Pandora stops playing after 5-8 minutes with screen off

I don't know if anyone has had this problem before or not but when I play pandora, siriusxm, or any internet streaming service it will stop playing after about 5-8 minutes. it seems like the phone is going to sleep and turns off the data even though I have the enable always-on mobile data checked. is there another setting that I missed or is this an ongoing problem.
edit: I should mention that I do not have it charging when this happens, and it is only when I stream over mobile data and it doesn't matter if I have the enable always-on mobile data checked or not.

I have this problem too

Mine does not do this
I listen to Pandora all of the time to and from work and never have this happen, but I will make a point of trying to cause it and see what it takes to fix it.

Do you maybe have a task killer that's the culprit?

do you have "Enable always-on mobile data" unchecked to save battery? When i did this I experienced similar issues.

as I stated in my first post I have the enable always-on mobile data checked, so it should be always on(theoretically). I have a task killer but it isn't set to auto kill anything when the screen turns off, and the app doesn't close or anything, it just loses data connection about 5-8 minutes after the screen turns off all I have to do is turn the power back on and it will start playing after about 10-20 seconds but that can get annoying.

Are you using wifi? If so I believe by default the phone turns off wifi if the screen if off after 10 minutes or so. That would cause it.

my problem is specific to mobile data, I don't use wifi much so I don't know if the same problem exist while using wifi

I have always on mobile data off and I don't experience these issues.

I used Pandora all the the time too, no problem. You aren't going to want to hear this, but, I'd factory reset, put Pandora on ONLY, and try it. If OK, load one or 2 programs at a time until you find the culprit, and do the same for changing settings, change them slowly between testing.

I have this EXACT same problem too. I will be using Pandora on mobile data at the gym and after 4 or 5 songs the audio will stop. If I turn the screen on, the audio starts again. Pandora is still open so it is not an auto-kill thing. I am not using WiFi. I've gotten used to it but it is annoying.

It's definitely enable always on data.

I reenabled data always on. Haven't had a chance to try it just yet though.

2 thoughts - If you are using the audio plug, try a different one. I went through 3 as some would wiggle a little and hit the mic contact and cause the phone to go nuts, Pandora, media player, voice dialer... all started working.
Second - I received an update notice for Pandora yesterday. Try it.

yes, happens to me also. everyone here saying hard reset, or they don't have the problem, you're not understanding him. It's a known issue for HTC phones in general. when their screens go off they pretty much stop working about 75%.
I've had the tp, tp2, and incredible and everyone of them had this issue.
If you get the program called Smart Alarm Clock, it even says it's a firmware problem that when you turn the screen off sleep tracking will halt. (sleep tracking uses the G-sensor)

i'm telling you, i had the exact problem, as soon as i rechecked "enable always on mobile data", problem fixed.

well I hard reset my phone (in between rooting the thing) and I haven't had the problem come back yet. fingers crossed.

me and my room mate have this same problem with both of our Atrices. Neither one of ours has the "always on mobile data" option anywhere on the phone... what do we do?

seems simple enough, go find you a rooted incredible.....
jk
do you have a task killer on yours at all?
Do you use any kind of "battery saver" software?

[Q] WiFi off when screen is off?

Anyone notice that when you have the screen off and wifi on your downloads from the browser dont continue to download? I have the same issue with dropbox exporting as well. I have the wifi sleep policy to always on (never turn off) in the settings too. Any idea?

I have noticed that also. It doesn't make sense to have the screen on the whole time you are downloading a large file though. I'm assuming the wifi never sleep setting is not working.

Did it work?

heavy power saving kicks in when the screen is off, so transfers pretty much drop dead. You'll have to keep the screen on when transferring large files

I wish there was a way to stop this from happening. Sometimes I transfer a bunch of music from my NAS over SMB. It takes a little time. It's a pain in the rear to keep touching the screen to make sure the transfer doesn't die. It seems like "Keep wifi on during sleep" policy should fix that but it doesn't. What exactly does that setting do if not that?
My guess is that maybe it would be nice if the file explorer apps had a setting to "Keep phone awake while transferring files". I'll have to start looking into that to see if I'm just missing that setting.

I dont know why the wifi sleep policy setting doesnt work for some people. But mine does, wifi stays on with the screen off for hours. I often download large files and it works just fine leaving it idle with screen off.

sorry to hijack - slightly off topic but i lose signal when the screen is off
any thoughts on that also guys?

Me too. Noticed randomly that the WiFi started turning off when the screen was off, and it seems the sleep policy was changed automatically somehow... but I switched it back and I haven't had any issues since.

Mine was set correctly. It appears changing it, exiting settings, then re-enabling it may have fixed it.

Wifi Fixer by Zanshin-g1 once you download this app it will monitor your wifi real time and get rid of any connectivity issues when they are about to strike. I found it to be the perfect app to solve wifi issues. I hope it helps you aswell.

You could use an app like Tasker to set the display timeout to n hours if your file manager app is on the foreground. Add an exit task to reset it to default timeout if the file manager is no longer on the foreground.

[SOLVED] Wi-Fi won't turn off in sleep [post-JB update]: how to diagnose?

SOLVED: See this follow-up post; it's one of those 7 things!
Hi! After updating to LK3 (the stock 4.1.1 JB update), my Wi-Fi stays on even after I put the phone to sleep (contrary to the setting "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep: never (increases data usage)." See attached pics.
I have disabled thus far:
1) Google Now
2) Location Services "Use wireless networks" and "Location and Google search"
3) Location reporting: now set to "Location manually selected on the map"
4) Latitude location sharing
5) Location history
6) Automatic check-ins
7) Check-in notifications
Basically, everything I could find related to location. But, alas, that battery screenshot is after I changed all of those! Wi-Fi isn't on constantly, but it stays on way longer than just when I have the screen on.
What are my options here? How should I diagnose this sucker? I ran BetterBatteryStats, but they said it looked fine with my log (some apps, through the ambiguous "Alarms" partial wakelock, were the largest cause, but only accounted for 3.6% of the time).
I'm pretty sure this is a post-update problem, as before, whenever I unlocked my phone, I got the little notification, "Connected to #SSIDName#" and the Wi-Fi icon would obviously, then, be off for the first few seconds (and when I opened my browser too quickly, I'd get a "Page cannot be displayed" error).
Thanks in advance, I'll take any ideas/thoughts/help/sympathy/antipathy you can offer,

Same problem here. Before the update, it was doubletwist air sync forcing wifi on at all times. That's disabled now, so I have not clue. Hopefully somebody figures it out. Mine isn't even intermittent, it's always on, and I have the same setting as you.

So, I left my phone alone for the night and these programs used Wi-Fi while the screen was off:
Do you have any of the same apps? I'm going to uninstall Google+, Facebook, and GroupMe today and run this again tomorrow. But, looking at pure download amount, it's something on the OS....
If you're interested in doing the same, the app is My Data Manager ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/...e&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=my+data+manager).
Basically, install the app, but do not open it. When you're ready for bed (or any extended period of not using it), open it, and then minimize it (runs in the background). Hit your sleep button immediately (we don't want to capture anything of the phone when the screen is on). Then, when you wake up/need to use it, wake it up, immediately disable Wi-Fi (again, no artifacts from when the phone was awake), take a look at My Data Apps (2nd page), Wi-Fi.
I'll let you know how my second attempt goes.

The only one I have is Facebook, but yeah it definitely looks like the os.

Well! Maybe I should have given it a little while longer, as it seems to be quite a bit better!
It still stays on longer than the screen, but now at least it shuts off once in a while, haha. It was either uninstalling Facebook, gMail, or GroupMe OR disabling one of those earlier settings...it's still not totally fixed, though. I found the Network Counter app which seems to be a little more specific, so we'll see how it goes tonight,
~Ibrahim~

Hmm this is what mine looks like from today. Wifi didn't go off until I did it manually.

Have you disabled the location stuff? Those are what really helped me. I'm off to run the overnight test, with the new app!

i am having the same issues. my wifi since the jelly bean update has been always on.... the wifi bar in battery settings is solid and has never been off.... so frustrating.

Try "Green Power" app.
I use it to disable both wifi and data 20secs after screen off.
There is a Whitelist and a minimum threshold trigger too.
It works PERFECT in ICS.
At bedtime, I get .5% hr battery drain or better.

Awesome, thanks for the info! Exactly, I don't mind Google Now using the Wi-Fi, but then that opens the door for everything to use the Wi-Fi which will kill the battery when I get back to work.
Network Manager didn't work for some reason, so I tried Data Detective, but the stupid app consumed 90% of the Wi-Fi last night!
The only thing I've heard against battery savers is that they force apps to not use the data, and then they keep asking (creating overhead). I wouldn't have believed it out right except it came from the developer of BetterBatteryStats. But your battery loss isn't bad at all (overnight I average 0.4%/hour with the screen off).

I slightly edited my statement. I get .5% hr or better.
Curious...if you average .4%...
- what rom?
- and what is your lowest cpu freq?
- and is that with data and wifi off?

Haha, right, I thought that's what you meant!
I'm on stock AT&T. Everything is stock; CPU Spy tells me 384Mhz. WiFi on, data off.

Why don't you guys disable it in settings? Open Wi-Fi in settings. Click menu button. Click advanced. Turn off Wi-Fi during sleep. Ta-da!

Yeah, that's an alternative...but if I have a setting that's supposed to turn it off when it goes to sleep, I'd like it to do that.

I have the same issue, wi-fi is always on unless I turn it off.

I'm happy. It's one of those location settings in the first post that caused the locks! Let me know if it works for you guys,

Assuming you are on 5.0.1 Lollipop, did you factory reset after the update? Many people have experienced problems after the update but have seen factory resets correct problems.
While on the wifi settings page (the screen where you find the list of wifi networks available), touch the three dots in the upper right corner and select Advanced.
Uncheck (turn off) the option to "Always allow scanning"
You can also turn off the first option of Network notification to stop it from trying to find open networks in range.
hope this helps.

Thanks for the response,
I am on 5.0.1, I did factory reset twice, Cleaned cache multiple times
"Always allow scanning" is already turned off
Network notification is also turned off (unchecked)
Funny thing is , I put the phone in Airplane mode (wifi off too) for a while and battery graph still shows WiFi on and phone awake

The Wifi thing is a lollipop bug.
It'll always show as on even when it's off.

Weird... mine does.
Are you running any special apps (like battery savers)? What Wifi settings are you using? Is Power Saving Mode on or off?
I'm curious now. But yeah, several Note 4 users on the non-ATT Note 4 thread are reporting this issue as well and so were many Nexus users.

No battery savers or apps designed to conserve battery; power saving modes off. All I did to wifi settings was turn off scanning and notification. I have a long list of apps that I disabled since I knew for sure I wasn't going to use them. I screenshot them below if you're interested.

Ok I was wrong. My phone doesn't show wifi always on. I kept wifi off all day and it showed correctly. BUT I think it did show as always awake on the previous Lollipop update. (I'm on COC4 now).
And btw, I have all the same apps turned off as you except Samsung Push Service because it seems to not sync S Note with my Samsung account (I have a Note tablet too) and Amazon because I use it.

Update
I did some further digging , based on the amount of battery used.
1. Cerberus App was using a lot of battery, so uninstalled and re-installed it... the Constant AWAKE problem is gone
waiting a few days to make sure that problem was really gone
2. Uninstalled "LLAMA" app and now WiFi does NOT show as always on

Having the exact same issue on my galaxy s6. Just turned on clash after picking up the phone and the resolution looks like as compared to my joke Moto X (2013). It's worst when zoomed way out and fine when zoomed way in. Maggie everywhere. What the **** supercell.

[Q] Wifi disconnecting upon screen sleep

Hi guys/gals....
I've had this problem for MONTHS now and just can't figure out what is causing it. I stream music from my M7 pretty regularly and have noticed the wifi connection seems to cut in/out quite often. In fact multiple times a minute... just keeps loosing the stream and will sometimes start back up on it's on continuing where it left off. Sometimes not at all...
I noticed that this seems to just happen right after the screen goes to sleep... If I turn the screen back on, or activate the setting in developer mode to keep screen on while plugged in, the wifi signal is fine.
I already have the Settings > Wifi > Menu > Advanced > "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" turned on ALWAYS... didn't help. I even reset my phone and it still has issues.
Any ideas?

What apps are you using to stream music? Also, what version of android are you on?

Running Lollipop 5.0.2

Oh no. I think this is related to the recent Lollipop issues everyone has been having. I haven't updated yet. Maybe try uninstalling the apps, wiping cache, then reinstall apps?
