Disabling Doze Not Working

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

Wait.. 960u1 is unlocked yes? Isn't the updates from Samsung? I mean we have the same hardware and same software. FM should work, it's not dependent on the carrier while WiFi calling night be.

FM live radio is not carrier dependent and does work on the latest update.

So this update repeatedly caused my GS9 to freeze and reboot, kept getting System UI and Samsung Pay Framework has stopped working messages. Finally it reboot and when it came back up, half my **** has been reset to factory. Nova is back to defaults with no backups (I did have at least one saved for my layout), my navbar buttons were put back to defaults, volume set back to default, brightness back to default, even some apps back to their defaults like Chrome.
I am on Tmobile and I know that they had problems with the May patch so they stopped rolling that out but holy ****. I am so damn annoyed that I now have to set all this **** back up again after a SECURITY PATCH. Not even any new features.
Smfh, just be wary if you are on the GS9 from Tmobile and havent updated yet. Prepare to possibly run into problems and back up what you can. Going to spend around 2 hours setting everything up again and reorganizing my apps.

Thanks for the warning. I remember a few years ago on my Galaxy Alpha every device software update used more RAM - the Operating System got larger and a little slower although it was a fast phone.
I am using a TMo S9 which I just got a few days ago ....and noticed the HUGE size of the update.
I have great battery life using a Tmo S9 on Metro PCS - possibly because most of the automatic Apps that load from TMO never loaded because it was never on the Tmo Network [ brand new ].
I noticed one bug that the Phone App is supposed to switch to a pop up [ like Note and Alpha ] if you want while using other Apps or Internet during a call- call turns into an Icon which you can move OR touch again to get full screen- [ it's in the options on the dial screen ] - BUT the update does not fix that or other bugs apparently.
See menu below for' pop up option '.
Great on Note and Alpha for calls when you need to jump on Internet quick during a call..but does not work on S9 ...
One description said the Update aids in' Camera Stabilization ' and security but I think the Camera is just so people will accept download ..lol.
Any decreased battery life or radical differences in Operating System having a much larger O.S. and having less free RAM ?
That's what hapoened with Alpha ..it just slowed down a hair ... less RAM .
Why do they need almost .8 Gig ?

My G960U1 is on a T-Mobile, still on February update(Just this morning received the following update).
(G960U1UES2ARF4/GG960U1OYM2ARF4/G960U1UES2ARF4 696.28MB) Not yet updated.
WiFi Calling - Works
Minimize App down to Icon - Works
Minimize Call App to Icon - Works
(You just need to know how to do that)
=====================
1•During a call, split the screen.
2•Choose the app you want to use during call.
3•Select a Call App.
4•Press on Split Menu.
5•Place Call App on the top layer
(Now you can move it around the screen).
6•Tap on Minimize Button
(Now you can move the App Icon around the screen).
Or even do the opposite, put another app on top of the Call App(See attachment).
You can do that with most of the apps.

FM Chip is ACTIVATED/UNLOCKED
UPDATE!
I did an update as soon as I got to the WiFi.
The first thing that I checked was the FM Chip using NextRadio. "Listen To FM" appeared and was able to use "Basic Tuner" to tune to local stations.
Some people say here that FM Chip still doesn't work.
Make sure you plug in your headphones. Because without it it will NOT work.
Have not tested anything else so far. Maybe will update this post in the future.

I have t-mobile and updated 2 nights ago and it's been working good for me so far. No hickups or anything that I've noticed. GS9+

Ffs will they ever fix the **** battery life of the exynos chipped phones ?

I'm on Exynos S9 UK unlocked and was happy to see that I now have VoLTE after the update, even get a little "HD" call quality icon when using it. Network is EE.

Thanks- yes I see that and can shrink it to a functional mini dial screen or down to Icon - very good.
Have you noticed any problems with the ARF 4 Update - I am stalling it cause my S9 is very very good on battery - SOT very long and I am afraid ARF 4 will change that.
ALSO - the one user who h.g ad trouble with ARF 4 - there is an even NEWER update now ...go right to that one maybe nefore resetting everything (?).
Anyway - I hope these Updates are efficient so they don't heat up the phone AND NOT add background processes which can't be stopped.
Meaning - don't show up in Battery Stats but increase Device Idle current draw on Battery etc .
Baraban - I have the SAME Tmobile Device but use on Metro and am stalling the Update because:
My performance ESPECIALLY SOT on 4GLTE is very very good .
Are you getting great SOT on your Device and that's why you did not Upgrade ?
750 meg for security patches sounds odd to me...
Not a Dev but somehow I don't think I need it if phone working great now ...lol.
I have no sensitive Info on my phone...

AA Shutting down after screen unlock

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.

I can confirm that the issue is related to the last Sammy update , I have downgraded to may update , now aa works perfect

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.

Nice to here. Vivo is taking actions hard and fast, But still we should not get these bugs in Flagship modules.

Bringing out the scam companies like Samsung, Vivo are doing. Am using Vivo X70 pro plus. Recently I updated my software OTA push to 36.9.7 (from 36.8.) but took a camera sample before update. Immediately after update took another sample i matter of 15 min gap. There was hell lot of downgrade. Plus other bugs impacting day to day usage. Wanted your help to voice this out. Below are the identified issues beimg faced.
1. Camera quality is greatly downgraded
2. Background apps getting auto closed like Nova Launcher, SD Maid, Accu battery, etc. Thus accessibility service also not working linked to these apps as tgey are automatically getting off. This was not there before the update.
3. Amazon app is getting auto closed at payment selection page every time thus amazon app now not useful.
Attaching unaltered image sample before & after update.
3.3 mb is the one before update
3.5 mb one is post update (see tubelight & flower design on the matress, etc)
Can someone guide me on how to voice tjis to Vivo. This is malpractice as I suspect deliberate downgrade of camera & other bugs.

I dont see a downgrade or a difference at all here.

Bluetooth will not enable - S10

Hi all! I was wondering if any of you guys have seen this issue before. I have an old Galaxy S10 that I wanted to resurrect for emulation and forgot the reason why I stopped using it was because the Bluetooth functionality, once toggled on, would look like it's trying to turn itself on but never enables.
I've tried:
Installing all updates
Resetting network settings
Clearing Bluetooth app cache / pairings
Wiping the system cache partition
Factory resetting
Re-flashing current and past firmwares
I was able to get Bluetooth to enable and function normally by random after re-flashing the firmware but would quit after 5-10 minutes.
On the S10 and my current phone Pixel 4a (with functional Bluetooth) I went into Developer options to check currently running services to compare. On the 4a the Bluetooth process is listed as having 1 process and 7 services, whereas on the S10 there were only 2 services and were missing services such as SapService, HidDeviceService, BluetoothPbapService, GattService. (I can post in an edit which services are failing to run on the S10 if need be). The Bluetooth process on the S10 will only show up once Bluetooth is toggled even though it doesn't enable, but will stop running, then start running again, rinse and repeat.
So that being said, is this a hardware issue that I'm SOL with? Are there any other remedies that I could try?
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

First off, which S10 do you have... Exynos/Snapdragon makes a big difference, but knowing the model number helps a lot in general as well.
What firmware are you on now?
On my 973U (ie, Snapdragon) I have 1 process and 7 services right now (with BT turned on)... on Oreo with January security (I have stayed off A12 because of many reports of issues on it). I can provide more detail later if needed, as well.

I have an SM-G973U (CCT) running G973USQU6GUJ3, which I believe is the last version of Android 11. I've tried Android 10 and 9 firmwares (can't recall which ones) and I've been having the same issue regardless, which makes me think it could be hardware-based.
In a couple of hours I can edit this post with the two processes that do run, if need be.

Made a mistake - my phone is 975U but that shouldn't matter.
I'm on G975U1UES6GUL1 which I believe is a later version than what you have... but I don't think that will fix anything for your issue. I was on GUL before, and everything worked fine then.
I'd say start off bone-stock after an ODIN and see if it works there (ie, don't download anything, if you can avoid it). Maybe some app you have is killing the BT? But if it doesn't work there, then yes it could just be a hardware thing... disappointing for sure.
