[Q] Wifi only get's notices after turning on the Screen for about 3 second - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Z3 owners,
I know this is probably only 1 setting but I can't find it.
What I ment was that when I'm connected to a WiFi I'll only get messages from Whatsapp for example when I'm turning
on the screen for about 3 seconds.
Is this an energyoption ? Didn't found anything till yet.
Sorry for my bad english
Thanks in advance

Have you got stamina mode on? That mode stops the data communication while the screen is off.

Your English is better than my Spielergesprechan.
Go to the battery manager, then scroll down until you see Whatsapp (for example), and ensure you don't have `restrict background data` set for it.

In WiFi advanced settings there is an option to set if you want WiFi always on, or always on if connected to charger or off with screen off. I'm guessing its set to turn off with screen off.

Guess this was my mistake, it was set to "None ( Higher Datavolume )"

Nevermind, even with this Setting it doesn't work..
I could record my screen ( for example if I get a mail or sth ) and show it to you if needed
The messages only arrive if I unlock it.
I'm an IT-Specialist so I think I'm not that dumb :|
I really don't get what's the problem :s
Anyone else experiencing this ?

Did you try a full data reset? Maybe something got corrupted.

Turn off WiFi power savings in advanced and see if it helps....and keep WiFi to always on.

Got the solution. I had some other energysettings on.
For example: I had WLAN-Energyoptions turned on while my Stamina-Mode was off.
Or my stamina Mode was on and my WLAn-Energyoptinos were off.
Ridiculous..
My problem is solved now! Thanks for all your help.

i cant find answer and everyone in around say your phone and htc is a bad brand and ...
so i can't answer for which reason this happend
realy big problem for appZ like What's App
I'm just going to try out lowest screen brightness & never turn off screen and after that the advanced wifi lock & etting you know which works better on battery life. Tho im sure advanced wifi lock tops the other method.
I also I have the same problem, I put a link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34967017 # post34967017 to try to find help, but from what I see, is difficult to solve.
Still seems that advanced wifi lock is best solution right now. When i get 100% charge level i shall try how fast it drains the battery
But the question is why only a few phones have this problem and why a app like advanced wifi lock can fix the problem???????
Mysterious! I tried out different custom roms and radios and the problem was always the same.
Maybe one of the developers of a custom rom can help?

[Q] turn off LTE / 4 G antenna without going to Airplane mode

Hi
Been trying to find a way to shutdown the antenna without airplane mode.
I don't have 4g coverage everywhere anyway, so I figured to save some battery by shuting that down on occasion...
Anyone?
Thanks in advance

Any reason why you do not prefer the airplane mode ?
In case you are wondering, you can still turn on WiFi in airplane mode.
I'm interested too. I just got the 32gb version and the "no sim" prompt is a bit annoying. Since I don't have a sim in I don't think it's using batteries (I hope it doesn't) so it's not that bad.

There is an app in the play store called "network". Install it, open it and you can turn off the radio. Use it cautiously, you can screw up the settings if you're not careful, but it is useful for this need.

What's the problem with Airplane Mode + WiFi?
Cheers
Well I don't really have a problem with airplane mode, but would like a easy toggle / widget solution instead of the powerbutton solution

Toggle? Why can't it stay in airplane mode all the time?
Well answer is simple, in the course of a day I can enter and leave 4g/ lte /3g zones up to 10 times , and on occasion it would be nice to be able to very quickly turn on and off the 4g radio. Using the power button ( the button is a tad too "mushy" , on occasion I struggle to press it correctly) or browsing through the menus to find the toggle is a hassle ( specially now that you can't edit the toggles in the notification bar, thank you lollipop)
I think Lollipop has dynamic toggles, meaning once you access a setting a few times it would be added to your quick settings for easy access, or removed if you don't use it. I've noticed this on my phone (Moto G), but I haven't really given it any attention on my Shield tablet. It is possible Nvidia didn't keep this functionality I suppose.
Anyone know of a way to "force the issue" so to speak?
As in force lollipop to show the toggles I need....
The best solution I can think of is a 3rd party app. Power Toggles might be a good one.

You could use an RFID tag that is used with the app 'RFID Task Launcher' to turn on airplane mode and then turn on WiFi. You could setup when you tap once again to then turn off airplane mode (wifi will stay on).
Wouldn't that require root?

Problem is that lollipop seems to block third party access to ,amongst other things airplane mode
the best I've been able to do is set up a widget that sends me to the correct menu tab in settings so I can "flip" the airplane mode switch

that's only on power saving mode when the screen turns off,right?
try WhatsApp calling after you disable the power saving mode and you will be ok.
I am from La Paz Bolivia , and was very worried , I thought that the device was damaged, and effectively without save energy , I can make calls without cuts in whatsapp and facebook , I hope you solve that problem , because the s6 did not have these problems
GS7 whasapp disconnected when enable power saving mode

i tried many things but nothing worked.
im also having the same issue on my s6 edge from the day i have updated it to marshmallow. s7 has also the same problem. samsung should look into this matter.
Nope the only thing you can do is that you gonna have to disable the power saving mode
Or if the power saving mode is on you got to make sure the screen doesn't turn off.
Am unable to place whatsapp calls but whenI downloaded the latest version. I was able to place calls for sometime until it stopped again. What do I do?
Got the solution finally, all you need to do is to let apps in background to use the data or wifi and it will work, you need to customize the power plan.

Phone vibrates when I pick it up.

Well, as the title says, everytime I pick up my phone I feel a little vibration (and no, I don't have the "smart alert" thing turned on). I tried not to be worried about it but I can't not notice it. Any ideas?

May be you guys should try turning off the setting and restart, if that doesnt solve the problem go to recovery mode and clear cache. Let us know if any of that works.
On a side note: I have been facing weird ass issues with this phone just today my phone wont go to mute by using volume key while receiving a call. Like someone calls you and your phone is ringing, you just want to silence the ringtone you can use volume key (Press once), Flip the phone or put your palm over it (If you have the settings on). I tried multiple restarts and switched on and off the settings many times. It was fixed when i restarted my phone to download mode (This happened by mistake i wanted to go to recovery) anyhow that fixed it.

Also try clearing system cache in the boot menu.
If that doesn't get it, modify the appropriate notification setting, lol.
That can be a daunting task but sort of fun because you can streamline your notification settings as you do so.

There are apps that log notifications so you can just check the log and quickly determine what is causing the notification even if nothing is showing on-screen

If they catch it. Consider which sensors and operation triggers it, cause and effect, to narrow it down.
Playing with Android is fun... Android witch hunts are how you really learn about Android's gooey layer tricks.
Google searches on older Notes and parallel Samsung models can turn up answers many times.
This model is too recent; so not near as much online troubleshooting info. Google searches encompass threads on this forum as well so it can be a good way to find the needle in the Android stack. Do not time limit searches.
On my 10+ with it's baffling bt poor audio I found the answer with something written about the N9.
Many of these issues are long standing.
Samsung finally fixed the bt settings issue in a Wearables update. That took years.
Only persistence is omnipotent...
I figured that out by chance..
It's the edge-compass app
Just delete it from edge apps and it'll go away.. cheers

Well, I've checked all that and nothing, I don't even have the compass edge panel. But I think I'm able to replicate the issue, it mostly happens when my phone is face down on a surface and I pick it up and turn it to me, I don't have a case on it yet and I'm starting to think that it might have something to do with the edge screen but so far no luck
Use good lock. It has a module to detect vibrations and tell you what they are
Nice catch

Yeah, I installed it yesterday. But no vibrations are registered there so honestly I don't even know what to think now.
On the other hand when I switched from my note 10 plus I used smart switch, and now I'm thinking I should do a fresh start on my n20U.

Exactly check if you have Notistar from good lock switched on. That cache might need clearing.

It does suck some battery life though. It's one of the features I disable on my 10+ mostly because I find it annoying.
It's cool though how much you can customize notification behavior; one of the biggest reasons to go with Samsung is customization.
I play around with Settings a lot.. never crashed a load doing it. It's just occasionally gets time consuming to sort it out.

Question Does the screen-off unlock fingerprint icon always stays on?

Recently, I've experienced the fingerprint icon always turning on when screen off. It should be turn off after some time until I raise my phone. It happen last night and I just realise it. I really don't know how is this happen. Even after formatting my phone, it still does that. Can someone confirm this again with your fingerprint setting and let me know the interaction when you choose "screen-off unlock" to "Show fingerprint icon". Thank you in advance.
there is an option to let it stay in locked screen, i had it too and turned it somehow off.
cant tell you where exactly because im new to realme and need to SEARCH every function by myself..
