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.

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.

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.
I received OTA yesterday and so far found one bug. There is a black screen comes up randomly. Top and bottom bars are visible but I can't do anything to get out of it. The only thing that works is restart. I can't pinpoint the app that might be causing it. It happened while updating apps or using Firefox. Anybody else having this issue?

Did you wipe your cash after updating? I had experienced several bags after the OTA update too, but i cleaned cash from the recovery mode and now everything works just fine.
Did wiped cache from recovery mode yesterday and it was OK. Today the black screen issue is back. It's quite annoying having to restart.

Hi there, I am currently having the same bug on my Nexus 4 device.
It appears the same way, with the Softbuttons visibile and the top bar still able to be pulled down. Plus that there is no option if I restart to get my SIM card recognized. Pretty annoying when you have an encrypted nexus device and have to wait 2 minutes to restart with a 40% chance of NOT getting the black screen again.
My assumption is that it has something to do with the kernel. Any suggestions/confirmations?
Best regards

Same problem here... black screen with only softbuttons visible and notification bar working.
I think the problem occurs when an application is in full screen mode (no softbuttons visible) and you do a little swipe to make the softbuttons appear... It must be something with the way the softbuttons overlap the screen, I think.
Any help?
I am also seeing this problem on my Nexus 5 which I flashed the factory image with full wipe. I have had it when exiting apps and also when an app is open it can just happen. If i swipe up from the bottom sometime I get a flash of the screen during the animation so it is as if a layer is over the screen. I hope this is fixed as it is random, this morning it happened and after a reboot i logged in and it happened before I opened an app, reboot, then happened again a few mins later, but after a 3rd reboot has been ok???
For everyone that is experiencing this problem... do you have Tasker installed?
I disabled tasker and since then I don't have this problem... so far.
Still happening once in awhile and I do have Tasker.

It happens to me. My current theory is that, in my case, it may have to do with a profile manager I use which turns the lock screen pattern lock on and off depending on where I am.

I also have tasker, don't want to disable it as I find it too useful, can you keep us all informed if it cures the issue.

I also find tasker very useful.. but I think it was causing the problem. No more black screens since then.
To try to narrow it down even further... do you have a profile to enable/disable the lockscreen in certain situations?

I do use tasker to disable the lock screen, I wish that the smart lock would completley disable the lock screen, and not just the secure section. I will take all the lock screen options out of my tasks and reboot, will test for a few days.
I tested over the weekend and had no black screens with all tasker/secure settings lock screen disables turned off, I left all other actions on , so I think you are correct. actualy got on OK using the smart unlock, although when in my house sometimes GPS is lost so it will relock, but not a real issue. Thanks for the heads up
So, am I the only one that my background apps dont really run? I have the batter saving turned off. But lyve and good app specifically just stop working in the background. Seeing as how the good app is work email, it REALLY sucks.
Also, whenever I get any kind of gmail, text, etc, the screen comes on and weird **** happens. My boss called and it said it was my brother. I guess some contact exchanging happened in my pocket or something. So odd. I have since turned on the keep screen off in dark places option, and it seems to have helped.
I seen threads about thoughts of the update but I figured this thread to be more specific on the issues your experience on nought beta: bugs, freezes, force closes, lag, etc.
Posting issues or suggestions here will be useless to the Samsung team. To give feedback on the beta, just open the "Samsung Members" app and provide your feedback there. This way the team can actually address it.
Aside from standby battery drain, it's been pretty smooth.
Oh, the keypad sometimes can't keep up with my typing lol. That's about it.

I am still getting the sound cutting out bug that was seen in Marshmallow.... ie; sound on YouTube videos, etc will play for a few seconds and then cut out to silence. Have tried all the "solutions" offered but it still happens.
*Very frustrating.
I have the battery drain problem too.

I've reported this to Samsung member but in camera when you look at the last pic you took it shows last image of what you downloaded or received also. If you downloaded something after to took your last picture that is. Only pictures taken with the camera should be in here. Note 7 had this same issue.

That is strange. Battery life on mine has been the best i have ever gotten with this phone.
Probably poor battery other than that running great

Did you factory reset after the install?
Encrypted SD keeps popping up.
The "Clear All" button in recents is in a bad location (top right, better at bottom right)
Noticed that double tap AOD screen can wake the screen but only if you Dtap the notification or music playing. Suggested that we get full double tap anywhere to wake option.
Default e-mail does not have marked as read or delete options in notification bar.
Battery drain faster.
It may just be me but My Knox seems broken. I changed password and everything but on last attempt before lockdown but does not work.
All reported to Sammy except my Knox which may be a user error
I've had GREAT battery life, no drain.
Only issue is when I download an APK through Chrome and tap the notification to install then Package Disabler crashes. If I install it with Root Explorer it installs fine.
Android System battery hogging. Whopping 40%!
I average 8% an hour and have an average 5hr screen on time per charge cycle I think a lot of people some have some rogue apps
Battery life is much better! The main issue I'm having is no sound or vibration notification when I get a text. Sometimes I loose my data connection.
Looks like google voice doesn't work with the update. How do I report this ? I can't get any outgoing call to work through google voice

Go into the settings with for it to turn off, then manually turn it on. Also I recommend leaving it on as well as Bluetooth. There is a known bug with both of those and leaving them both on fixes the battery drain issue you will have if you try to turn them off and they keep automatically turning on/off on their own.

my battery drain issue seems to be gone.
I will however turn on the bluetooth to see if it helps/.
Haven't seen this posted, hopefully i didn't miss the post though.
When playing a game using the "Game Launcher", I always played with "No Alerts during Game" selected. But since I upgraded to the Nougat Beta, Facebook Messenger somehow still sends me messages even though it should be blocked.
Anyone else with this issue?
