[Q] Forcing Whatsapp to stay connected ?

Hi,
I have a problem with Whatsapp program. It works perfectly fine when it comes to sending messages, although I have a problem with staying connected. The messages are delayed (sometimes it's even over 30 minutes) and when I simply wanna unlock my phone and text someone, the person won't receive my message until I reconnect my mobile data (grey clock icon on the left of my message). I've already seen many instructions on the net, like reinstalling Whatsapp, rebooting my phone, checking if my sync works and all that, but none of them worked for me. It really starts to annoy me, but I like this program alot and I don't want to give up on it that fast. So is there any way to force Whatsapp to stay connected full-time ?
I'm using MiniCM-2.2.0 with latest nAa Kernel.
Regards

Bump, spent the whole night browsing the net for similliar topics and found nothing...

well maybe you shouldn't give up on whatsapp but the ROM instead. What i mean is, maybe something inside the ROM/kernel wasn't installed properly and you could try reinstalling ROM and/or kernel... I know it's a stupid solution but it saved me many times when i couldn't find the answer anymore

Thank you for your reply. I already had the problem on previous ROMs (I mainly used MiniCM). Maybe I'll give GingerDX a shot. I'll tell you how it went.

Did you leave the app in background? When you leave Whatsapp, dont click back button, try clicking home button?? Dont move app to SD if you did!

i belive that whatsapp is running in background by default, so as programs such as viber, hotmail, etc. but we all know that this can be checked under settings > applications > running applications
but i agree that moving whatsapp to SD could be the problem, although i had no problem when i moved it to SD

I didn't move it to SD card and I don't use any task killer. Process manager says it is running in the background. Still no idea how to fix it.

if it isn't because of moving to SD, and it is running in background, if it isn't because of ROM (you've said that you have used some ROMs before and that there was the same problem), if your data settings work normally (sync and stuff), if the problem persist on wifi and 3g and edge,...
it occurs to me that it can only be due to two things, maybe you installed cracked version of whatsapp due to 1-year-free expiration, or maybe something went wrong when you installed your current kernel
P.S. whatsapp is 70% of communication on my X8, and i understand you very well when you say that you won't give up on it so easily

I didn't crack anything, I'm still on trial. If I wanted to get another free year, I'd change my phone number I also reinstalled the kernel too.
EDIT: Now it works properly on WIFI only. Still disconnects after couple of minutes on 3G.
EDIT2: It seems like reinstalling GDX and Alfs finally worked for me. Thanks for all the help guys

Another update:
after a few hours I'm back to the point where I started... the problem's still there. I'm really pissed off now -.-

It is only logical that Whatsapp won't implement itself right on your phone... This is all ridicoulos right know, because for as far as i know, you almost tried every solution possible, you've changed to other ROM, heck, you've even changed to other kernel and it still doesn't work.
You said it worked for a while, maybe some of the settings you've changed, and apps you've installed AFTER it was all working properly was interfering with your newly applied settings and/or installed apps

I've installed Advanced Task Killer to see if it's the problem with Whatsapp, but it didn't block me from receiving the messages or anything. I uninstalled ATK and like an hour later, the problem occured again. I'll reinstall the kernel and the ROM again and leave it with only Whatsapp installed for a day. If that doesn't work, I might just buy an Xperia Neo V :S
Maybe it's because I connect to another network instead of my providers one ? I have data roaming enabled and stuff and I connect to Plus instead of Play (even though Play says they allow such things). Could this cause the problem ?
Or Swype Beta maybe ? I'm running out of ideas...
I just found out that when Whatsapp's not showing the "last seen" date (not connected), when I enter any website in the browser and return to Whatsapp, it shows the "last seen" properly. But I still have no idea what can this be...

Wait, does it work normally when you are on wi-fi? try to test whatsapp when you are strictly on wifi (wich means that you turn off celluar data, data roaming and national roaming), so that we can definitly exclude the problem of wifi.
if the problem isn't in wifi, try to connect on your providers network (PLAY) instead of other network (PLUS), and see if the problem persists
if the probelm still persists i belive there is counterinterfering with some application...
i know that i'm offering too much possible solutions, but i think that this can only be solved by method of trying out every possibility

As from what I see for the last 30 minutes, it's working fine on WIFI. I also tried switching to Play and disabling the roamings, but it still kept disconnecting.
The apps I have installed:
- Barcode Scanner
- Battle.net Mobile Authenticator
- Dolphin Browser
- exDialer & exContacts
- GG (Polish messenger, but I doubt it causes any errors as I just installed it recently)
- GO SMS Pro
- Real Player
- Root Uninstaller Pro (I only uninstalled DSP Manager)
- Whatsapp obviously
- ColorNote
- Nexus ICS Minimal Analog Clock
That's pretty much everything I have. I didn't change anything in the settings of GingerDX itself. I'm really helpless here...

huh, nothing from that list shouldn't interfere with anything... maybe you should put back ATK and see what exactly happens with whatsapp when it disconnects from network
i'm really running out of ideas

It's pretty simple. It's got nothing to do with your ROM, kernel, 3G or WiFi - AFAIK. Rather, I think it's to some extent do to your connectivity. The app's refresh interval apparently varies. Seems worse when you have many long threads. Deleting a few threads seems to work from time to time. I however use another android device & I assure you the problem is in no way restricted to the X8

So it's normal that I get my messages delayed by around 30 minutes or even more ? I clear my logs every day, so I think the messages should arrive like... instantly :S

Hi,
Do you still have the problem of the messages getting delayed?

I have the same problem since three months now I think.
I have already tried everything you guys said here.
I have no problems what so ever on WI-FI but only on 3G.
I think it has something to do with Whatsapp, maybe even with our accounts in specific.
Did you ever fix this problem?
Because I am having it on my Samsung Nexus S.
I found that when I send a message, and I am running whatsapp in the background I still woulnd't recieve the messages.
So I hope you found the solution and could maybe share? :angel:

Whatsapp connection issues

Hi, I wonder if anybody can help me. Up until the day before yesterday I was using whatsapp fine over wifi (where I am at the moment there is no mobile signal) on my O2 UK Z1 and then whatsapp lost all connection. Everything else on the phone was working fine but no whatsapp. Every message I sent would go to the clock, no information when people were last online and the faq etc. in the settings would not load because of lack of connection.
I uninstalled the app and then installed it again and all was fine, after sending a few messages the same error occurred again. I have now found that if I clear data in the app settings it will connect again, once I have reconfigured the app and restored from backup. I can only assume that there is some sort of buffer which I am clearing as I lose a few messages when I clear data (all since last backup).
Barring doing a delete of all backups and messages does anyone have any other idea. I have looked and the backup files are about 1.7mb so not massive and I have a fair bit of storage available onboard (>7gb).
I was talking to someone with a HTC phone who had suffered similar symptoms but I have googled and searched and can't find a solution.
Any help much appreciated.
Mark

2 weeks off work and no issues, as soon as I have returned the issue has reared it's head so looks like it's something to do with the wifi here. Everything else works fine and fast so I guess I'll just have to live with it

Try to factory reset or reinstall mobile data settings

A factory reset for a cheap Whazz, huge work buddy...lol... at last it's an idea but I will try reinstall mobile settings before that or uninstall and reinstall Whatsup.

I work in a very remote location, I have wifi (which is distributed from a satellite feed) out here and for my mobile phone that is the only connection option. When I am away from work whatsapp always works, both over wifi and cellular data. At work I keep my phone in aeroplane mode with wifi turned on to try and preserve some battery (there is no point in my phone constantly looking for a non existent cellular signal).
This morning I deleted all messages in whatsapp, uninstalled the app and re-installed/configured. Usually I get a failure within 24 hours of doing this so we'll see whether this rectifies the issue.
I know I'm not the only person out here that has had the issue so it is either a coincidence or something with the way the wifi is configured here. I just assumed that the wifi would either work or not but, I am not an expert.

Google Assistant over Mobile Data

I just updated my watch to Android Wear 2.0
If I try to use Google Assistant while my phone is connected to WiFi, it works (and really well, like to send a whatsapp to someone)
The moment I try to use Google Assistant without WiFi (over Mobile Data) it says 'Can't reach Google, check if watch is connected to WiFi or your phone'
Funny thing: if I connect the phone to a WiFi signal WITHOUT Internet connection, assistant works again...?
Does anyone else have this problem? I already tried enabling every option at Settings/Apps/System Apps/Google ...

Well that is one of the reasons I rolled back to 1.5.
It would work sometimes and many times it would give me that cant reach message so basically it was making my watch useless as it was very inconsistent. :/

I'm having the same issues, I've done the enabling permissions thing as well. Any one have any other experience with the issue?
Along side google assistant not working the play store won't load or even the weather!
That being said, even though those services aren't working google maps on wear runs fine.
These are some odd problems.
*** Update! ***
Not sure what happened but for some reason it started working.

Did you factory reset anything? (your phone or watch?) installed or flash something?

Well I am on the 2 core enabled kernal. I also followed instructions to give Google all permissions on the app Page. I turned on location from phone on the watch (not sure if that helps) and probably reset about 5-7 times haha.

Ohhh.
I also have the 2 core enabled kernel. If it's not much to ask, could you be more specific on the steps for the permissions and the location? Thanks in advance.

Sure, open settings--> apps ---> (Scroll down) system apps ----> google ---> permissions ---> enable permission to phone/etc... (I enabled all of them)

I noticed something today, make sure you have location services turned on, on your phone. I turned it off for a minute by accident and noticed none of the google assistant stuff worked anymore, back on and it worked well!
Cheers

Thank you! I'll try it next time I update to AW2, right now I'm using 1.5 again

Also having somewhat of the same issue... Here's what's happening to me.
Sometimes Google Assistant works and sometimes it's doesn't for me. When it's not working my watch shows that I am not connected to Bluetooth in the connectivity settings. However, my phone (ZTE Blade X Max Z983) shows I'm fully connected, and I'm getting all notifications as normal on my Asus Zenwatch 2. If I reboot both devices everything works perfectly as it should for a short time. And of course it works fine when I'm connected to WiFi, just not over Bluetooth on a mobile data connection. Both my phone and my watch are running 7.1 so I'm not sure if the where the issue lies.

Bixby Connection Problems?

I really want to love it, but lately every time I try a command to Bixby, it comes back with a Connection Problem and to try again. But Google Assistance works fine. Guessing Samsung's servers is having issues? I always thought it was native to our device and not having to upload commands to process and decipher.

Happened three times for me. Kind of irritating

maybe location specific?
since this is my first sammy, ive been using bixby to see if i like it over google and ive not seen that error. ive had this phone since initial launch batches (tmobile variant)

When i had an connection issue, with Bixby (similar like you )
Bixby was giving connection problems
and Google Assistant was working fine .
i eventually, found that my one 3rd party app , Adguard was causing it .
Adguard uses a VPN ( server )
I whitelisted/exempted , Bixby in Adguard app list and has no connection issues since .
Above connection issue, i experienced on my S8+ and again when i forgot
to configure Adguard (VPN) on my Note 8 .

Google Maps No Voice Assistance

I got my P40 Pro Plus yesterday, pretty flawless install of GMS on the factory .137 firmware. Google Maps is now installed and it kept shutting down, but I was able to get a longer time in between oncr to download a map of a selected area. Afterward and about three restarts of the phone later it worked. All except for voice assistance. The voices is there, as I did a test, but there are no prompts. Has anyone been able to fix this and get the prompts?

I do not have this issue, my GMap / AA voice assistance working fine.
Did you try force close your map, clear cache and data, reboot ?

Yep, a couple of times. The behavior changes, though and it's inconsistent. Right now, the app will open and function so long as I never turn wifi on. The moment wifi goes on, the app shuts off.
If you have any tips on reinstall, I'd be happy to try them out.

Yes, reinstalled numerous times, also from APKPure. I reinstalled again after clearing the data and cache and it works fine now,but still no voice assistance,which others widely report as well, including in this very forum. The recovery mode thing you posted sounds sketchy. This is a brand new phone and Google Maps is widely reported throughout the internet as having broken voice assistance.

I think I was very lucky, I got mine in early Sept which is prior to existing GMS method stopped working and near all g. apps working fine.
Fingercross my GMS will not break during firmware OTA update.

Outta nowhere it's working now, no issues. I don't get why sometimes I can't even reopen the app while on wifi to having it work perfectly.
Now to try and figure out how to fix Google Assistant.
