I am disabled and stream my church's live services. Inevitably though, I get notifications that stop the stream. I can't turn off wifi and still get the stream though. Is there some way to manually turn off all notifications or maybe an app that will halt all notifications on a set schedule or while video is streaming? Ultimately, something that could halt notifications if Netflix or Hulu is running or during scheduled hours would be the best situation.
You shouldn't lose wifi when turning off notifications in the task bar. I have mine off all the time. The notifications still appear when i go to the taskbar, but they don't pop up and interrupt what I'm doing.

I'm an idiot! LOL Not used to the differences in settings and never noticed that option before. Is there anything that will automatically turn it on or off based on time or running app?
Not that I'm aware of. And no worries, it happens. Lol.

I've noticed that when I set notifications to off, I am still getting popup alerts from apps like Friendcaster Pro that halt video playback. Looks like the solution won't be that easy after all.

I'm noticing that my GS3 is almost ALWAYS downloading something according to the data activity icon in the header. The down signal is just about ALWAYS on. I've removed the home screen crap that was on with the exception of the default clock/weather widget, which is set to refresh once an hour. All the t-mobile widgets, flipboard widgets, s-voice widgets... I trashed them off the various home screens.
My email app is set for push....?
I'm little confused and wondering if this constant downloading is what is eating my battery. You can almost HEAR the sucking sound of the battery drain :crying:
This is bad. And I need some help. Is there a way to see what is accessing the data ?
It's been hours and my wifi or mobile data is continuous up/down on.
Battery down to 50% after just a few hours.
Something is doing "something" in the background, and I don't know what.

Using Network Manager, I've isolated it to K9 MAIL... was draining the battery LIKE CRAZY. Had to go to settings and set sync to never - now I'm not being alerted to emails.
So I want to have Pandora play continuously, as it currently stops when the screen locks. After some searching, it looks like the fix is to keep mobile data always on.
However 'Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Enable always-on mobile data' DOES NOT EXIST. What gives?
From what I can tell by doing a simple Google image search, the only phones to even have this option are pre ICS/JB.
If the option has been removed, is there any way to bring it back? If not, can I do anything else to have Pandora keep playing after the screen has been locked for a few minutes? I don't have any battery optimization apps (JuiceDefender, etc) installed that could be causing data to drop.
I'm on a GSM Galaxy Nexus (T-Mobile) running 4.1.1 rooted.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advanced.
Pandora stops playing when your screen turns off? That seems more like a network throttling problem. Once your screen turns off it throttles down to 2g? I've never had a problem with pandora not playing when the screen locks.
Yeah, the next song wont load.
I don't think it's throttling down to 2G, I'm pretty sure it just disconnects from mobile data.
I'm not the only one with this issue (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=698172)
That is very strange.
Instead of trying to set data to always on, try setting screen on to always on.

Data always on while the screen is off is the default. There is no settings option to control what happens with mobile data when the screen is off. There's an option for WiFi, but not mobile data.
Are you sure you don't have an app that's turning off your mobile data when your screen is off? That's usually what's happening in these situations.
Could also be an issue with Pandora. Have you tried other apps and experienced the same thing? Also, you'd be able to see the data being turned back on when you turn the screen on (it takes several seconds). If you turn the screen on and it shows its connected in the status bar, the data isn't turning off and you're having another problem.

I'm sure there is no other app that's controlling this. I did however mess around with multiple 'toggle' apps when I first got the phone. Maybe I toggled the wrong thing. Would the setting stick even through an un-install of the app?
When I unlock the phone sometimes, the internet icon in the status bar is grey. It turns to blue shortly after. From what I have read though, this is normal to some extent, right?
I think you're right about this being a Pandora issue. I just realized that I use the default music app to stream all of my music through Google Play with the phone locked for hours on end and no issues at all.
Not sure how to fix Pandora though. The songs stop playing even on wifi when I lock the screen. I even have 'Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep' set to Always. I'd hate to not use Pandora much because of this, since I just find out how to get unlimited skips and no ads.

Yeah I could do that when plugged in and charging, but I don't want to kill battery when not.
Are you under clocking your device?
You could try the WIFI high performance widget when you are on WiFi, but I don't know if will help when on mobile data.
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
It's not the app. Been using Pandora since I got the Gnex with no issues. Do you have some battery saving app? That may turn off data when screen is off...
Edit: Also AOKP has the auto data off in settings I believe.. are you on stock rooted ROM? I saw you say you have no app but something is turning off your data.

WIFI high performance totally works! Thank you. The strange thing is even though the app doesn't work over mobile data (obviously), Pandora magically started working with the phone locked on mobile data. I even uninstalled the app, and it still works over. However, it won't continue streaming for me on wifi unless I enable WIFI high performance. Not a huge deal, I'm just happy it works.

I'm rooted on the stock ROM and I'm sure nothing is turning it off. It actually magically works now over mobile date, but I still have issues on wifi unless I enable the widget mentioned above. Yours streams over wifi no problem?
Hi.
I don't have any problems like wifi dropping while browsing at my home, college or gf's house.
But when i turn off the screen after a while (can be 5 minutes or 30 minutes) my downloads stop (big games from the store, torrents,etc). They resume after i turn on the screen.
Also messages received from email and messengers are unpredictable. For example, while writing this post, i received a notification from hangouts on my N7 5 minutes after i received on my S3. Other times i only get the notification if i turn on the screen.
The battery status and wifi analyzer show me wifi was always on.
On wifi settings, keep wifi on during sleep option is always on, like i want.
This happens on 3 different locations with 3 different isp's.
This doesn't happen with my other 2 android devices.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Let us know if you figure it out.

Did you read my post?
That option is always on like I wrote and highlighted in bold.
It seems that for a few minutes it ignores the option to keep wifi on. Any ideas?
Sounds like the N4 issue to me. Try one of the tips from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072930
I'm happy with the Note 5 but I've noticed a problem with it I cannot figure out.
It seems there's some sort of application that keeps causing a "notification". I've made the default notification sound to (none) which stops it (since I can't hear it ) but whenever I'm at work if I put the phone on vibrate or mute the phone every couple of minutes will vibrate. I go to look at it and there's nothing in the notification shade. Where do I go from here to try and figure out what application is causing this? I get good battery life with the device. I don't see any crazy tasks eating up resources looking under battery settings.
What systematic way is best to try and hone this down?
If u have Greenify installed watch it close apps when screen is off. Screen will flash on lightly.

Check out this thread, this happened to me as well, until I remembered the accessibility setting:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-note5/help/random-default-notification-t3234394
Yes this was the fix, it drove me N U T S for well over an hour.
I got my Pixel XL (unbranded) earlier this month, and as much as I wanted to love the phone, two consistent issues keep happening which are making me despise it.
The first issue is my phone refuses to retrieve Push notifications while it's on standby. I will get no notifications from any app until I physically wake my phone. As soon as I pick the phone up and turn on the screen, BAM, a billion notifications. This is true even for Google apps like gmail and hangouts. I have seen lots of threads on this subject dating back years for various devices, and none of the 'solutions' fixes my situation. Battery Optimization isn't on, and even when I toggle it on and exempt all my apps, it still does it. IPv6 is disabled at my home network level. I disabled the Connectivity service. I enabled notification importances and set all apps to high. I turned off WiFi while on standby. I begrudgingly did a full reset. Nothing has worked.
The second issue is related to bluetooth. I cannot get it to stay on. It turns itself off whenever it feels like, so whenever I get into my truck and expect my GPM to start playing, all I get is "The bluetooth stereo device is not connected." I take pride in my attentive driving, which means if I forget to reconnect everything while still in my driveway, I now have to pull over just to get some tunes playing. Getting infuriating...
So, I'm at my last nerve. I turn to the Gods of XDA for your advice before I return this thing. Is there any fix to all this? I'm not opposed to rooting or using custom images. I just want my phone to work.
Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.
Google is aware if the Bluetooth issue, the Feb update caused it. They are working on a fix.
I got nothing on the notifications. Gmail doing that is quite common and goes beyond the Pixel. Never heard of anyone having issues with other apps.
You running any doze programs or task killers?

It wasn't the Feb update. Bluetooth got bugged in the 7.1.1 update for me personally.

No, the phone is pretty much stock. I have Skype and a couple games on it, but nothing that would interfere with network connectivity while on standby. Just to be sure, Doze is Battery Optimization in the settings, right? It's default to off, but after experiencing issues, I turned it on and exempted all apps. Didn't work, so I turned it off again.
I've never had this issue with GMail. The latest I have ever been notified of a new email from gmail is about 5 mins. Now, I go hours without them up until I wake my phone. And again, this is for all apps that have actual push notifications. I'll pick up my phone, then get a slew of new emails, skype messages, hangouts, etc...
