No push notifications in sleep mode - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody.
I just bought a Samsung S3 but I have a problem..
Every time I put my phone in standby, after 5-10 minutes the phone stops getting push notifications (fb, whatsup). I need to turn it on and after that everything's fine..
I tried do update to android revolution hd 17.1 but I still get this problem..
I've already tried to set Wi-Fi to always off, checked all notification setting but to no avail..
Is there a way to receive internet messages without turning on the phone every 5 minutes?

Their is a refresh setting of almost every internet app, try to change those. And check whether Do Not Disturb option in the notification panel is not on.
Hit Thanks if this helped.

Disable smart alert in 'motion' and that should fix it
Especially if you have a broken/malfunctioning proximity sensor

Sorry but I can't find any refresh setting in phone settings or whatsapp options. Can you please tell me where can I find them?

Have you downloaded any deep sleep apps or Juice Defender/any other battery management app?

No I didn't.
I even did a hard reset 2 days ago. The only apps I have right now are whatapp and fb messanger
I just tried to uncheck "smart alert" but the problem persists.

Okay wait, when you say 'standby mode', you just mean you're locking it, right?
Assuming that the answer to my previous question is 'yes', tell me, when you turn your screen back on do you get a little notification on the bottom of the screen that says "You are now connected to (whatever your WiFi is called)" ?

He still doesn't receive texts I believe so this is not having the WiFi set to turn off at lock

My issue only occurs when in 3G. It seem the phone disconnects from 3g line when in deep sleep.
I've already tried to use different sims of different operators getting the same behaviour
If I connect my s3 to a wifi spot it always gets notifications instantly

WiFi working when screen OFF

Hi,
In my Sony S I set WiFi to turn off when: "Never, when charging" and turn off (unchecked) GSM data transfer but still when screen is off I am receiving emails.
Why it is? If WiFi is not working when screen off, data transfer is turn off why I receiving emails?
It's really icky.
Whenever my screen is off, it DC's, then I hear getting an e-mail, and 10 mins after that, when I turn on the screen it says disconnected. Also, the settings aren't that clear.
A minor bug if you'd ask me
me too
This also happens to me. I recieve email even thogh I have checked wifi off when screen off.
Now I put into flight mode then turn screen off. This seems to work.
So, it looking like we found another firmware bug
I just got my SGPT111 this thursday. Been playing with it ever since. Updating to latest firmware and installing apps and trying different things tearing my hair over the lcd-protection for the display and such IO'm happier than an tornado in a trailerpark over this tablet. Only drawback I have found so far is just the WiFi.
I don't want it to turn of or go offline when screen goes black. I want it active 100% of the time, but no matter what I do or what I try, it still goes off when screen goes black ?!?
Is there something I have missed?
I've tried "when screen goes off"
"never when plugged in" and also
"never (uses more battery power) but still no dice.
Any ideas or suggestions that might help ?
I guess its the system turning wifi on to push email notifications.

something it is. Will try and test another AP if possible and see if that helps.
I want it on, not off
oh ell, I guess I can live with it beeing off when screen is off, but I rather not.
I didn't try it too much time, but with the app "Advanced WiFi Lock Free" it seems that the wifi still works when the screen is off.
However i tried it only a couple of minutes.

a little sad you need to use a 3rd part app for it, but I guess that'll have to do until Sony fix it
Thanx for testing it.
No problem, but its true.. a pitty that has to be an app, fixing this maybe with ics will be corrected... I was trying in the other modes now, like wifi on, only when connected, but it seems. That with this app, the wifi is always on, and not only when the tab is plugged..

Hey,
I'm looking for exactly the opposite. I want wifi off when i turn my display off. Is there an app for that? Because it seems to me that wifi starts sometimes again when i turn the display off even when I've adjusted my settings otherwise.

[Q] gmail not checking for messages while in standby

I just got my phone last night.
I notice that my gmail does not check for messages while my phone is in standby.
If I have a message,I don't get it until I wake up the phone. I have my wifi to stay on.
While troubleshooting this,I realized I can't find where to set any of the auto sync settings....
Thanx,
Ron

Sync settings are in the accounts menu. There seems to be a known bug with wifi where if the phone is sleeping for a while data will not flow until the device is woken up again. Many people are experiencing this.

It's not really a bug, just a weird "feature" of ICS, of data connection going to sleep when the screen is off.
Download Power Saver settings https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.logicvoid.powersaversettings&hl=en
and uncheck the very first setting. That will allow the data connection to stay active while the screen is off.

Well, with that option unchecked, I get my gmail while the phone is asleep. With that option checked, I don't get it until I turn the screen on. So I take that to mean that it works.

Good to know, thanks.
Just installed Power Saver Settings, but it seems like some of those options actually conflict with the ones in the Settings menu. And what does turning off the "1 CPU" option do? Is the phone by default only running one core and at >1GHz?

android tablets and notifications

now this may be a dumb question since i don't consider myself new to android, i've changed three android tablets so far, rooted my phone, installed and tweaked dozen of roms on it, so i know some relativelly average things about android, but this one puzzles me:
on both my tablet and phone i have facebook and gmail applications. they are basically the same .apks since i have a backup of them on a sd card and if i format one device, i often use restire the apps from the sd card.
and you know how you get an instant notification on your phone if you receive a fb message or an e-mail? that doesn't happen on my tablet. it seems that a couple of minutes after i turn off the display on my tablet, it drops the wifi connection (a power save thing i suppose).
is there any way to ensure a constant wifi connection on my tablet so that i receive email/fb notifications in real time and just not after i turn the display on?
this may be only an unchecked box in my network settings, but i really haven't noticed it
thanks for your help on advance

Go to Settings > Wireless & network settings > Press Menu > Advanced, and change Wi-Fi sleep policy to Never (or Never when plugged in, to avoid drain your battery)
thank you! i'll try to keep it turned on constantly, and see what the battery drain will be
Sent from my PMP5570C using Tapatalk HD
noup... i gave up after a few days... the battery drain is too big... even when it's pluged in, the charging process takes a lot since i'm almost constantly using it, in such a case, it almost doesn't charge

Have u tried using tasker?
U can use that app to like turn on Wi-Fi every half hour for a minute or so to check for notifications, and then turn off.
All automated
no, but that's an excellent idea! thank you for the suggestion! will install it and give it a try
Sent from my PMP5570C using Tapatalk HD
hey... i need help with tasker... i seem to have programmed it to connect to wifi every 30 minutes, to check facebook, gmail and tapatalk, and the profile is on, according to on/off switch in tasker itself. but when i check notification icon, it says "no active" profiles.
also, i would like to write you how my profile looks like, but i don't know how i realize that tasker is a powerful app, with a lot of options, but they seem so complicated when trying to adjust them. :/
Sent from my PMP5570C using Tapatalk HD
Hmm...first try installing tasker as a system app and see if that fixes it. Also check accessibility settings as it may be listed there.
If the above doesn't work then it may be a problem with your profile.

well the problem with your first solution is that my tablet isn't roited so i can't install tasker in system/app, the other is that it might be a problem with my profile, but i realy don't know how to set it up... i mean, i tried, and i think it's good, but it doesn't have to be good. that's why i needed help in the first place

[Q] Receiving Notifications While Screen is Off?

I can't seem to figure this one out. I get Words With Friends notifications as soon as I turn the screen on, but not while it's off. The app is on the so-called protected list. Any tips> Thanks

Lol.. I was just trying to figure out the same problem with whatsapp a while ago. Chose keep WiFi on when screen off and another option not so common is under mobile network, there's an option to always keep mobile data on. It's unchecked by default. Check that.
Those were already checked on mine.
Don't know if you already solved your problem, but I use Metro Notifications (the Lite or Free version - sorry, can't post links yet) from the Play Store. It turns the screen on and pops up a thin strip of notification. If I'm not at the phone to see it, the next time I turn it on, the strips are still there to swipe thru.
It was a little irritating at first, as just about everything from the noti panel popped up, but you can easily go thru and check on/off only the apps that you want to see. I did try the devs other app which was similar (more Windows phone style) but stuck with Metro in the end.
HTH,
Mike
Same for me. Go sms is checked in the protected apes list but I get notifications only part of the time.
What power profile are you using?
I also had this issue with kakaotalk and yahoo mail, missing notifications while phone's being charged overnight. I fixed it(I think) by not using both battery saving modes, smart and endurance, and checked all apps in protected apps setting.
Edit-also stopped using smartcover flipcase.

That's why I was asking what power profile they were using.

[Q] Notification delayed until screen is turned on

Hello,
I have noticed since I started using whatsapp and viber that when the phone screen is turned off, if someone sends me a message via whatsapp, the phone doesn't instantly notify me. It is only when I turn the screen back on that I get the notification. Also, when someone calls me on viber, the phone doesn't ring. Again, it is only I turn the screen on, that I see all the missed calls.
I mostly use my phone on a wifi connection and the power saving mode is set on smart.
What can I do to get notifications as they are sent and not until I turn on the screen ?
Thanks

Look into huawei's power saving thing. It diables background apps. Just put a check in the box where it says allow in background.
Settings-power savings protected apps.
