I bought a Sony Smartwatch one week ago and I am using it with an HTC One X. I installed Twitter and RSS on it. I configured both apps to sync every 15 minutes. I noticed that new tweets did not appear on my watch so I went to look what the problem was. I saw that the data connection was not active. I thought it was Juice Defender that did that so I disabled JD.
Tried again, still no luck. Data connection was gone again. I found the problem; it was the power saver mode from the One X that was activated. I deactivated it and the tweets started flowing in, and synching took place every 15 minutes without any problems at all. But... the battery of my One X was getting drained like crazy. So I had to turn off the data connection.
I've now been searching for days to find the most energy efficient way to still get new tweets on my watch every 15 minutes without having a dead battery after a few hours. What I basically need to find is a way for the One X to activate the data connection, sync all SmartWatch apps and then turn off the connection again.
I tried configuring Juice Defender to activate the data connection every 15 minutes for 1 minute. I thought that the SmartWatch app would synchronize as soon as Juice Defender would activate the data connection but this was not the case. Apparently the SmartWatch app tries to sync exactly every 15 minutes and when it fails, it doesn't wait for the data connection to get activated. It just gives up and waits another 15 minutes instead of waiting until there's an active data connection. That's quite lame actually, and I don't understand why Sony didn't think about that.
I don't have anymore ideas as to what I can do now... Anyone here who has the solution I'm looking for? I really like the watch and it would be awesome if I'd find a great solution to this problem I'm having. In the meantime, I'm just synching the apps manually on my phone every now and then.
Well the solution would be to have the data connection activate in the 14th minute, and drop in the 16th. You could also use Tasker, which could activate the data connection a few seconds before twitter updates, and end shortly after (maybe 15-30 seconds after it starts.)

Hello everyone,
I'm using HTC Desire S (Android 2.3.3). I've been having a weird problem lately. When my screen goes off, I stop getting notifications after 10 minutes or so. I've never experienced such a problem before. My phone was running smoothly. I used to get notifications from Whatsapp even when my phone was on sleeping mode... I started not to get notifications from any application unless I turn the screen on and wait for 5 minutes or directly click on the application wait for it to establish connection with my mobile data. I guess my mobile data dies when my phone is on sleeping mode or something. I'm not sure though because my mobile data connection is always on but somehow applications lose connection with my mobile data until my phone wakes up. Can you help me with that? I've installed an application called Juice Defender awhile ago but I deleted it since it messed up my phone. I also tried to reset my phone but still no luck... Is there anything I can do?
Thanks
do you use "Juice Defender" ?
if so, try to disable it... i had the same problem (with other device... not the Desire S) and it been solved by disabling "Juice Defender"
Not sure what could be causing that if it persists after a factory reset.
Have you looked at using Tasker instead of juice defender? I also found juice defender quite buggy, and it was in searching for an alternative that I found tasker. I think it has a free trial period. Instal a plugin called synker. Your can then set tasker to periodically force a sync of your accounts. My profile forces a sync for
2 minutes every 15 minutes, then turns auto sync off (if my screen is off). Works well and saves battery too.
Taker is quite tricky to get used to, so if you struggle, get those two installed then send me a PM and I'll send you the tasker profile. Import it and your problem will be solved!

ive had a simaliar issue
wifi and data go off randomly when in sleep mode
im on stock 2.3.5 and not rooted
no juicedefender apps
On my DS after the phone is left asleep overnight - I never turn it off as it's my alarm clock - I frequently get "NO SERVICE" and have to reboot.
Never got to the bottom of it either....
Hi,
interesting thing during my test of battery tonight (although it happend only once yet). I woke up (sync off for the night) and I saw I had no data connection (2G). Trying to manually sync didnt help, RestartConnections app didnt help, manually turning mobile data off and on didnt help, even restart didnt help. Then, after few minutes after the restart, I enabled autosync and it did successfully "push thru", E icon appeared near the signal bar and connection was there. Weird. I had Nexus S for few months now and it never happened.
Also, I was using Tasker to manually enable autosync for 2 minutes every 15 minutes and check for wifi every 15+3 minutes (so it wont interefere with the sync). But syncs went ok and no profile of mine has to do anything with mobile data. So I dont believe its relevant.
I woulndt be probably speaking about this but I use the same nandroid backup rom for all my testing (I restore it during the evening so the battery tests would all begin with the same software combination) and this never happened.
Hi guys.
I'm having problem with app called Smart Connect from Sony.
The problem started when I bought NFC Tags and start to use them.
But the best thing is that I don't even use that app for tag's due to not recognising them.
For a period 3 and a half hours my battery went down from 100% to 41% even when I didn't use my phone.
I only used it for 20 minutes to check facebook, e-mails etc. Also NFC so on for a period of 1 minute or two ?
Just to make change's at phone when touching to tag.
I'm on stock 2.17 without any customization, stock kernel, rooted, bl unlocked. Also don't know why but Smart Connect is showing at the list that uses 40% and Facebook which is another problem is 30%...
I even didn't have problem with Facebook app till yesterday... It always work and even it didn't eat that much. It never goes more than 3% of use a the battery stat's. Phone is active for all the time, even when wifi is turn off. No I don't use network data. I'm having full network signal also I don't use stamina but maybe the problem is in app called Snapdragon BatteryGuru ?
I really stupid, haven't made any changes at phone and battery it goes a lot.
Hello everyone!
I've recently bought my s6 after killing my old s5 with salt water on a Mediterranean trip (after taking it apart I found out the previous owner had the screen replaced, probably didn't do a very good job of putting the seals back together), and I was hoping that the notifications issue was gone on the s6. Here's what happens: when I get up in the morning I usually start my phone routine by reading the news, maybe watching some videos on YouTube, check on my games, and so on. The WiFi is on all the time when I'm at home. The first time I unlock the screen I only see the default email app notifications, 2 or 3 new emails. Once the screen is unlocked, other notifications show up, like the Gmail app, WhatsApp, tapatalk, and so on. It does this 80 to 90% of the time, maybe once or twice a month I see all my notifications the first time I press the power button to unlock my screen. Going on, half an hour to one hour after reading my newspapers feeds and watching videos, playing my games, there is a noticeable lag whenever I try opening a new Internet tab, or a new YouTube video, or anything that requires the Internet connection. After this lagginess starts, usually within a few minutes my phone behaves like it's not connected to the Internet anymore. The WiFi signal is strong, it stays connected to the router, but I can't use the Internet, it just shows that it's loading whatever it is I've asked it to load at the moment (YouTube video, internet tabs and so on) and remains like that until I disconnect from the WiFi and reconnect. I have to do that for the Internet connection to work again. I've noticed that while on mobile data it doesn't exhibit this issue as much, maybe just the occasional WhatsApp notifications halt, other than that it seems to be working ok.
Before you answer you must know that I'm not using the"do not disturb" mode at all, the router is brand new and it gets a reset every few days . I experience this issue both at my place and at my girlfriend's place, we have different router manufacturers.
I used to get the same problem with the old s5 as well. At first I thought the router was the issue, got a new one, the issue is still there. I also did the wipe cache partition, factory settings reset, different Google account,all with the same end result.
Sorry for the layman terms, I was trying to present the facts as I experience them in hope that the more technologicaly educated of you will know where or why the issue happens.
If you have any ideas or advice that I haven't tried, please share and thank you for reading.

Hi guys!
I did a lot of googling and searching through XDA, but never found a solution for my problem, so I might as well try it here.
Recently I updated my Sony Xperia X Compact to AOSP 10. Now when I am connected to wifi (and it does NOT matter whether it is 2.4/5GHz or IPv4/IPv6, I tried everything) and my screen is locked, my system seems to put the wifi connection into some kind of battery saving mode. Notifications then will hardly come through. You can also see this in WhatsApp Web - every two minutes or so, "Phone not connected" will show up, and messages take up to 2 or 3 mins to get delivered. Then I can use Whatsapp Web normally for 30 secs, after which my phone seems to disconnect again. If I unlock my screen, WhatsApp Web will immediately (!) start working normally again, also missing notifications (e.g. Signal) will then come through.
While of course this might be a ROM bug, I am at least 100% sure it IS ROM-related, as I used exactly the same phone with exactly the same router without any problems while on Android 9 LineageOS.
Another interesting thing - if I charge my phone, during charging WhatsApp Web works completely without problems. The moment i UNPLUG the phone, wifi gets somewhat throttled agian.
Does anybody know a working solution for this? I do not have the option "Disable wifi sleep" or something similar - i believe Google has dropped this option somewhere around Pie.
Thanks in advance!

AFAIK there are kind of wifi energy saving options on some devices. But IDK if you can enable or disable wifi when phone is locked
