ping not working when screen off

[Frejoh466]

So I'm trying to test if I have access to internet, so I run ping www.google.com, if false turn on wifi, then turn on mobile.

So what I found out was that the ping command does not work when the screen is black, but once I wake the phone the ping commands work. The phones does have internet access when the screen is off, as I can download a http page.

Is there a fix for this or an other way to test if I have internet access?

At mine it is still pinging after it sleep, LP 5.1. I tried in Bliss with Oreo 8.0, when it lock the device the ping still work (continue to the true branch). Maybe it is something with the sleep policy which suspend Autamagic function. Try to recheck again all permission for Automagic, make sure it is whitelisted from battery optimization and its kind.

You can try alternative using execute command. Other thing you can test is to ping from terminal emulator (other app), and let it ping continuously, lock the phone, wait several seconds and unlock it again to see if all the pings works properly.

Changing ping to host seems to work.

Ping to host works, but not to an external address... that sounds like Automagic is running still.
But your wifi might gets disabled for energy efficiency.

2 things you want to check that i can come up with are:
- Settings ---> Battery Optimization (3-dots upper right)
- Settings ---> Wifi ---> 'settings wheel' ---> "Keep WI-FI" on during sleep"
