I bought 2 of these phones one for a friend and one for my mum. After noticing several times while messaging my friend on whatsapp that only 1 tick would appear usually for between 30 seconds to a minute or 2, i suspected there could be some issue going on with the wifi. After testing my mothers phone I can confirm there is an intermittent problem where the phone doesn't receive a notification as soon as it's sent. There's a lag anywhere between 30 seconds and a couple of minutes.
I've tested back and forth with a bunch of other phones on the same network and they suffer no issues at all, always instant notifications. I've also messed with every possible setting in the advanced Wifi options, done restarts, tried different channel for my router etc, the lag is there at least 50% of the time.
I should point out this lag is only there when the phones screen is off and in sleep mode. Once the power button is pressed to wake all delayed messages are instantly received. I've also tested and get the same problem with hangouts so it's not a whatsapp issue. I also don't think it's a router issue as my other phones are perfect and my friend is in a different house with completely different router and has the exact thing happening.
Is this a known problem and if so is there any way to solve it? Is there an updated radio that can be downloaded and flashed to the phone without rooting, or do we just have to hope a future update will solve this small but annoying issue?
Thanks.
Is no one experiencing anything similar?
I had this problem since i got my first moto g. Now I have two with the same problem and a friend of mine aswell. All other notifications (email,tapatalk) are working great. I'm having problema only with mess apps like whatsapp,viber,line.

I'm hoping it's just a radio firmware problem as the messages are instant as long as the screen is on. I've not tested much on mobile data so it could be affecting both but right now I'm thinking it's a WiFi problem when then phone is sleeping (screen off). The messages always get through though eventually after a minute or two. It's almost like the phone only enables WiFi data for a few seconds every minute to check for notifications, like a battery saving feature. Whatever it is I don't like it, hopefully something that can be fixed in an update or by flashing a new radio.
Yeah, with Whatsapp on Wifi I have some lags when sending or receiving messages, but I see that is my wifi network, my neighbor's wifi can connect fast and I have no problems with Whatsapp and is fast using cellular data...

I previously had a Samsung Galaxy S3 that ran Android 4.1.2. Push notifications would come through pretty much instantly.
Now that I have my Nexus 5, I'm noticing that push notificiations are delayed. For example, I might receive an email on my PC saying that someone has posted on my Facebook timeline, but a notification doesn't pop up on my phone for 10-15 minutes later. Sometimes I get no notifications for a while because they're delayed, then the notification sound on my phone will go off 3 or 4 times in a row as a bunch of notifications from different apps have all arrived at once.
Also, sometimes I got no notification at all. For instance, I sold an item on eBay and usually I would get a notification that it has sold. On this particular occasion, no notification appeared. The same has happened with Facebook. Sometimes I will go to Facebook and find that a friend has written on my timeline, yet I didn't receive a notification about it on the phone.
I Googled this issue and found it was a problem that plagued the Nexus 4, so I'm wondering if it also affects the Nexus 5 too. Does anyone else have this issue with the Nexus 5? Is there any fix for it?
I get this too, but not very often. Most of the time I find my phone gets notifications before my PC or other phone does. But there are occasions, particularly when I'm not on WiFi, when I either get delayed notifications, or I won't get them at all, until I reconnect to WiFi.
It's been happening to me, including when I was running totally stock w/ locked bootloader. I'm on Sprint. Not sure if it's a data issue or phone issue.
Turning off wifi optimization solved my delayed corporate email (outlook) notification.
Thanks for the replies.
I'm having this issue while connected to Wi-Fi, although I haven't tested to see if the issue occurs via my mobile network as well. I have tried 2 factory resets, but that didn't fix it.
It's almost like, when the screen is off and the phone sleeps, it loses the ability to receive push notifications, but then after a while it suddenly regains it and that causes a bunch of notifications to arrive at once.
I've contacted Google support about it, so I'll see what they say.

Any update on this? What did they say? I have the same problem and it's driving me crazy.. I came from GS3 and notifications were instantaneous... on this one I have to open lets say Whatsapp every other minute to check if someone sent me a message... and even sometimes I open the app and it takes some time for the internet to "wake up" and finally refresh the app... it sucks... I would return my phone if this can't be fixed easily..
So any update or solution on this would be gratly appreciated. Thanks

Google ended up offering me a replacement phone, but that didn't go too well. The new phone they sent wouldn't connect to my Wi-Fi network, so I contacted them to return it but they told me I had to return my original phone, get another replacement, and only then could I return the second one. Obviously, each time they sent out a phone they were putting holds on my credit card for £xxx so in the end I phoned up and complained. To cut a long story short, I still have the original phone and I haven't decided what to do yet.

Interesting, I have just turned this off on mine too to see.
I only get delays when I am connected to my home wifi (2.4 or 5GHz). Maybe it is because I only have a 4mb ADSL connection ...
I will check tonight if that fixes it and/or also try the PNF app.
any update or fix on this yet? this is driving me mad, every time I get a notification on twitter or my email my idol picks it up first and my phone gets it 8-9 minutes later even if I'm using it at that moment, anybody else get the delay even while using the device?
All of a sudden I have started facing this problem since the past few days
Yeah..same here

I am using Moto g and I think its an issue with KitKat rather than with the hardware or the network. My push notifications are being delayed and that wasnt the case with JB 4.2 on my earlier phones.
Very frustrating
I've not been getting google hangouts messages until 20-30 mins later. sometimes i never get a notification, but if i check hangouts i see a new message. Another times i only get the message on the computer, but never on the phone. if i go and clear the app data new messages show up
My push notifications were coming through very quickly up until 2 weeks ago. I have not changed devices, carriers, or installed any new apps. One day they were coming through fine, now they are delayed by up to 30 minutes. My phone has not installed any OS updates either.
I have factory reset my phone, once restoring from cloud, the other not restoring at all and setting up the phone from scratch. This is really irritating. It does it on mobile networks or wifi.
Moto G is frustrating
It's frustrating.
I searched google without obtaining a solution. Moto G and sometimes I get delayed notifications and not others.
Facebook does not even make the notifications. In Whatsapp I have to open it every 2 minutes to see if someone has written. What not to do. I'm bored with this phone.
No solution or google and motorola solve it. Cursed kitkat!
Anything new? This problem is old and comes from the Nexus 4. I really am very sad about it, not PNF solving this.
I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. It definitely started after i upgraded my s2 to kitkat rom back in december. At first i thought it had to do with the PM sleep modes but none of them make a bit of difference. Ive goggled it to death and this thread is the only one ive found.
Currently im going to try the suggestion on the first page to turn off wifi optimization as my phone only does this on wifi. when i use mobile data everything works as expected
EDIT: WIFI optimization makes no difference
Push Notifications
I have faced this problem on both my S4 and S5 on sprint. I think it has to do with sprint closing open tcp connections prematurely, which causes push notifications to fail.
Running the app Root-Push Notifications Fixer, or Unrooted version has worked for me. The root version seems to be more reliable.

I only experienced the problem over sprint's network.
Since I got my phone on release day and I haven't been able to use it to make calls in my 2012 mazdaspeed3. My other phones have worked fine so I thought I needed a software update on my radio. Well everything is up to date and that didn't fix it.
The problem is when I make or receive a phone call the Bluetooth will connect and disconnect every 5-10 seconds. This makes it impossible to talk on the phone.
So I have tried stock roms, sense based roms, and all the CM based roms and they all did the same thing. Yesterday I was trying to figure it out so I sat in my car in the garage and the phone was in a constant connect disconnect loop. During this time I was disabling apps and services hoping to stop it when all of a sudden I turned off WiFi and it stopped. I then called my wife and had a 10 min conversation with no problems. So I now run a tasker profile that when Bluetooth connects it turns off WiFi so I can make calls. The problem is I have a nexus 7 dash mounted and I use the WiFi hotspot to run apps.
So after all that, does this sound like a hardware issue or a software issue? Should I return my phone for an exchange? Thanks for the help

So far, no. It took me like 20 minutes to get the phone to pair but once that was done it hasn't disconnected at all. I have music constantly streaming through Bluetooth to the car and I've taken a couple calls with no issue.
having the same issue here. My vehicle is a 2013 Ford F150 with Sync.
Worked up until about a day ago .. Now i can't get stock or aosp roms to lock in bluetooth

Have you tried clearing data and cache in settings?
the Red Viper ROM
I am having the same issue.
It is connecting and disconnecting repeatedly, and it is SUPER annoying because it essentially renders my pebble watch useless.
For a while i was using the Automatic Link (car link) and was getting 'bluetooth share has stopped' errors, but found that when I stopped using the Automatic app it helped a little bit (stopped giving me the 'share has stopped' error), but it still connects and disconnects repeatedly.
The weirdest thing about this is that when I first got this phone I wasn't having this problem, everything was working fine for the first month or so, but it seems to keep getting worse.
I have tried wiping cache, dalvik, fixing permissions, etc. and have not had any luck, but I don't want to do a complete wipe of all my data and lose my text messages, etc. unless ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, since there are images and things in there that I continually refer to for work, and I have not found that titanium backup restores them very reliably.
Has anybody had any luck with this issue? Could it be a defective device? It seems to me like it should be a software problem because it is not something I was having problems with from the start...
I am very frustrated with this, even more so because I love this phone so much. I have never had a phone that I liked as much as this one, usually the first thing I do is install an AOSP rom, but I even like Sense 6 in some ways. With Nova Launcher's 'OK Google' hotword support this phone is a dream come true... if only the bluetooth worked.

Sounds like the common theme may be root for whatever reason. I assume when you first had the phone and it worked that you were not rooted? Possible issue?

you need to let HTC backup app take care of backing up your texts etc...what if you dropped the phone in the toilet tonight or got pushed into a pool?
this app is free...will backup your stuff daily or on demand and will restore email accounts/texts/desktop/apps/blinkfeed settings etc.
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407589902
install that, backup to the cloud (uses Google drive) and then continue troubleshooting without fear of losing stuff.

I've got a D6633 version of the Z3 and every now and then it will reboot. The funny thing is it does so either in idle or in deep sleep 100% of the time. I've never had it reboot when i'm playing a game or anything.
Also recently with all the material updates in apps, I'm getting a lot of app crashes. Facebook was the main one, but the Gmail app was doing it quite a bit recently. I couldn't reply any emails as it would just crash.
Has anyone, preferably with a D6633 been having these issues as well?
I'm stock unrooted.

I also have the same issue with my phone auto reboot after I connected my phone to my car by bluetooth. the first day I owed it, it rebooted 5 times within 10 minutes, very bad. then today is my second day of owing the phone, it reboot once under the same situation. I think it has to do with bluetooth or something, just annoying.

My experience with KK and bluetooth has been crummy to put it mildly, and this is on a few different devices. Reboots I've not seen. Have you by chance tried performing a reset of the device? In Lollipop, I've read that can clear some issues with Wifi/BT up.
I'll be getting my Z3 tomorrow, and BT is one of the first things I test. Between work calls and music, it's about 1/2 of my total phone use. Hopefully my experience is better than yours.
I have D6603 and just like yours my phone restarts every now and then and this happens only when phone is in deep sleep...
I know this because when I return home from work and grab my phone there are notifications about restore files available on sd card and mobile data disabled...
Hi All,
Im using my gear S2 with a Samsung galaxy A3 phone. I seem to be having a lot of issues with the watch reverting back to standalone mode and not connecting over BT. Anyone experiencing similar issues? I've tried all the usual things - restarting both devices, toggling BT etc. Every once in a while it syncs properly via BT but then drops out again within a day or two.
I had a search through the forums but couldn't find note of a similar issue. I'd be pretty happy with the watch if I could sort this issue out. Any help would be appreciated. cheers
Brett
Hey all, this issue still happens. Occasionally restarting my phone works to resolve the issue. Another quirk is that smart lock still keeps working even though the watch is apparently in standalone mode...When I use the gear app it says the watch is disconnected and then fails on attempt to reconnect.
So now I have to restart my phone every day to keep the two synced when it drops out.
Any ideas, perhaps there is a secondary app I could use to do an auto restart on the BT or the like?
Similar issue as well.
Mine is a bit different. Any time I go outside of BT range, and come by my Gear S2 doesn't automatically reconnect. It will stay in remote mode until I manually go into the Gear App, disconnect and then reconnect.
Same thing happens if I do it again as well.
I suspect something is going on with the re-activation lock feature. I did not have this issue prior to setting it up. I do need to do a bit more investigating before I point out the cause.
Chiming in that I'm experiencing similar issues after the most recent software update running version R730VVRU1BPC1. I have it paired with a Galaxy S7 and there does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to when it drops. I just get a little vibration notification.
Same issue after last update on Note4.
Same issue aflter last update for S2 - Classic
So i hoped the update for the watch my change anything... it doesn't... by Bluetooth from phone is either turning off or disconnects from watch like every 5 minutes

I had the same issue. I dont use my watch extensively away from my phone but around te house it will get out of BT range and go into remote mode. once i return to near the phone, it wont reconnect to BT.
I solved this on the watch. Under settings-connections-mobile networks i set it to automatic.
this seems to have solved the reconnect to bluetooth issue. im not sure about how all the functionality works when away from the phone but it seems something you might want to experiment with.
Hey
Does anyone experience problems of phone having full signal and then dropping it.
The problem I'm experiencing is frequent dropout during calls and being unable to establish them afterwards.
I can send texts and use the internet one minute and the next the phone doesn't work and drops my calls as well as doesn't accept them.
I tried swapping SIMs, rebooting, flight mode, you name it. The phone starts working again after about five minutes.
Here is the error:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e6_D3RM6luCK_LWDQSmOq-gJmmxjQOd9/view?usp=sharing
I would really appreciate some help. I highly suspect that this started happening with one of the latest updates.
I'm on a vanilla 12.0.3 Global rom.
Cheers

Yup. I have it pinpointed to a software problem as the phone worked just fine until a couple of updates ago. I can't however work out what could cause it.
I'm currently trying toggling VoLTE and changing APN settings (APN had wrong settings but still worked). Maybe the combination of both could cause problem.
I have also found out that SMS and data connection works fine all the time. It's just the calling function that causes the problem. I can listen to Spotify all day and it will work but as soon as someone tries to call me the signal will drop and everything stops. When I call the same thing happens. The bars just drop to 0 and playback stops. It resumes right after and works fine as long as I don't try to call. If I do the same thing happens.
The issue resolves itself after 5-30 minutes or so and then everything works totally fine.
So yeah if I had a rooted phone I would definitely contribute this to faulty rom or a rogue app. But I don't have one so it should work fine.
I've managed to capture it on video (sorry for the shaky camera but it was hard to film using one hand):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxusuCwsiBc&t=2s
Reboots, flight mode, swapping SIM cards (using a brand new one), using a SIM in slot 1 or slot 2, heck both slots, VoLTE on or off... I have literally tried everything. Nothing changes. Placing the same card in my other phone is fine. The problem happens everywhere and not only in one place so it's not reception. Also it doesn't matter if I'm moving or not so it's not switching between towers.
