Hey guys,
Tried searching for this, but nada.
Anyone else having issues with your phone being idle but powered on ans upon bringing on the screen you receive a google talk notification that's old? Is been happening to me lately, and I can't tell if it's the phone or the fact that my desktop version is intercepting the message and preventing the phone notification.
I'm tempted to no longer use the desktop built in gmail version, but I wanted to see if others are having similar issues.
Thanks in advance!

Can't guarantee this, but I have a feeling it may have something to do with the phone letting the Google talk process close when the phone is in it's sleep state. I've noted that I keep having to re sign in to gtalk when I wake up my phone and suspect that it is an issue with the horrible multitasking that HTC has bundled into sense 4.0.
I assume both of you also get delayed notifications with push email using the native Gmail app? I also frequently get logged out of Google Talk when I put the phone in standby mode. When I am logged out of Google Talk, my push emails are delayed in the Gmail app until I log back into Google Talk.
So it seems to be some problem of getting disconnected from google services when the phone is asleep.
I don't think i've been getting delayed notifications, but I do notice that my chat gets out of order a lot. My replies will be above whoever is talking to me no matter what order each was sent in.
Almost every phone that comes out gets a google talk going eventually so there is lots out there, but each phone has it's own issues. Here is a thread that was pretty good from the Galaxy Nexus Forums.

With the HOX I have had issues with Google Talk not working great when the wifi is dropping, so this might be part of the wifi issue that pretty much everybody is having with this phone. The wifi stays connected but seems to go to sleep so your phone only gets the notification once it is woken up. Try turning off the wifi and seeing if you have the same problem.
As for Google Talk, there are some oddities that go along with using it on multiple devices. Here is some stuff I figured out playing around with it on multiple devices and computers at the same time. (I posted this in the GN forums as well)
"Google Talk is my main means of communication it seems so I have played with it a lot. Here are my observations.
1. To keep it "up" all the time in the Talk App hit the menu button (three dots now) >settings>uncheck automatic away status. Also make sure your phone has automatic syncing turned on for your gmail account: Setting>Accounts and Sync>ON (for your chat gmail address anyway). Additionally make sure your mobile data is turned on if you are ever off wifi: Settings>More>Mobile networks>Data Enabled (checked to turn on)
2. You can have up to 6 devices linked to your talk account at once, after that they just stop working.
3. When you receive a IM it appears on both your phone and your gmail account. If you start typing on the gmail account (or G+) it hijacks the whole session and you phone no longer gets the notifications, but the conversation still shows up on the chat window on the phone. When you are done with the IM session make sure you close the window on gmail (or G+) and send one last message from your phone or tablet to take the session back over, if you don't your phone will not receive future chat notifications. You can also just log out of your gmail/G+ session and it will automatically return everything to your phone/tablet but who ever does that?
4. To figure out how it all worked and tinker with it I use both of my gmail accounts and chat back and forth with them. You can do it from separate browsers or just open an incognito window in Chrome and log into your other gmail account. I would recommend this so you can see all of this stuff in practice.
Good Luck, hope this helps"
Gtalk and gmail delays
Hi all,
I have performed tests and discovered that if i disable WiFI and only use the phone's data connection "4g" or LTE that i receive all my messages with no problem even when the phone locks/goes to sleep. However if i leave wifi turned on, within 5-10 seconds i stop receiving them and will only receive them when i wake up the phone/unlock or wait for the delay which can be anywhere from 5-15 mins.
Trying to figure out a way to by pass this, but can't seem to figure it out. I don't want to keep my wifi off when i'm at work or home so i don't use data as i have 3GB and not unlimited so it kind of sucks that i have to keep wifi off for now. Any thoughts/ideas would be great, thanks.

This. I have issues with timely/accurate reception of notifications from GV. I only use my account for voicemail, but typically I only get voicemail notifications if I open the actual application (which I do because my gmail account receives an email notification now, as well). Sometimes I notice GV as a running task, but often times not, so to me it seems that (possibly) multitasking or some other form of process management in ICS or Sense is not prioritizing the GV process and it's associated actions. I dont mind the aggressive multitasking, but it would be nice to have the option of protecting some processes, such as GV.
I removed google + app completely with titanium backup, and the problem is gone., I get the messages immediately
Push Notifications Fixer can fix it

I'm running the latest Viper, I've never had an issue receiving or sending msgs. The only time the phone won't alert me is if I am actively typing in the browser window.
I'll note though that I never have wifi on, it's always on the mobile network.

I tried everything not even this works for me
Same problem, screen off - phone disconnects, unlock the phone - messages start to appear
Same problem on 2 different phones and 2 different numbers
I don't use G Talk, but I see the same thing with G Voice. I almost never get voicemail notifications on my HOX (they show up instantly on my old GNex). I blame Sense (for this and other things).
Same problem, but with Nexus 4 when I am on WiFi. With data connection, it works without problems.
I've been having data connection issues for as long as I've had an activated Straight Talk SIM in the phone (about a week). Here's what's happening:
When I open an app or program that needs an active data connection, more often than not, data takes a while to start flowing. Often more than long enough for my screen to time-out before it connects. I have moderate signal strength, generally 2-3 bars, and the little H+ icon is there, so I'm assuming it's not a signal issue. Once data actually kicks in, it generally works fine for whatever time I'm actively using it. However, once i stop using it, and let the phone go back to sleep, it's a crap-shoot as to whether or not it'll connect quickly next time I need it to.
It doesn't seem to be a ROM-specific occurance, although it did seem a bit less likely to time-out when running stock Froyo. I've tried several different costom ROMs, a handful of different modems, and it never seems to make any real difference. I've also tried slight variations in the APN settings, to no apparent avail. Toggling airplane mode and/or rebooting don't seem to have any definite effect either. Sometimes data will connect quickly after a toggle/reboot, sometimes it makes no difference. It's like the phone just doesn't seem to 'know' that it's supposed to be transferring data.
Im having the same issue.My first month with ST was great really fast of course I went well over 2 GB so it slowed me down towards the end of the first month.Well I paid my next bill and still slow.They seem to be clueless when I call them oh your using an Infuse well I ordered the correct sim from there site they still clueless.Ive have tried about every rom out there just to see whats up and still the same issue.Hopefully someone here has the fix.
Im having the same issue nothin seems to work.

Turns out we're not the only ones..not by a long shot:
http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...t-Talk-has-upped-the-ante-on-throttling-users!
Since it's a frustrating exercise in futility to actually call and hope to get one of their script-reading robots that can speak some semblance of comprehensible English, I emailed them on their FB support page and started a claim ticket. Got the usual runaround about removing the SIM card and battery, do a hard reset, clear cache and cookies from browser, blah blah blah. It's kinda funny how I linked the CS rep to that thread on HoFo, and she's still not acknowledging that there's any type of widespread issue. SSDD with Straight Talk.
I just registered over on HoFo and was looking around their Straight Talk forum. I think someone may have found the answer to some of our data connectivity woes. It may be as simple as having to make a DNS change to compensate for an overly-crowded network. I downloaded DNS Changer from the Play Store, and changed my DNS settings to OpenDNS. It's a bit too early to tell if it's just random coincidence, or a real fix, but I AM getting much better connectivity so far. For some reason, it seems to work a little better if you actually use the ST proxy in your APN settings.

This issue was driving me nuts, it started as soon as I switched to Jelly Bean, I was convinced JB was interfering with my data, installed DNS changer and immediately my internet issues went away. Thanks for the tip! :highfive:
Has anyone else been having weird notification problems the last few days? Internet problems? Please read this whole post, especially the bottom paragraph.
So far I've been getting double and triple notifications.
Sometimes nothing at all.
I've noticed on a few messaging apps that I would receive a notification showing the person's I'm talking to photo and name but the text would be the text I just sent them.
Also my eBay notifications just turned themselves off without warning and I actually lost 2 items I bid on because of it.
I have my gmail set to vibrate on notification and it hasn't when I get an email.
Sometimes I delete an email and then login to gmail on the PC and it's not deleted out of my inbox.
It doesn't matter if I'm on wifi or 3g, it still happens.
Besides the phone I've noticed google.com in general being very slow and sometimes just not loading at all on my PC and a few others are having the same slow internet issues.
I have a N-7100 on AT&T running stock 4.1.1 rooted with the latest cwm and my FrankenBeats audio installed. I haven't done any modifications or installed any new apps to cause an issue, yet I'm having these problems.
This may be the conspiracy theorist inside me talking but I'm starting to think there is a massive cyber attack going on in the USA. Four of my family members (that I know of so far) have been experiencing slow internet (sometimes to the point of a time out) and their router logs show numerous back to back DoS attacks. I've done traces to the IP addresses that show in the logs and some are coming from GoDaddy servers, Cox ISP, Comcast, and all around the country? The four people are all located in different parts of the country. All different ISPs. But I find it hard to believe that Google's servers are being slow. In the history of the internet I don't think it ever has been acting the way it has in the last 2-3 weeks, and it's only getting worse. Not to mention the recently published articles of Facebook, Microsoft, and Apple being hacked or infected with viruses. What do you guys think?
My apologies if this has been posted elsewhere. I found a loosely related thread on google's support forum, but nothing here.
Bought a Nexus 5 and I've been trying out Straight Talk ATT and I've been noticing these problems, most likely all related:
I've been getting notification delays for push data services. Namely, my work email(exchange) and gmail. Sometimes the notification won't even come through. I'm up to a half hour on my last one, still waiting on it. SMS works just fine. Haven't tested MMS, particularly because I don't get many of those. The data connections does work though. I can manually load pages just fine, if a bit slow at first like the ping is astronomical. Almost makes me think it's establishing a connection each time.
When I check the color of the wifi or cellular connection icon, it's frequently orange. Most of the time it will quickly resolve itself to white in the few seconds it takes to check it. From what I understand, orange means it's having trouble talking to google services? This shouldn't affect exchange notifications.
I'm getting poorer connections quality than I expected. I live in Ithaca and while my home has poor Verizon connection(so I expected similar from ATT), I've barely found any place at work or the mall that can hold ANY LTE signal or a decent HSPA signal. HSPA speed tests give me under 0.5mbps up/down, while the only LTE test I've been able to run gave me 2.5/1 up/down.
The aforementioned thread on google's forums mentioned flashing 4.4.0's radio apk, has anyone else tried this?
Which APN setting affects the data part of the connection? Is it just the APN type?
Bump.
I'm starting to wonder if my problem is exacerbated by my current postpaid VZW phone getting data notifications much quicker. I'm suspecting that Straight Talk has a lower priority on ATT towers, thus why my data notifications take up to minutes sometimes. Anyone know of a way to confirm this?
Always On Push Notifications android app
I am not sure if anyone is following this thread anymore, but I switched to StraightTalk about a month ago, and have been experiencing huge delays in my google voice notifications as well (among other things). I've tried several different apps to get this resolved, but none have worked for me... so I decided to write my own. It was published to the google play store this morning (Android 2.3+ currently). If anyone sees this, please try it out, and let me know what you think.
It's called "Always On Push Notifications". I can't post a link right now because this is my first post on these forums though.

What fixed it? I find I have to archive my old messages/call logs for it to not lag.

I am not sure what you mean, but I was noticing similar issues with my Nexus 5 on ST using ATT towers. While on LTE at the office, my connection was always great, but if I wasn't actively using my phone, my cell signal would go orange, and all of my notifications were significantly delayed. Furthermore, even trying to browse the internet with an orange signal would just idle and sometimes would not complete at all.
The app I wrote attempts to prevent this by simply keeping your connection active. It does this by manually sending out a heartbeat using the Google Cloud Messaging service approximately every interval that you define in the app. This helps keep your notifications flowing. On top of that, the application will also make a very small data request (~60 bytes), to help prevent the APN from timing out your connection.
I have found that those two things are enough to fix the issues I have had with StraightTalk.

That answered it. It must be a StraightTalk thing. Weird.
New observation on this problem:
- GMail notifications not arriving
- When I check I see that the WiFi icon is orange
- Phone is still connected to the internet, I can browse, but icon remains orange and no notifications arrive
- Only when I disconnect/reconnect Wifi does it recover
I also discovered that the WiFi icon actually turns orange at the moment that Google tries to send me a notification. It can be fine for hours before that.
It turned out that this only happens when I have the cellular radio turned off, by turning on Airplane Mode and then turning WiFi back on. With the cellular radio on and connected to the network, even with Mobile Data turned off, everything is fine with WiFi.
I think it's an authentication bug with Google Services. Somewhere in the message notification sequence it tries to either authenticate your phone or perhaps locate it via the cellular network, and if it fails then the connection to Google Services is flagged as faulty. The failure could be caused by having the cellular radio off, or perhaps by being in a bad reception area.
Hello. I'm a newb. I don't root, or jailbreak, or use roms. I just want to make and take calls like a normal person, and I dunno what's wrong. I posted the following on reddit. This site seems more sophisticated.
Having major issues with my 2 year old Edge (1st gen, I believe, XT2063-2). It happened very abruptly and out-of-the-blue two weeks ago. I hesitate to take it to a store, because I have a feeling they will very quickly rule out any manner of repair in order to sell me a replacement (which I know is quite possibly necessary, but I still want an informed opinion on what happened anyway).
Wi-Fi seems to be fine, but whatever you call the extraterrestrial antenna, it seems to only work sporadically, and it needs to be cajoled into working regularly. First it was texts that wouldn't go through. Then a restart seemed to fix that, or at least, give me a short window. The next day, I had zero bars almost everywhere, and when I would try to make a call anywhere, it said "Call Failed" or "cell network not available for voice calls". Obviously, like this I cannot receive calls or texts (or get 5G data) reliably - only when I prepare for a few minutes ahead of time, doing things which I'll get into.
I have tried removing/reinserting the sim card to mixed effects, but always short lived. Even if no other apps are open after restart, the phone antenna always seems to doze off after an hour or two. I can get it back by making calls from AND TO my cell phone (using google voice), and sending texts to and from in a similar way. My Wi-Fi calling feature never seemed to get past "enabling...." even when I first set it up, so I'm pretty sure I'm not using it.
Strangely, there are times when I have FULL bars (all in the same location, my house which usually has decent service - T-Mobile if it's relevant, but I am in the greater NYC metro area, so I'm sure it's all the same towers... there is one half a mile away), and it still can't connect to network (even in settings, it'll say disconnected). So for the last two weeks, when I need to use two factor authentication for work, I have discovered a little ritual that seems to work (usually/eventually), so I can get the texts and calls in to my phone. I would think that would help diagnose the problem (There are plenty of times when reinserting the sim card and/or restarting the phone don't help at all). But even using the phone like this, I don't ever think I'll be able to use google maps (or get calls) reliably away from home, and that is a big problem.
Anyone have any thoughts as to how this happened, what exactly is on the fritz, and what I should do?
Many Thanks.

The only response asked me to use *#*#4636#*#* to try it with and without 5G. Well, as soon as I hit the final asterisk , the dialer disappears and nothing happens. This happens on all codes that end in asterisks. I found other codes on sites, and some of the ones that end in # seem to trigger some code search (provided I click CALL). It tells me it's searching for a USSD code, then invalid MMI code. Anyway, I just thought lack of access to codes like *#*#4636#*#* might help hone in to the problem. I'd hate to factory reset, but I'm out of ideas. I'm a sad panda.
Thanks!
