Whatsapp issue - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, sometimes Whatsapp messages show up late. (ive noticed this happens only when screen off)
For example, when I unlock phone, after several minutes I get the Whatsapp notification, I go in, but message shows it was recieved 5-10-15 minutes ago.. Sometimes the clock shows when I want to reply..
No problems with screen on.
Any clue? Sync is on

It happens in both, wifi or Mobile data.. So service provider is dismissed..
I think there must be a config

Most of the time this is because the Servers cant handle the amount of messages being send via WhatsApp. So there is nothing you can really do about it.

This never happened with my s2, which I had until Saturday.. that's why I think is something with the N4 config

I noticed this past Saturday problems sending and receiving messages via Whatsapp, on both iPhone and Nexus 4, but not via stock MMS apps. So it appears that there was an issue on Whatsapp side.

I'm noticing the same thing on my nexus 4 and I'm pretty sure it's not caused by traffic load on the whatsapp servers. On my GSII, messages came through straight away when the phone was sleeping.
On my nexus 4, if the screen is off, messages don't come through until I turn the screen on.
It seems to me that Android 4.2 handles wakelocks differently to ensure the device sleeps without interruption. That's great for battery life, but seems to impairing the ability to receive IMs.

Exactly... It's annoying, since whatsapp is not catalogued as a battery drain or similar..

i still experience about 1-2 minutes delay in receiving messages
in any case big improvement

Handcent battery issue

I have a weird problem with handcent. It keeps the pop up running in memory till i read the text, (i.e) If i don't read the text for 6 hours, Handcent drains the battery for six hours.
Yesterday i had got a text just after i slept , i woke up after 6 hours and found that handcent had drained 40% of the battery. And the "keep awake time" of handcent was 6 hours.
I know this issue persists on other phones also,
Click here.
Do anyone else have this issue on your Nexus s, I had this problem on my stock gingerbread as well, I rooted my phone and flashed oxygen and still the problem exists.
I am using Go sms atm. But i really like handcent , Anyone knows a fix for this.

I would suggest disabling the pop up completely till the app is updated and fixed.

This problem has been there for a long time, There have been many updates and yet handcent hasn't fixed the issue. Very few android phones experience this problem.
i started noticing the same starting about 3 days ago on mine.

[Q] google sync loss

hi, the problem with my nexus 4 is the next: If I leave the nexus for 20 minutes blocked (to enter into deep sleep) when unlocking the screen, the connection becomes gray for several seconds (gtalk is disconnected) and then turns blue. Is this normal?

Welcome to the nexus 4, annoying isn't it.

It happens to me sometimes. But not when I am in a area with high signal. Try flashing a radio that works for you maybe it will help your problem.
Good luck
So this is normal? many users say nexus 4 have also noticed that leaving the device at rest 20 minutes total, to unlock the signal went from blue to gray and within seconds came again blue.
I ordered another device and both had the same behavior

Here's your answer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072930
In short wait for next update.
this is my problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qY94zToCj0&feature=player_embedded
up!
It's the same issue as I linked only on your end its the mobile data that conflict, probably due to provider.
You should wait for the next update and see if it gets fixed.
Meanwhile you can try sims from other providers or different wifif networks to see if the issue persists everywhere.
I think i answered you in a spanish forum
Anyways, have you tried this?

WiFi Problem with my new Nexus 4

Hello, I got my nexus 4 three days ago and I'm facing a problem.
I can't seem to get realtime whatsapp notifications and when I go to the play store or YouTube my WiFi drops and it says connection time out retry and whatsapp messages take forever to receive. Is this a known bug in the nexus 4? Or should O replace my phone and get a new nexus with guarantee.
I'm currently using the march 18 Paranoid Android with Stock PA kernel, I'm not using any battery saver app (I'm using the same apps that I had on my S2) and none of them does anything to WiFi.
I flashed PA too fast after I got the phone but I think I was having this issue out of the box. I haven't changed DPI either.
Thanks in advance.
I tried changing kernel and nothing. Anyone? /:
There is a thread about it in general. But basically known bug, when on wifi and your phone screen is off (in deep sleep) you get delayed notifications or no notifications till you wake the device up.
In the android development section there is a kernel that fixes it for most (myself included.) on my phone and out so can't give links.

I posted my problem in PA thread and no1 seems to be having that problem like me, shouldn't franco's kernel have this issue fixed? Is that the only kernel that fixes that
I agree that it seems odd more people aren't complaining about it. I only really noticed it when I tried to use voip and the phone wouldn't ring when the screen was off.
So far only the one kernel I told you about fixes it. However Google is aware and working on a fix so in time all kernels will be fixed

Are the delayed notifications only a problem on wifi? What about when using HSPA+/3G?

Delay in Notifications?

hi,
just wondering if anyone else has the same problem that i have.
basically i have a delay in a few of my notification such as facebook, whatsapp, twitter. for exmaple i send a message to my friend on whatsapp, i then press the power button and not recieve a response or anything... but like 15 mins later, i recieve a whatsapp notification and see that my friend has sent several messages while my phone was "asleep" plus all my notofications come at the same time. so lets say i receive the whatsapp notification 15 mins later, my twitter notifications would appear along with my gmail notification etc...
could anyone help
It is a known issue of the nexus 4. There is a kernel fix but battery drain is quite affected.
That issue only happens when you are on wifi, test it.
Google is supposed to fix it in next releases... but who knows?
Here u have the fix

I can also confirm that this is a bug in 4.2.2 and not in 4.2.1.
I can't wait for 4.2.3. Google botched it with 4.2.2.

Crazy gmail problem

I just got my Nexus 4 and I donated my Gnex to my wife who seems to be getting on well with it. Both phones are synced to the same Play account and both have the exact same email accounts that they sync with.
The problem is that any email sent seems to arrive on the Gnex way before the Nexus 4. Frequently the Gnex will chime and the N4 will do nothing. Even 15 mins later, the N4 will not chime and if you look at the notifications, there's no new email at all. It's only when you launch the gmail app that the new email will show up!
If you reboot the N4, things go back to normal for a while but soon, the N4 starts to not notify. It doesn't do this all the time but for 75% of the emails, it's quiet.
It's driving me crazy because both phones are setup exactly the same but my shiny new N4 is behaving like an ass.
Can anyone shed some light on this stupid behaviour?

The N4 has an issue with delayed notifications on WiFi. A driver issue. Supposedly Google fixed it for the next ota.
