Dear all,
Is anyone else experiencing the following problem?
When the phone goes to sleep mode during the night hours it wont receive any messages for whatsapp etc. It seems that it turns off the 3g connection when you turn the screen off during the night hours.
Does anyone know a possible fix for this?
I have gone through all the settings and could not find anything about this.
Cheers.
I recently got this on my Desire Z too, and I have not changed any settings on that. Then I noticed it's happening on my One X too..
no 3g late night
Hi there, i have a motorola photon. in the settings menu you can go to what is called battery and data manager. then tap on battery mode. it's default is set to nighttime saver, which will kill your syncing after 15 minutes of inactivity in the hours between 10pm and 5am. i set mine to performance mode. this will sync all of the time and i don't really care if it takes up battery since i am awake and ready to pop in a new battery off my kick a$$ battery dock wall charger!! hope this helps....

I think it's got something to do with what HTC said about "the phone learning" when you check things like mails ect.. so after it has learned that you do not check mail (for instance) during the night it disengages activies... or not
@mykeyvee, there are no such options in the stock rom on this phone.
Anyone have any other ideas?, i want everything to be synced 24 hours a day.

I don't think it's anything to do with settings. My Desire Z is on 2.3.7 and only recently have I got this bug.
My One X is stock unrooted. No settings for power saving.
Accounts and sync>sync schedule>smart sync
Is this what is effecting you

This. I woke up and my 3G wasn't even on. I had to disable and enable data again to get connected.
Same problem here. Whenever my phone is in standby mode for a longer period of time (as far as I've seen it doesn't matter whether it's during the night or day), the data connection (3g) is disconnected.
On my previous phone, a desire Z, there was a setting 'data always on' which addressed this issue. This setting however seems to be missing on all android 4 phones.
**edit:
Contacted Dutch HTC support; they claim it's a feature. Hope they restore the setting in the future..
I have noticed this too this morning.
I woke this morning and went into the battery settings and you can see the graph that all data was shut off over night.
How do we fix this.
Piss. Wondered why it used virtually no battery overnight...

I was thinking that maybe it was just the 3g/wifi connection which was going into a sleep mode after a long period of inactivity.
I've tried increasing my mail sync at night to once in 30 minutes to prevent the 3g connection from going to sleep and disconnecting. (had it at once in 4 hours)
Now when i wake up and turn the screen on, the 3g icon is already there, and my mail has been synced last in the previous 30 minutes.
Fixed it?
Same issue here, weird thing is that I can't seem to tie it down to either a specific battery-percentage nor a specific time of the day. It's really annoying though, as I would like my device to be connected 24/7. Tried setting a mail-account for 15 min update, so will see how much wifi/3g has been on tomorrow.
Edit: Definitely not a battery issue, but rather a time issue. Battery is at 80% (used the phone little today) and 3G/wifi has been disconnected for the past 2 hours even when mail is set to check every 15 min. I can see that for many people it's not important at night, but I wish we at least had the option to turn it off :/
Possible Fix
Download this app.. Minimaltext
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.devmil.minimaltext&feature=search_result
Create a widget 1x1, under the tap behavior, select start another activity, then select an activity. Scroll now to settings, expand it, choose power saving setting..
Leave the rest default then press okay.
Click the widget and you will find some settings, including put data connection to sleep when screen is off. I haven't tried it. Hope this helps.
Not a bug!
This is not a bug, but a feature : scheduled standby mode
If on Sense 4.x, settings are similar to Sense 3.5, you should go into settings > power then scroll to standby mode. Default setting is auto, which means that the phone learns your sleeping phases and disable every wirless connections during this time when your screen is off, and enable it again automatically when you wake up (even if your screen is still off).
You can disable this feature, or (my favorite option) manually set the duration when you allow your phone to enter and exit deep standby mode.
(For me it's a great feature, as I really dislike having my phone producing airwaves close by my head when I'm sleeping. Before I went to Sense 3.5 on my DHD, I didn't have this option and had to enable plane mode before sleeping ant enter my PIN code every morning to exit plane mode, which was less convenient).
If you want to disable this, download smartsync disabler from the play store. Im pretty sure there is a thread on xda too with an app available to download.
...Or read my previous post... Market's bloatware is not needed, setting for this should be in power settings, as on Sense 3.5.
After a week with this phone i have so far loved it. I have found 2 issues while on a trip to Florida. 1 the GPS is good but from time to time it will give me cannot lock GPS signal (or GPS signal loss).
Secondly, for the past few days the phone restarts itself at least twice a day! I am running the latest 4.4.4 os (i did the stock upgrade when the phone prompted me there was one available).
Anyone else having these issue? (During the restarts, the phone is on standby with Stamina mode off). I only noticed it because i saw the Sony logo screen display and the phone turning on.
I installed the Android 7.0 OTA update on my Nexus 5X 3 days ago. I've noticed a few bugs.
1. When on my work wifi the phone won't stay asleep. On LTE or my either one of my home wifi networks(one 2.4Ghz one 5Ghz) the phone sleeps fine. Prior to the update this was not an issue. I have experienced this bug before on my Nexus 5 after upgrading from KitKat to Lollipop. Maybe this isn't so much a bug with the new OS as it is a bug with the update process? It only seems to happen after a major update. It isn't a 3rd party app since no app is showing it kept the phone awake for that long. It's Android OS that had the long awake time. It was like 3 hours.
2. On each day I've had the update I have noticed that the battery status where it shows if the phone is awake, signal strength, screen on, etc it shows that the phone isn't awake at all. Even when the screen IS ON. This doesn't seem to start happening until later in the evening. In the 10 months I've had the Nexus 5X before 7.0 I saw this issue once. With 7.0 it has happened 3 days in a row on Tuesday(when I installed the update), Wednesday and Thursday.
3. When I restart the phone the "Kept Awake" time for both Android OS and "Android System" gets reset. So, because of issue #1, Android OS showed it had kept the phone awake for about 3 hours. After a restart to try and resolve issue #2 I noticed the that "Kept Awake" time for Android OS and Android System(kept the phone awake for about 8-9 minutes before restart) were just a few seconds.
4. I'm not sure if this is a bug or a bad change done on purpose but the Advanced Wifi settings that were on Marshmallow are no longer available on Nougat. Things like Wifi frequency(2.4Ghz, 5Ghz or both), always search for wifi, etc are all gone. The only "Advanced" wifi settings are "Install Certificates", "Wi-Fi Direct", "WPS Push Button" and "WPS Pin Entry". That's it. I was hoping one of these settings might help with problem #1.
Is anyone else having any of the first three issues? Anyone know of a way to get back to the settings in issue 4?
I had previously had the nightlight schedule enabled, but decided I didn't like it for multiple reasons, including the fact that most games would just close without warning when it transitioned. But now, even with it turned off completely, my games still close exactly at sunset. I'm 100% stock on the latest global Oreo image. Any ideas to alleviate this? Is anyone who has never had the nightlight schedule enabled seeing this?
Yes have this issue
Doesn't matter night light is on or off.
I have a bit of a weird issue here and I am wondering if anyone else has noticed this:
For those of you in the USA who use Reading Mode - I've noticed that ever since us Yanks moved the clocks forward an hour on Saturday, March 8th, the Good Night's Read setting, which turns on Reading Mode based on sunset time, is now kicking in an hour earlier, like what it was before we moved the clocks an hour forward.
I have tried enabling/disabling Reading Mode, adjusting the system time manually and then turning it back to auto, but nothing works.
It more or less seems like the ROM or Xiaomi is pulling the sunset time from somewhere that hasn't been adjusted for Daylight Savings Time - even the official Xiaomi weather app shows the correct sunset time.
Is this a known bug in Xiaomi.eu ROMs, or MIUI in general? Anyone else experiencing this?
