Whatsapp huge battery drain (not happened with ex note 4) - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Hi guys!
Since last whatsapp's update(the one with stories) it started to stay at the top of battery draining apps while before it was always at the bottom even with high chats usage.
Someone with this boring stuff?
These are today stats

Happened with me as well..

You can try this:
go to settings > accounts > whatsapp > something like synchronization > disable sync contacts
(activate it for short time if you have new contacts)

windows phone notifications problem

i am a windows phone user and i started using windows phone from the beginning (HTC HD7) now i have lumia 920,720,620,630,625 and they all driving me crazy with the notification problem.
the problem is after i install a new app every thing work fine for 1 or 2 days then i boom no notifications at all. i tried soft reset, hard reset, update every thing in the book and still no solution for this problem i am now one step away from selling or giving or throwing all my lumias and get any android phone just to get my notifications any one here can help me or explain this thing to me why all the apps have notification problem in windows phone whyyyyyyyyyyyy!
(my girl friend and my brother girlfriend they both have lumia 620 too and they have the same problem)​
If you don't periodically open the app (it should be something like a week or two, not two days, but still) the OS assumes you don't really care that much about the notifications and cuts them off to save battery.
You can see info about the status of background features (like notifications) in Settings -> Applications -> Background Tasks
No i am talking about whatsapp facebook viber... Apps that i use daily and i have wp8.1 .
This problem is really driving me crazy :/
Follow the below Instructions.
Hope you have choosen to allow Push Notifications on fisrt start of the application.
Battery Saver > Settings >Battery Saver (Off)
Or put it on "When Battery is low"
Make sure that background permissions for app is allowed.
Now go to
Settings > Notifications+access > Your Desired App >
1. Allow to show in Action Centre.
2. Show Notification banners.
3. Notification Sound default or whatever.
Press thanks if this helped.

push notifications are allowed in all the apps and in the setting and the battery saver is off.
no notifications
Hmm, something wrong with you.
You need to submit your device to Nokia Care having the issue with firmware.

I use Windows Phone for a long time. From HTC 7 Mozart to Lumia 920 then Lumia 930 and I never have a problem with notification. I think it will be some misconfiguration of your.
What data connection you use? You should try to disable both battery saver and data sense. Then make sure that you didn't disable any notification in settings -> notifications+actions.
I am using wp for a long time too from the htc hd7 to 920 630 720 625.. An i have this problem in all my windows phones my battery saver and data sens are both off i think that the problem is from ms notification server i did some search and i found similar problems in different wp devices . I sent email to ms and still no response
Yes, this problem exists. Only built-in app has toast notifications on WP8.1.
Does Microsoft know about this problem? Are they working on a solution? Or is there any solution you know?

Hi,
I'm having the same problem with Microsoft Outlook. I have it set to 'manually manage' in App Launch, but that hasn't fixed things. Any ideas please?

Allow unlimited data access, whitelist from battery saving, and allow to run in background.
Allow the app to ignore battery optimization too

I've tried all the suggestions here and still have trouble. I'd leave my phone for an hour or so, turn the screen on and a whole bunch of notifications come pouring in from WhatsApp, Gmail, Messenger etc.
My settings are:
1. Apps -> Apps -> Special Access -> Battery Optimisation -> Not Optimised (for all my email and messaging apps)
2. Battery -> App Launch -> Manage Manually (for all my email and messaging apps)
3. Wireless & Networks -> Data Usage -> Data Saver -> Off
Is there anything else I need to do? This is a serious problem for me and quite frankly, I need to get a new phone if this keeps happening.

Launch app, go to recent apps, swipe down and hold app until lock icon appears, win. This worked for all of my affected apps. Good luck.

Thanks for your reply. I've already done that actually. If you don't touch your phone for say an hour, are you sure the notifications are coming in when it's sleeping and not just when you turn your screen back on?

Thanks for your help, I've discovered the issue now. I don't remember if someone mentioned this earlier and I'm not sure how I missed it, but the issue wasn't the apps closing when the phone went to sleep (since I did everything to make sure they didn't close), the problem was that the phone would switch off LTE and/or Wifi when the screen is off. The setting that controls this is in: Settings - Battery - More Battery Settings - Stay connected when device sleeps. Make sure this is turned on (it was turned off for me before).
I feel almost certain this was turned on in the past and feel it was only turned off in one of the firmware updates. I most certainly would never have turned that off. I can't believe they would use that as a default option since I can imagine only the most battery conscious users would want that off. They should at least have an option where the phone would automatically turn data back on periodically to check for notifications. I know there are third-party apps that do this but if they're going to include an option like that built-in, they should do it properly.
Anyway, problem solved, hope this helped someone else out there.
I have the same issue, but Stay Connected is on, and has been for as long as I've had the problem (2-3 days). No new apps, no new updates, affects all my apps. Driving me nuts. Anything else than doing a full wipe left to try?
same here, till yesterday everything was working fine, i didn't install a new app, configuration of battery settings, data background running is the same, also app locked in recent to run backround as before. update i did before 3 weeks. very strange
I'm very sure this problem occur since the newer software update, my device have same issue.
You can check how to remove PowerGenie (the huawei stock battery management), removing PowerGenie 'might' help you fix it.
I called Huawei and asked, and got a fix! It's not a huge lump of fun, but this is it:
Settings - System - Reset - Reset all settings
Note: all your stuff is still there after reset. Only thing that happens is that it forgets your wlans, your fingerprints, face recognition, lock screen pass/pattern, and all kinds of logins and permissions on your apps. And your apps will jump out of folders and make a hell of a mess. But it worked splendidly for me, notifications are popping up as they should, when they should. Gave me a nice chance to re-arrange my apps even.
Happy thoughts to Huawei (Norway) for having customer service available on the phone, on a regular number, and answering within a few seconds.

I just did it today and it was a complete lost of time. In addition of losing all settings (bluetooth, Wifi, applications and folder on launcher,...) it was not helping with notifications: no Outlook, no WhatApps, no banking app... In other word, nothing, it was worse than before.
I will continue to test settings like controlling launching applications and exclude applications from battery optimization.

It has worked wonders for me at least, notifications are doing their normal thing, including sending them to my FitBit. But I guess there are all kinds of settings that can mess up your notification system =/

Is it just push notifications you're not getting or are messages not coming through at all until device unlocked/app opened? I've been trying all sorts, searched "data" in settings and stumbled upon "unrestricted data access" all apps are disabled on this. Hoping next few hours will show that's me sorted finally.
Once my screens been off 15 minutes, friends WhatsApp msgs only show 1 grey tick their end until I open WhatsApp again

How to keep Whatsapp alive (did try every "legal" trick in the book!) ?!

I am with CLT-L29 on stock 9.0.0.236 I noticed that recently (maybe after some recent system or app update) Whatsapp gets killed if the phone is on idle for longer time, say 20-30+ min.
I have the following set:
* Battery/App launch/Manage manually - all options enabled for Whatsapp (and only this did the trick in the past)
* Special access/Battery optimization/WhatsApp -> Don't Allow
* In Recent applications screen I have swiped Whatapp down and now it is with padlock and not being removed from recents when pressing the dust bin.
* Also did try to kill process "Power Genius" that I read is Huawei power manager - but I don't think this can be done without root
* Also did uninstall/fresh install of Whatsapp
Am I missing something?

Did you try rebooting after setting to manual in battery settings?
Hi, I had this for two days, after that it has started working perfect, wasn't just whatsapp for me either. Think some sort of learning system in emui is broken with regards to regularly used/priority apps. As you, I went through all menus.... Twice.

Twice?! I did it maybe more than 20 times!
Unfortunately it did not improve... I played with this over the last weekend, still yesterday evening and today morning - whatsapp web was saying no connection to the phone until I wake it up or open Whatsapp on the phone.
I will let it be for the time being (since out of ideas and don't want to reset the phone just for that). But it is driving me crazy since I use whatsapp for work as well and during the day (also in the evenings) I am checking every now and again if whatsapp is still running...
Same for work. I thought maybe it was to do with me using an always on music widget while I'm at work but it carried on working fine when I got home suddenly. God knows why then

Are you sure it's only WhatsApp?
Try those too:

Well, I mostly use whatsapp... At one point email notifications were also delayed a lot (Gmail), lately it is better...
I noticed that it mostly happens when the phone has been idle (out of the pocket sitting on the table) for long time 10-20 min.
Those were already set as suggested:
Settings -> Battery -> More battery settings -> Stay connected when device sleeps -> Enable
Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Data usage -> Data Saver -> Disable
Make sure you set it to manual and all 3 options are on.
Now go to settings-apps-apps-3 dots in the right corner top-special access-battery optimization - find whatsapp and press allowed.
After that reboot in recovery and delete cache.
If it doesn't work then sue Zucc
Oh yeah, reinstall whatsapp after doing the stuff you did. This will fix your issue
never had any issues with Huawei and WA. the only thing had to do was to select that WA will be handled manually (no auto battery management for this app) and to not kill the app after phone goes to sleep

The Restless Soul -> didn't you mean "Don't Allow" - since this is the option to remove whatsapp from battery optimization - screenshot attached? (if so, I have tried that with no improvement).
I did try whatsapp reinstall already and cleared phones cash. But will clear the cash once more...
Most definitely - once the phone goes into deep(er) sleep whatsapp (and probably other background apps) get killed.
Also noticed yesterday that Gmail too, delayed an email (I received it 40 min after I got it on my desktop) until I started using the phone...

It was the same with me in the beginning...
Not sure when exactly it changed - I am now on 9.0.0.236
Strongly considering killing the Huawei power management application as per the below guide, the down side - will no longer be able to see the power consumption details:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-pro/themes/remove-powergenie-to-allow-background-t3890409
Yesterday I left my phone for more then 2 hours just laying on the table...
I got 1 missed call from Whatsapp and my Gmails delayed until I opened the Gmail application (by 2+ hours)... so it is not only whatsapp - problem with push notifications of any sort when the phone is idle.
Today I did:
C:\>ADB shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.huawei.powergenie
Package com.huawei.powergenie new state: disabled-user
Let's see what will happen...

OneUI upgrade: notification issues

Hi all,
I have a Note 9, specifically SM-N960F (HW MP 0.700), its an Exynos I bought in Australia.
Samsung doesn't seem to have community forums in Australia, and the US one needs one to use an American ZIP code to sign up.
After my upgrade to OneUI, there may have been a few notification issues in the beginning, but later they've become worse. Quite a few apps don't notify, this issue is especially with G-Tasks, an app for reminders and lists. I don't actually remember Gmail working for a long time either, I have to manually open it to check for emails.
Even if I open the G-Tasks app a few mins before a reminder is supposed to be triggered, it won't happen. In developer settings, at the bottom there is a heading called "standby apps", where is seems is the only way to set apps to "active" so they don't automatically get put to sleep.
There doesn't seem to be any list or setting in the battery section in maintenance to select apps that never get put to sleep.
I've seen this link, but it doesn't seem to change anything:
https://www.theandroidsoul.com/one-ui-notifications-problems-and-fixes/
So, most other notifications work, but Gmail, G-Tasks and likely a few others don't. I've set both of these apps to "Active" in the standby apps section in developer options and also checked their own notification settings, disabled, then enabled their notifications, and nothing changed.
Any advice?
Thanks
Have you also confirmed that they are not enabled in 'Sleeping Apps' and 'Optimize battery usage'? Yes, OneUI did mess up with battery settings organization so here's how to navigate to each of these:
Sleeping Apps: Settings > Device Care > Battery > Settings on TDM in top right > Sleeping Apps. You can also play with other settings here.
Optimize Battery Usage: Settings > Apps > Special access on TDM in top right > Optimize battery usage.
PS: TDM is acronym for 'Three-dotted menu'.

Hi Paras,
Thanks for your advice, I've had a look and only Maps was set as a sleeping app. I've always have power mode set as medium and have just set it to optimising to see if that helps anything. It previously didn't affect my important notifications.

With medium power saving, is 'Restrict Background Data' ticked in your case? That will cause apps to only download data (and thus, notification) when they run in foreground. Each app can also be restricted or whitelisted to download data in background.

Hi Paras, yes, good point, I tried it by unticking the apps using wifi and mobile data in the background so that it only had "Limit CPU speed" ticked, and reduce brightness by 10%, and screen resolution to FHD+.
Gtasks still didn't trigger, I've put the power saving to optimised again and thats only when it works.

Reset the app preferences. Keep the app whitelisting or blacklisting as default. And then enable medium power saving without restricting data. You never know which service is responsible for fetching notifications.

Hi Paras,
Yes, I've also questioned which system service handles notifications and if there are settings or configs related to it.
For resetting app preferences, to you mean the individual apps and seeing if there is a button to set everything back to defaults? Are you referring to deleting cache? I've deleted cached for both Gmail and Gtasks apps a couple of days ago and it didn't seem to make a difference.
For black and whitelisting, are you talking about sleeping and disabled apps in the battery settings?
In developer settings, at the bottom there is the standby apps section and I've put Gmail as "working_set" as that seems to be what many other apps are.

- There are different services for showing notifications for different apps. For GApps, find anything related to Google.
- Find Reset App Preferences option on menu in 'Apps'.
- Apart from battery settings, Apps > Special Permissions > Optimize Battery Usage.

Hi Paras,
Thanks a lot for your advice, I've tried this for a couple of days now and it seems to work, I think the likely issue was to select certain apps and disable "optimisation" in the apps section.
Man, I only went into Apps to check permissions and maybe "Force Stop", I had no idea they'd bundled extra settings, including power management, crazy, they should have this in the battery settings.
Loads of other people must be having issues with certain apps, its important for people to easily isolate their important apps when they don't work, so Android just lets them run as normal, even under battery savings.
Thanks, you've helped me solve my problem.

Thanks very much, will look through it, I may even write to Samsung about it for them to make it easier, especially for battery management.
Fisher
I emailed Samsung Australia,
They replied saying they've forwarded my advice to the main office.
I linked in this thread in my email to them, hopefully they'll see your guide Paras.
I was shocked to learn how complicated these settings have become, thanks a lot.
It was very weird how after searching, I never came across it on the net.
I'll mention if Samsung contacts me again over this, hopefully a simple move or addition of the battery optimised app list from the Apps section in the main settings list to the battery settings in General Maintenance will happen to put all battery management related items in one place.
Fisher
Thank you for the support, man. Wish you a great experience with your beast!

Notifications not getting delivered in Android 10

Hey All,
Since the update to android 10 I have noticed some apps I don't get notifications if they aren't running in the background.
Initially Whatsapp was like this, but since the last update that seems to be fine. But apps like Discord, unless I have it open in the background I don't get notifications. I have no issues with Kik, Slack or Messenger.
Is there something I can tweak to carry on getting notifications if the app is closed.
i never had any issues for notifications.
you can go to Settings,Apps,Discord,Battery,Background restriction(make sure its App can use battery in background)
then below it Battery Optimization,look for Discord,press Discord and choose Don't Optimize.
hope it helps.

Hey, thank you, I will give it ago. It's weird how it was fine in Android 9, and even weirder Whatsapp started to behave after the first update after the Android 10 upgrade.

Honestly. I never had those issues on Android. Only on IOS. But my wife whom is an IOS user since iPhone 4 up till 11 Pro Max has never faced the issues i faced. Well that's weird but im fine with it xD

Hey All,
Since the update to android 10 I have noticed some apps I don't get notifications if they aren't running in the background.
Initially Whatsapp was like this, but since the last update that seems to be fine. But apps like Discord, unless I have it open in the background I don't get notifications. I have no issues with Kik, Slack or Messenger.
Is there something I can tweak to carry on getting notifications if the app is closed.

You need to go to Settings--> Battery - - > Power Master - - >Auto start manager - - > Select the apps you want to get notification for
Also, make sure you haven't put the notification on silent for that app

Thank you so much, Auto Start Manager was off for all the apps I didn't get notifications for and on for the ones that I did - setting the ones I wanted to on fixed this.
Is there any reason why some apps are off and others on?

I don't know why it's on for some apps and off for others.
