I know I'm not the only person to have problems with push notications on sense base ROMs (including stock). I've missed many Whatapps messages, Facebook notification, and more all because the phone won't push notications when the screen has been off for more than 5 minutes or so. I've noticed on CM10 that I don't have this problem. On stock ROM and CleanROM, I've noticed that it does have this issue. Is there any type of fix for it besides using a Non-Sense ROM?
Use jellybean sense.

I really don't want to use a jellybean sense ROM until AT&T releases their. They all seem to have issues.
No issues on ics viperxl I get my notifications instantly no matter how long the screen has been off for

I did some testing on my roommate's phone with Whatsapp. It seems when you're connected to wifi, there is a delay on receiving notifications when the screen is off. I've looked into this and saw that you needed to open some ports on your router for push notification to work. I opened those ports and still no luck.
When I'm using my carrier's data, I get notifcations instantly even when my screen is off. I really don't know what's going on. I've switched over to Viper's JB ROM and still getting that same issue. It's definitely Sense related.
I've noticed that if you restore an app with tibu, the push notifications stop working. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app from the market corrected this
I did some more testing and found a solution. I've noticed that when I turn my screen off and access my router settings, the HTC One X disappeared under attached devices. As soon as I turned the screen back on, I refreshed the page and saw that the phone was back in the list of attached devices to the router.
I went to Settings > WiFi > Advanced > and enabled "Best WiFi Performance". True..this may drain your battery faster, but I'm getting notifications instantly now with wifi on and my screen turned off.

Has anybody tried out ARHD and decided it wasn't for them because something wasn't functioning properly (camera, camcorder, maps, MMS, GPS, etc.)? This is my experience every time I try out a new ROM, and I have returned to stock again and again.
Getting curious about ARHD (particularly because it's so popular), but thought I'd save myself the trouble if other people have had this experience.
Is it as reliable for a daily driver as stock?
It's based on stock, so yes. I found no errors so far.

The only bugs I've found are the ones that are present in the Stock release i.e. the Browser not opening links properly and the Exchange sync time not staying put.
Hardware wise everything worked, I had a the issue with WiFi not staying off but that occurs with Stock as well and there's a fix for it now that seems to sort it.
Nothing so bad that i have gone back to stock
I have a few problems with the messaging app:
If someone sends me a phonenumber in a text, and i click it, it opens the phone app and should automatically enter the number so i can call it, but the it just opens the app without the number.
The messaging app sometimes opens very slowly (10-15 seconds after the icon is clicked)
Even with the right settings from my phone network provider, MMS is unable to download pictures.
Other problems:
Sometimes the phone is slow after it comes out of sleep (lockscreen in nonresponsive or lagging)
Very very slow boot of camera app (Not really sure if this was a problem in the stock version..
All of this is something i have chosen to live with because i love the rest of the ROM.. Im just hoping this is fixed in later releases

Yikes! Yeah I'm not interested if MMS doesn't work. Have other people experienced this?
I'm giving ARHD an extensive try now that we are running ICS. can't say I have come across that issue with the MMS. In fact, the only issue I have had is with WiFi not staying off. At first I thought it was an issue with ARHD, but learned that we have the same problem stock. I'm loving the ROM. I would love to ditch Sense though!

MMS worked fine for me. Maybe SecherFault should check their APN's (if they haven't already) as that's usually the cause of MMS not working.
Iv'e been using ARHD for a while. Pretty solid and fast. One thing I've realized is that my call volume. Whenever I'm in a call, the volume sounds crackly, like the gain is too high. I turn the volume almost all the way down. It's not my phone because I've used other ROMs and haven't had the same problem. Anyone know a fix?
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.

Push notifications while phone is sleeping - are these commonly disabled by default in custom roms as a battery saving feature? I've tried Embryo 5.1, Majick-Wizz R3, and CM10 Alpha (all using the recommended kernels/radios, flashing using CWM Touch 6.0.1.2 v12.5), all seem to have the same "issue" where I don't get push notifications from things like Gmail or third party apps while the phone is sleeping. As soon as I wake the phone, the notifications come in.
I couldn't really find anyone on this forum or anywhere else on this issue, except for cases with the HTC Evo, which leads me to believe it's common knowledge whatever is causing this or how to fix it, but I'm new here and this is escaping me completely...
Thanks for any help!
I get push notifications for my email account all the time, and when I've tested other apps (Facebook, Twitter, news apps, etc.) they've always worked there as well. This is on several ROMs, including MW (all three releases), SkyICS 4.2F6 and CM9.
Are you restoring system data from Tibu, by chance? That's all I can think of from a practical perspective that would carry the problem across ROMs, but I'm not a dev and can't begin to guess at any potentially more difficult solutions.
I actually don't restore any data from anywhere except Google auto settings backup. These are all fresh installs.
Edit to add: the notifications seem to work until the screen has been off for 10+ minutes. Also they worked on stock rom.
Edit2: Looks like it may have to do with the WiFi. Made sure the WiFi policy was set to remain connected while sleeping, but that setting doesn't appear to be working. Disabled WiFi and let phone sleep for 10 mins and sent emails to test, and notifications worked.
Edit3: Tried disabling/enabling the WiFi sleep settings in various ways to see if a setting was stuck somewhere, to no avail... Flashed InstigatorX 6.3.4, no dice. It's definitely the WiFi going to sleep though. Confirmed that if WiFi is turned off, all works well. Also, upon waking the phone, it takes a few seconds for network connectivity to start working again (if WiFi is enabled). How do I get this setting to stick?!
Update: Ok, so I just reflashed with all of the Google backup stuff turned off, and tested, still not working.
I'm really running out of ideas here. It's not that I'm unwilling to try something, I just literally can't think of anything else to try...
EDIT: So I just downloaded an app for which the purpose is to keep WiFi awake at all times, and it happens that the app also checks your WiFi sleep policy setting for you. In my case, it told me that i had WiFi set to disable when the phone is sleeping (despite that not being the case). I suppose this fully confirms that the issue is the setting isn't sticking. I let the app change that setting for me then uninstalled the app, going to test throughout the day tomorrow. In the meantime, is there a relatively harmless way to manually check whatever configuration file holds this policy setting?
So I'm on Liquid pre-RC based on Cm10 now and it seems to be working intermittently. The only way I can get it working consistently so far is installing an app built for this purpose. Am I really the only one experiencing this issue with custom roms?

I don't really have an answer for you, but I can at least tell you that you're not crazy. I have definitely noticed this happen where I will wake up my phone and instantly be hit with email notifications. However, it didn't happen every time like that. And to be honest, I think my push Gmail worked fine; it was my pull email that would do it to me. That was on CM9. I don't think I've noticed it happen since I've been on MW.

Hi all,
The home screen of my HTC One X with Jelly Bean 4.1.2 is not showing up at all.
I am able to go to settings, answer and make call, use applications from the Notification bar like WhatsApp, Email, etc.
However, when I press the Home button, I see a blank screen.
I changed my Wall paper from the Settings, and the Lock Screen shows the changed wall paper.
But when I unlock, all I see is a blank screen,
han anyone seen such an issue ?
Any help ?
From what i read you are on a custom rom right ? So try going to stock or another custom to see if the problem persists.
Sent from my HTC One X
Nope.
I'm on STOCK ROM. Non-rooted.
But to give a little history : I was writing some simple Android Apps, no System services or anything. And I particularly spent some time in fixing a crash for an Application which is using Fragments. Got a LOT of crashes. But eventually, I fixed the issues and the App was working fine. I am seening this Home Screen disappearance issue after that only.
I have uninstalled that App now, but the problem persists
Since you are on stock, you can try a factory reset. If that doesn't work download the ruu for your phone and run it. Back everything up though, before running the ruu.

So Ive been having issues with my Htc One X and I decided to send it back to Htc (through warranty) to fix the issues... The following are issues I have encountered with the phone on Jb..
Phone randomly reboots after selecting an app
Background Wallpaper would just disappear and turn black
I would select to use an app such as Instagram for example, and it would pop up for a second but then go back to home screen each time
Text messages would come hours late but say received at an earlier time
Keyboard would disappear when texting
Signal would drop to no signal because the phone is "preparing sim" (like when it first comes on) (which is randomly)
Htc Sense would randomly close along with process com.android..etc. (see picture for screenshot, notice task bar has also diapered. )
After the pop up notifications of Htc sense or whatever crashing or stopping I would have to press ok like 50 times to get it to stop popping up..or try to hurry up and restart before it comes back up
Can anyone explain what's going on??????? I have sent my phone to Htc multiple (at least more than 5) times to be fixed and before this time it was a refurbished device because they messed up my usb port on my original phone. I do not run a lot of apps and even with some apps uninstalled it still continues to act like this and I would usually have to restart.. I wish I could unlock boot loader and flash new ROM to fix it.. but they always send it with Jelly Bean installed from stock.
That's quite a collection of issues! Since the phone is bone stock, I'd just try a factory reset, then installing a minimum of apps, and see if the issues still occur. Or run the phone in Safe Mode, and see how it behaves. If its still acting up, send it back again.

Could not honestly tell you, maybe it is some setting you have on the phone. Or may be it is a genuine hardware issue that needs to be repair or replaced. If you sent it 5 times, you should be able to get a brand new phone. I know with AT&T, after the third time, they will replace the phone with a comparable phone
