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.
My LG G6 already does this on 7.0. I need to look into this...
Try to uninstall and install whatsapp again

Wifi used to turn off under standby on Windows Phone 7, which was the most stupidest feature in the whole OS I don't care what anyone says. Can anyone confirm if this is still present in WP8?
Since nobody got their hands on a device that's not even out yet, we can't answer that.
How can anyone confirm such a statement when the os isn't even out yet? (and some features may be still on the work, since the sdk isn't the final version yet?)

There is/are an app(s) for that!
Even if it is still present in WP8, you can always have an app to help you add this feature (like other OS always does!)
Hi,
It would be really great if you could let me know the name of any of the apps which helps in keeping the wifi on all the time.
I am not having a rooted handset so I cannot change the registry entries and would only be able to get an app which is already in the marketplace

Its called keep alive
it has a logo of a heart
look it up in the market place
FWIW, even though the Wifi is switched off when the screen is off, I believe the OS does switch on & off the wifi as and when it needs to (checking emails, receiving push notifications etc) without fully waking the phone (ie the display stays off)
I run an app that polls a local server every few hours to check for new items. The local IP 192.168.1.65, as it appears on the local network, is the IP it checks. Every morning when I check my phone, the live tile has been updated overnight. It can't have made contact with the server unless it was connecting via Wifi, so therefore the Wifi is indeed being used even when the screen is off.
Therefore, I have no use for Keepalive or any of these apps. I'm not sure why people need it?
There were some recent news which mentioned that Live apps (Don't ask) will most likely remain active, even with the screen locked.
Also, seems that enabling your app as a GPS app will most likely let your app. However, these are discussions and rumors.
Wifi does not get completely shut down when you lock the screen. It simply enters a power-saving mode, cause you won't actively need your connection while phone is locked.
You can check this in easy steps. Get an app that updates itself over internet everytime you run it (say a whether app) and lock the screen at the exact moment when the app goes past the loading screen. You if you press the power button, you will see wifi is active in the status bar.
If you lock it the usual way, while nobody needs wifi, you will see wifi gets turned off almost instantly.
What if you are downloading bunch of podcasts ? Will the podcast app keep the wi-fi on until it finishes ? Also.. skype (or any other chat program) needs to check for updates as well.
I am sure they've made it seamless..
Hi All,
I've had the S7 Edge now for 3 months and I am generally loving the phone. However I have a few issues that are happening continoulsy:
Bluetooth turns itself on and the volume of the phone mutes itself.
Wifi turns itself off during the night even though I've selected the option to keep it on. I will wake in the morning and the phone is using my mobile providers data.
I have read various threads to factory reset the phone which I will do if it resolves the issues but I want to ensure my Apps return with the data they currently have residing in them e.g. 1Password etc.
Hoping someone has some thoughts,
Thanks.
CL
Did those issues always occur or start only recently?
Hi,
From memory they have always been there. I've just lived with them but they are becoming annoying.
Thanks.

this is not a common issue and I believe you got a defective unit. you should take it back to make warranty claim
I'll have a word with Samsung support. I would have thought that the software was telling it to do these things.

In the wifi settings, try disabling wifi smart network and setting also wifi always active on standby (the actual menu setting names might differ, I translated from italian).

Unfortunately I've tried all of those to no avail. Today the phone has 4 times muted itself and in addition Bluetooth has turned itself on automatically. All bizarre!
Do you use the edge panel "My Places?" This can change those settings based on location.

Unfortunately not I don't use it. I wish I did as that may be an answer! It happens all over to be honest and isn't linked to a certain location. It's very odd as I can be using the phone and suddenly it turns mute on. Sometimes bluetooth will turn on with it and sometimes not. Its frustrating as I am now missing calls and texts.
Appreciate any feedback.

Apps - application manager - apps that can change system settings. (names my differ. Translated from my language). See if any user app that you installed is enabled in there or try troubleshoot by disable one at a time.

Okay I've disabled them all for now. If things stop working I'll enable them one by one. There were a few that had access. Appreciate your help.
Just as an aside what is the best way to factory reset the phone and then reinstall the apps etc that I had installed. I'm thinking worst case if what you have proposed doesn't work? I had an iPhone prior to this and it was a pretty straight forward process.
Thanks.

I'm not TOTALLY sure, but I think that if you're logged in with your google account and go into settings->Backup and choose to backup to your google account, your app data should follow. After the backup is finished, factory reset and then when you log into your google account again you get an option to retrieve your old app+data.
Don't hang me up on this, as i'm not totally sure! But i THINK it works this way. Google at least mention app data in the decription, but well, not sure if everything follows.
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.
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...
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.
