Question Help Weather/Clock App does not update automatically - Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

Wrong place I copied this to S21 forum...sorry for confusion
I have a Galaxy S21 Standard. I am having an issue with my weather/clock Widget. I got it years ago (and still there) it is called Weather & Clock by Interactive Sadia Arabia...on the screen you can see last update and there is a refresh button if you don't want to wait for the time you set for it to update. There is also a function that when you unlock your phone it will update. It is never updating. I was over 24 hours and it had not updated. If I click on the (Sun) and go back to the Widget it will update. I have it set to update every hour. I downloaded 1weather to see if it would work and I am getting the same issue. I read there is a way to fix this but on the Galaxy S21 does not have that feature, probably the fix was for an older model. There seems to be something on the phone blocking the function of this? I am open to suggestions, and I will let you know if I have already tried that.
BTW Clock works perfect
Thanks in Advance.

Sports app like endomondo getting killed in background

Yesterday i was riding on bike with endomondo and strava apps both running for about 3 hours and everything was ok.
But today, when i was riding only with endomondo app, something killed it after ~ 1 hour of tracking. It just died, and my training wasn't complete.
Both apps are protected in battery menu, battery mode is set on normal. I have about 1GB or more ram free. I do not use auto optimization
I heard about huawei problems with sports tracker apps, but come on, on new flagship phone?...
Any solution to this problem?
my model is european one, eva-l09 with stock rom b136
If you are rooted try freezing "power genie". Worked for me with another app that I had issues with, which relies on background process (gmd gesture control).
And/or try making it a system app.
I do not have root yet, didn't want to woid my warranty unless i knew everything is ok with this phone
today my endomondo and strava apps were killed after 2 hours and 48 minutes of workout... this is so bull****
Just add it to the memory whitelist. All settings available via preinstalled Huawei Phone Manager app.
i've added them to memory whitelist and to the battery whitelist but unfortunatelly this doesn't work at all
Nothing? It's only me having this problem, or nobody uses sports apps? Today it died after 70 minutes of training. Old samsung galaxy ace 2 recorded training perfectly...
Anyone rooted could check if this problem is still present? After you add endomondo or strava to system apps folder?
For what its worth, I am having exactly the same issues with Endomondo. Did you manage to find a solution at all?

How do you do this?
Edit: found it. Click phone manager, optimize, then the gear in the top right
Me too, I am having the same issues with Endomondo. I don't want to get root but I've set the memory whitelist and the battery whitelist.
Sadly, I gave up and now I am using Sport Tracker that, since now, didn't stop event after 2 hours.
Hi, I've done everything said in this thread but the app strava closes after an hour of use..
Anyone have found how to fix this issue?
Thanks
Have you tried another app? Mapmyride seems to be ok for me apart from when the gps gets confused and I get the odd straight line, seems to be another feature of this phone

Sorry, I don't understand, what do you mean?
As in, try a third .sport app. to rule out an issue with the app.
Yes, install android 7.0 It is fixed there
I had / have the same issue, after a few hours it is seeying it as an battery drain app and it closes it. (Running the newest EMUI and Android 7.0) ... so still not great, also using Strava (in combination with relive.cc)
will try the memory thing though
Well first of all, if not every app behave like that, and not everyone have that problem, its obvious its not problem of model but your specific device and lack of optimization(bigger companies are actually more know of lacking that).
Next.
I used before endomondo, now I installed it again... and no problem at all. So again, I would say that its problem of specific device and your system configuration.
I would suggest checking AGAIN those options:
Settings->battery-> options(top-right corner) and disable option "turn off energy-intensive applications"
And then go to Application list in settings-> select settings(bottom gear icon)->Special access->Ignore Optimization and there select your app.
Hard to say anything else, because its impossible to reconstruct behave of your phone, and see what cause the problem. In this case everything matter, starting from apps you use to settings you have on your device.

[GUIDE] Fix WiFi delayed notifications

After testing and testing, I finally fixed my delayed notifications problems and disconnection problem with apps like webwhatsapp and airdroid
I hope this can help others that have the same problem that I had. I hope this work for everyone.
Steps:
Disable Advanced Battery Optimization: Deep and Sleep
Disable Adaptive Battery
Disable optimize battery for the apps(maybe this isnt needed since I am getting notifications on time from apps that have this enabled)
Run this command via ADB or Android Emulador(this is disabledwhen you restart the phone so you need to run again):
dumpsys deviceidle disable
This is tricky, you may need to root your phone for it. You have to edit the build.prop this is located inside the system folder
Find this 2 lines
ro.vendor.qti.sys.fw.bservice_limit=5 - > I changed it to 120
ro.vendor.qti.sys.fw.bservice_age=5000 -> I changed to 10000
Lock your apps you want to receive notifications(maybe you don't need this)
But go to overview mode, click the 3 dots above the app and choose Lock
I locked my google play service too, just in case
Go to dial, and dial *#*#426#*#* this will open the GCM service(google play service) this is the guy that handles notifications.
After it is open, go to overview, 3 dots and lock it.
Now I have notifications in time, and my webwhatsapp or airdroid never lose the connection because the phone went to sleep mode.
For battery, I must say I did not noticed it got worst in FACT I think it got better, since now I can play(ragnarok eternal) for more time than I was playing before.

I own Oneplus 5, and have similar problem but my notifications does not work at all, until I wake up the device, no matter what.
Have all sleep options OFF, it doesn't help. But I heavily use Goole Pay, so I don't wan't to loose SafetyNet cert.
How can I do this change permanent? I think OnePlus never confessed that they screwed this notifications things up. And I have 8GB of RAM, and they are killing each app...

Can't keep apps running in the background

I know this is the Mi 8 forum, but I feel that the issue I have on my Mi 9 will be common across both phones, and thought I would post here too.
I've noticed that at least two apps will mysteriously stop working in the background, causing problems:
First, most important, I use my Google Voice number, not my SIM number, so I need Google Voice to be running so that it intercepts my calls and uses the right phone number to make calls. If I open Google Voice, it will work for a few hours, maybe a day, and then GV stops working and calls start going out through my SIM number.
The other app that exhibits this behavior is Garmin Connect -- my watch gives me notifications, but then, for no reason, it will stop working. Opening Garmin Connect solves the problem.
I have ensured all permissions are set as liberally as possible, even the "allow autostart" option. Not sure what else to do. Any ideas would be great. I actually didn't have the issue with my Mi 8, but I wonder if anyone has any knowledge on how this could happen on the Mi 9.
Thanks!

MIUI itself is a bit heavy on RAM, for one, and it's always been a bit aggressive on RAM management. Another thing, have you disabled MIUI's power saving functionality for those apps? I believe it only affects background push data, but I may be wrong. To configure said apps, go to Settings > Battery & performance > Choose apps and then select the apps in question and set to No Restrictions. There used to be an option to completely disable it, but that has since been removed. Another thing is to enable Developer options by tapping the MIUI version several times in the About phone section of the Settings app, then go to Additional settings > Developer options and disable MIUI optimizations. Read the prompt that pops up as I recall it mentioning something about affecting certain services.

I have set the apps in question to No Restrictions, a long time ago, but that didn't help. Today, I tried another option -- Use Adaptive Battery (Limit battery for apps that you don't use often). I turned that OFF, and it appears I've been getting alerts on my Garmin watch all day. However, I made a call and Google Voice wasn't active. I was getting excited that I'd found a cure until that happened. I'll try your suggestion in developer options and report back if it works. Thanks for that idea.
No luck -- Google Voice is still stopping, even after just a few minutes. I can't make calls on my google voice number unless I first launch Voice, then go to the phone app.

Yeah MIUI 10 + Android 9.0 are worse than previous versions of MIUI, but Google apps have issues on all devices that do not use stock or near stock Android. Have you attempted to lock the app in the task manager? Open your app, for example Google Voice, then using the task manager (App switcher), long press that app and tap the lock button. Try using the phone as you normally would and see if it helps.
@Crossvxm that's a good idea. I'll try and let you know how it goes.

All you have to to do is turn off Battery restrictions.
Also, I would suggest giving the launcher "Smart Launcher: a try. Not only is it awesome but it gives you quick access to all of the permissions, and battery optimizations. You can manage all of this from the Apps list.. Press and hold on any icon and click namage ( or the gear then manage) this is much easier then searching through the system settings for autostart, permissions, battery management etc. This is one app that is worth buying. The free version is great, but the paid version is incomparable, and I own all of the popular launchers. Smart Launcher Pro 5 is absolutely the best, and highly customizable.
My biggest issue with all AOSP roms is that the battery goes up to 105F when charging on every single AOSP rom that I have tried on the Mi8. While there is no immediate risk in the long term the battery should not get hotter than room temperature.
Back to Miui, turn off battery restrictions and you will have no issues, you also have the option of clicking the pin in recents to keep the app active.
Hi @tsongming, I've done everything possible to deactivate restrictions. I've done it the way you mentioned and other ways as well. I did try locking the app as mentioned by @Crossvxm and it might have done the trick -- will know more in a few days. I use Nova Launcher (paid version) and it has the same features you mentioned about Smart Launcher, where I can get to the settings instantly.

I run MIUI stock 10.3.3.0 with Sphinx Kernel and root. I also use Hangouts, Google voice, and Google message without issues. It's like tsongming mentioned. Turn off the adaptive battery and remove battery restrictions on each app. Also make sure they get all permissions.
Something to note , when I used Canting Kernel, I had lots of apps turn off in background including my Fossil sport watch connection. Going back to Sphinx Kernel took care of issue, probable too aggressive memory killer in Canting. Stock Kernel might have same issue idk.
./
When I had my Mi 8, I had no issues. This seems to be something new with the 9. I've disabled adaptive battery, I've provided all permissions to the app, I've removed all power restrictions. I'm not rooted, so I can't change kernel right now. It appears that locking the app might have helped a bit, but I wish I didn't have to do it.

Question Why only some of the Google calendar notifications are triggering on S21 Ultra?

Any help, where should I even look to troubleshoot this? Can I turn off all settings that might affect this, to see if that fixes things (before I resort to factory reset)?
My S21 Ultra fails to show some of my Google calendar event notifications, but will show other Google calendar event notifications.
The S21 Ultra should show all of the Google calendar event notifications, because all of the Google Calendar notifications trigger on my previous phone and web browser. It's just the S21 Ultra that seems to miss 3 out of 4 Google Calendar Notifications.
I disabled battery usage optimization for Google calendar, but it's puzzling that the S21 Ultra shows only some of the Calendar Event notifications, but I don't see any pattern, or what would cause some Google calendar event notifications to work and some don't, but only on the S21 Ultra.
Oh, to add, I checked the S21 Ultra's App notifications, to see the list of "Most recent" notifications that have been triggered.
Google Calendar shows up, but lists 14 hours ago as the most recent Google Calendar notification on the S21 Ultra. I've had several Google Calendar events that should have notified me more recently, on as recent as 1 hour ago.
I just added a test Google Calendar event using my web browser, and the browser faithfully notified me about the Google Calendar event.
It's as if the S21 Ultra doesn't even know that it's supposed to trigger a Google Calendar notification? Yet my old phone has no issues triggering all Google Calendar notifications.
The S21 Ultra will also trigger other notifications, sometimes delayed, but I consistently get my text message and email notifications, although email is sometimes delayed.
Try what I suggested here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/delayed-notification-problems-s21-ultra.4243105/
If that doesn't work, I'd suggest going to the Samsung community forums.
Just a guess...
Disable all power management... destroyer of worlds
Which app are you using on your phone?
Samsung Calendar or Google Calendar?
Samsung. Zero trust in Gookill.
I rarely use it but never have issues when I do.
However I'm on a N10+ running Pie.
Regardless power management will cause all kinds of erratic behavior issues.
Try clearing the system cache as well.
A factory reset might clear it but it's likely to return. Find and correct the root cause instead.
Usually if I work an issue over for a few days or weeks I find the solution.
Do Google searches and cross platform with other models and OSs; many Samsung issues are long standing and persistent even after years
This is many times the only option for troubleshooting newer models.

I've used Apples* and I hate them... no one wants a big sister except a gutless wimp
I got a brain... I can work it out myself.
Overpriced memory and no SD cards make them useless lap dogs to me... I hate poodles.
My 10+ looks so much better, looks and behaves exactly how >I< want it too.
Boosting close to a tb of storage, 12 gb of ram, there's not an Apple that can fullfill its mission.
I've used Androids for over 7 years (much of that time on outdated OS versions) and never had to do even one factory reset due malware. So Apple "security" means absolutely nothing to me.

Will it manually sync?
That's all you really need and probably want.
Make sure there's no firewall blocking it
Try clearing all data in Google Play Services (painless).
Try the factory load version.
Reboots are rarely needed on Android but Playstore and occasionally Gmail can be problem brats.
Double check all those damn Gookill settings
If it keeps giving you trouble try deleting then recreating your Google account.
Same problem here tried everything but nothing works .

Same account.
On Pixel and S21 Ultra.
I'm testing GMail by sending myself emails and testing GCalendar by creating events online.
The Pixel responds immediately as it should.
The S21 Ultra required me to unlock the screen for it to check. I've tried multiple things now.
Such a shame.
Unfortunately I think that I will root my device and change the ROM
The problem is that I will trigger KNOX and than it will be impossible for me to sell it in the future

You probably missed something in settings. Samsung's offers a lot more customization than Pixel.
Samsung's can be a handful until you sort them out... play with it.
Don't get fixated on one small issue.
Rule #1 to avoid erratic behavior, do not enable any power management
Set the power profile to Optimized or higher and toggle on fast charging. Done.
The infuriating part is it's impossible to tell *WHICH SETTINGS* are causing the missed notifications.
When I followed the instructions to disable all power savings (see link to instructions in earlier posts above), I got my Google Calendar Notifications for that day.
But after rebooting my phone last night, I no longer receive Google Calendar Notifications. I verified my power savings options are all turned off.
I've now turned off my personal ad-blocking firewall to see if that helps. It's not been an issue in years past.
I just want to disable everything as a test case to try to receive Google Calendar Notifications. I simply cannot see any other settings to change, but who knows maybe there is some weird setting that could affect notifications but it's totally non-intuitive?

Question Fix for Notifications in Dark Mode?

I found the following info on some Chinese sites about how to fix notifications (also in dark mode?). The problem seems that Vivo.pem or vivo kills the google play services to save battery - thereby killing many notifications too.
Fix is a clutch but could work even with .pem not removed.
Open Vivo phone - dial *#*#426#*#*
Then lock the open FCM diagnostics play services app in the recent apps drawer by putting the lock symbol.
Needs to be done after every reboot and you must not manually remove the app by swiping it up. You can save quick dial codes in your contacts (as they will not be saved to the recent call list).
The problem is - play services cannot be added to autostart...
Seems to be working for a start for me - but not sure if it really does. Info from here: https://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=754&t=6723285
Edit: so far it seems to be working for me. I will not dare to try what happens if I enable power saving mode - because each time so far that meant I would need to reset all permissions for some apps like Signal even after disabling as they would then miss notifications. But dark mode seems to be usable.
Doesn't really work for dark mode. What the above does is, that it removes the need to remove vivo.pem - but if you activate dark mode then notifications will not arrive after a certain time of no use - like 10 minutes or so.
Dark mode therefore is still broken (tested mainly with gmail).
some of our guys on telegram emailed vivo and they said that an update is coming to fix dark mode

yeah, what vivo (support) tells and what actually happens has always been a big discrepancy... It's been several updates and dark mode still broken. With the above fix of locking the FCM window it just works a bit differently to no notification at all, but no notification at all if phone has been idle for some minutes.
It's a feature not a bug...
And yeah the alternative is to install another notification app altogether - but I am pretty sure that will decrease battery life as you then have an active pull instead of the standard android push for notifcations which uses very little battery. Or use dark mode and install "heartbeeat fixer for GCM" and set it to 1 minute to force the phone to never sleep.... Both not good solutions.
Actually the only updates available were on trial so let's see if they actually release something.
