Battery Widget (separately), no change; phone still dies overnight, in fact in about 5 hours on standby, from a full battery, to totally dead.
I just this minute discovered that my phone whilst in standby is still polling my IMAP server to try and connect, and I have a huge inbox, which it was prob failing to get the headers for. Seems like a possible bug that it still does this whilst in standby, but I've disabled that account anyway. It might be the cause...
What do you mean by Standby? Just inactive? Airplane Mode?
sorry, poor terminology, perhaps. No, not airplane mode, just the screen-off state it goes into after a few minutes.
It does seem a little bit of a waste, if the phone is going to spend all night checking for new Twitter, Gmail, etc, updates, when I'm not awake to read them? So I'd naively assumed that perhaps it wouldn't do that when it's in the screen-off state. Unless you've asked for notification other than on the top bar, of course?

To be fair, the phone doesn't know when you're going to asleep now does it? (especially if you're a night worker).
I notice that there's an application in the market now which can automatically turn airplane mode on according to a schedule, so that may help but of course this does mean you won't get phone calls!

Dave

No it doesn't but I'm developing a widget which will disable data access at certain times (dependent on user) so overnight it wont use data and save battery.

Right; I really meant the following, but worded it wrongly...
I had expected apps not to do data access when the phone's screen is off, unless they have been configured to notify via sound, vibrate or light.
i.e. if an app either isn't notifying, or is only notifying via the top bar, then it should disable its data access when the screen is off.
That would mean a short delay in getting updates, when the screen is back on, but I'd rather have that than spending much battery time pointless checking for updates when I'm not going to see them for ages, whether that's at night or just when the phone is sitting on the desk for hours.

aha! that sounds great, thanks in advance
would you update us here when you have something testable, please?
and if it's not pushing my luck to ask: any chance that it might also have a manual switch too, for those of us who go to bed at wildly different times?
Or perhaps there is already a way to disable data access manually, with a single setting change, without disabling the phone? I think there might be...
ah yes indeed, there's even an HTC widget to disable mobile networking, whilst leaving phone enabled. That will do for now
Hi everyone!
P8 lite dual sim, MM, b574, no third-party app for battery saving. When I turn it on and I use it, it connects to Internet and works just fine... In my area it's always connected in H or H+, I locked the phone to work in 3G/2G. When in stand by for some minutes minutes, for example 10-20, it often happens I don't receive any notification from gmail/whatsapp/telegram: the moment I unlock the screen I see phone is in 3G/H, then if I open browser/telegram/gmail it goes back to H/H+ and connects to the internet. Looks like it times out and disconnects from the Internet when in stand-by, so I lose notifications from instant messengers and mail . Another way to have telegram synced is to continuously open it or to go into shortcuts and tap to disconnect and reconnect mobile data, but it is frustrating! I have to do the same with gmail and continuously ask for a refresh, but with whatsapp it's even worse: sometimes only if I turn phone off and back on I get all notifications from last hours. Communication sometimes becomes impossible, as it's not "instant" anymore! Of course telegram/whatsapp/gmail are configured as protected apps, so they are running in backgound when phone is in stand by.
What should I do?
Thanks!

This one too. Battery manager settings.
Thanks again! I turned on the option in developer options, the other onese were already on. Unfortunately I'm still having this awful problem, so IM is not Instant anymore... yesterday, for example, I was watching a movie (so phone in standby with mobile data on) when suddenly I receive notifications from whatsapp, two messages written an hour before! I also try to disable developer options, but nothing changed.
Is there anything else I can try (eg. some options with a tweaking program or something like this) before trying to downgrade to lollipop? I've never used this phone with lollipop, the second I turned it on I upgraded to MM
Thanks!!

Go to settings.. apps...advance....ignore battery optimization. And add whatsapp.
I don't think downgrading to android lollipop will solve this issue but you may try it.
Hello!
I'm running a stock Verizon HTC 10 with the latest OTA updates. This phone seems to have a problem with push notifications after it has been "sleeping" or idle for awhile. I don't know exactly what that time period is, but it seems to be about 30 minutes. Once the screen goes black and the phone has been idle in this state for this time period, the phone stops getting (or checking for-however that works) push notifications. There is no blinking LED or sound notification that mail has come for gmail or Outlook. The phone will still answer calls and notify upon receipt of text messages. Usually within a few seconds of turning the screen on from the idle state, the gmail and Outlook notifications come. When the phone screen is on, or within a few minutes of turning the screen off, the push notifications will still come, but then stop.
I googled about this, and there seems to be quite a bit of discussion about it. I have tried the suggested remedies, but they don't work (unsync/sync gmail, clear data/cache for the apps, turn battery optimization off, delete/re-add accounts, along with some others). For work, I have a Samsung Galaxy S7, and it doesn't have this problem. Furthermore, my wife also has an HTC 10, and her phone doesn't seem to have the problem either (although I have not tested it thoroughly).
I've been through various settings, checked the do not disturb settings, but I can't seem to figure this out. I am probably missing some setting. It seems that the phone is going into some deep sleep mode after a period of time and disabling these apps, but keeping others, like the phone and SMS functions, alive.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Are you using power saver mode? What about the boost+ app?
Also a lot of people started having similar issues after the first update to Nougat for U.S Unlocked. Later updates fixed the issue, but it sometimes still happening with Gmail for me.

Hello everyone, I've been running Oreo on my G6 for a couple of days now, and one thing I noticed is that when the screen is off the wifi or data go to sleep too, I mean for example I am not receiving Whatsapp messages unless I turn on the screen and open the app, no matters I left it open in the background. Is it like a new feature of Oreo to save battery while screen is off or something? It really is annoying, I also made sure that "keep wifi on when screen is off" is enabled in the wifi settings, but it doesn't work. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on here? Thank you very much
I have the same with Oreo and WhatsApp
well, you need to go into settings, general, exclusions of power saving and then swipe right the whatsapp and network app. do this on apps you really want to be notified right when receive something...
otherwise you only will know you have something when unlock the device.
that way you get the notification even with the device locked.

I've already tried this, it doesn't work. The problem is not specifically with whatsapp, in fact I tried to enter with whatsapp web while the screen of the phone was off and the website kept telling me that my phone was not connected to the internet, but as soon as I unlocked it also whatsapp web found it and logged in. It's like I said in the title, the connections of the phone go to sleep when the screen is off, is there any option I am missing with this new Oreo software?

and thats what i say, you need to exclude whatsapp, network and wifi from power savings.
its the only way i see to solve the problem. no more can be done.

Hello,
recently I decided to update my Mi A1 to Android 9.0. Unfortunately it turns out that I have a big problem with notifications. Sometimes they come "normally", at the time they should. However, it often happens that notifications appear with a delay of 10-30 minutes. Sometimes they don't even come at all until I turn on the screen. In this case of course I am talking about the lack of notifications when the phone is unused. However, I once had a case when notifications from Facebook Messenger did not come for more than 3 hours, despite the use of the phone - car navigation, browsing the Internet, notes, etc. Messenger didn't show notifications of new messages until I opened it. I've tried to turn off the adaptive battery mode, but it did not help. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Everything worked well on Android 8.0, but I do not feel like going back to it again.

Try This

- Click on Not optimized on the top and select All apps
- Scroll to messenger an Click on it and select Don't optimize
you can do this with any app
hope this help u
I will try this, hope it helps. However on Android 8.0 I had optimization turned on and notifications were working fine.
