So after being a long time apple user and long time iTunes hater ... I managed to sell my iphone 4 and bought a samsung galaxy S4, did the same for my other half...
Keep in mind, this is a brand new, no-root, default phone.
The issue basically is notifications, for whatsapp ( at the moment since I haven't set up anything else that requires push, besides gmail). The issue is once I turned the screen off, either manually or by itself. whatsapp notifications randomly stop arriving until I turned on the screen, completely close the app and open it again, the same goes for 2 other devices ( 3 in total), this happens with wifi or mobile data
Device #1. new s4,
Device #2 new s4
Device #3 Samsung galaxy young running 4.1.2 JB.
Now, device #3 belongs to a friend of mine who told of these issues a couple of months ago, however I did pay attention as I just figured it was network connection or wifi or whatever be it.
I've googled the hell out of this and it is apparently an android issue:
it's not telco related in my case, because i had NO ISSUES on my iphone 4 nor my best half's 4s.
Anyway, hopefully someone here has been through something similar and been able to fix it? I've searched the forums and there's apparently a widespread issue, but not fix as of 4.2.2?
New to the forum, I originally posted this here

I emailed whatsapp support, got and automated response, i'll post if I get any updates

Hi,
I just recently switched to a samsung galaxy s4 ( two actually, one for me,
one for GF), before that we used iphone 4 and 4s, never had an issue with
whatsapp notifications until I switched this passed friday. The issue is
once the phone goes into sleep mode, be it mobile data or wifi, I have to
force close the app and open again to receive notifications that I got
hours ago if I don't continously check.
I've googled the hell out of it and found your FAQ, as well as plenty other
sites with the same issue except no solution.
From your FAQ:
1. tried re-installing directly from direct download link (
http://www.whatsapp.com/android/current/WhatsApp.apk) and not from play
store
2. tried rebooting.
3. notifications are set properly
4. google+ is disabled ( hangouts) ( tried enabling it, same result)
5. Wifi is set to always on.
Note this is on stock, brand new phones and apparently it's a wide spread
issue:

Sadly, both
Do you lock the screen while whatsapp is open? Or do you choose whatsapp and then lock the screen?
If whatsapp is still running and on the screen, and you lock the screen, it's like the app just stops checking.. I've had this with multiple phones and its a whatsapp problem, not the phone.

So basically your solution was leave whatsapp on screen and push lockscreen?

No, the opposite. For me, whatsapp only worked and checked for msgs if i closed the app and then locked the screen. I would usually come back to the homescreen or something. But if i locked over whatsapp, it would stop checking or take a really long time.
But since you say you've done both, I'm kinda stumped.

The try backing out of whatsapp before locking the screen. That should fix your problem. Its a whatsapp issue.

Currently trying to installing .763, updated from .762, but whatsapp servers are probably getting busted as can't even verify my number.
Bro install Whatsapp+.
Google and download the apk,install and see if it helps.
If not, the only way is to root the S4 and install push notification fixer from play store. It modifies andriod to check for msges every 5mins. That will solve your problem for sure.

Hey mate,
I've probably tried all apps or methods by insanity to try getting this problem fixed. Unfortunately, nothing positive turned out.
Now I'm trying to off my screen when whatsapp is open, however, I still think it's unbelievably stupid to do so even if it works to get push notification. How can I go back to whatsapp whenever i wanna put the phone back in my jeans pocket? It then seems whatsapp would become the new homescreen?!?!?
Anyone got a real solution to this???
Also having this problem. Screen off, screen on - sometimes whatsapp just doesn't want to receive/send messages. Other times it's working properly.
Have you guys disabled Samsung Push? Have you disabled any system apps at all? Also, do you have the problem even when your phone has a good signal?
I'm also trying to find out the reason for this problem.

I do disable some system app like weather, finance and stuff like those. To me, what I can confirm is the independence of problem from the signal strength since I've been using the same service provider before upgrading to Jelly Bean and there used to be problem free with the push notification.
This is the result I got last night:
- open whatsapp -> close whatsapp -> homescreen -> screen off = no push
- open whatsapp -> close whatsapp -> free ram -> screen off = no push
- open whatsapp -> screen off = push
Conclusion:
- it is not related to free ram
- it is the problem that the andriod system turn off the app upon screen off (or sleep)
Plus.
I tried installing Push Notification Fixer to introduce "heartbeat" to maintain the connectivity, unfortunately, it DOES NOT work in my case.
Let's keep in view the development. At least we are not alone and hope either Whatsapp or Google can fix this.
Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357417
It's a thread which guides you how to disable some allegedly useless google services in order to save battery life when idle. It works, but I think it might have been what's caused my whatsapp to go crazy. I even asked in the thread and some others have the same problem.
But if most other people in this thread haven't disabled said google services, that doesn't make any sense.
Mate. Trust me i know this issue exist on all andriod. i googled the hell out of it because i quarrelled with my partner a few times due to delay in replies. its just the way the kernel is written for stock andriod. you can try everything but it wont work. your only solution is to root and install push notification fixer from play store.

This isn't an issue with android it's an issue with whatsapp. Every android phone I've ever owned has had this issue with whatsapp. Whatsapp need to update their app so it still notifies if it was the last app open whilst the screen locks.
I just press home after I reply and let it lock its second nature to me. The bug is in whatsapp where if it is the last displayed whilst screen lock notifications don't work. You could try changing the conversation tone that might help.

That's wrong... It was perfectly fine, instantly receiving whatsapp messages in my phone no matter what. Something I've changed caused it to stop working.
My problem isn't only the notifications, it's the actual whatsapp messages aswell. Something killed the Whatsapp wakelocks, now my whatsapp isn't causing any wakelocks and when the phone is idle it does not check for messages.
After yesterday's update, I can't set a default sim card for calls and messages. And can't set lock screen wallpaper same as home screen. I am guessing there are more bugs to surface. How to resolve these issues?

no way to resolve them, oneplus really screwed us here lol. people may tell you to install garbage third party dialers or default sim override apps which cost money which is ridiculous. up to you if you want to experiment.
Wallpaper - set the one you want for lockscreen to your homescreen. Than set it as lockscreen and switch back your Homescreen.

It is probably the software that your phone downloaded. Download the 2.1.2 firmware here in XDA, and it flash it to the device. lol
Bluetooth based handsfree is only partialy functioning on multiple cars. Yes, you can dial and receive calls. No addressbook, no Bluetooth DUN, SMS download working sometimes.
And yes, that dual sim default selection for calls is not working too...
Same issue. Only one SIM card will connect at a time. - after rooted .zip update via TWRP.
I got my pro 5 a week ago. All I can say is Flyme needs work... The phone seems to put all the apps on sleep mode and I don't receive incoming notifications for incoming emails or facebook or instagram. Anyone encounter this issue with not receiving notifications and is there a fix?
You might want to check what apps are allowed to run when the phone is in standby. You can find this in Settings/Power Management/Power Optimization/App Management
You are right. Flyme does have issues. It does not have a problem with its default apps. If you're using the default email app you will get notifications. But if you have loaded a third party email app it won't even do a sync unless you manually refresh. I know it's bull****. Also you have to use the on board music player otherwise if again it's a third party app after a few minutes it will go to sleep. I have changed it not to go asleep in power management but it won't make any difference and go to sleep mode after a few minutes. It's default apps won't sleep. Even youtube won't go to sleep which is a good thing especially if your streaming media through chromecast. And if your screens turned off it won't switch off. But flyme should fix this issue. I believe it's a major negative to the phones software.
Just long press app you want in recents window, it will lock it into ram... Works for me for viber, skype, fb messenger etc
I 'm just after 5 minutes I do not have to get notifications for example Gmail to see new emails that have come to me
any idea why this happens, and made the necessary settings so that this does not happen and some app are running in the background or when the screen is off
but I have that problem , notifications do not work.
Hi, I own a pro 5 for almost a year but since last 4 updates, my phone doesn't ring when people calling. I think this is problem from software because I have Chinese version (A). Should I root it for G version? Will it solve the problem? Or should I put other rom on it? If so, how to do it properly and without taking the risk of breaking my phone? I really appreciate your help

Hello,
I advise you to update at last version of firmware and make a clean install.
1. Download lastest update for Meizu PRO 5 (A): http://firmware.meizu.com/Firmwa ... 61223864/update.zip
2. Put the zip file at the root folder of your phone.
3. Shutdown your phone
4. Boot the phone holding Volume UP + Power button
5. Check "System upgrade" + "Clear data"
Note: You'll lost all your data so, backup them before.
Hope it can help you.
I'm having some problem with hangout's notification on Mate 8:
1) When getting phone call using Hangouts, the phone simply doesn't ring, it only vibrates. Or it would ring just for the first 1-2 seconds then it stops ringing.
2) When trying to get hangouts to answer a phone call, I can only find Hangout's answer button on drop down menu instead of lock screen.
3) If I have a miss call from hangouts it would not show up on my mate 8.
Those problems are rather frustrating - any one of you guys are encountering the same problem that might have a fix?
Allow handouts to run in the background. Also make sure everything is checked for the app in notification center.
I have done that. Problem still exists.

Sorry my friend there is nothing to do....Mate 8 has notification problem with android 6, Emui 4.1 and android doze.
We dont know for sure witch of them has the problem.We hope that Huawei will fix this in the future but i dont believe that this will be fix.Mate 7 had the same problems and the most of Huawei phones.
I fixed that by enabling "Keep mobile data on when sleeping" by hitting the gears icon in the upper right in the battery manager app. When that is off is the only time I have experienced a "notification issue" on this device, which makes perfect sense because its disabling data.

Got an AmazFit A1602 watch, Chinese ROM. Set it up, updated it, played with PACEified for a few seconds (hadn't figured out how to OTA the stock ROM yet, so it hung-up when screen went off), went back to Chinese ROM, OTA'd it, reset it in English, and that's where I left it for about a week. Worked great, loved the watch. But, coming from a Gear Live (that wore out), I can't stand not getting my notifications on the watch...
So I dug further into it. Replaced the Chinese ROM with the English ROM - now it thinks it's an A1612 PACE. Kewl. Whatever. App works, everything works, repaired the recovery and OTA works (wellp, now I'm stuck on it, after finding the bootloader is now locked). But NOTIFICATIONS still don't work!
Tried it on a different device - my Nexus 7 tablet. Still no notifications.
Tried reinstalling, tried different app versions, tried everything I can find and think of. No. Notifications.
Do they even work for anyone else?

I might just offer "ad-free" for anyone that can actually help, throw a bounty out there and see if someone can help me. I usually end up asking the hard questions nobody can answer :fingers-crossed:
Probably you've tried this already but it's worth to repeat procedure.
After you paired the watch with your phone, you have to enable notifications in the app, choose witch notifications you want to allow/block and let the amazfit app to access notifications. Last part is usually under Android settings, security. Sounds complicated but it's good to have full control.
Notifications worsk perfectly for me.

Yep, that's the first thing I try - but I appreciate the reply/bump! I think I might throw that bounty out there (if legal to do so) - I'd throw $15 at this problem to get it fixed. Hopefully that's how the donate option works
I enabled notification access to Amazfit app in the Android settings. Under the "notifications" options in the app, I get a miles-long list of apps on the phone, but they are all under the option to "disallow app notifications" -- no apps appear at the top of the page under "Allow app notifications". Presumably the top section is for apps that have sent notifications.
I also "disable battery optimization" and allow contact access for the watch as well.
My phone is a Huawei Honor 5x (kiwi) running CM13 (20161223 nightly) - but also tried on the Nexus 7 (2013) tablet running stock OS, unrooted.
Each app on that list have a switch on the right to enable notifications and move it to the "Allow app notifications".

Screenshots how should look like. Latest dev app does not have push notifications but has another tab. Of course, watch must be connected to the phone to be able to receive notifications. But that's obvious Btw, I didn't touch batter optimization.
Btw, Frys still has the watch on $30 off.

That was it!! Goddamn Chingrish... to me, it looked like that settings page was divided into two - apps that had sent notifications in the past, which I could turn off "allow notifications", and apps that hadn't sent notifications and I could "disallow" them from ever doing so. The Chingrish part is that they should be saying "Allowed" and "Disallowed" notifications... not "allow"/"disallow". It simply doesn't make sense to divide them solely by their switch setting... and since I had no intention of disallowing an app's notifications, I never tried switching ones from the bottom! Also doesn't make a lick of sense to disable them all by default - easily seems like it's malfunctioning. I just went through and switched everything up to "allowed" like it is in Android Wear by default.
Wellp, I got a SMS buzz on my wrist for the first time, and everything is awesome now.
Now I have a new problem...

Just sharing my experience. My notifications stopped working and I went through all the above to no avail. Finally I realised I must have accidentally turned on Silent Mode at some point. It may help to check on your watch that Silent Mode is OFF

Gmail doesn't push notifications to watch
Hi all,
I m experiencing this issue and I really cannot understand what is going wrong and why it does it...i recently purchased amazfit stratos English version and I was not very satisfied with the notifications capabilities..i could only see the first email and read it all way down but if a second mail arrived I could only see the gmail logo and a number( indicating the number of the mails that I have) ..but wasn't able to read each message...very frustrating...same for other apps...Viber and line messenger if I receive more than one message I can only read the last one....so I decide to go with the watchdroid app for the phone and assistant for the watch... everything is running smoothly now,I can even reply to messages (for some reason only sms messages not Viber or line) BUT I do NOT receive my mails from gmail...something that with the amazfit app I could...well I could not read them if they were more than one but the push service was working...with watchdroid gmail push notifications do not work....any help would be appreciated guys!
Thanks in advance,
Stratos
