[Q] Anyone have issues with notifications not occuring?

I'm wondering if anyone else is missing notifications for calls, texts and emails. People will text me and I won't get an audible notification or an led blink. Same thing for calls. It doesn't do that all the time but over the past few days I've missed calls and text messages for hours because of this. I am running the stock OS rooted.
Thanks for any replies.

So nobody has issues with notifications not working but me?

Yes, I have the same issue. Seems to happen if I don't go back to the home screen before a screen timeout. If I let the screen time out within messages and then get a text from some one I already have a message from I won't get a notification.
Using Sense-o-maniac latest version with bricked 1.5 kernel.

No big issues on stock rom on my phone, but sometimes when I get two messages from two different people at the same time it goes a little mental and only gives a notification for the other txt. Then, later I discover I had received two instead of one messages.

WhatsApp - Notification issues

So I had a Note previously, WhatsApp worked perfectly fine.
I notice now that there are a lot of weird notification issues now. I ran some tests and this is what I've found.
Screen On - Clear all apps with Task Manager. Exit to home screen. Meaning, WhatsApp is not running in the background, not running at all. I use my girlfriends phone to send me 10 + messages. I get NO pushed messages, no notifications. Nothing happens. I then launch the app and see that I have 10+ unread messages under her name. I click to read the messages, and exit back to the home screen (either back arrow or home button). I send another message from her phone, and NOW I see the notifications.
Screen Off - (sleeping but app is still in the background) - I send a message from her phone, get NO push notification. But... as soon as I hit the power button to light up the screen (wake from sleep), I get the notification in the bar. I read the message, clear the notification bar.. then put the phone back to sleep. Same thing happens. While the screen is off, I get no push notifications until I turn on the screen.
Anyone having weird issues with WhatsApp? It can't be the app because it works perfectly normal on my Samsung Note. I'm thinking ICS broke it some how.

The notifications works fine for me with whatsapp. The only thing is that when I hit clear in the notification bar and haven't read the actual message, the notification will reappear again.

Same thing here just happened with me on my HTC ONE S , if screen if off and whatsapp is running i get no notification, however as soon as i press the power button immediately i get notified and the weird thing is the notification sound is the default ringtone while in whatsapp settings i have another tone set. Whatsapp was working fine. I tried reinstalling, force stopping, rebooting.
My phone is stock rom no root any help would be appreciated
EDIT (SOLVED): Disable Fast Boot under power options in settings, disabling it fixed my problem (Read it somewhere online)

I have problems with notifications when wifi is on. No problems w/out wifi

I have exact same issue on my Xperia Arc...with or without Wifi...I have ICS 4.0.3
I think it is phone independent issue...

i think you all should stop closing all apps from the task manager and everything would be fine.
you cant shut down all apps and then expect from them to work.
(at004 solution could help too)

Sorry to revive this thread, but I have a solution to the problem (I think) and I thought I might share it.
Some routers flag push messages as "Anonymous Internet Requests" which the NAT dismisses. This will effectively kill push and you'll only get your messages on the next sync.
To counter this problem you can forward the google push port to your phone.
You'll need a static IP for the phone. The port Google uses for push messages is 5228 on TCP.
Good luck with your problems!

ahh.. i got the notification problem.. there is no sound or vibrate for incoming whatsapp messages..
this happen affter i update the apps.. damn!

This happens on my brand new nexus 4

This used to happen way back when I first got my One X, but it is solved now. I thought it was because I had rooted and gone with a newer build, but I got a replacement One X stock with 2.20 and notifications work fine when screen is off.

Same issue in my nexus 4
I'm facing the same issue in my nexus 4.But this is applicable to the application which having the same properties of WhatsApp.For eg Viber.
When we are in the screen of Whats App and Viber i'm getting the notification otherwise not..
I also noticed one more thing unless we open the application the data notification in the signal bar is idle. I don't why its like that.Usually it should be always active.

Same here, with the same phone and running CyanogenMod 7.2.0.

Also seeking help on the same issue.
Seems there's no point to use this "instant" messager with this defect.

Go and complain with the makers of it as you have paid for it and using a custom ROM is 100% supported...
This is a users forum guys. If you install custom ROM some things may not work as on stock ROM.
We share experience and knowledge but not complaining about the product or demanding for a solution.
Go to WhatsApp website and tell them about the issue. I doubt they read this post.

notification led

hi, I got a quick question for those with one s. Does the led notification stopped blinking after like 10~30 minutes. I noticed that my led notification will not blink after like awhle if I do not check the phone. With my prevous phone, the notification actually will stay on until I turn the phone on and clear it but not with One S. Anyway to let it stay on forever until I tun the phone on?

Works all night for me... CM10

i got hte T Mo version that is running stock rom.I know I know, I need cutom ROM. Anyone who has stock ROM has seen this?

Same problem here, sometimes it keeps flashing, sometimes it stops after 5 - 10 minutes. Stock One S with 1.78

If you have an SMS app like Chomp or Handcent, they have a setting for how long to make the led flash.

Lightflow

I have a rmhd with lightflow installed. I use light flow for the audible and vibration only, having all led reminders off. Lightflow when working works great, but it does not work consistently. At times it does not alert at all to texts which is what I need it for. My questions are does anyone else have issues with Lightflow and is there any other app that has vibrate and audible reminders.

I have used light flow with my razr when it was on the stock rogers ROM and again with the Telstra jellybean ROM and it works great. I am only using it for the notification light and not with the audible reminders though

I gave up on lightflow. sometimes made my phone laggy. I deinstall it, and it makes the phone reboot spontaneously. I now just use Gmail label notifier for changing my notifications for each of my email accounts.
Sad too, as I purchased the paid version of the app.

I installed it tonight since it seems to be the only app(?) that can make use of the multi coloured notification LED and it FC'd on me within the first 5 minutes. I use to use it on my GS3 with no issues. I don't understand why Moto give us a multicolored LED with no way of using it?

Lightflow works great for me.

It was buggy on the stock rom, but Vitreous and Batakang both like it. Haven't had an issue since I stopped using the stock rom.

I had battery drain issues when I first got the phone so I uninstalled it. After the official Telstra JB update I have installed again and first impressions are that I'm not getting any crazy drain.
Am a big fan off this app and especially the fact I can set sleep hours for my LED.

LED problem after 4.1.2 update

Hoping for some assistance in solving an annoying problem. After updating my rooted XT926 to 4.1.2 last week, I have noticed strange behavior from the LED notification light. I have noticed this on 3rd party apps (such as Tweetcaster, Go SMS Pro, Enhanced Email) as well as stock apps (such as Gmail and the native SMS app). When I get a new text message, email, whatever, I will hear the notification sound but the LED does not activate. I have left it alone for as long as 30 minutes after hearing the notification sound, but no LED light. All the notification settings in each individual app are set as they should be. When I turn the screen on, the light will then blink once. While the screen is on the light will not blink (which I understand is normal), but as soon as I turn the screen off (as long as I didn't clear the notification) the LED will start blinking as it should.
The LED worked fine before the 4.1.2 update. I rooted using mattlgroff's utility, and used voodoo rootkeeper to protect root during the OTA. I have tried using Light Manager and Lite Flow; neither solved the issue. Using the test features in both these apps, I was able to get the LED to display each supported color, but it wouldn't work in "real life". I have factory reset the device twice, and I reinstalled all apps manually. I also tried the Motorola Notification Light Widget from the Play Store, with no luck. If unrooting would help in solving this issue, I would not be opposed to that as I was considering unrooting before taking the most recent update. But, I do not know of a way to unroot besides mattlgroff's utility, which apparently is not currently possible after the 4.1.2 update.
I would be very grateful if someone could shed some light on this issue. Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: After doing a full SBF and reformatting the SD card, I am still having this issue. Am I the only "lucky" one?
