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?
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.

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?
I posted this in another thread but I'm not sure if it was the correct place so I moved it here.
I'm having big battery drain problems with my phone, please see screenshots for more information.
On the screenshots you can see that my battery lasted 7 hours one day and then almost 5 hours the other. I'm not sure what caused that, there was no major change in my daily routines with the phone, except maybe listened to music on my bluetooth headphones for more time than usual.
Here's my setup:
My phone is the LTE version (T999L)
I don't currently have any battery management apps (except for the battery monitor app "Wakelock Detector").
Stock 4.3
Not rooted
Screen is AUTO
Sync is ON
Wifi OFF during my work hours, I only turn it ON at home (at nights, but the battery is normally drained before that).
Bluetooth ON all the time because:
- The phone it's paired with my car
- I use BT headphones when at work
- And my Smart Watch 2 all day long
Casual gaming (I don't play much during the day, maybe for 30 minutes or less daily)
Can someone help me analyze this information to see what's wrong with my phone?

My first guess would be to clear the data from any media related apps. Go into Settings > Apps > All Apps and look for any Media apps (including Downloads, Download Manager, Media Storage, any music apps you use, etc.). Then, click on them and click "Clear data".
Then reboot.
Let me know if that clears your battery drain.

Thanks a lot for your reply Bass_Man25.
OK so I tried this, I cleared data of a bunch of apps (including music players). I basically sorted the app list by size and cleared the data of the most heavy ones (more than 5MB in data), rebooted and left it charging until today, I woke up at 6:30 AM unplugged phone and now at 12:32PM my battery is at 20%, I don't see much change.
I'm thinking there must be an app causing this drain because the bluetooth can't be causing it, but I can't figure out which one.
I've been thinking of backing up my phone settings and such with Kies, factory resetting it and testing it out unless someone else has another idea.
it seems you have weak to mid-range signal most of the day. also, assuming you're Wi-Fi is not actually on the entire time, to disable the wi-fi from always scanning in Android 4.3, you have to turn off\uncheck the option in Settings > Wi-Fi > press "Menu" > Advanced > "Always allow scanning". that will help a lot

Thanks for your reply Cobra281.
I actually don't have the WiFi ON during the day, unless my signal is pretty bad so I don't think that will change anything. And what do you mean with "it seems you have weak to mid-range signal most of the day."? Does having weak to mid-range signal drain my battery?
Have you tried Better Battery Stats? You can find a link here in XDA. Install that and let your ROM run for a while. It'll show you any kernal or partial wakelocks keeping the phone awake.

change the setting as i mentioned, because the Wi-Fi location scan is running, you have to run it via: turn off\uncheck the option in Settings > Wi-Fi > press "Menu" > Advanced > "Always allow scanning".
and yes, weak signal will cause more power use, as the phone is constantly trying to find decent service.
Hello everybody.
I have recently rooted my phone to try and identify the cause to my fast battery drain, which is primarily from the Android OS process.
I can't seem to find it. I see that the process "system" is working a lot and that the Android OS is awake for way to long.
Maybe you guys can point out something I'm missing here.
I would appreciate every help from you !
Thx

This really could be anything. I recently had this and experimented for days whenever I took a break. For me, it turns out that it was my work's wifi hotspot making my phone stay awake to stay connected. I turned off wifi and it was fixed. But this isn't a solution. I ended up connecting to my own wireless repeater and problem was gone.
Bottom line is you'll have to figure out what's going on yourself.

I'll tell you what I've done for battery life on my phone and maybe on of those will fix your problem.
1. Uninstall stock bloat (only the stuff actually running in the background; no need to remove stock launcher ect.)
2. Disable Wi-Fi scanning when wifi off
3. Use Amplify to limit wakelocks and alarms
4. Freeze the apps you don't regularly use. I have a titanium backup widget on my homescreen that will unfreeze snapchat and launch it. It is the pressed again to freeze it after use.
5. Greenify apps you don't want running in the background for no good reason. If you get the donate version, you can still get GCM notifications so it's win win. For apps that don't have GCM notifications, it will coalesce the notifications so your phone doesn't wake up as often.
6. Make sure you have all logging turned off from the LG hidden menu.
7. If you're on a bad wi-fi network run by work/school, then get the auto disable IPv6 app on the play store.
8. Use the HEBF Optimzer app to prevent Google wakelocks and battery drains.
9. Use PNF Root app on the play store to custom choose how often your phone checks for GCM notifications.
With these changes, I finish the day with around 4 hours of screen on time doing regular things. Don't believe the posts about 7-8 hours SOT because you don't know what they were doing. I once used my phone as a timer while studying and had the screen on for 3 hours and only drained 12% battery.
absolutely the same issue here. No luck with factory reset, not using whatsapp or messenger, not using wifi, not using mobile data, no luck with any kind of debloating, uninstalling, installing greenify, amplify whatever. In the end, the Android OS will come back and drain the battery. I've spent a way too much time on this issue.

Try clearing the Google Play Services data, then removing all Google accounts and then adding them back. This time, make sure not to agree to any data collection.
When you turn GPS on, it should show as GPS only in the location settings. Disagree to any prompts.
If your location defaults to high energy GPS and networks, then try flicking the toggle on and off very quickly after you have cleared the play services data. This is how I got the prompt for data collection to come back. It's annoying and you have to always disagree but it fixed my mysterious battery drains from android os.
Hello,
I have recently factory reset my OP3 due to a battery drainage issue. Google play services started using around 30% of my battery and consequently my SOT decreased by a lot.
After the factory reset, I freshly installed of all my old apps, and I downloaded my photos from the Gdrive.
Unfortunately, since then my WiFi is acting strange. Whenever I start the phone, the WiFi is performing normal, but after a while my phone goes into deep sleep and my WiFi disables itself (just like i configuered in settings). However, when I wake my phone, my WiFi won't turn on and when I go to the WiFi settings the phone becomes extremely laggy.
I have already wiped my cache again but I don't know what else to do.
Any help is appreciated!
Kind Regards,
Same strange problem here,I must reboot phone to connect wifi.
I trying with 3 kernel, it's not kernel problem.
It's such a strange problem. I don't understand why this problemwould occur after a complete factory reset...
I had the same issue a few years ago with my HTC One M7.
By the way, my OP3 is completely stock running Android 8.0
Same problem with my 5T on 5.1.1. Weird thing is I haven't made any changes, just updated a few apps but none of them should be causing wifi issues and settings (battery history) to lag after sleep.

I have set wifi to always on and don't have this problem. May be the doze feature is affecting it in your case. Why don't you try the always on setting? For me it doesn't drain the battery also. So no harm in trying it.
And why settings not responding? I must touch home button in order to have working settings again.
I think it's Oxygen Os problem.

The problem does not occur if I set WiFi to always on. However, this uses way more battery in my case.
If i set WiFi to always on my sot decreases from 4-5 hours to 3-4 hours.

I also can't find this issue anywhere else on the internet.

Can't find anything either. You have any of these apps installed? Substratum, Microsoft Remote Desktop, Twitch. Updated these apps two days ago which is when I noticed this problem, haven't change anything else really. Updated router firmware too (Virgin Media).

I can only think of factory resetting again and checking the behaviour of wifi before installing any other apps and downloading photos. Then you will know whether an app or the downloading is the cause and take action accordingly.

No, I haven't installed any of those apps. However, since the factory reset I started using the regular Chrome instead of Chrome Beta.

I have set wifi always on,and flash HolyDragon kernel, problem it's gone.
I don't know if kernel, or settings always on wifi, resolve my wifi connection.
I've been having the same problem too as of yesterday. Did a factory wipe and reinstalled Oxygen 5.0.1 but still having the issue after i reinstalled apps. going to try a factory reset again and not install or update any apps to see if maybe a recent app update is causing this.

IT didn't work for me. Right after flashing the OS back onto the phone and connecting to WiFi, i changed the WiFi setting for "Keep WiFi awake when asleep" to "only when plugged in" and after locking the screen and waking it back up a few minutes later it still wouldn't activate the WiFi; I had to manually go into the WiFi settings and turn WiFi back on.
On the bright side though, I did do some reading on the "Keep WiFi awake when asleep" setting and several sources said to leave it on "Always" since it actually drains more power turning on the WiFi radio when the phone wakes up. I've since changed that setting to Always and over the last two days I've noticed slightly less battery drain!
It happen to me too. Cant turn on wifi after waking up from deepsleep. Must reboot the phone. I had tried to clean everything , data, system,cache, everything and made a clean flash but it still happen ,only for 8.x android. I tried in Nougat and see no such problem. Im using oneplus 5t
Yea, I have same problem staring with oreo update. Can say, that I tried all kernels around, and some of them made wifi connecting faster or even reduced the number of crashes, but not completely. Sadly, I can't stay on those kernels, coz I have another problem, - iv got random reboots with most of them, only stock works... So every solution is inappropriate for me, and I reverted to nougat waiting for Android 8.1
Same problem here. I am on beta 35. Additionally I was on Franco kernel and had random reboots. Kernel back to stock no more reboots but still the wifi issue. I'll test the always on.
Hopefully it gets fixed in the next update. For now, I'm using the ''always on'' WiFi option.
Thank you all for the replies!
