Hey guys,
Trying on this more active forum...
I just bought the S21+, overall great phone except couple of issue with Android Auto and Whatsapp.
I was able to fix the Android Auto issue (wouldn't connect, had to remove the latest Google Chrome updates) but the whatsapp issue is above my paygrade.
I scanned the QR code and everything works but as soon as the phone screen goes black, whatsapp is slow and disconnects often. Not completely disconnected as after I send a message perhaps 10/15 seconds later it gets set but still not responsive as before (S8+)
Any idea?
you can try other software to watch network connection status, if no problem, maybe that's compitability issue on s21+

Thank you, do you have any recomandation?
Not sure if you managed to fix this but in case you haven't.
You need to make WhatsApp a non-optimized app in the battery settings. That way WA will consume as much battery as needed to stay alive and to connect to WA Web.

How about disabling Wi-fi power saving mode?
Phone is not connected to wifi, would that matter?

No, it shouldn't matter. I was just trying to provide an option.
I really don't have any problem when its on mobile data but I do have problems with Wifi from time to time cause WhatsApp Web is poorly implemented with the app.
Sorry I couldnt provide any help.

I bought a used Xperia M for my mother.
Everything works great (i update to latest stock sofware) except wifi.
it says I'm connected but wifi keeps droping. When using chrome, it just hangs there and no page loads. And I tried using Fongo (Voip app), I can place a call, but after 10-20 seconds, I can't hear anything, and the other side either.
The wifi icon is always there, but clearly the phone drops the signal.
other phones/computer in the house have no problem on my wifi network.
Any ideas?

May be, you've been fooled. Oops, sorry!
Try reflashing stock firmware, full wipe will be great!

It's possible, but I doubt it. The lady that sold it to me didn't strike me as the scamming type. If something is wrong with the phone, she probably didn't know it. And either way, fooled or not, I'm stuck with the phone now...
My mother doesn't use the wifi on the phone, but if she wants to switch to using voip, it would be nice to have the option.
And the first thing I did when I got home was a full wipe with a flash/upgrade of stock firmware using Sony program.
I'll try doing another one just in case.
I read on other forums that people were having these problems, but no one had a fix for it..
Thanks!

but are you sure, you have try to repair with pc companion and it's still broken?
Yeah i just did it. I did a repair with complete wipe. It does connect to my wifi but it works only for a couple of minutes. Like i said my mother just uses the phone for calling and texting so it's not that big a deal. But I would have wanted to give her a 100% working phone...
I check around and on the sony forums some people are having the same problem, but no clear fixes.

Brother, have you checked what WiFi band frequency is selected, I had same prob when I had 5ghz selected and my office Wi-Fi was on 2.5ghz, I selected auto then.

The wifi band is set to auto, i tried both separately too. Keep wifi awake is set to always. And i tried a combination of all the other settings. The phone is set up just like my phone and my g-f's phone. The reception is excellent on the xperia, it just sort of freezes...
Anyway my mother came to pick up the phone this morning and she didn't mind the wifi not working. If she ever chooses to switch to voip, I'll either try to fix it or change the phone.
I'll try to look around in the mean time if I come across a fix. If I do i'll try it when she comes to visit.
Thanks!
Hi,
I have recently tried to figure out the Smart Lock Feature of the brand new LG G4 smartphone.
However I was not yet able to find any working solution to this problem.
Does anybody came across this problem?
Thanks
Same issue here..
You have to set it to high accuracy.
Thanks for the replies. However, I have set it to the high accuracy - see the picture.
Any other suggestions?

I think I cleared data in my places and my places engine then rebooted
I did not root the phone.
Restart did not help. Clearing data in my places and my places engine neither.
Any other ideas?

Same issue here. Mine is also grayed out. I've tried many ways to solve it but in vain. I am going to try jerflash's manner. It is indeed very strange!
I really wish this worked via Wifi networks. Mark X wifi network as home, and Y wifi network as work. I dont run GPS unless I need to. But it would be nice to have things toggle based off wifi or even just a general location. My work and home are 50mi apart, phone should be able to tell where I am haha

I've solved this problem!!!
Someone told me that "my place" can be only set on while using mobile network. If you use Wifi, "my place" can not be set on. This works with me! So happy I finally can turn on "my place" and use the smart setting. Hope this also works with you. Good luck! :good:
Oh, well, thank you. This fixed the problem. Thank you so much!
For anyone who comes here from a search: LG phones with Smart Settings only seem to work if mobile data are enabled. So if you have limited data allowance and keep mobile data normally disabled, you're out of luck.
Hello everyone!
I don't know why, but since last week the battery drains faster than it has before. There is no apparent reason for it. There is only one anomaly, one process that seems to use a lot of the cellular network, and that is the WhatsApp...
How can I examine this further on an unrooted phone??
Thx in advanced !
If the cellular network at your place is weak, your phone will use more power energy to maintain network connection. In such case, I think you'd better install the app named Greenify to stop Whatsapp from background running.

That's the thing... It's not weak. It just drains the battery more than it had before for some unknown and not apparent reason at all.
i was having a problem like that, i turned up mobile data and using only whatsapp, with a big battery drain, the solution for me was disable fast telephony from the hidden menu in the telephone and now the problem is gone
I guess "fast telephony" = "fast dormancy", right?

Let us know if it works.
Disabling fast dormancy is ok if your carrier does not implement it otherwise if they do you want it on. Given your problem happened suddenly i doubt that is the reason.
When people have problems with whats app. clear cache or failing that, reinstalling the app has fixed it.

Well, it doesn't seem to have any effect on the usage of mobile data of the WhatsApp app...
Also clearing the cache and uninstalling and reinstalling the app didn't have the desired effect.
Any other solutions?
@spartan do you have any ideas ?
Dears,
On my op3, which is running with Experience OS and Blue spark Kernel, always the Whats app coming on top of the battery stats even though I opened it less time. It is showing that "Mobile Radio Active" is enabled for hours. I can not switch off the Data while the screen off because it may delay the notifications. I understood that the modem is not disconnecting from data even if the app become not in foreground stage. What ever the app I used for data restriction reduced the Deep sleep time since it were keeping alive in the back end to restrict the data service. Is there any solution to get rid the Mobile Radio Active bug.
No there isn't, it is a known thing since Android Lollipop.

OOOOPSSS!!!! i have cleared all other battery draining issues using various methods. But this is hectic.
Why google is not taking care about this since it is a serious bug? But I think not everyone facing this issue. Some of them are getting good battery backup without having mobile radio active issue.

With Whatsapp this is expected. All of Facebooks apps are known to be terrible battery drainers. It is part of the reason that it never took off in the states. Also anything like that will always keep the radio active. It is the nature of the app. As long as you use it then you will get battery drain.

But it is a serious bug, isn't it Bro? I am worried why the google devs not showing much interest to resolve this battery killing issue.... I think there was an xposed module available in Lollipop or marshmallow to solve this problem. But nothing available in Nougat. feeling helpless bro

It's nothing Google can do. It is Facebook. The apps is badly coded just like their main app and messenger. As long as you rely on it for messaging (not sure why people do) then you will have to deal with it.

No bro, I don't think it is because of Facebook. I am not using facebook at all. But me too having the issue. I think it is clearly a mobile data modem issue. Mobile radio is not disconnecting even after android system closed the foreground app. Only android devs can resolve it.

You miss the fact that whatsapp is a facebook app. Owned and written by facebook.
If mobile data disconnects then you would not get notified. Data is how that app works.
If you do some research you will find this to be true.
Again this is how messaging apps work. It doesnt seem like you have alot of experience in mobile OS programming.
My advice would be to use a different app like Telegram. This is what most of the world uses. As to whats app is mainly used in developing countries but not much outside of them.

Yes but if you look closely he is not using the device. And to be honest, I don't think it's real. I have never seen android display something when there is no usage like for the GPS in that screen shot.
I know it can last for days without using it as that is what happens to my device on the weekends. I unplug it sat morning and only use it when someone calls me and I don't have to plug it back in until Monday morning. Mind you that is really not using the phone much at all.
it has got no fix yet. May be this goes away in Oreo.
Sorry if someone has already pointed this before.. But have u tried turning the data saver mode on?
Once ON, make sure you disable unlimited data for Google play services and whatsapp.. (in settings, app, data usage)
I tried it and somehow it worked
im trying to use wifi tether router on my newly rooting moto g6 play but when i press enable it says wait forever whats wrong with it?
Try changing the interface to wlan1. That's what I had to do on my non-play edition.

Tick the box that keeps WiFi active instead of disabling. See if that works. It's a common fix for the problem you described.
