Hi, Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, all current updates applied. I have my phone set up to use my home Wi-Fi network when detected, data otherwise. Most everything is seamless and works well. When I'm home, internet connectivity and all apps work great on wifi, if I'm out and about, or if I turn wifi off for any reason, everything still works great with data. So far so good. Except... S7 Edge has an "Edge Panel" app/feature, in which I've chosen to include several among the available choices, including weather, CNN, Yahoo Sports, and Yahoo Finance. Every one of these works fine on wifi, but with data, the weather works but the other three do not. They cannot be refreshed and issue msgs like "No Network" or "No connectivity" or the equivalent. Note that when this happens I CAN get to the internet and/or use other apps successfully, INCLUDING the exact same sites from which the Edge Panel apps get their info. Because of this, I don't think it can be due to a sync setting or a "when to use data or not" setting since everything else works and I've looked carefully for a separate or more granular setting within the Edge Panel Settings menu and there is no way to set anything like this, deliberately or otherwise, that would only apply to Edge Panel apps. I cannot say this last part with 100% confidence, but I'm pretty sure this worked before. For sure now, though, this has been a solid problem for at least a month, probably longer. Once again, Edge Panel apps like CNN and Yahoo do not work on data, even while other apps and internet work fine at the same time. On wifi, everything works fine all the time. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks. p.s. someone online suggested this might be "fixed" by NOT using power saver. I was using power saving options, but when I tried not using it, it did not help this problem at all.
