OK so my text notifications have just stopped working. I have everything checked in settings to on. And have used it before, it just all of a sudden stopped popping up and now the stock android text preview shows. Is anyone else having this issue? I cant seem to solve it, I even hard reset the phone and it was working for a bit then stopped again. Any help is greatly appreciated, I miss my quick reply
Yeah this has happened to me too, sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. It sucks cuz I really like the little text notification thing l: yeaaa..
One of the only problems I have with my texting app is that when I receive an mms text pic it never loads.. also when I click someone's name, it might take me to anothers conversation

Ive tried everything to fix this issue. But i get it to work for about 10min then it just deactivates all over again. Im getting really frustrated with this crap!!! Whats the point of having the feature if it doesnt work!!!
I activated pop ups for my email account and they work just fine... But with sms its no dice, anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
So I finally just downloaded handcent sms and only use it for the pop up quick reply everything else is turned off. Works like a charm and I like it better than the stock pop up quick reply.
I got my G2x about 2 weeks ago and I'm having a problem with Google Voice. The app isn't refreshing in the background. What I mean is that for it update, I have to actually open up the app and then it will refresh. Background is enabled, I double checked. I'm currently using the leaked Gingerbread ROM from Modaco but I don't think that's the issue since I'm was having the exactly same problem with the stock 2.2 which came with the phone. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
I'm also having problems downloading Apps. Sometimes when I try to download an App, it would go from "Starting Download...." to "Downloading...." then just suddenly quit with no error messages at all.
Hate bumping my own thread, but does anyone know what's going on? Getting really annoying to constant have to manually check for texts.
Do you have Synchronize Inbox and Inbox Notifications enabled under the Google Voice App settings?
Yup along with Vibrate
Did you somehow accidentally enable the Do Not Disturb feature in the app or maybe online in your settings?
"Do Not Disturb" is unchecked on both the phone app and the voice website.
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.

I have a S6 and have been loving it, but lately (hangs out or other messaging programs are more noticeable) i some times do not get notification or sounds of a notification when my screen if off, some times i don't even get them if the app is running in the back ground but my phone is on.
I have no idea what the issue is and before the question is asked, yes i have wifi/data to remain on when i have my screen off
turning phone off/reset, turning off and on syncing, clearing app data all of these seem to not to help at all
edit more information: only way i have been able to fix it is have trillian and hangout on at the same time ( both google messaging apps) and get someone to send me a message. I will get one of the two notifications. this is a temp fix however it doesn't fix the problem perma.
I've turned it off on my phone and I've looked on the Android Facebook App but it doesn't seem to have the option to turn it off on notifications and its getting ruddy annoying now, does anyone know
