i am currently building an Android App that connects via a WebSocket (via Java WebSockets from TooTallNate) to a Server.The Problem is that on my Moto Z Play (Android 8.0) and my Acer Iconia A3-A40 (Android 6.0) the WebSocket gets closed after a random time (between 8 and 25 Minutes). On my HTC ONE (Android 5.0) this dont happend after i added wakelock and wifilock (let it run 3h, worked perfectly). The problem does not occure on the Android Studio Emulator. On my Moto Z Play i got the following log before my WebSocket is closed:

I did some research and thought it would be a doze problem that suspend the Network access but there are a few things that speak against that:
- the websocket is started in a ForegroundService (that are excluded from doze?)
- the device was plugged in (doze does not start when plugged in) and the websocket still stopped
- even when changing battery optimization, it still occured (some time later but still occured)
(but i could be wrong)
What i did so far:
start the ForegroundService via:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
startForegroundService(intent);
}else{
startService(intent);
}
acquire wakeLock and wifilock (and release when websocket is closed):
powerManager = (PowerManager)getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
wakeLock = powerManager.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, "WakeLockMyApp");
wifiManager = (WifiManager)getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
wifiLock = wifiManager.createWifiLock(WifiManager.WIFI_MODE_FULL, "WifiLockMyApp");
wakeLock.acquire();
wifiLock.acquire();
checked the onStartCommand-Method
startForeground(..)
return START_STICKY;
thanks in advance
