[Q] Data does not sync while hd2 is on stand by

I have setup the phone to sync weather for example every half an hour. If the phone is on stand by it does not sync. It is as if it turns off the data connection. Any help would be appreciated.

Any ideas? It will only sync when the phone is awake and unlocked? If the phone is locked it doesn't sync

Im surpriesed nobody can help with this!

You are certain it is only the weather that is not auto updating?

That is the only thing I have noticed so far.

No help at all? Basicily data does not sync at all when the phone is on stand by. It is as if the data connection disconnects. I cant seem to work out how to "keep it alive" Any help would be appreciated.

GhostXSeries, what activity do you expect from your phone in stand by (sleep) mode?
Sleep mode also called "standby mode" is an inactive state of the device that is quickly brought back into action by touching any keyboard key or pressing the on/off switch. It is used to save battery power.
In sleep mode the screen is turned off, all system processes are suspended (including data transfer), and the CPU is throttled down to its lowest power state - no activity. However, all instructions and data still reside in memory, and dynamic RAM memory chips require power to hold their content.
So what kinda sync do you want to have?

The main one I would like to have updated is the weather. I do not see the point of being able to set the weather to automticly update every half an hour if the phone does not do it while in stand by mode. If I turn the phone on and update maually it works fine. Is there any way to sort this?

My phone will automatically update itself if the set amount of time as passed while it was in standby mode. Meaning, if I set it to autoupdate every hour and I've had my phone in standby mode for 2 hours, when I wake it up, it will automatically sync the weather and any other data that should have been syncing during it's standby phase. Does your phone not do this as well?
There is also an app called "Screen Off" which will ONLY turn off the screen and not put your phone in stand by mode which means that all data and such will continue to function while your screen is off.
Oh and I was waiting on a definitive repsonse to the "only weather" question I asked. Obviously, just your weather not updating properly and ALL your data not updating properly are two very different problems.

I did not read the first post carefully. So you mean - the system timers do not work properly - they don't wake up your phone from standby for weather update?

I have mine set to do the same, but fo example for again the weather, I have it set to update every 1 hours, when I leave the phone on overnight and check it in the morning it does not update untill I press the manual update button.
Say I had the phone updated at 11pm and put it on stand by, check the phone at 8am the last update time was 11pm. It will stay at 11pm and only when I press the update button does it then update. It is not an overly big thing but I am under the impression that If I set the phone to update every hour even if it is on stand by or not the latest it should be behind is 59 minutes!

WiFi stays ON even when in sleep mode

Something very curious has happened the last week or so.
The Wifi stays on, even when the phone is in sleep mode. It is evident when I unlock, the wifi symbol on the status bar doesn't bleep (reconnecting), but stays solid (connected). Of course that could be an operating system displaying error, but it's not; functionality is there, wifi stays on, device connected to the internet. And I'm not talking about the short amount of time that the wifi stays on after locking the phone. I'm talking I'm receiving notification etc as if I was using data.
I noticed it when, after waking up in the morning, I realised a massive battery drop (from 65% to 27%) overnight, although I keep my phone on airplane mode at nights.
As I haven't recently used any mods, regedits etc, and I haven't updated or flashed any rom (btw I'm on debranded stock 8107, with KK2), I can attribute this weird but very interesting behaviour to 2 possible things:
a. I installed some app, possibly homebrew, that somehow (even the dev didn't know about that) keeps running keeping wifi awake under lockscreen
b. Maybe it's because I'm on Airplane mode. I kept on being on Airplane mode from the moment I noticed it (as I have input my SIM to another phone). I should note though that there is a sim in the phone, I'm just on Airplane mode. Is that a known feature? Wifi stayin on under lockscreen on Airplane mode? I don't think so, as I would have noticed all that time (I keep my phone on that mode a lot).
That behaviour has persisted after soft-resets (reboots) and battery charges. The only hardware change I made the last week was using a non OEM replacement battery (the ones that reboot the phone when connected to the charger). But I'm using the original battery.
I should note it consumes about 4% of battery life for every hour, quite viable.

thats weird, but to some ppl, like me, i'd be happy if this happens, would love wifi staying on in sleep mode.
but, the opposite happens with mostly everyone

Even more curious thing that I found out today. When the phone is SWITCHED OFF, and wifi was on before switching the phone off, I have battery drop (almost the same as if being switched on with wifi on, around 3-4% per hour, in my instance from 43% went to 11% when I switched the phone on).
I don't know if the (original) battery has been messed up, so the battery index is not reliable (the reason I bought replacements was that in a span of 1 month, I was not treating it right, a lot of charging, heavy operation simultaneously, resulting in excess battery heating etc), or for some reason the use of the fake battery messed up the software part (both battery metering and WiFi stayin on)
I'll do so more testing and I'll report. Has anyone tried to go to Airplane mode and switch on Wifi, to check if it stays on under lockscreen?

It stopped today... weird!

... And it happened again, this time I think it might have been triggered by Audible, I might make a video as a proof.
EDIT: I was making that video, and realized on cam that it stopped happenning, and then I realized I had flashed beforehand the KK4 firmware. What a douche! If it happens I'll try to capture it on camera

When the data connection is OFF (like when you activate airplane mode) wifi remains connected even when you lock the phone.

No that doesn't normally happens, unless you have an app running under lockscreen and using WiFi (like a music streaming app)

[Q] strange battery drain, overheating with no wakelocks

Hi! sorry about my English.
I'm having a strange problem with my exynos galaxy s5. It sometimes gets really hot and the battery drains really fast, even with low usage (emails and whatsapp). It's definitely a software problem, because it disappears on reboot. But after a while it returns.
After a reboot i can get sometimes 4.5h to 5h or more of screen on time with no overheating, full day, but than something triggers and i have 2.5 screen or 3h max on with a hot device on wifi, and terrible standby time.
I can't pinpoint the problem. It's not a wakelock problem. I Checked wakelock detector (PC version, since my device is unrooted), and it shows only 8% wake on a full day (yesterday).
The battery on setting shows normal usage: the screen is always on top, followed by android os.
I really don't know what to do, besides keeping rebooting the device every day. No luck turning locations services off.

Check if the weather thing is using GPS. I found out that in places with poor GPS reception, the lock screen weather widget can keep GPS running forever until it gets a fix.

Your English is very good.
I would do a full wipe.
What software version do you currently have?

Phone shutting down randomly

Hi everone. I have the Samsung Galaxy S5 (Octa core version). Recently, i noticed that the battery had a strange behavior, so i planned to replaced when i finish my exams. During that time, the phone started to shut down randomly, so i bought a new battery thinking that would resolve all the problems, but it won't. The phone keeps shutting down alone, it happends when the battery percentage is below 60% and for turn on again i have to connect the phone charger or remove the battery and put it in again. Some times, the baterry percentage changes -/+ 15%, even from 40% to 3%. Oddly, sometimes the phone just get a black screen when i using it or the screen suffers some kind of distortion and shuts down.
Already did a factory reset and did some test on safe mode, but no luck. Curiously, when the phone is charging, there are no problems of any type.
Any clue of what could be?

Sync keeps re enabling itself

I noticed that battery is still an issue on galaxy phones, as it was on my late S6 edge + (before tweaking it), like 20% less battery after a 1h45 phone call....
My new s10+ did loose 20% a day, even on just turning on the phone and going thru parameters and such.. so I began to turn off uneeded stuff. But one begins to pss me off : sync keeps re eanbling itself even after being turn off.
Any ideas ?
