Whatsapp deep sleep issue - ArrowOS rom - POCO M2 Pro Questions & Answers

Whatsapp deep sleep issue - ArrowOS rom - POCO M2 Pro Questions & Answers

The issue I am having with ArrowOS rom is that the whatsapp is going into deep sleep when the screen is locked or idle. I get pending messages when I open the whatsapp. I have tried everything right from battery optimization off, adaptive notification off , background process limit etc and many more things.
I just don't understand which setting I have missed. Kindly help if anyone can give suggestions or let me know if I have missed any settings.

That app is a security risk, I won't let it run on my devices. It's a power hog by nature.
Disable it when not in use or better yet deep six it.
Any site that I can't logon/run completely by browser doesn't get loaded. Gmail is the only exception.
FB is banned for eternity

I have whatsapp business account bro and I use it frequently. If it would not work fine then I am in loss. Do let me know if you know which setting I am missing.

Try clearing the system and app caches.
Go through all the settings.
In the future if I was you I would migrate away from using app for business.
It's reputation precedes it.

There was some other setting which I forgot to enabled. Now Issue resolved bro.
Still, would try to reconsider your suggestion not to use the whatsapp for business. Thanks bro.

apps with live tiles crashing...

I've noticed lately that any app I download that has a live tile crashes when I try to run it. Any other app runs fine. I was curious that this might be a result of the 15 push app limit. So, I went thru all my apps that have live tiles, removed them from my start screen, and unchecked "live tile," "push notification" or whatever option they had. This did not fix the problem, even after a reboot. If i re-pin one of the old apps and enable live tile, they work just fine.
I'm wondering this is just a glitch with my phone, or whether wp7 doesn't have the ability to release the "hold" that an app has on one of the 15 available channels. Is anyone having this same experience?

Did you ever find a resolution for this other than a hard rest? I am experiencing the same problem and have also tried disabling all my notification apps. Im debating weather I should wait till NoDo and see if it fixes the problem before I hard reset.
On another note, is there any way or do any of my games data get saved when hard resetting? I really dont want to loose that saved data.
Thanks.

It's quite possible that the installed apps aren't handling the disabling of notifications correctly and clearing the channel. So if they've already registered a channel, they'll still count towards the 15.
Try uninstalling one of them, and check if that helps.
Incidentally, the apps shouldn't crash when they can't register a channel, they should catch the error and let you know. Let the developer know what's happening so they can fix it (don't do it via a review, try emailing them).

It definately seems like the apps are not releasing the channel properly. Is there any way to go into the registry and manually removed them? Also I have removed several of the apps that had Live Tilese enabled then disabled but I still cannot enable Live Tiles in new apps without receiving an error.
Edit: I went through and removed several other apps including one in which I was having issues on and off with live tiles. After uninstalling that app Live Tiles seems to be working on all my other apps. I'm not sure if the problem was the specific app or not but the issue appears to be cleared up. Thanks dgaust for the advise.

guys, i have 4 email live tile, HTC, Mo tweet, and i do not have any issues, i am using HD7.

It's not a problem with your phone, it's a problem in the app. The SDK launchs a exception when you are over 15. Write to the developper to fix this problem

The problem I as having was that I wasnt over the 15 limit, I was at something closer to 5-10 but some of my previous apps apparently had not removed themselves from the list when I disabled them.

Well none of the MS apps count towards the live tile limits. but even the you were no where near the 15 limit.

Snsservice restarting?

I noticed this with dk28 where my snsservice would keep saying restarting after about an hour when my phone is booted and doesn't have a running time. I don't know if this is causing some issues because the phone then say that I can't edit my contacts.

I gather you are referring to Facebook SNS? This started after Facebook made changes to their application and introduced their own sync process. Those changes did something that conflicts with Google's integration with Facebook.
Google and Facebook are going at it over the sync process within Android.

There is another thread a few pages back in this sub forum that discusses possible work arounds. Nothing confirmed to resolve the constant prompts as of yet.

I'm having this issue too, I don't use Facebook and I can't find anything on any of the forums about this issue. No problems other than SNSSERVICE RESTARTING... continuously in running services. I push to stop it and it goes away, but I haven't noticed any other problems, even after I close it. I do notice that my battery lasts longer when I kill it. What EXACTLY does SNSService do? I've heard several different comments that it is for Facebook, its for Security (? if so, what security?), etc... and what would be causing it to go into restart. I do toggle off 3G from Power Control Plus (and GPS and Auto Sync) when I'm at work or other times when I have 1 or 2 signal bars (to save battery), but when I've had this happen, I try reconnecting all those, and it does not save the snsservice from going into a restart loop.

I have the EXACT same problem, on EB13 Syndicate ROM.
One thing I know for sure is snsservice fetches email syncs at the selected intervals for the stock email app, because I haven't been getting any emails since the problem started. My girlfriend has the Samsung Fascinate (sister phone) and she has the EXACT same problem. Anyone else know?

I found a fix for this...I'll bet if you have this problem you don't have a Facebook nor Twitter account and thus, have removed the "Feeds & Updates" widget from your screens. If you DON'T force close the SNSService, but just put the Feeds & Updates Widget back on an unused screen somewhere it will immediately stop the snsservice from restarting. I've then deleted the widget from my screen and was good for about 2 weeks, then it started doing it again (after the facebook app got an update) so I just left the widget up now.

I don't know, for sure it doesn't help it. It would be nice if somebody shed some light on this bug.

My fix is to just delete the two SNS apk's, and use the respective apps built in sync feature.

To remove the stock, built in SNS features, you can remove the following files:
Snsaccount.apk
Snsproviders.apk
About affecting the fb app, I'm not sure. I just started using the fb app so I can't say with certainty. I am going to test and see if deleting either or both apk files stop notifications in the fb app. Based on what you said, sounds like it might.

I'm pretty sure you NEED those apks if you ARE using Facebook. You just need to put the Feeds and Updates Widget back on one of your unused screens.

No, if you're using the Facebook app that you download from the market, you don't need either of those apks.
Just tested notification functionality like I mentioned in my last post, and I am getting them all. Those apks are deleted on my phone.
You'd need to keep those apks if you want the Twitter and Facebook functionality that comes built in on a stock phone.

Does deleting those two apks not affect Latitude updates? I know their separate services but it seems as if Latitude doesn't automatically update correctly when I remove either snsservice or drmprovider.

the fb app f*ucks up from time to time and the only solution is to uninstall. Use some of the suggestions mentioned before. They have all the features, even messages. If you use chrome you can get notifications also.

Happened to me as well starting yesterday. Apparently is not only happening to people using 3.2.8, users on 4.0.1 are experiencing it also. It's also affecting users on other phone models. So definitely something wrong with the FB app. I un-installed the app and added a home screen shortcut to the web version of FB, like what was suggested by the other guys.

Maybe you need to configure some settings in the app.

I'm on validus using 4.0.1 fw and modem and got this problem this morning. It also caused the heating of the phone.
Got rid of both apps.

Happened to me today.
Facebook and messenger started sucking the battery in the morning, making my phone lag as hell. Also drained the battery from full down to 5% in around 8 hours. Tried restarting my phone during the day. Even with any internet connection off it was still running and autostarting.
Sultan's CM13

Same thing happened to me as of this morning, Freedom OS 3.2.8 with EK Kernel. It only started this morning

1 - Close your FB account
2 - Remove FB application
3 - Back to a real social life
4 - Done

I think may be it will help for some people

Question Messages Crashes When Sending Pictures

With "Chat Feature" enabled I keep having an issue with sending pictures to other users that use Messages. Everytime I do so it seems to always crash the app and will continuously crash it till the picture finally stops trying to send. Only way I am able to is by switching to SMS/MMS. Anyone know the cause or a fix? I am on VZW.

I have tried clearing cache and restarting device but it still refuses to send via "chat" only SMS/MMS. Any feedback?

Man that's an interesting one. I'm on Verizon with no issue so it's not the network. Maybe turn off chat features, clear data for messages and data for carrier services restart and set up chat features again

It's been going for awhile. Could it be an issue with the beta also? I currently use the beta app that's ongoing updates. Will I lose all my texts if I clear data for the app? And what exactly is carrier services?

I run the beta myself so I doubt it. No you won't lose your messages if you clear data. Carrier services is another app that preloaded that helps your phone use your carrier services. It might not be the urinal, but it doesn't hurt anything to reset it and it's known to cause issues at times

I will give that a try and report back thank you for the info! Gonna try it in a few mins

Question How to make Facebook notifications work on my Pixel 6 Pro?

I have got the phone 2 weeks ago and I really like it. Everything seems to be working just fine except for the push notifications for the Facebook. Please, don't tell me to uninstall it - I use it for business and also to keep in touch with my family and friends - so telling me not to use it is not helpful. However if there is something you can help me with, I would really appreciate it. Here are some details to make it easier for investigation.
Android version: 12
Security update: 5 November 2021
Facebook version: 348.0.0.39.118
- push notifications are allowed within Facebook (please, see attached screenshot)
- Facebook notifications are allowed on Android system wise (please see attached screenshot)
- Facebook Battery usage set to Unrestricted (please see attached screenshot)
What I have tried so far?
- delete cache, storage, the app and re-install
- pause notifications for 15 minutes and allow again
How do I know it issue on Android?
- I have the same issue on every Android device (tested on Samsung and OnePlus devices, same result)
- everything works just fine on iOS - push notifications are coming on my iPhone 13 Pro and on my iPad
What else am I missing? What can change or setup differently? I would really like to use Pixel as my primary device but this is a major blocker for me. Reaching out to Facebook is pretty much impossible. I am offering up to 50 USD (paying over PayPal) to the person who can help me figure this out for once and for all. I have been asking all around the internet and no-one can help me. If I can't sort it out here, I don't think I can anywhere else.

Alright, well let's check the other basics first.
You have
a) allowed push notifications for Facebook and set Battery usage for Facebook as unrestricted
how about
b) check Background Process Limit (Developer options)
c) check Standby Apps (Developer Options again, scroll down to Apps) and tell me which state your app is in regularly (a messenger app should be at WORKING_SET/ACTIVE even when you "close" it in app drawer/home screen)
d) check your power saver & DnD settings (Do not Disturb can delay notifications)
e) triple check your internet connection - are you using a VPN, are all other apps working as intended with immediate notifications? Is it maybe a "not phone problem"?
f) do you have adaptive battery activated? Try deactivating it, AB can put apps to sleep in order to preserve battery life. Restart phone after making these changes.
e) did you download Pikmin Bloom? (not kidding here, I've seen people report Android 12 notification problems, and after deleting that app it began to work again)
E1) Since it has been reported that a single app can cause havoc, it might be possible that some third-party app is causing these issues. It might be hard to narrow down, but if it truly bothers you, I'd suggest to manually place ALL other non-Google apps to battery -> restricted, to find out if that is the problem. If it fixes your issues, you can slowly narrow it down, by gradually allowing battery usage for other apps again.
Since you did not use the word root once, I assume you are not rooted? Since with root access we could force the Heartbeat Intervals to a ridiculously low number (couple seconds), to see if it's truly a Pixel/software problem.
It might be possible that your problem is caused by Androids DOZE function. It doesn't always work "properly" - there is an internal priority list, and according to that list apps get dozed or are allowed to "call home".
A non-root solution to this (IF it's a doze problem) would be to manually deactivate Doze with ADB (and then check your app - if your problem is fixed then, it's a DOZE/whitelist problem)
There is a thread about this here
Android: completely disabling deviceidle ("Doze") in Android M?
In a rooted Android M device, I want to completely disable deviceidle mode ("Doze"), all the time. Yes, I know this affects my battery life, and that's fine with me. I know that I can invoke the
stackoverflow.com
You "just" need to issue this ADB command
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's also possible that for some odd reason, Whitelist doesn't work as intended (battery not restricted should lead to the app NOT getting dozed)
That can - in theory - be forced with
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle whitelist

Mind though, that it will not stick after a reboot. It's only a temporary solution.
If that solution should work, you could try out
Say hello to LADB, a local ADB shell without needing root or a computer!
Hey there XDA! I'm here to show off a new Android app I've published that I think a certain audience may find useful. Ever heard of ADB? If not, you likely won't need this app. But for those of you who have used or encountered ADB in the past...
forum.xda-developers.com
in order to get a more permanent DOZE disabling solution. Even though this will cause your phone to burn faster through battery. If it's a general Android / Android 12 issue, I can't see any other non-root solutions though.
With root, you could easily execute the script/ADB commands after each reboot. But then again, there should be at least one alternative non-root solution out there.

I'll start from the end - my phone is not rooted. I was tempted, but decided not to do so. Now to the questions above:
b) Background Process Limit is set to: Standard limit, I did not change that - should I?
c) Facebook is shown as EXEMPTED (and it is greyed out, I can't change it), Messenger is ACTIVE
d) Power Save is always OFF in my case
e) connection is fine, 100%, I am not using VPN, only local with AdGuard, but the same behavior was without it
f) tried that, did not help - on Samsung, OnePlus and here, too
Not aware of Pikmin Bloom - no idea what is it, so no.
Thanks for coming back to me, I appreciate it.

You shouldn't have to root your phone to get notifications to work. But Morgrain has included everything and more that I would suggest.
A few things: So notifications for this specific Facebook Account work on other Android devices with the same Google Account?
Do all other notifications work? WhatsApp, GMail etc?
Create a new user (Android Settings, System, User) and create a dummy Gmail Account during setup (important to create a new account since I've seen this also resolve notification issues with GMail and a few other apps, its rare but worth a try, and you can delete the Gmail account after the test, limit the information you input and put a nickname/fake info in). Stay logged into this new Google Account on your Pixel during the testing period (whatever it is 30mins, 1hr etc) because notifications won't come in otherwise. Make sure battery saver isn't on, and give Facebook/Messenger apps Unrestricted battery usage along with enabling all permissions under "App Permissions" and under "App Info" enable anything available: Mobile Data & Wifi Unrestricted background data/usage (2 options), Battery: Unrestricted, and under the Advanced section, some apps have 2 or 3 options such as "Modify System" etc - enable all of those also. Force Stop, then open the app to make sure it is running (check to make sure it is running in Developer Options, Running Services). These suggestions can also be tried on your current installation.
Can you maybe try removing the FB app, reinstall and create a new temporary FB Account or even try logging in with a different one - any changes?
The last thing I would do is backup your phone and manually the data for each app (Signal, WhatsApp etc) and force 2 or 3 manual backups using Google Backup (Android Settings, System, Backup), just to make sure everything is backed up. And using an app like SMS Backup Restore by SyncTech, to ensure Calls/SMS are backed up again. Copy all folders to a computer. Then do a factory reset, and during the setup, pick "don't have old phone" then "restore from cloud" - you will be given 5 or 6 options, only pick SMS/MMS and Calls. Then install Facebook and test it. This has worked in the past for notification issues.

No, specific Facebook Account does not work on any Android device at all. It only works on iOS devices. Without any specific settings. I just login to my account and push notifications on iOS are working. No matter what I do on Android - any device - it does not work. And I am not sure if this is account issue or platform issue. But I am inclined to platform issue as I do not understand why would it work on iOS without any problems.

Hello!
A lot of good suggestions here.
I don't have much input so I apologize - I just wanted to say I have no issues receiving Facebook Messenger notifications. I'm on sq1d.211205.017 (December - manually flashed and rooted). I have notifications for Facebook itself turned off, so I can't report there. I didn't have to change any settings at all for Facebook Messenger to work correctly. I also don't use Messenger very much, but once in a while and I just received a Messenger chat the other day.
You could try manually installing the December update, although I'd probably wait for the late January update instead.
I like @Alekos' suggestion of creating a new account on the phone and trying to use the same Facebook account there, without installing any different/additional apps.
In an extreme measure, you could try a factory reset, don't restore anything from Google Backup, and only install Facebook & Messenger, and wait long enough to be able to tell if both are working satisfactorily.
If working, then after that you would have to install further apps in small groups (I would do in the order of the most critical apps that you need), then wait long enough again to test. This has been my standard operating procedure whenever I have weird problems that I just can't solve. Sometimes, I didn't get a solution this way - the problem was common with Samsung's version of Android, but all other times I eventually found the problem in an app that caused issues.

Hello! I don't have much input so I apologize - I just wanted to say I have no issues receiving Facebook Messenger notifications. I'm on sq1d.211205.017 (December - manually flashed and rooted). I have notifications for Facebook itself turned off, so I can't report there. I didn't have to change any settings at all for Facebook Messenger to work correctly. I also don't use Messenger very much, but once in a while and I just received a Messenger chat the other day.
You could try manually installing the December update, although I'd probably wait for the late January update instead.
In an extreme measure, you could try a factory reset, don't restore anything from Google Backup, and only install Facebook & Messenger, and wait long enough to be able to tell if both are working satisfactorily.
If working, then after that you would have to install further apps in small groups (I would do in the order of the most critical apps that you need), then wait long enough again to test. This has been my standard operating procedure whenever I have weird problems that I just can't solve.

Messenger is working just fine for me. It has been on every Android device.
As for November/December update - I am not sure this is the culprit. Because as mentioned above it was not working on any prior Android devices either regardless of the Android version.
This is the only application I am experiencing issues with.

I apologize, I missed those things. Argh, very strange indeed. That just sucks.
My gut feeling is it's a Facebook setting that's being restored only on Android. I haven't used iOS, so I can only guess, but I know sometimes iOS and Android versions of the same app are different enough, and sometimes going through Facebook's available settings is daunting.
I know the app has a search function for its settings now, but the Notifications setting is obvious enough. If you've already mentioned looking through this, please forgive me:
3-line (pancake) menu
Scroll to the last page of junk
Settings & Privacy
Settings
Notifications
Micro-manage each and every type of category of Facebook notifications

Yeah, man. It's driving me crazy. I can't seem to find the issue for almost 2 years, insane.

I just edited my post above this reply. I might not have suggested anything you haven't already tried, but take a look. I feel your pain, as Google Reminders used to work great for me, but for the last two years, they do everything but actually remind me.

I have set those to Push - all that are relevant to me. I have posted it on screenshot in my 1st post. But thanks for trying, man. I really appreciate it.

Ah yes. I really should wake up before I answer posts. Technology! Good luck, I hope you find the solution.
Will you consider a workaround of changing from Push to something EMail or SMS?

so wait, no facebook account works at all on any android device you've used? That's really odd. A billion FB users!
Can you just try this: Create a new User (it's really easy) and a new throw-away Google Account (easy also) and a new FB account just to test? it will take maybe 5 mins. this will help in narrowing it down (if it does work).

I have tried that. I have created once a dummy account for Fb and used with my present Google Account - no issues at all.
Everything I tried looks like it's Fb account related and specifically on Android. I don't know how to solve it.

I know it's not what you're looking for, and you shouldn't have to do - or maybe that is what you do already, just had to ask.

I mean, I could, but it is not as convenient, not to mention I am more interested into WHY it is not working on Android and no issues on iOS. Can't get my head around this.

Me neither. Problems like this where nothing seems to solve drive me nuts. I may take a screenshot of my Facebook notification settings, set them all to push, and see what happens. I expect I know what'll happen.
Edit: Gotta love the Pixel screenshot "Capture more" button.

Just wondering, have you uninstalled rebooted, and re-installed? Or are you just copying over the apps/data? I had the same issue with Aqua mail, until I uninstalled, rebooted, and re-installed

Same happens when I unbox the phone and start fresh install right out of the box. Or if I install, update to latest version, restart and install all over again. Result is always the same.

This is a Facebook/android issue, I've been dealing with it for 2 or 3 years now across multiple devices.
