On my S7 Edge, S8, and S8+, I've been able to selectively disable Battery Optimizations from apps like Nine (Email), Facebook Messenger, and other apps to ensure they don't go into deep sleep mode (Doze) to ensure timely receipt of emails or Facebook Messenger Messages.
On my Note 8, the menu is unchanged from the other devices, but I noticed the functionality is no longer working. The difference being Android OS 7.1.1 vs. 7.0 on the other devices.
In FB Messenger, the tell is when you open the app after a few minutes, if you see the orange bar that says "connecting to network", you know the app disconnected in deep sleep (Doze). With Battery Optimization disabled for this app, this disconnect should no longer occur, but it is.
In Nine, the tell is when your phone randomly pushes a bunch of emails to you, sometimes 20-30 minutes delayed when on the earlier Samsung models, the emails come in right away. This is not an app-related configuration issue, but Doze issue.
Perhaps a glitch? Has anyone else tested on their Note 8 and experienced the same?
I wouldn't even know how or where to report a bug like this to Samsung.
No one ever replied. Has anyone experienced the above? Perhaps resolved now? I ended up going back to my S8+ because of this problem.
Had same problem with random disconnections even with Battery Optimizations and Battery Monitor disabled for Messenger, Im using an old version now (91.0.0.19.70) with the old interface and no problems since... I found latest versions of messenger very buggy at least for me.
About Nine, don't know as I use Outlook and never had a problem with it since I have this phone.

On my S8+, I use the latest versions of FBM (beta stream). No issues with regards to connectivity itself (the app is buggy sometimes as its beta though). It was only on the Note 8 where even disabling the battery optimizations for Messenger (and other apps) still forced them to disconnect.
I have the same issue. My phone is Factory unlocked and from Malaysia, used with an American Sim card inside.
So I recently bought the Asian version
SM-N9500
Android 7.1.1
I also experience the issue. Took EVERYTHING off app optimize battery usage. Even took it off monitor list and added to white list. Delay is still there.
I've just downloaded an app off the play store called PNF No-Root which basically pushes every 5min (you can set different interval up to 1min) that syncs everything. So far i've gotten whatsapp msg 2m-3mins late but so far I can't figure out what else to do to fix this.
This is driving me insane when my entire business is built online and I need to respond ASAP.
Was this ever resolved? I'm worried the issues will carry through on the S9

I'm aware of these steps. The issue was on the Note 8, these steps were ineffective as opposed to the S7 / S8 series of devices where it worked just fine. I was wondering if this was ever resolved on the Note 8.

For resolved you mean that if it works in note 8? Well, it works fine with my 950F exynos 128 GB, in fact, vital systems app are not easily dozed, the likes such as chrome, keyboard, playstore, gallery, sms, gmail, etc

Ok it would be tough to test with you then. With Messenger, if Doze is enabled, the app will keep losing its connection and every time you open it, it would say connecting to network. With Doze disabled for Messenger, this problem goes away, except on the Note 8.
I was able to test a Canadian S9+ on Oreo, the issue does not seem to affect it. I am optimistic that the Oreo update for Note8 will address this.
Yes, it's not just the Note 8, I think and I strongly believe that the problem is related to the crappy nougat version 7.1.1., I had the very same problem (email not syncing, and delaying (lollipop and marshmallow don't have it!) even on pixel, opo 3t, and s8, all of them had Android 7.1.1., the problem was almost fixed on 7.1.2.
Now, had the pixel 2 xl, with Oreo, for a while, switch back to Note8, and the problem came along.
This is the main important reasons to make me update to Oreo on note 8

I almost figured it had to do with 7.1.1.
Hello all,
I hope everyone is fine...
Is anyone facing issues with auto-connect after pairing...
After pairing my galaxy watch and my car, connection is fine...
But if I restarted the phone or the watch or even get in the car start it...
The phone keeps asking for pairing code confirmation but never connects...
I tried removing the the paired devices but that didn't work...
Every time I want to connect to the car or the watch or anything, I have to pair. it again...
It's annoying but acceptable for the watch and other devices since after hitting pair they're connected...
But the car... I have to remove the device and add it again whenever I want to connect...
My phone wasn't tested as stock,
I immediately rooted (which was a mistake, with root, I can't tell if the root is the problem or not),
I noticed that after 2 days from rooting as it was when I decided to pair my device...
I used Dr.ketan aroma installer to root with custom magisk since it wasn't supported for note 9 (now Magisk 17 and above supports it)...
So, I kindly ask if any non rooted users have Bluetooth issues or not as well rooted users...
As I plan on re-flashing latest stock and test it then root it and test one more time...
Highly appreciated for any help...
Sincerely,
Dante
same issue happen with me, Also I rooted my SM-N960F with Dr.ketan rom.
NOW I am rooted but with stock firmware everything is fine.
Found the problem, it was Xposed, there is an issue and they released a workaround... You can find it on Dr ketan thread or github... I'll post the github link later...
Hi all guys, I've been missing a long time from here, so please be care enough to forgive me if I posted the thread in the wrong place.
I'm currently using Android Auto and enjoying very much the amazing work made from Gabriele (AAAD, of which I payed the PRO version in order to help the developer's job).
I'm running AA version 6.3.611314 (downgraded from 6.4, because otherwise AAAD didn't work, since AA 6.4.... doesnt' let you show the apps installed apart from the official ones); Ford Focus Active with Sync 3 updated to 3.4 version, a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra5G (European) with Android 11.
Everything works fine, even AAAD installed programs.
The only problem is that every time I unlock the phone it disconnects from AA and then it starts again from the beginning. I opened the DEv Options in the phone settings and chose as standard setting for the usb - File transfer / Android Auto.
My question is: Why this disconnections happen and HOW can I fix it? I currently drive with the phone unlocked and, useless to say, it doesn't charge as much as it would if the screen had been off. I alredy tried with other cables, even with a Sam S9+ original one.
Thanks in advantage, any help is appreciated.
Same here, S10+ latest official, AA 6.4.611714-release, Ford Sync 3.x .
Doing so for about a week (or some more). At phone unlock, AA is crashing to Sync interface, and phone is asking for permissions in order to start Android Auto again (need to press Allow, otherwise AA will not start!)
Thx!
Same here , s10
It'd be nice to know whether the problem starts from the phone version , the AA version or from the car itself.

Guys, Google just updated the discussion thread three days ago:
Thanks for all the reports. We informed the Samsung team and they have applied a fix on an upcoming upgrade as part of the regular July maintenance release to resolve this issue. Please keep checking for system updates on the device.

Without having registered I followed for almost two years here in the forum the fantastic work that @Ivan_Meler is providing for owners of an old Galaxy S7. I got mine from my daughter. She wasn't happy any more with it because it was outdated and battery life too short. I do have a mobile phone (Nokia slider-phone), but didn't want a smartphone that calls home to Google and others all the time and is overloaded with bloat-ware. As I prefer Open Source (using Linux (Mint) as normal PC-OS) to saveguard as best as reasonable my personal data, I thought I would try a custom ROM on the S7. It took me some time reading and following up the various little (!) problems the users of Ivan Meler's LOS 18 & 19 had until I decided that it was time to try it out myself.
I got the - I think - usual problems when flashing the S7 with LOS 19.1 and flamegapps. Black screen, boot-loop, etc. but not too nasty. Finally it turned out great; with LinageOS 19.1 and a number of dedicated apps (bromite, k9-mail, Signal, Musicolet music player, VLC, Memorix, Navigator_MapFactor ) and most importantly NetGuard-V2.300 the Galaxy S7 runs like a charm and battery life is excellent. With NetGuard I deny some of the home-phoning apps (especially Navigator) the access to Facebook and Google statistics, etc. A marvelous tool provided by Marcel Bokhorst.
I have to admit that I would not pay nor do any banking with a smartphone, I prefer cash and my LinuxPC for online banking. And until now I have not inserted the SIM-card into the S7 as I still use my Nokia. With the S7 I am using my home W-Lan and throughout the city (in Bavaria) there are free hotspots from BayernWLAN. Ok, you might call me a too conservative user, but for me it works out perfectly. Until now .... we will see how things develop.
Now I have registered and thank @Ivan_Meler and all who support this fantastic forum!
