Data not syncing consistently on all firmwares - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
First let me explain the situation: I've noticed recently that a lot of my apps, such as Gmail, Facebook Groups, Messenger and pretty much any app I need to have instantaneous notifications, aren't syncing properly. I might get notifications an hour or more after they are delivered. Even when I force-sync an app, such as refreshing the notification feed on Facebook Groups, there are delays that can go on indefinite until I get sick of waiting. I don't even know what the conditions are for this problem to occur because other times such as on WiFi, I have pretty consistent data syncing. Just a couple minutes ago I tried turning on and off airplane mode which seems to have fixed the issue. I'm going to see how long this lasts.
Here is the app I'm currently using that may affect data synchronization.
- Greenify: same problem persists regardless of settings and root. Haven't tried completely uninstalling it.
So just to be clear this issue persists from firmware to firmware regardless of Android version. I've had many android phones and am very aware of flashing procedures and all the ways to enhance my phone. My phone is unlocked and I flash firmwares using flash tool. I've tried fixing this issue by running rooted and unrooted to no avail. I've also taken all these apps out of the doze mode and turned them all on as priority.
Please let me know if you have any solution to this. It's costing me business.
Thanks!

[Q] (SGSII - CM9) Sleeping, WiFi, Google servers and push

Sorry, I cannot post the links since I'm such a noob, XD. In approximately 7 messages I'll edit with the full links.
------
Hi XDA! I'm the proud owner of a SGSII since Sept 2011. A problem I've had since day one is that Whatsapp, Gmail, FB, etc don't behave in a "push" manner, meaning I'll often get the notifications half an hour after they should have arrived.
Recently, I rooted and updated my phone to Samsung's ICS rom and noticed that, when I woke up in the morning, I wouldn't have any notifications until I started toying with the phone for about 5 minutes, in which moment I would be flooded by emails, FB messages, whatsapp messages, etc.
Hoping to kill this unhealthy trend I upgraded to CM9 and flashed the latest radio through recovery. My problem now is that the moment the phone switches the screen off, it seems to lose connection with google servers. (I interpret that when the WiFi and network icons are colored grey instead of blue is because they have no connection to google servers, please correct me if I'm wrong.). Of course, my original problem stands but it is now aggravated by the fact that this happens every time I turn the screen off. WiFi remains on, but without server connection, as in this screenshot: i.imgur.com/SkLrQ.png
My ICS version is 4.0.4, I'm using the 22-04 CM nightly, I usually update it once a week more or less and will do it tonight to rule this out. I guess if it were a CM problem there would be more awareness about this. More info about my phone: i.imgur.com/y6avq.png
I should note that my WiFi sleep policy is turned to never switch off WiFi. Also, I leave my phone charging every night before going to bed. WiFi is always on while discharging but I still don't get the e-mails: i.imgur.com/0W37j.png
Please XDA, is this a phone problem? a rom problem? a router problem? Your help will be very much appreciated.
Don't hesitate to ask if you need more data for diagnostics.

So, what exactly is your problem?
1. Push notifications take several minutes to appear on your phone:
That's quite normal. Push does not mean that you will have no delay.
2. Google service (Gmail) does not sync onm your phone:
Have you wiped cache partition and Dalvik cache?
Have you cleared Gmail app data?
Have you done a factory reset?
Maybe you need to remove your current Google account and re-create it afterwards.
Good luck !
Thanks for answering!!

No, the problem is that every time the screen goes out while on WiFi, the phone will lose connection with the Google Servers. This doesn't delay the e-mails and messages from coming in, it directly prevents it. Messages won't come through until I've toyed with the phone for several minutes after waking it up

Yes, I wiped all the caches and cleared Gmail data. Since this post, I updated to latest CM Nightly, Siyah Kernel and XXLPS radio (which I believe is the latest). Still no improvement.
Will keep trying variables and update with results. Thanks for your help.
I have a similar issue with my Android devices as well, pretty sure it's not related to the internet since I've tested 3 phones (stock nexus one, stock galaxy nexus and custom SanFran) on 3 different wifi networks and they all seem to lose google server connection every 16 minutes.
going into *#*#8255#*#* i can see heartbeat timeouts every 16 minutes whenever the phones are connected to wifi network.
the only thing i haven't tried is to sign into another google account, will try that sometime in the future but not sure if that's going to help.
shudnt be wifi problem. i am using whatsapp on 2G / 3G and having same problem as well. Only started when moved over to ICS. Did not seem to have this problem when in GB.
You sure you don't have wifi sleep modus on while screen is off?
It's in the settings somewhere.. (maybe by battery and maybe by connections/wifi?)

[update] Seriously why is this phone freezing on 3g/wifi? (NOT random reboot)

It's like one day it decided to crap out. I hadn't changed any settings or installed new apps, was on nottachtrix, and suddenly when the wifi or mobile data are on the phone hangs left and right. Oh and the battery won't charge up properly (hardly at all) when it's in this state; off the charger it runs down to zero in just a few hours. Turn off all connectivity & it works just fine. Wtf?
I've fully fastboot wiped, moved back to a good fruitcake, moved to a good blur 2.3.4 rom, and within 24 hours the glitches slowly return. The fact that wifi works leads me to think software issue not hardware, but I'm at a loss otherwise.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
UPDATE: nvm fixed it.
Here's what I found: My stock email app (which was synced to my work email) had somehow gone haywire. Since I only run modified stock roms, and this was a stock app, the issue persisted through every full wipe / reflash I'd gone through.
Symptoms were as described above. "Motorola Services" was eating up ~25% of a given battery charge because it was constantly pinging to sync my contacts -- in the meantime, that process was also taking priority over every other task I tried to do (like view contacts, launch other apps, etc) causing frequent FC errors that would all resolve themselves if I pressed "Wait." If I disabled wifi and 3G, the runaway sync process would stop and my phone would act normally.
So I've deleted that email account; that leaves me with my Blur and Gmail accounts on the phone. Three days and no problems whatsoever; "Motorola Services" doesn't even show up on the list of apps draining the battery anymore.

Problem installing apps & sending/receiving texts

Hi all,
I've read a bunch of useful stuff on this forum and hope you guys could provide an answer for the 2 issues I have on my Honor 7.
Since a few days sending texts takes extremely long time. Incoming texts also have a serious delay (hours later). I've checked with the provider and they don't have any issues on their network.
Second issue I noticed is that installing/updating apps from the Play Store is also very slow. Downloading is normal but then it just waits and waits a very longtime before it actually starts installing ... I cleaned the cache and restarted my phone already several times but no luck.
Before I continue with a backup and factory reset, I would like to ask for any ideas or thing I could try to resolve these issues.
Thanks in advance !
Update: I did a factory reset and had my phone import apps/settings etc from my Google account.
texting and installing/updating apps were working fine again So me was very happy !
However ... a few hours later of checking apps and re-configuring them ... I noticed a had the exact same issue again ! :crying:
Clearly there is some software/app issue causing this, but I have no idea which one, how or wat is causing this.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
I've factory reset again my phone and am now configuring manually without the Google backup ... #wasteoftime
memory left
both problem(slow text sending/receiving & app downloading) have one thing common issue with the Network. can u run a internet speed test or try using home broadband/wifi
also can you check and share how much phone memory you got
how many apps u got running in the background
when i used honor 7 i did notice that phone get slow/unresponsive if your internet is poor
also uninstall/disable facebook messenger or at least roll back to basic version if u must want to keep it
updates mostly make phones slow
I have the Honor 7 premium and it has 32GB storage and 3GB RAM. Before I did the first factory reset today, there was about 5GB of free storage space. The downloading of apps is actually just fine but between 100% downloading and beginning the actual install, there was a veery long waiting time.
I don't use Facebook on my phone and the working speed of my device was also still working fine. it's just sending texts that just takes ages and I'm receiving texts with hours of delay.
I'm sure it's not the network or provider as after both factory resets it worked fine again. It still does after the 2nd reset but now I'm installing/configuring apps one by one and testing sending/receiving texts every 2-3 apps.
I'm pretty sure it is related to some app conflict that appears al of a sudden but have no idea what ....
Think I've found it ... devexpert.net Weather & Clock Widget
I uninstalled it (which took a long time) and Play Store installing/updating + sending & receiving texts is working fine all over again
I've used this weather widget for about 2 years and just a few days back it started causing issues. How strange is that?

MIUI 10 bug or my mistake?

Hi to all!
I have the Global Rom, as far as I know!
The phone is in original state, no unlocked boot, no root, no nothing!
Since it updated to the MIUI 10, I get a "malfunction" in the app update, whether it's thru the PlayStore or the MIUI's updating app.
When it senses Wi-Fi, the apps to be updated starts to loop between the "Downloading" and "Waiting" states, but none of them really starts the updating process.
And this is running in background, consuming the battery very rapidly!
In the PlayStore, I can stop the updating procedure, wait a few moments and click to update and then all goes well.
In the MIUI app, I can't do the same because, no matter how many times I click to stop, it doesn't and I can't kill the process.
The only way to stop it, is to shutdown the WiFi. But, as soon as I turn it on, resumes it's strange behaviour.
Would it be because I have a VPN connection always on?
Does anyone has the same problem?
As anyone solved it? How?
After digging a while, I've came to the following conclusions:
-the Xiaomi's update app, for their own apps, doesn't work with a VPN; I need to disconnect from the VPN and allow it to update on "normal" WiFi;
-the PlayStore does work, if I proceed like I've mention before;
Is this normal? Can I correct this privacy problem?

I´m not familiar at all with this kind of issues, I just think you could start;
- By checking your region from additional settings so miui has different policies for some of them and I guess the apps are slightly different for some countries.
- If your VPN has random locations then this doesn´t match with your region settings.
- Clearing cache and data in updater and downloader manager apps.
- Giving only permissions as your convenience to these two apps.
- Like last resort formatting data in stock recovery.

Notifications late or not showing on wifi connection

Hello everyone,
I've been having this issue for several months now where all my social apps like messenger, instagram, whatsapp, flock, gmail and so on won't show notifications when my phone is connected to any type of wifi.
The notifications are late, or they show up when i open the app. Sometimes they repeat themselves even after i checked, like something is blocking them till some point.
I tried SO MANY things to fix this (factory reset, disable device care and any battery saving settings, reinstalled apps,...) and ended up using 4g all the time as the most solid one for the time being.
It's just very frustrating that something as simple is this is not getting fixed for a long time now.
Does anyone have similar issues? Or maybe even a fix for this? I noticed this happening to other people around me using different samsung devices.
I don't know if this is a samsung related issue or something else.
Thanks!
