Delayed Google (talk, mail) notifications on wifi & Random wakelocks

Anybody have any suggestions for remedying the following two issues? Or is anybody else experiencing them?
1) First, and most importantly, my Gmail and Google Talk notifications are delayed on wifi when my screen is off. When I'm actively using the phone and my screen is on, there is no delay. Typical delay when screen is off is 3-5 minutes. However, I've seen delays as long as 20 minutes. Strange thing is, the delay kicks in literally the second I turn my screen off. For instance, I can be sitting and using the phone, turn it off, and then one second later send myself a Gtalk message, and the message won't come in for 3-5 minutes.
If I turn my screen on during this "delay period," all of the notifications immediately show up. So it's almost like the phone is going into some reduced wifi sensitivity mode the instant I turn the screen off.
For the record, my wife's Galaxy Nexus always gets Gmail and Gtalk notifications instantly when on wifi (yes, including the same wifi network that is giving me problems).
The only fix I've attempted so far is setting my phone's wifi to 2.4 ghz only, which did not seem to change anything. I already have the phone's wifi set to "Always" on. I do not have any power saving features turned on (no juice defender, no smart actions, etc.).
Router is an Apple Airport Express (as part of a Time Capsule). Update: I've now also tried an Actiontec router, and I get exactly the same delays. So it does not seem to be specific to Airport.
2) Second, I'm getting tiny, random wakelocks. I'll explain with three screenshots from different phones:
The below screenshot is from my wife's Galaxy Nexus. You can see that generally, when the screen is off, the phone is asleep. There are a few times when the phone is awake and the screen is off -- that's when the phone is streaming music.

}
The below screenshot is my HTC One S, which is setup exactly the same as my Razr M. Same widgets, syncing the same accounts, etc etc. Identical. Again, you can see that when the screen is off, the phone is almost always asleep.
The final screenshot is my Razr M. It's easy to see that the Razr M has tons of tiny wakelocks that neither of the other phones have.
I've tried to solve the wakelock problem by disabling location services, disabling 4g LTE, and disabling light flow. None seemed to have any effect. And again, the Razr M is setup identically to my One S, which does not experience the wakelocks.
Now, the wakelocks do not seem to be negatively affecting battery life, so I can deal with them. I just find it a little bit disturbing. Any suggestions for getting phone wake time to mirror screen on time?
Thanks.

Just to update the delayed notifications on wifi issue.
I've now tried it connected to my Apple Airport, an Actiontec router, and I even tried it connected to wifi using my HTC One S as a hotspot. So that's 3 different routers I've tried. I've tried WPA2 encryption and no encryption at all. I've turned off "mobile data" on the Razr M while connected to wifi in case there was some sort of interference going on. And yes, I even factory reset the Razr M and tried all of the above on a completely fresh M that had absolutely nothing installed to it or done to it other than adding my Gmail account. Despite all of this, my Gtalk and Gmail messages are still delayed by 3-5 minutes on average when I'm connected to wifi, and sometimes much longer.
Not sure what else I could even try on this particular unit. I'm going to take it to Best Buy and exchange it today (fingers crossed they don't give me any trouble). Hopefully I've just got a bad unit and the replacement will receive my messages on wifi in a more timely manner. Delayed receipt of messages on wifi was a major problem on HTC One series phones... I'm pretty sad to see it here, too.

KitKat and Data roaming: lost data connectivity notification

Hi all,
I'm facing a very disappointing bug with KitKat (installed few days ago): I have a G2 with D80220a-ESA-XX firmware (stock, unrooted) and more and more times during the day a popup reporting "You have lost data connectivity because you left your home network with data roaming turned off" appears. Roaming is disabled on my phone but this popups appears even if data are disabled and if the phone is not really roaming. If data are enabled, a notification with a triangle reporting the same message appears more and more times even if the phone is not roaming. This situation is very frustrating and above all, sometimes when the popup appears, my preferred network is automatically switched from 2G/3G/4G to 2G/3G. With the previous versions of Android this issue never appeared, so I'm here to ask you if somebody also is experiencing the same behaviour and how to report this bug to Google/LG or how to solve it?
Thank you so much for your help

Im still on jb and have been having this type behavior from day one also get more dropped calls than any phone i've had i've tried every setting and combinations i can do i think maybe the scan times are set for to long have noticed sometime when in a strong signal area i make a call and the no data pops up then after 30 to 60 seconds data reconnects im hopping that this gets resolved in the kitkat update for sprint
sent from my lg-ls980 there are many like it but this one is mine

This doesn't sound good bro

Yea i see complaints all spread out on this subject no one seems to know how to fix it i've talked to my carrier about it more than once and they keep blowing me off
sent from my lg-ls980 there are many like it but this one is mine

The behavior in some scenario is really frustrating: when there is an incoming call, the popup appears above, so I can only press the OK button that brings me to the networks configurations, then I have to go back to home, pull down the notification area, click on the incoming call notification and finally answer. All this just to answer and I let you to imagine how easy is this while driving. Really I hope that somebody can help...

Been there done that i'm hopeful that might be whats taking so long with our update maybe some of these bugs are getting squashed

Little update: it seems that if the phone went in roaming one time, every later time that the data are enabled or disabled, the popup appears. Can anybody else confirm this behavior?

Was in roam about 75% of the day yesterday and get this pop up all the time i need data 100% of the time for business ain't got time for lost data connection

I'm also experiencing the same bug on my G2 with D80220b-EUR-XX firmware. I have 3 (Hi3G) as my provider.
Sometimes it helps to turn Flight mode on and off, but only for a short while, then it pops back up.

I have to select dataroaming in order to be able to use mobile data after the kitkat upgrade. Enabling WIFI intermittently fails & the max volume is about 50% of what is used to be. Done numerous factory resets all to no avail. Seems there will be no 4.4.3 update for the 601 so I'll have to ditch it

I've got the same roaming warning.
I'm using an LG G2 D802 32GB with stock KitKat 4.4.2 + root + xdabbeb's camera mod v3.20.
I've no idea why it's happening. I can still use my phone and I'm connected to my network as usual.
Anybody with a solution?

Fixed my connection issues
I don't know if this will help everyone, but for me I figured out I had an app that stopped working right after the update. The app I was using was Onovo. Hope this helps someone.

smart network switch
​ i turned off "smart network switch" and it seemed to stop the persistent message. I dont see the point of that option because phones seem to automatically switch anyway by default, not allowing wifi and data to both be running at the same time.

Nevermind

Please Help - Galaxy S4 Loses LTE Connection All the TIme

Hey guys,
For some reason, my GS4 keeps losing its data connection to LTE throughout the day and the only way to get the data connection back is to restart the phone.
I have reflashed the phone once and still have the same problem. When the phone is restarted, the LTE connection picks up immediately but continues to drop. It's not a battery saver issue because this issue occurred even when I kept my phone with the default programs just to see if it would drop out again.
Any thoughts or has anyone experienced this?

Bump. Still looking for help

I am having the same issue on my Galaxy S4. It was happening with Jelly Bean, and it still happens with Kit-Kat. I have reseted the phone after every OS upgrade, but to no avail.
If anyone can help, it would be appreciated.
EDIT:
When typing *#1234#, I am getting the exact same info as shown above.

Ok mine has been doing this for a long time. It happens ALMOST every time I send or receive a picture text. I just started using TextSecure witch uses data not SMS and it is still doing it. Turning off mobile network and turning it back on fixes it. ( turning on Flight Mode then tuning it off in a minute of two I found is a shortcut). Been though several updates and no change.
Hope this sheds some light on the issue and a possible fix. If not maybe it will help someone by using my workaround.

WiFi disappearing

Seems like my 4G isn't being used because it is still grayed out on the status bar, but my WiFi symbol disappears and it shows that it is off in settings. when I turn it to "on" is just sits there and doesn't go on. A reboot fixes the issue but this is the second time today it has happened to me.
Anyone else experiencing this?

This happened to me yesterday. I was in an area with poor cell signal and after returning to an area with full signal everything came back but my 4G. I tried putting the phone into airplane mode then turning the antenna back on but it didn't work so I ended up rebooting to resolve. I will keep an eye on it to see if it happens again.

Yeah its very sporadic, happening to me right now as we speak! WiFi symbol is nonexistent on my status bar but the 4G is there grayed out. Its not using 4G so the WiFi is connected just not showing any indication.

I have tested it more over the weekend and the only way I could recreate the issue was again going to a location with poor to non existent 4G coverage and even then it was hit or miss so i do agree that it is very sporadic. Do you live in or frequent an area that has these conditions? I noticed that I could recreate the issue by trying to access something that requires internet while in a poor coverage area and return to full coverage while the phone is still trying to access whatever I was searching for.

Well with me its when I'm actually connected to WiFi....not 4G. So I'm home connected to WiFi and I'll look at my phone and see the WiFi symbol is gone, 4G is present but its the same grayed out symbol you see when WiFi is active. There are no data arrows under it so it makes me think I'm still running in WiFi but for whatever reason there is a glitch where it disappears and shows its off in the settings

This went away for a while and since rooting my device it has come back! It has been going on all day on and off. Anyone else have any insight in this??? Its driving me crazy

No Sound after Call Interruption till Restart

Hello all
I have been enjoying my galaxy S8 for almost 3 weeks now but there is a very annoying bug that is really driving me crazy. When I am in a call everything is fine but sometimes due to bad connections in some areas the signal is lost and the call ends but whenever this happens, there is a very silly bug that makes the phone completely silent with no sound at all. No matter what sound profile I have, there is no sound at all. No call sound (cannot hear the ring or the voice of who picks up) No music sound and no device sound (while clicking on any button or doing any interaction) the phone goes completely silent till I restart it. I searched alot to see if there is such an issue and saw that people reports sound gets lost when they stream videos for a few seconds but that is not my case.
Additionally, I kept trying to figure out any settings that may have caused this but I couldn't find anything except that after the call got ended, I checked the volume control widget (as in the attachment below) I found the "In-Call Volume" slider and I was not even in the call anymore!!!! This is the reason for the bug I guess. I then put the phone into the charger and the "In-Call Volume" slider disappeared but the issue remained -- no sound at all till I restarted the phone.
Any help?...
PS: Vibration works so well.

Same issue. Restart is the only solution that works!
Its really sad to face such issues, and its exactly as you have mentioned. The moment there is weak signal and a call is cut, anything after that has no sound. For me the only solution that has worked is restarting the device :crying:

same issue
Having the same issue. Brought my galaxy s8 last week, and since then having "no audio on calls" problem atleast once a day! This is frustrating - did anybody find a solution yet?

Having the exact same issue.
I have noticed it only happens when you have a bad signal and call drops.
Rooted my phone and installed custom ROM. Updated firmware. Problem still exists.

maybe baseband firmware problem.

I have tried the following basebands with no luck .

G950FXXU1AQE5

Possible it could be hardware related ? Faulty modem?

Hi guys
Having the exact same issue since day 1. (bought the phone 2 weeks ago)
I brought it back to the provider that i got it from (telecom company) last week, and they have sent it to Samsung. It seems to be a bug but they still don't have a solution for it, so they will replace my phone (i am not accepting the same phone back as well as there is warranty).
I suggest that you follow the same path. Any other path is causing you frustration as it doesn't seem to be a solution at the moment...

Hi
I have the same problem with my s8.
I call samsung support in my country. A tech guy examined my phone remotely and didn't find anything in that moment. He suggested to uninstall Voice recorder app. Since uninstall there were no sound issues (although there were several call drops). I don't use voice recorder so for me the problem is solved.

I have the same issue. Any updates?

After few days of investigation, I tried to turn-off the Bluetooth and leave my Gear S2 smartwatch at home. And that really helped.
So, I factory reset my watch and reinstalled all the Gear apps on a smartphone. Currently, there are no sound problems for almost 2 days. [happy]

@Commandermadi
Have you tried turning on airplane mode?
I had the same problem, but with social apps (WhatsApp, Messenger) and the only solution is to force close the app that caused the issue.

Mine is doing same thing except sound disappears after a ROM flash...or a simple reboot or when phone dies
