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 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.

This issues just happened a few days ago, and I honestly have no idea why. Here are the issues.
> Unable to do drop down notifications
What I mean by this is I can't do the traditional swipe down from status bar to reveal notifications. However, this does work when my phone is in landscape mode.
> 1-2 minute delay when turning on phone
What I mean by this is when I turn on my phone, I can't interact with it (buttons don't light up and tapping the screen doesn't do anything), until about a minute or two later, which is a slightly irritating issue if I need to quickly reply to a message or call.
I know it's not due to my screen, as every bit is responsive but i'm having this wierd issues. Any help is appreciated greatly. :good:

Hi,
When I went to 4.1.1, I noticed that my notifications for text messages were not always playing completely. Sometimes they weren't even playing at all, and the only way that I knew that I had a text was because my phone was set up to vibrate. I was on rooted stock 4.1.1. My wife's phone had the same problem, and she was unrooted 4.1.1. Tonight, I updated to 4.1.2 stock rooted. I was hoping that the notification sounds would be ok, but they are still not completely playing. I have not updated my wife's phone to 4.1.2 yet. But seeing as she's having the same problem on 4.1.1., I expect it to continue for her as well.
Does anyone know of anything that can be done to fix this?
Thanks
This is a bug caused by old.messages being deleated while the notification sound is played. Uncheck the Delete old messages box or raise your message limit or manually delete old messages. Crappy work around but it works.

I'm having this issue where the phone doesn't react properly to an incoming call (stock ROM, unrooted).
The phone rings, but the dialer screen with the controls to answer the call does not come up. It doesn't help if the screen is already on, I'm just staring at my home screen while it rings. There's also no call icon in the notification bar. When the caller hangs up, I immediately get a missed call notification.
Rebooting the phone solves the problem for a while, but then it comes back. I tried reverting to the stock dialer with no luck. I'm thinking of reverting to the stock launcher as well, but I'm not sure it has anything to do with it. Other than that I'm running out of ideas.
I've searched the web and it looks like people are experiencing all sorts of variations on this problem, but not the exact same thing, and in any case I haven't seen anyone post a tested workaround.
Has anyone encountered something like this and maybe knows of a solution?
Did you try clearing the data of the phone app in settings > apps?
If not, try that

When I receive a call, sometimes when I slide to answer the call it won't register the slide gesture. Is anyone else experiencing this or know how to fix this? Thanks.
Are you on Stock Lollipop? Custom Rom?
I'm on stock lollipop

Well, being on stock limits what you can do.
I would suggest a factory reset within the settings menu if you want to try and fix it. I haven't been on stock in awhile.
I've been running into, what I will call, hiccups with Lollipop as well. It will randomly freeze for 10 seconds and not register anything, which may be what you are seeing. If you keep trying the gesture, does it eventually work?

Eventually it will, but most of the time the call screen goes away before it registers. I tried a factory reset and that seems to be helping. Helped a lot with my memory problem.
dont get me started....

I have been having all sorts of issues with my S5 stock. The phone answers the calls on its own. When I call someone back, the phone is still ringing. I can call someone one minute and the next I lose signal and to reboot to fix it. I still love my S5, but right now I am torn between staying on stock and going back to the PAC ROM.
