whatsapp messages delayed only on my home wifi

hello im having a big probelm and need help!
i tried many things to do and nothing works.
Let me explain all the things I've learned. First of all, the problem only occurs on my home wireless network and not at other locations. Sometimes whem someone wants to send me a message I get it delayied between two to 30 minutes. This does not happen when I'm a regular Internet connection. In addition,when i open the app it takes it about 30 seconds to connect and to start sending the messages i tayped message (message waiting with a form of alarm).
I checked the problem in six different phones and it occurs on evrey android that i tried (S2 S3), but not on iphones.
I redefined the home network, I changed my router and modem and still nothing has changed (but not the companies that give me this servises)
All Android-based mobile I use experienced this problem so there is no issue with the device itself or the application download.
help me becuse i am getting crazyyyyyyyyy

uninstal ur whatsup and instal again..or check maybe whatsup need update..:good:

Given the scenario you have given;-
1) Your phone works fine for WhatsApp everywhere else
2) Other phones have problems with WhatsApp at your home
3) You've changed the network, router and modem
There is only one possible cause - your ISP must be throttling the WhatsApp data stream for some reason.

You didn't say what happens if you use your device on a different wifi network.

I took that to mean it worked fine on other WiFi networks. Maybe I shouldn't have made that assumption.

Your ISP is doing deep packet inspection delaying the Whatsup messages ?

If all the other statements are correct then the only thing left which could cause the problem is his ISP - whether it is deliberate throttling or not is a different matter.

didnt work
i changed the company, which is my isp, to another one yestarday - didnt work
the thing is that i noticed that it is not only whatsapp that delayed, but evrey app - facebook email.......
so the problem is not specific with whatsapp, but the all push serives
on over networks he works fine, when i had an iphone (until 3 weeks ago) this never happend
i dont know what to d' and im geting crazyyyyyy

I'm still trying to understand exactly when this happens. Do you get this problem with delays on other WiFi networks?

no only at my homenetwork

It's clearly a networking issue, and my prime suspect is your router's settings.
Do this for a trial: Completely erase all settings in your router (hold down the reset button for 10 seconds, or whatever). Then do just the bare minimum setup in the router's settings, no password, no IP reservation, no port forwarding, no nothing. Then, see if the problem persists.

Yeah, something's fishy. I'm guessing he swapped his physical router for another one, but set up all kinds of routing features which are messing with his phone.
If he comes back and says he's only got 1 computer and 1 phone, and never changed any settings but the SSID and added WPA, then I'm out of ideas.

hi
first of all i didnt do any configuring with the router exepat a pasword
at first i used what the company calles a HOTBOks (the name of the internet company is hot) it is a a device which is a phone line + modem + router
i thougt maybe the problem came from there, so i canceld the built in wiifii any did it "private" by conacting to a EDIMAX router - only put the CD install ps and thats it - didnt work
i changed the ISP for my home - still didnt work....
at my gf house, she has the same hotbok and no problems whatsoever.....

Take your hotboks or router to your girlfriend's house, and see if your phone works there. If not, then the problem is in your house/router.

i dont think it is posibble to do that......
i have no idea what to do - only going back to the very limited world of iphone bahhhh

My money's on your gateway/router being the source of the problem.

"turning on wifi will disable the hotspot" pop up

NK4 Stock rooted, I am using the built in hotspot, I keep getting the pop up saying that turning on wifi will disable hotspot. I can't get it to stop popping up I'm not trying to turn the wifi on, it is turning it on by itself. I have disabled connection optimizer and smart network switch, don't know what else to do. Any advice? Thanks.

This is your best bet

1. You should update to OA6 because NK4 was leaked. 2. This happens on stock ROMS and not just Samsung. Happens on HTC, LG and probably others. But... as @metalfan78 said the link he posted will be your best bet

Hi Comet, were you able to get rid of this? It drives me CRAZY because there are two different messages:
"Enabling Hotspot will turn off Wifi" with the options "CANCEL" or "OK" and you have to hit "OK"...
then..
"Turning on Wi-Fi will disable Hotspot" with the options "CANCEL" or "OK" and you have to hit "CANCEL"
And my muscle-memory is always trying to tap it without reading it and I have to sit there and say, okay, is my hotspot on, yes, hit cancel... ARG
I was going to dig into the method linked to by elwood, but I have to dust off the old Windows computer, wherever it is.

did anyone ever figure out this issue? i am on stock SM-N910P, OG5 and i get the same thing like every 5 seconds

Does anyone have a fix for this i'm on GO5 latest firmware on note 4

Hi I have solved this issue, please thank me if this fixes your problem: Solution found! It hasn't come up for ten minutes and it was popping up every 60 seconds before. Go to settings and search for connections optimizer. Disable both boxes. Make sure you have all 3 boxes checked in advanced wireless settings as well, or it will still come up. That is correct, it doesn't make sense, but those 3 boxes that allow wifi to scan in background, notify of networks, and smart switch need to stay ON. Strangely my 4g LTE speed got much higher when I turned off connections optimizer as well.

It will work for 5 minutes. Then it will come back again. I have tried different ways and nothing can do it

I'm getting this as well. I've even watched the WiFi toggle and seen it come on and then quickly shut off. I'm gonna use app ops to hopefully pin point the service causing it.

Was working on other things. Haven't started it. Shouldn't take long once I start it though. I'm trying to log package names of the apps which are trying to turn it on. I'll probably get the module done today.

I found it to be the itsonservice found inside the /carrier directory. Don't delete the entire carrier directory though :3 just the app directory that holds the apk for itson.
I now have to fix my phone. yay. xD

So I restored my backup of /carrier. It rebooted and reinstalled itson -.-

Delete the following:
/carrier/itson
/carrier/itson_enabled
/system/vendor/itson
/system/priv-app/<anything with "itson" in its name>
Then you should be good. I also think the stock kernel holds stuff about it from my Googling.

Thank you. I wasn't too comfortable with deleting right out the gate, so i renamed the files and folders you mentioned above. Once I rebooted, I haven't seen the prompt since. (A good 6+ hrs ago.)
Thanks again for sharing., this was driving me crazy.

I was playing around with the bands my phone is connecting to and stumbled upon Itson, by accident. If you have or know your MLS code press ##3282# ,click edit and scroll down to Itson. Disable it and you won't have to delete or rename the files. I noticed that since I had already renamed mine, the system has it marked as disabled by default. (Probably because it can't find the files. Hah!)

I'm glad you guys figures it out, thank you!!!

So in order to use this fix though you must be rooted?

[Guide] Ultimate Pokemon Go GPS Spoof Setup

Everyone knows about Pokemon GO; most will know about spoofing your GPS too.
I have spent quite a while tweaking the more generic guides available online to get a setup that is perfect for my LG G3 and think it would help to share my findings.
Requirements
Rooted Android Device (Any ROM)
Disable Service
Pokemon GO
FakeGPS (£2.99)
/system/app mover
Instructions
Open DisableService
Go to System
Search for "Location"
Select "Fused Location" & disable "FusedLocatonService"
Select "LocationServices" & disable everything inside (This might not be present on AOSP roms)
This will stop the phone jumping between your actual and spoofed location.
Install FakeGPS as a System App
Using /system/app mover, simply select FakeGPS and move it to system followed by a reboot.
Open FakeGPS
Enable "Expert Mode"
Disable "Enable auto close"
Select a location
Open Pokemon GO and see your location has changed!
Tips
Don't change your location to be very far away from your initial location, doing this may result in a softban
Don't frequently jump between many locations, find a good spot and stick to it for a bit, close the app and then chamnge location
You can emulate walking by selecting "Move around fake location" in FakeGPS, this will help eggs hatch (Currently testing this myself, when I have good figures I will post my results)
If you get a softban, leave your location where it is and try again in an hour or so (normally 1-3 hours)

Reserved

Thank you for this guide mate! But my location is always changing from real to spoofed one. I neither have 'location' nor 'LocationService' in DisableService. Any advise? Any Further nformation required?
Gesendet von meinem SM-G935F mit Tapatalk

I work tech support and I can't play at work because the town I work in is so small. I try to make it go to a town over which is where I live which has all the gyms and my saved locations for pokestops to do XP runs but when I do that it won't let me do anything at that location. It doesn't snap me back and fourth it just doesn't work pokemon run and no pokestops work. Doesn't seem like a ban or a Softbank because once I move it closer it works fine. For example if I wanted to move to new York for the night you're saying I have to wait for an hour in that location to get it going?

Go to your location settings and turn off wifi scanning and go GPS only see if that helps

I know this may sound basic but have you disabled FusedLocation followed by a reboot? It won't work correctly until you reboot.

Changing location appears to be proportional i.e. the further you move from your original location, the longer you may have to wait before being able to interact with the map.
For example, if I move a three miles or so, I can use pokestops straight away. If I jump cities, without closing the app fully, I may have to wait or at the very least restart the game.
This is what I would do in your situation.
Force stop Pokemon GO
Clear cache
Set locaton to wherever you wish to grind XP/items
Open the game
Let me know how it goes; send me a pm if you get stuck

Do you mean you don't have FusedLocation? Check again because that's an integral part of your device so should be there.

I think these two services are the only location services (searched for "location", "Standort"[German])
But there's no other service like you were describing which prevents from snapping back to my real location.

Try changing accuracy to 10, update interval to 50 (in FakeGPS)

Try wiping cache/dalvik in recovery
Connect phone to usb when booting and see if you have abd access

though you say a boot loop, how long have you actually left it to run "optimizing apps"?

You'll need to find out how to disable FusedLocation on your phone. I am running pure AOSP and have FusedLocation as a service; disabling that will resolve the problem.
Take a screenshot of DisableService when searching "Location"

I did "wiping cache/dalvik" - After that my phone booted and moved into the "Optimizing system..." thing
"though you say a boot loop, how long have you actually left it to run "optimizing apps"?" - Like a hour.

The phone is not listed under adb devices.

I fixed it with a factory reset, it wasn't the fault of the app mover, I don't really know why.

I have a G930U so that option may be called a different name. The description says "Download large files faster by using wi-fi and LTE networks at the same time." Sounds a lot like what you're calling "smart switch". I leave it off, but just turned it on and it shows a LTE icon above the wi-fi signal icon. The LTE is grayed out but constantly visible. It may light up when in use. It doesn't flicker though, so probably not your issue.

Yeah I've turned off about any extra service I can find other than just wifi and data. I rebooted and it's fine right now, but I guarantee the issue will return a little later today until I reboot again. Battery drain and "cell standby" drain is definitely higher while the flicker is occurring.

Perhaps an app that bypasses wi-fi? Hate to suggest disabling one by one, but don't know how else to pin it down. Is there an app that shows resource use by app? Extra battery drain would definitely be aggravating.

I don't have any unusual apps. I really think it's the OS but I can't nail down specifically what service. Highest use is the system. But while the issue is active, Cell Standby becomes a higher drain. Is it possible one of the bloatware services I disabled could cause the issue? The guy in the Reddit thread suggested turning off Aggressive Doze in Greenify, so I'll give that a try first.

Could it be due to something you disabled? Perhaps. You could try enabling everything again and see if that solves it. Since my phone doesn't have the issue it's probably not a generic Samsung OS issue, but might be due to something AT&T did. Keep us posted.

Yeah, the only other people I've heard with this issue at AT&T customers. Good that it's probably not a generic OS problem, but bad because that limits the pool of people who might have the same issue, fix it, and share the fix
I will post an update here in a day or two.

Backup and reset to factory

Messaging app trying to send an MMS message? If so, make sure your APN settings are correct for that.
Not too many cases where it should be activating cell data briefly while on WiFi.

OK disabling Greenify aggressive doze fixed it. Weird.

How not to connect to network

How do I set the phone to NOT connect to a network unless I need to?
Now it connects to that network automatically.
I [edit] do not want to "forget" the network. I do not want not switch off the network. I must leave ON the phone's network radio.
-----------------
I installed a video dashcam recorder in my car and it broadcasts a network (cannot be switched off) that SOMETIMES I need to access to setup, configure, view recorded videos, etc.. This network does not access the internet.
When I drive I need my phone's DATA connection to access the internet (WhatsApp, etc.) and I need my phone's network radio to be on to help google maps and other apps locate my position.
If I leave my phone's radio on, my phone connects to my dashcam network and cannot access internet blocking WhatsApp and other apps.
Can anyone help me, pls? I thank in advance your time/expertise.

Would resetting the Network Settings help?
Settings-> System-> Reset-> Network Reset
So it ends up clearing all saved Wifi networks. Sounds like your Saved List might be corrupt. You should always be able to "forget" a network

I apologize. I did not explain clearly and I will edit my post.
I do not WANT to forget the network because I want to use it sometimes to accesses a device (but this device does not access internet).
When I don't need to access the device I prefer to connect to the internet and, therefore, I need to use the phone carrier data plan. But to improve google maps I also need to keep the WiFi radio on.

For that, you don't actually need WiFi on - Location services has access to the wifi radio for scanning assuming you haven't disabled that in location settings.

Yes, exactly. That is why I don't want to turn off or disable the WiFi radio.
So, if I don't disable the WiFi radio, how do I set the phone to only connect to that network when I need and not automatically? How do I set it up in such s way that when I step into the car it does not connect automatically to that network (that has no intent access)?

Turn off wifi in settings or with the quick toggle. Make sure scanning is enabled under settings / security & location (or the equivalent in EMUI, I don't remember where it is as I've only run EMUI momentarily over the past several months).
The radio itself will not be completely powered down - it'll still be available for location services to use for scanning.

I was not aware that google maps will not be affected by toggling off WiFi. Thank you for taking your time to help me.
While it's good news that I can google off Wi-Fi for google maps, I keep forgetting my Wi-Fi on (I have the habit to keep it on at all times) so I keep loosing all WhatsApp/Viber messages and calls.
So is there absolutely no way to NOT connect automatically to a network if the radio is ON?

I'm not sure there's a way to say that... Most of the time, personally, I end up turning wifi off, as it's a real pain when you're moving through access points (and the device insists on holding the connection), so unless I know I'm going to have a stable connection and I'm staying in the same place for a while, I almost universally leave it off...

I appreciate that your circumstances are different but I always have Wi-Fi (work/home) and I don't move a lot so it's always on.
Is there absolutely no way to avoid automatic network connection when WiFi is on?

use wifi plus

Try a WiFi prioritising software... And give lowest priority to the one you don't want to use. Had one of those with kitkat and worked flawlessly

This app will not install on android 8.0 because it's an unknown source.
I then googled now to install unknown sources but my Huawei Mate 9 has different menu options from all googled step by step explanations how to install apps from unknown sources. Huawei Mate 9 android 8.0 lacks the bottom box "special access"
I attach 2 images of the 2 stumbling blocks.
Can you suggest a different Apk or how to install apps from unknown sources?

First of all thank you for the advice add time.
I installed 3 different prioritizing apps but none had the option to prioritize data connection over WiFi or the option to exclude a specific network when the phone WiFi radio is ON.

Thank you! Looks like this app has the option that I need!
It's been scanning for networks for 10 minutes already (preferred WiFi Networks is still scanning) but I guess that the first time it takes a bit longer. As soon as it's ready I will test it!

The app keeps scanning for preferred WiFi Networks endlessly. I wrote to tech support and they will compile a specific code for my Huawei Mate 9 running Android 8.0. Apparently WiFi Switcher does not run on my device!
