The ongoing Skype notification on my tablet is fine and I do not wish to remove it like many other threads state, but today I updated Skype for my Eee Pad and the initial 'Skype Signed in' ticker that displays when you sign in repeatedly pops up in the bottom corner while in the app, if you are typing at the time the notification ticker text pops up the keyboard input freezes interrupting your typing. This is very annoying as while in the app the ticker pops up every 10 - 40 seconds roughly, and while in other apps when Skype is open in the background it pops up every few minutes.
Its not like Skype is losing connection either and simply telling me it has reconnected because I have asked people while this problem is occurring and they report I have a constant connection their end not alerting them that I have suddenly signed out or anything. I am also conne ted to a strong wifi signal too. Does anyone else have this issue with the latest version for Skype on their tablets?
Working fine here, haven't had any keyboard freeze up or anything special.
same here
yes! am having the exact same problem & it's very very annoying, don't know what causes it, if any one have the solution i would be grateful.
BTW: it happened even before the last update, is there a way to disable only skype notification.
You're not alone, I have it too. Could it be Honeycomb specific? Because I don't have it on my phone or ViewSonic.
I'm so glad its not just me. I will check to see if my phone has the same issue with Skype, but I do think its Honeycomb specific...

Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me.
I just upgrade to the offical Verizon ROM to WM 6.5 and I'm having some issues.
The main problem: I take my phone off of sleep mode or stop it from entering just prior to and my TF3D home screen shows but the banner reads "messaging" instead of "start" like I'm in my messages and the virtual keyboard will pop up. This also happens 85% of the time when I recieve a new txt/mms not with emails however. This is a new development I;ve had the ROM since launch.
Before I call VZW and get stuck on hold for 50 years I figured i would see if anyone else has this issue or knows of a .cab that might fix the issue. I have had luck with .cabs in the past for other issues.
Side note, has anyone successfully stopped the clock from flipping an hour and two minutes? I have checked the fourms downloaded all the .cabs and nothing seems to actually stop it.
I am in the exact same boat as you my friend. I am also having diffuculty locating a background for all tabs .cab and a working rotator for all screens that functions in the VZ TP2 6.5update

I have a very similar problem to you my friend. When I check my messages (txt or emails) and close out of them the Messaging will pop up like yours, although my keyboard doesn't show up. Sometimes it takes 5 seconds sometimes 30 seconds.
My main issue is it will turn my screen back on when this happens. So if I read a txt and close it and I don't wait for it to pop up, my screen will stay on. It's killing my battery life and some funky things happen when its in my pocket turned on..
Any idea if anyone has come across a solution to this?
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.

So I was THRILLED when my phone told me that I could download and install ANdroid 4.1.
Sadly, I experienced very visible and annoying bugs. I chatted with HTC support the other day and go a reply today. Guess what? They want me to send it to service. HA. HA.
Just want to confirm and see if any of you have ANY of the following bugs:
If I'm in a call and notification area get something new, the graphics are bugging (it gets a diagonal line through the notification line).
If you, for example, listen to music and have just sent an sms / tweet and changing track on the lock screen, the latest notification will flash in the notification line.
Lock screen disappeared (Related to TrueCaller. I have contacted them, but the bug was not in ICS)
Graphics not fluent at all (feels like Project Butter is missing) / Slightly slower than ICS
When you have an Exchange mailbox and set sync on "Push" and receive new mail, the phone notifies several times, sometimes twice and sometimes "reminds" every 5 minutes
If you get 2 sms immediately after each other from the same person, only the first sms will show. If you wait a while , the second pops up.
Messaging app crashes sometimes, just when you sent a message.
Of course I have done a factory reset after the update, but these bugs persist.

Craps!
Thank you!
Mods, please close this thread
does anyone else have the issue where the viber popups at the top of the screen dont appear? I dont know whether there are other apps that exhibit the same behavior but for me it's only viber which rings and I only get the icon at the top. there was an update yesterday and they were working for about an hour but then stopped on their own all of a sudden.
is this a known issue, do we have a workaround or what? its bugging me
All,
First time poster, frequent visitor of XDA Forums. I've come across an odd issue that I don't know how to solve and I'm hoping some of you smarter than me folks can get me squared away.
I have a Galaxy S8+ from AT&T running Android 7.0 and Samsung Experience 8.1.
Problem:
I've recently noticed a delay or completely non-updating interface on my phone. It updates on occasion, but I can't determine what triggers an update. For example, I will pick up my phone from the desk and when I press the power button it shows the accurate time. When I unlock the device, the sense flip clock I use on the main home screen shows an earlier time (could be 30 minutes... could be a few hours). I don't believe it's just the Sense app because I noticed this issue where I checked a facebook messenger app that came and and when I closed the app, it still showed I had 1 notification. I went back in thinking I had another new message, but I didn't. So it was still hanging on to the notification. It happened a couple times with a text message as well. Most importantly, my calendar doesn't alert me prior to an appointment either, even though it's showing in my calendar and an alert is active. If I save an event, and exit, I can normally see the event appear on the on widget immediately as well... but that hasn't been happening. I have to press the widget to open it and confirm it is there (which it always is). Eventually it refreshes and shows up. But that delay is likely the reason why I'm not getting my alerts.
All of this did seem to happen after a recent update Samsung/AT&T pushed out but I don't know for sure. I tried clearing the cache from the boot menu but it doesn't seem there is wide success with that.
And perhaps I'm just not a good enough user, but everything isn't all backed up in the cloud so doing the factory reset to me is always a fairly large task as I have many things to manually transfer out and then back in. Not sure if there are great tools that help with this on a stock phone.
Samsung smart switch works wonders, the only thing that doesn't restore is passwords, you have to have and external SD card for it to work, or plug it in to a computer

Go to settings and check if your time is setup to adjust automatically.
On Edge of Note

That is not the issue. As mentioned, it's not just the clock it's multiple interfaces.

High level overview of issues...
I have the Ring Doorbell app. I get notifications after "live". Could be 5 minutes, could be 1 hour... or possibly not at all. I have the app setup on my wife's iPhone and she gets them immediately. If I restart the phone, I will get notified right away (it's like it runs the app again and then I get the notification). Keep in mind, this is AFTER i disabled the battery optimization feature for the Ring app.
I also notice it occasionally with texting. I won't have any text notification in the notification panel, nor will my messaging icon have a little red circle indicating a message is there. But if I open the app, a specification conversation will have a red circle indicating a new text is unread.
All of this is leading me to believe the Samsung UI itself is not updating and therefore notifications that actually have arrived (from whatever app), are not displaying because of the UI and not because of their own delay.
Because of this concern I have turned off battery optimization for "System UI", "Themes", and "TouchWiz Home". I have not seen any change however.
[Solved]
I was able to determine by various other threads around the web (thought for sure I'd find it here, but I didn't) that the culprit might be the Google app. Supposedly it was fixed in some prior release, but it's not on my Galaxy S8+ w/ AT&T.
Once I disabled the Google app all the odd issues with notifications and clock interfaces and app icons not updating went away. The downside to disabling it is that I lose the Google Assistant functionality which stinks but otherwise there is no impact to using the phone. I re-enabled it at a later date and it worked fine for a few days and then started acting up again. Once I disabled it, the problems all disappeared. Clearly Google app is to blame.
