So I updated the market to the newest version and occasionally when I open the market it tells me I have to have background data enabled. Problem is I have background data enabled. I can open the browser and everything else works but when I try to open the market and keep getting this error.
Is this affecting anybody else? Anyone have a solution for this? Thanks.
Rebooting the phone seems to fix the problem but it's real annoying to have to do that.
I have the same issue from time to time, Using task manager to force close market usually fixes the issue
I went back to the original market.
The new one wouldn't load last nite and is not all that much better for the hassle.
I'll wait until they get it worked out.
I noticed when the low battery power saver kicks in it disables the background data. Whenever you pull up the market with a low battery, you’ll get this warning. A quick enable cures the issue.
You can adjust the power saver behavior or disable the feature entirely.

Well this happened to me, except that the market still says background data needs to be enabled even after I've enabled it. I even installed 2 apps from the market in my desktop browser.
Killing the market fixed it though. Seems like the market app just got stuck thinking it was down and didn't refresh or try again.
Aside from using a task manager and rebooting my solution to this is just go to Settings -> Manage applications -> market -> Clear Data
it seems to work hope it helps

Hey guys, I don;t really use GPS on my Galaxy Player 4'', but I have notices that it will all the sudden display the GPS icon in the notification area even when it is off. I have disabled GPS and the "Use wireless networks" option, but the icon will appear at least once a day and won't disappear until I reboot the device. It just keeps blinking over and over until I reboot the device.
I have noticed it drains my battery way to quick when that icon appears (uses about 10% when the deviced is locked), which is crazy because it uses about (2%) battery power when it is locked during the night and the player does not shows that GPS icon in the notification area. I have killed pretty much every single application I have been able to kill to find out what app is trying to use GPS, but the icon won't go away no matter what process I kill. I use juicedefender and it has really improve my battery life, but when that icon appears, my device still will waste about 10% battery power even when it is locked with no apps running. Cannot explained why this is happening.
Has any of you had this problem?
Thank you
Try reseting to factory default, my batttery life on galaxy 4.0 is incredible.
I've had the same problem on my 5.0. I figured out it was an app that was constantly trying to get a gps signal. Simply going into the app and the exiting out seems to solve it however. It still happens but going into the app and exiting out helps. I would try to figure out which app is constantly trying to connect and if you don't use it very frequently uninstall it.

Difficult to pinpoint this app.
Do anybody know any way to log what app is using (or trying to use) GPS?
I noticed this happening today. I have my notification bar hidden, so not sure how often this happens. I could make it go away by turning on GPS and GPS Test, then back off. I checked for apps that might be trying to find a location in running services, killed a couple "maybes", but the icon kept blinking. Only app I installed today was Simple Calendar Widget, but didn't see anything in it's options that would be pinging location...
I have Power Tudor that shows how much juice apps are using while you monitor them, the only app there that looked like it could be was something like "system_1025" or something like that.... nothing I could find to stop it.

Also use Simple Calendar Widget, but I don't think it's the reason.
Did you use Samsung Dive recently? I did, in order to test the ring, lock and location service provided from within Dive. The service running on device tries to establish a GPS connection even if GPS is disabled. I didn't make a location trace, only a simple location test.
After reboot GPS icon do not show up any more ...
Looks like Google Latitude might be the culprit. Try opening it and signing out of that service. Also go into "Settings" --> "Location and security" and uncheck "Use Sensor Aiding". Once I turned those off the GPS Notification went away.
What does sensor aiding do anyway? Sure doesn't help the Compass!
I had the same issue with my HTC ONE M8 I did the same process as you. Went into my settings found my battery usage and saw what was draining my battery. It was groupon. So I force stopped the app and the GPS notification went away.
Has anyone experienced this?
It's happend to me 3 times. Just enabled the icon via notification bar, it locks up and restarts TWlauncher.

My first guess with crashing launchers or FC launchers is usually looking at installed Task Killers or RAM managers as either of these can play havok on the launcher. If you have neither of these installed I would then install a power control widget on the desktop to toggle wifi with. See if this crashes the launcher. If it does, then I would do a factory reset. Infact, unless its being caused by a ram manager or task killer, I would do a factory reset regardless if the widget trick works or not. If it continues to happen, I would swap at ATT store if within 30 days, otherwise contact samsung.

I am running the stock ROM, with stock apps, which one would think are tested to be compatible with each other. But we know that's usually not the case.
I have Lookout running. Ah ok I remember, and this might be the culprit, 3G Watchdog is also running. I also enabled System Power Saving.
I had already factory reset thinking that would help, but I installed 3G Watchdog..
Thanks for the tips, I will check and see if it reacts the same way with power control widget.

You never know what could be the culprit, I'm surprised all the time when I finally run down a app that's causing odd issues. Sometimes it's something I've been using for years that all of a sudden starts acting a fool. Good luck and be sure to fill us in on what the solution is.
Fresh factory reset. Nothing installed or configured other than my google account. Wifi not toggling, at least its not finding anything to connect to and disables it self.
I forgot about it. But then tried again later on the train. Again same results. I go into wifi settings and toggle. Sure enough it turns on scans, finds nothing and disables it self. I try again. The phone becomes unresponsive. Vibrates turns black and reloads launcher. Again fully stock with shell still rooted.
I've seen a few other threads for other devices on these rather annoying messages popping up, but the solutions in those don't seem to be valid anymore.
The two main solutions I found were to disable notifications for the apps "Extended Standby Mode Controller" or "Eco Mode Controller", but I have no such apps listed under Apps -> All so it seems they may have changed the name. I did search for com.Extended and com.Eco, along with com.sonyericsson.Extended / Eco but again, no luck there.
Normally these are a mild annoyance, but recently I've been using my phone more for YouTube, and if I get a notification whilst watching a fullscreened YouTube video, the notification bar and soft buttons don't vanish, meaning the top and side of the video are cut off. The only way to get away from that is to totally close the YouTube App and re-open it. This is annoying in itself, but watching YouTube videos means I'm more and more getting Power Management tips as the battery is run down.
Anybody know what the app controlling these notifications is called on the Z2? I'm running 4.4.4 rooted.
If you can't find which system app is notifying, did you try keep press on popped up notification and tap app info?
I haven't yet, but I'll give that a try the next time one pops up. To be honest, I had no idea I could do that
I use that method often. It works for me to finding app of the causing notification.
Well I was able to locate the App using that method, the app is "STAMINA mode", however even though I've turned off "Show Notifications" I still get the bloody Power Management Tips.
And the option to Disable the app is greyed out.
For now I've tried clearing the cache and Force Stopping it, but I suspect it will start running again later, or at the very least will need stopping whenever the phone is restarted.
I am rooted, so I suppose I could remove it, but I'd be worried about it potentially affecting the Sony ROM somehow.

Give it a try friend..

Anyone using smarthome devices that are using the geolocation of the phone to be triggered?
I have Phillips hue and Netatmo welcome and cannot see me when coming home except if my screen is opened and also open google maps and update manual my location.
Tried giving access to these apps not to sleep or use battery optimization but still nothing.
Anyone else?
I use a Tado system and I have noticed on the odd occasion it doesn't know I'm home with this phone, though setting the app to be exempt from throttling of data and exempt from power management seems to almost have resolved the issue.
Could you please share how to do that of throttling of data?

Has this been resolved by anyone?
I too have the Tado and it only updates my location when I open Maps and physically click on the blue dot to zoom in on my location or e.g. start navigating.
I've tried all the obvious like disable maps and tado battery optimisation, allow background data and what have you. On the Mate 10 pro this worked flawlessly btw so this has to be m20p related...
Together with the not too good curved screen (letters/graphics falling off), green tint, poor face and fingerprint recognition this is for me a reason to maybe get rid of this phone...
So you have already gone to:-
Battery settings, more battery settings, turn on "stay connected when device sleeps"
I use TADO with Mate20x AL00 and that fixed it for me.
Also make sure you have toggled the app power settings then it should be ok.
Hi, yes, 'stay connected when sleeps' is on.
What app power settings toggle do you mean, under special access, battery optimization?
In the meantime I've put Automate to work (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.llamalab.automate&hl=en) and made this little flow that seems to be a good work around. Starting Tado in the last block is there now only to check if it works, nothing else.
Update: this is a workflow that works really well. Let me know if you want more info.

This is driving me crazy but every once in a while power-saving mode turns on automatically. Does anyone know of a setting or anything that may do this?
I checked under automation and Adaptive power saving is turned off.
When does it happen in terms of battery charge state?
Try clearing system cache.

I don't know, it seems random but I just set up a task in Tasker so when it switches to change it back. This has been going on forever now.

If it kicks in at 20% battery left it's in a battery conservation mode.
Otherwise clear system cache and Device Care app data. Make sure it's not a 3rd party app causing it.
If it persists, factory reset. If still there it's either a firmware or hardware issue.
If a workaround works like not discharging past 20%, use that rather than go nuts.
Or if you can still return the phone, do so. Lots of issues with this model.
