I always get the notification " location not found " too. Other users have reported this too. My suspect is that the stock weather is triggering it.

It is again caused by app stopped running ,..
when ppl are tend to close all apps even weather gets closed and therefore not getting any location..
Some apps restarts auto some of them not
EDIT :
Guys and make sure u have set always location scanning even when wifi is off..
Yes, It is weird that this option is in wifi settings but make sure it is on
Don't think it is scanning always for wifi that it refreshes every 10 secs. to check avail. access points(routers) .. no it is for mobile data networks..

Find my phone - Map it

Is there a way to use Map it function on phone without having Location on all the time?
Having Location on drains battery pretty much and having Map it function available is important.
Can't have one without the other... just make sure you untick the "Get results faster" if you wanna save on the battery.
Is it just me or Find my phone doesn't work without "Get results faster"?
Using Omnia 7
Interesting...first I never managed to open the page to ring, erase or find the phone. I always get that "ooops..." error. Also, once I checked that option to get it faster and closed the settings it disappeared and now I only have on/off switch in find my phone settings? Does anyone else have those issues? BTW, I have an Omnia 7 with Mango.

I couldn't get it to work correctly without the it on. By the same token, I haven't really seen any adverse affects on battery life with the option turned on.
I can't make that thing to work. Map would show position of my phone from 3-4 hours ago. When I click on "Refresh" says it can't find the phone at this moment. I'm not sure how this works but problem might be with my data plan.

Okay, so it takes 1 minute to find some satellite, then the voice "in use" shows me around 3-5 satellites for 10 seconds, then go to 0.. Sometimes it doesn't show any satellite in "In view"... so i can say that is very unstable.. to be honest a can't even say it works..

I've had such an issue with my gf's tf300 after flashing a custom rom (On Jelly Bean) and the issue was caused by a wrong gps.conf file. You are on stock firmware or custom.? Also i'm using an app called FasterGPS (you can get it from market) and is very usefull because it let you configure the GPS even more (but you need root)... Give it a try and see if it works for you too.

Glad to hear, anyway you should stil try FasterGPS app and set the a-gps data to Europe/Italy cause it might increase the satellites fix .

Marketplace Error 80070057 WP7.8

Updated my HTC radar to Windows Phone 7.8 last night.
Unfortunately, I have a small issue, luckily not a show stopper. When I looking at applications in the Market Place and swipe to the 'Related Details' screen I get a MarketPlace error message with code 80070057. Anyone else experiencing this?

Same on HTC HD7, "Related Details" it should be from the update.
Me too with Lg quantum 7.8
I have the same problem with my HTC 7 trophy, accesing the related tab in any application produces error 80070057 (I have UK marketplace)
It didn't happen before the update to 7.8 , any ideas???
Hi guys. The error is fixed on my quantum. I didn't nothing. I think that error is the server side. Check again.
Yes they fix it today the error was from the marketplace.

Connect the phone to your power for charging, reboot the phone, connect to your wifi (or cellural data), change lockscreen timeout to "never" , open xbox games, tap "refresh" in the menu below and leave it there for 10-15 minutes.....
It should be ok after the 15 minutes, if not, leave it for more time (1-2 hours) , it will eventually connect to the marketplace and fix itself.....
(I fixed both my phones this way!)....

Thanks it worked for me.
Only problem I observed was that for lock screen I didn't had option "never", so I set for maximum option of 5 minutes. I kept phone running with XBox Refresh. After sometime I checked Marketplace and error was gone.
I faced another issue. Marketplace was displaying updates available for few apps. But if I selected update, it was giving error again. That issue also got solved now.

When coming home, phone does only connect to wifi after the screen has turned on

Hi,
I am on C432B170. Whenever I change locations (physically), the phone only connects to the available (and already saved) wifi after I turn the screen on. It then keeps connection indefinitely. I also double checked, it is set to keep the connection always.
Or am I too impatient (it even happens after being within wifi range for 15 minutes)? What is the scan interval when the screen is off? Is there maybe a way to decrease that interval?
Thank you in advance

My Mate 8 connects immediately after I enter home while keeping the phone in my pocket without turning the screen on.
So there must definitely be a problem in your settings, or maybe a problem in your wireless router configuration.
If possible check your Mate 8 behavior with another wifi network.
In fact, it happens also at work. and my Mate S (with Android 5) connected immediately.
Do you have wifi+ enabled or disabled?

Not enabled, it might creates problems keeping the phone always on mobile data connection instead of switching to wifi..

How are you sure that wifi connection is not active?
Only because you can't see the wifi symbol on the status bar as soon as you turn the screen on (it might be due only to a delay in the screen refresh), or have you checked otherwise?

I checked the dhcp log in the router and it also matches the time of when I activated the display
What battery saving plan are you using?
And check advanced wifi settings: always active on standby is enabled?

Performance
Always active (as stated in initial post) (Battery history also shows that WIFI was on permanently)
Well, other possibilities are to delete the wifi connection and recreate it (if not already tried), and eventually perform a Mate 8 factory reset.

also known as "I got no idea, try this standard thingy". I already resetted the phone - without any third party apps I noticed the exact same bahavior
Unfortunately, if you can't solve the problem in any way, probably your Mate 8 is somehow faulty in the wifi compartment, and need to be sent to Huawei for repair...

That's like saying: "If notifications are delayed, you need to send it to huawei for repair"
If wifi works fine otherwise, it must be a software problem.

I honestly don't think so, AFAIK till now nobody here (and on the other forums I attend) has posted a similar problem with the Mate 8, so IMHO it shouldn't t be a Huawei Android 6.0 problem.
But anyway, this XDA thread now might be read by some other people who could possibly confirm the same problem, so you'll see if you're not alone...
I do have same problem on KanVIP Slim on a AL10. The wifi wont connect until i open the screen nor at home or at work, did test it with WIFI+ enabled or disabled.
Also i have noticed that the login webpage wont show when i'm connected to a public free WIFI that require web login.
Waiting for the new 172 version of the ROM to see if any improvements.

WhatsApp drains battery when no data connection

Hello guys, and girls, I tried to search for this issue I'm facing, but no luck at all and it's getting quite annoying:
At night when I go sleep I leave my phone turned on while disabling wifi and 4g connection to avoid WhatsApp notifications at night.
After installing latest B182 version in my MHA-L29 Mate9 I'm facing weird battery drains as you can see in screenshots. At first I didn't notice, but looks like WhatsApp is consuming like hell when no connection is available.
Right now I have the dual application option turned on because of 2 sim cards and had until this morning the "ignore battery opt." granted to avoid (even if it seems ok after B182) the clone app issue not making receive notifications.
Attached pictures show a massive battery drain after I went sleep and then a normal battery consumption while I turned it on.
From 21:47 till 22:47 WhatsApp is using 22mAh (normal use while connected to wifi), instead from 2:17 till 3:17 (display off and no connection) it shows a 352mAh usage!!
Any ideas? It's getting really annoying because I want leave it turned on in case of emergency but afraid I won't be able to get morning alarm ring.
Do you have a wifi search turned on even if the wifi is turned off? Same as 4G data .

Hello, I have wifi turned off and default settings, looking at screenshots it says that Wifi is on and that's strange indeed. But I see no wifi search and it doesn't make sense if it's turned off. Also it used to work fine until B182 update.
Search in settings for wifi and Bluetooth scanning and turn them off,they are in location settings.

Done, still I don't get why is causing issues when it used to be working fine. I'll let you know if it works, only thing left is understanding why whatsapp is draining battery like that.
Thank you
2 whatsapp is known to drain battery and if you disable data or wifi, whatsapp still scan to get data and that drain more battery,so better to keep data on and maybe force whatsapp to close when screen is off?just try not sure.
You could enable 'do not disturb mode (manually or automatically) so you can leave data and Wi-Fi on and not be disturbed by notifications. It's in the settings menu.

Turn wifi scanning off, leave your data on overnight and put the phone into do not disturn mode. You can close whats app manually before your go to bed. Also wifi scanning will turn on if you click ok for the propt which says google will needto use your location or what. (ofc gps is turned on) some app require it like tinder on 4g...... LOL

Yeah I know about that, but that's not an option. As I said it always used to work fine. So to me it's a strange behaviour as it is right now and it doesn't make sense at all that an app using a connection keeps draining like that when no connection is available and uses quite no battery at all when screen on and connection available.
What I mean is that I want undersand why it's not working anymore rather than looking for workarounds.

No luck, I did another hard reset + cache partition wipe and disabled wifi/bluetooth ocnnection for apps and indeed it didn't show wifi as connected when it wasn't but still getting battery drain from whatsapp, don't really get what's wrong now and why it was ok before B182

I agree, I use the automatic 'Do not disturb' setting and it works great. Highly recommended. You can whitelist some important contacts, so they can still call you.

So you agree that there is a bug. Do notizie disturb IS non an option to me
I just received a newer version of WhatsApp, it might fix some bugs. I haven't noticed a problem with WhatsApp, because I always have a dataconnection, but I trust you that there is a bug. I don't know if that bug is in the Huawei firmware or in WhatsApp. You can try to get support from WhatsApp.

Tried everything but no results, it looks like it's happening only with whatsapp, but just after installing B182, I'll install viber to check how it works with no connections to be sure to make whatsapp the culprit as not compatible with last firmware release. Kinda frustrating to be honest, I'm thinking about taking a flight and not be able to watch a movie because of battery drain
As a workaround for your flight, you may try to use the ultra battery saving mode, and add your video player as an available app in this mode. It should kill all other apps. I never tried it myself, but it may work until there is a better solution.

I'm on B182 dual sim. I only disable WiFi and 4g at night. Viber and hangout are working properly. Whatsapp is draining battery. I already sent a couple mails to whatsapp support but no answer yet. I guess it's whatsapp issue right now

Ciao, I'm using same phone Mate 9 (italian) / dual sim / B182 / double app for whatsapp and getting exactly same issue.
Never noticed until went abroad and kept phone for a while without any connection, when a connecton /wi-fi or mobile is always available the battery drain is normal, but when it has no connection available, in flight mode as well, it's getting very hot in back/upper side and draining battery superfast.
I tried to disable several things such as automatic updates for Android system or wi-fi search but no results, and I have found too that the cause is whatsapp, clearly a bug.
Only workaround working so far is going in the battery menu and stop manually whatsapp by the high battery consumption list. After this manual disable, battery consumption goes fine. In facts, although I have disabled in the whatsapp app the possibility to keep the app running in background and selected to close at screen lock, it's staying there and draining battery like hell. I also tried to cancel the whole whatsapp data and re-login but nothing changed, I still haven't tried to re-install but I guess it's pointless as well.
However this is just a workaround, I'll try to write to whatsapp support and get their comment. I tried alreasy with Huawei technical support before having so much details and their help was very general, just recommended to do battery test (battery is perfect, in normal conditions I can get 2 days duration with heavy usage) and to reset the phone (I can't see how this would help).
Keep you posted as soon as I have some news.
