I'm having a little (and simple to reproduce) problem with my Samsung Galaxy S2.
When on 3G data connection, about 5-6 minutes after the phone locks with the screen going off it will stop synching any kind of data. It won't receive any incoming messages from Google Talk, Gmail, Heytell or any other similars. Randomly after several minutes it's like the phone wakes up, checks, and receives all incoming messages all at once.
Also it will receive it all when I unlock the phone and I have noticed a little pattern in the antenna signal icons where they go from blu to white to blu again and then the magic happens.
Do you have any hints on how to fix this or make at least more bearable?
When on wifi there is no problem at all and all messages are synched instantly.
I have used a few custom roms (resurrection remix and revolt both with android 4.1.2). I have tried to change modems and kernels with no luck.
I believe it is a problem with jb 4.1.
Is anybody having the same experience or could give it a try?
Thanks in advance.

As part of my job responsibilities I am on call and receive pages for system alerts. Sometimes, we get many (hundreds) of alerts at once. The first time this happened with my S4 it rebooted itself after about 30 SMS messages were received in quick succession. Three more times this past weekend it did the same thing. At the time I was on the lock screen, so the SMS notification thing was up on the screen, and I could tell it was having trouble updating the screen with the frequency of incoming notifications.
Anyone else experience this problem, and do you think Verizon would accept this as "faulty" and exchange my phone for something that can handle SMS notifications, if there's no fix?
No I'm not rooting, if I pay for a working phone I want a working phone out of the box. If I mess with it afterwards, THEN I have only myself to blame, but I'd like to get this issue worked out before I do that, as I have done with all the phones I've rooted/unlocked.
Hi,
My wife and mom both have new Galaxy Ace 4 Lite G313ML's; they're both new and unlocked. Most of the time when they make calls, the recipient hears repetitive beeping continuously when they're not talking. Sometimes after about a minute of being in the call, it stops. I think that after it stops, if they make a call again soon after, it is still gone. Both of them are on Straight Talk (on AT&T's network).
The beeping is not every few seconds or every minute; it occurs continuously while they're not talking (but it's still individual beeps, not a continuous tone).
I tried disabling various things that could be related to notifications or anything network-related, but I wasn't able to get rid of it. I thought that turning off Wi-Fi made a difference at first, but since then it has continued to happen with Wi-Fi off.
Has anyone experienced this problem before, or does anyone have any suggestions for was to fix or work around it?
Thanks!
I was updating my HTC one google play edition and got a error message (android bot died). I managed to restart my phone and now my dialer and messenger are not working. It takes a long time to launch the dialer and making a call also takes a long time (10-20s). When it is finally dialing, I hear no dial tone or ringing. When I hang up, it gets stuck on the Hanging up screen for a long time, up to a minute sometimes. When I received a call and answer, I can't hear anything.
The messenger is also wrecked. Launching the messenger just closes it almost instantly. I tried a factory reset and the problem persist. I can't even make a phone call. I search through the net and found some similar problems back in Dec 2014 but I have no idea how to fix this one. There are other weird things after the update; sometimes I will get utterly no signal from T-mobile in places I know I have LTE. Sometimes restarting or switching the mobile on/off will get me back on the LTE.
I have not root the phone or did any modifications.
I have a Samsung Note 5 from Verizon. My friend has a Samsung S6 from Verizon. We both have issues receiving app related messages in Whatsapp, Line, Kik, and Skype. When the phone, I'm guessing its a sleep mode when you hit the power button when not using the phone, we don't receive notifications of texts until you open the phone and or start the app. It doesn't happen all the time but enough to make you mad. Also sometimes when the phone is even on. I'm guessing its the OS because of my friends doing it also with a different phone. The phones aren't rooted or anything. We are in good WIFI areas and its connected. Also I noticed if I shut off the WIFI and turn it back on the phone it will then receive the text. And no were not on the same WIFI, different states. Has anyone else had this issue or heard of it? Thanks for any help.
Hello,
Recently purchased an LG V10 with 5.1.1 stock, AT&T, and I've done absolutely no modding.
Scenario 1: sending hangouts data messages over LTE (for example; they are quick and easy to test with) work OK from my end. On receiving phone on different carrier, message arrives in about 5sec. Slower than I'm used to on every other phone I've used but not a big deal. SMS are sent faster and arrive in the normal amount of time which is still faster than hangouts.
Scenario 2: My phone is asleep\screen off and hangout messages are sent from the other phone to mine over LTE. My phone does nothing for as long as I let it stay asleep. But Incoming phone calls to my cell number notifies me instantly and
SMS sent to my phone notifies me instantly.
Scenario 1 and 2 are the same when using Wi-Fi, and with other apps that can trigger notifications when the screen is off. Those notifications only appear after I've unlocked the phone, and some appear only after I've opened the app. The notifications will have correct timestamps but the sounds and visuals only happen once I've picked up the phone and started using it; they all flood in at once.
I've made sure that my settings for allowing notifications (priority it's called on the LG ROM) is set to allow everything.
I've done a lot of searching online and people with various phones (Galaxy S6's most recently) appear to have this issue and it also appears to have a history as far back as Android 4.1. They say the fix is an app that changes the checking times from the stock Android 28minutes or something, down to like 5 minutes. I have tried one that doesn't require root and it has not changed any behaviour that I can measure.
My question is, is this a phone problem? Like a bad OS install from the factory (did i just get a bad unit?) or an APN setting issue (haven't messed with it from factory settings) or is it an Android problem that needs a bug submitted since I see it happening on Samsung phones too?
I've had many other phones, mostly Samsung and even a Note 4 with Android 5.1.1 but hangouts and emails and every other notification was practically instantaneous whether on Wi-Fi or cell network.
Thoughts?
