It is impossible to set the VPN on -Always on- because when i mark this, it is
not possible to save these settings.
I like to have an - always on- VPN connection to my home (AVM Fritzbox) to make phone calls
and to rereive calls. System: A2003_28_170610 Oxygen 4.1.6
Before the Nougat update it was possible.
Is there any solution?
Sorry, have read at the internet, that it is impossible since Nougat .
That Bug belongs to Google.
Has this been fixed?

I use a special application (Blackberry Enterprise Server) on Android and I've had problems with disconnects.
The application opens a VPN back to the network to push email and notifications to the phone. The whole idea of this application is security (VPN) and always on for notifications, email, calendar etc.
So on Marshmallow the app disconnects after an hour or so (closes down the VPN) and won't receive anything until you wake the phone back up again. Totally broken as far as I'm concerned. Happens on my S6 Active and a Blackberry Priv. BB Support sheepishly admits that its a problem and says their workaround is to keep the phone plugged into a charger and the VPN won't disconnect. Total crap!!! They also told me the problem would be fixed on Nougat which would allow them to get to the app and disable the power saving feature for that app which is causing it to disconnect. OK, some hope.
In the meantime I find this app in the play store called "disable doze" and put it on my BB Priv. It stops doze from kicking in and shutting down the VPN. On the priv it actually works. Now my VPN stays connected all the time like it should. I'm ecstatic! I try it on my S6A and it doesn't work. Still getting the VPN disconnected. Bummed because I really like the S6A and want to use that as my DD.
So I come here to XDA and see the NOUGAT beta for S6A and get all excited. I flash it to my phone and set up BB Software. Now I find that the wifi shuts down after 5 minutes on Nougat. I read tons of threads about wifi turning off after 5 minutes disregarding the "always keep wifi on" setting in nougat. So far no way that I can see to get wifi to stay connected.
WTF!!! I totally understand all the power saving stuff to extend battery life, but they put provisions in there to allow those who need to be able to disable. WHY ISN'T IT WORKING? Is this related to the S6A or is it across all hardware? I don't have anything else on Nougat to test.
Any ideas on what else I could try. Love that S6A but if it's not going to stay connected I just can't use it.

Nougats in beta right now for the S6A, this isn't official firmware.
I understand its beta, but flaw like this always seem to find their way into the final builds. I'm reading threads all over the place (not just S6A) about this issue so I don't think it's just a beta thing. I'm not sure I understand why if there is a setting in the wifi to keep it on _always_ including sleep / doze etc that it basically does NOT do that.
Hey Guys,
Today i upgraded from MM to Nougat and flashed the Moonlight ROM (nobody answered in the thread) ...so far everything works fine, but I have massive problems with push notifications...i receive push notifications just from whatsapp or email...from apps like flashscore (sports app) I dont get notifications
Can someone help me?
Could a new flash of this rom help?
Edit: everytime I turn off WIFI and turn it on again, it works for a few Moments...and I receive all the messages I missed at once
The same happens with mobile internet
I have exactly the same problem and can say it's definitely GCM related, as i first experienced it while trying to get the "Join" app (great pushbullet alternative) to work properly and ran the diagnostics that are included within it. The problem seems to pass for a while when the network status changes, then no pushes come through at all until it changes again, eg. connecting or disconnecting WiFi or turning airplane mode on and off. Im pretty sure it's not battery-saving related as it occurs regardless of if the app is active or working in the background, unless it's the Google play services part that gets killed after some time but i have no idea how to check it. I've tried some heartbeat interval changing apps but unfortunately none did the trick and I'm out of ideas and this is pretty frustrating
S6 Active on AT&T - DQE1 firmware giving me wifi problems. How do I stay on DQD1?
So I had been putting the nougat builds on My S6 Active from a post here on xda. On the DQD1 build everything seemed pretty good for me. Then one morning I awoke to see that the phone had automatically updated itself to the DQE1 build. Then the problems started. Every time the phone would go into lock screen and I'd re-open it, I'd get the wifi connection message. Also had all kinds of problems staying connected to wifi. I put DQD1 back on to do some testing. Problem is, it keeps updating to DQE1 overnight. I found 2 places in android to stop it from doing that but both don't seem to stop it. Again, it updated to DQE1.
Some have suggested that I freeze the update application with package updater pro. Before I go that route, what application or service am I trying to prevent? I got another app that is supposed to allow me to suspend applications/services but I can't seem to identify what app/svc I would actually want to suspend.
U open app ATT Smart WIFI -> to settings. and config app.
or disable thit app.
Now, check wifi again.

I've had the same problems. I'm hoping the suggestion from above me works.
I have a problem with my recently purchased Tasker app. I tried posting on the official Tasker forum (https://tasker.helprace.com/s1-general/problems/top) but after I would click submit, nothing would come up. If anyone knows how to get in contact with the developers other than leaving a negative review on the Play Store that would be much appreciated.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 (not rooted) running whatever the latest version OS (Pie I want to say?).
I have a simple Profile setup to Connect to VPN when Wifi is connected, and Disconnect from VPN when Wifi is disconnected (as an Exit task) using the OpenVPN Tasker Plugin.
On rare occasion, everything works as expected.
Unfortunately, the majority of the time, it will indeed recognize the correct state (Wifi Connected), however, it will not connect to the VPN. When I go into Tasker, I see the Profile is green text, and if I go to More>Run Log I can see that it says something to the extent of:
"Active 2 Wifi Connected" then "Start TaskService" then "Running 3 VPN Connect" then "OK 3.1 VPN Connect.com.ffrog8.openVpnTaskerPlugin\n***\n*!" then "ExitOK 3 VPN Connect" then "Stop TaskService" (this is all in reverse order, since I think the run log puts the newest events at the top, but this is how I read them from bottom up).
Tasker even says 1 Task running on the notification bar on my lock screen. However the VPN is not connected. If I go into Tasker, turn off that profile, then turn it on again (via the toggle switch on the right hand side), the VPN will connect as expected and the run log will say the same exact thing.
Likewise for the Exit Task - when I disconnect from the network Tasker seems to recognize the state just fine (evident in Run Log and notification icon in lock screen), however my VPN remains connected (well my guess is it must disconnect for a short period as I transition from Wifi to 4g).
I have tried waiting a while to see if it's just a time issue, but I could wait hours and it will never trigger one way or the other (VPN Connect or VPN Disconnect). I have tried different Wifi networks. The Wifi State Active = "Any". In Android Settings>Apps>Tasker>Battery the toggle for "Allow background activity" is set to on, Optimize Battery Usage is set to off. Likewise for OpenVpn Tasker Plugin.
*Joao or anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks.
Troubleshooting = Because a Piece of Code went
Sorry to say that it looks like I am the 1st reply, as I have no real training in coding or programming myself.
I too recently began to play with such though with the intent to install it on some family member's devices ? However, like you I have not been able to get my desired automation regular enough to share it. When I 1st downloaded Tasker (I think) it had something about a "community" to share & get help with as well as more.
Trying to be helpful I ran a quick search for the specific site & as usual, Google had to go overboard with the results. Still hoping this will help you sooner as they all focus on that particular program:
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/tutorial-using-the-new-auth-system-with-tasker/82423
Just wondering if all the changes to Android OS as a whole may also have an affect on something minor such as whatever we choose to do with "automation" programming? Have seen throughout various post's & news that sort of thing....
for any other poor soul with the same problem, I read a couple of obscure comments on the interweb that the OpenVPN plugin for Tasker is no longer functioning, and all must be run through the Open VPN Connect app (NOT Open VPN for Android app) using intents. I found a guide once, and am testing it now and will report back if it works more reliably. Thank you Lone wolf for your reply.
just to update the poor souls, using intents like I said seems to work more reliably in terms of connecting to VPN. The only problem is if you go out of wifi range, it disconnects, but then are back within wifi range quickly (like somewhere with bad wifi signal), it will not connect again for some reason.
I've been trying to figure out what is causing this strange behavior on my phone but i guess i'm not alone.
The issues:
delayed notification on WiFi/mobile net (i know there is a thread to that, and i know this has been poising every android release for certain phones)
Tidal (Soundcloud, and probably any other music streaming app) connection drop after around 3-4 mins of locking the phone ( seems like mobile data/wifi is disconnecting after a certain minutes when phone locks, causing Tidal to show connection error message and stops streaming music)
Messenger call issue: calling on mobile data/WiFi, if the phone locks, same behavior happens but instantly ( as soon as phone locks, messenger call disconnects, but as soon as i unlock it connects again)
All of these apps have unrestricted battery usage, allowed background data. I think this is a systematic issue around connection dropping when the phone locks. Maybe this is also the cause for notification delay. I'm new to the S21 ultra but not to android, never experienced these issues with any other android phones (not even with my S8) Anyway, if someone has an idea on this i would appreciate it.
Edit: I'm on unrooted, fully stock os (G998BXXU4CVC4), OneUI 4.1, march security patch
What OS version?

You can try:
Clearing the system cache.
Factory reset, if so do not use SmartSwitch
Or a full nuke rollback to 11.

There is no way to go back to 11 because bootloader is newer that it was on 11.
Maybe the fact that I'm always connected to VPN (Mullvad VPN) has something to do with it? (Mullvad app also unrestricted)

Highly likely. Try going without it for a while.
Update for those of you with the same kind of issues: I'm now pretty sure the cause is the VPN. Mullvad is using wireguard, I reached out to them and they recommended to change the MTU 1300 from the default. So far so good with this value, notifications arrive instantly and no connection drops.
