[Q] Delayed notifications? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
Has anyone else experience delays with push notifications on their Nexus 4? As far as I can tell, any application that uses data has their notifications delayed anywhere from a few minutes to a half an hour when the screen is off on my phone. Gmail, Google Talk, etc. all have this problem. Anyone else? Presumably this is a battery saving feature, but I'd rather have the option to turn it on or off. The problem occurs on both cell and wifi connections.
Thanks!
FK

I have also noticed the same last few days.

Tried different kernels, ROMs. It's a Nexus 4 thing.

Delayed Notifications

It's really annoying to get a message and be notified minutes after. I don't really care for email notifications because most of them are not urgent, but I also use WhatsApp and yesterday I received a notification 1 HOUR after the person sent it to me. It's crazy. I think it has something to do with google talk? The delay is in both WiFi and 3g/hspa. Does anyone have the same issue? Or know how to fix this? Thanks

Same here.
The problem is not the notifications themselves, it's something about the data and the phone.
Gmail does not get the email pushed. When it does, the notification goes off immediately.
But the new email can take as long as 20-30 minutes to get to the phone.
Same about whatsapp, FB... everything that has to do with data.
I tried on wifi and 3G - same behavior, meaning, it is not related to the wifi-when-screen-is-off thread or any change to the QOS in the router, as suggested in other threads I've found.
I am sure I am not the only one to experience this.
Not sure if this is a Nexus 4 or an Android 4.2.1 issue.
Who else has this prob?
Any ideas as to what we can try to do to get to the bottom of this?
i have the same problem on wifi as well as 2g/3g

Don't receive Whatsapp's notification when Device is on dormant mode

Dear All,
I have Nexus 4 device with stock rom and I'm facing the following issue:
When I'm not using the device for few mins and someone sends me notification in whatsapp I'm not getting it. Only when I wake up the device and open the app I'm getting the notification.
Did someone face this issue?
I'm not sure but I think this is some safe mode or something like.
Please help me with that.
Thanks,
Yotam
What kernel are you using

Wait for the miraculous 4.2.2 to turn up. 3 months and waiting so far.

What will 4.2.2 do with regards to this issue?
Wifi is probably going to sleep. Go to advanced wifi settings and set it to remain always awake.
This happened to me, latest franco kernel version is somewhat fixing it!
I'm using the original kernrl, didn't change it yet?
did someone using Franco kernel and stock rom?
In the mean time I Chaged thr ROM to CM 10.1 , but I want to check it also with STOCK rom.
does someone knows which rom is the original one?
wifi sleeps when display is off, so push notifications are delayed, its a problem with 4.1.2, I currently haven't found a solution and its not my modem, wait for 4.2.2,
when streaming, display must be on to complete transfers
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40065
A work around, someone pointed out in another thread, is to set wifi deliberately to turn off when phone sleeps and leave mobile data on.. when you get a notification phone will wake and wifi will switch back on to receive notification.
can confim this works, i leave 2g only on.
Check your APN settings cos mine was doing the same thing till I changed the APN settings.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I was thinking that APN should be also an issue. in the mean time I switched to CM 10.1 and this issue dissapear
Is the problem only when you are using mobile data or is it wifi as well. Have you tried it with whatsapp plus.

It's seems that I've the same problem. When I just turn off the screen I've the notifications but when the phone sleeps more than few minutes I don't receive notifications.
I have franco r71, I see if this fix the problem as someone said before.
Is this happening to everyone or just a few people (including me)?

WhatsApp on the Nexus 4 seems to be a complete and utter disaster. I don't know why but it takes 10-20 seconds to send messages via whatsapp, even when my signal is perfectly full and I could be browsing. On my old S1, it would send them almost instantly, the N4 seems to wait, dilly dally for a little bit then send them when it's happy to. I can't tell if it's a modem issue or a bug in JB but it's getting annoying.
I regularly receive clumps of 4 or 5 messages. They do usually arrive, even when in dormant, but they don't arrive like, one after the other, they just arrive all at once.
Its the standard jb WiFi issue described in Google bug report and happens to everyone.
Whatsapp is fine over 3g if.you have a decent 3g connection. In fact I use whatsapp on 2g and notifications are instant with the screen off.
As a side note, on fauxs latest beta kernel I haven't had the signal bars turn grey.

Not for me. It's fine over WiFi. Totally b0rken over 3G, takes ages to update and send messages
FYI this also happens with Facebook messenger

Can't decide what it is. Internet browsing seems fine on this phone, but WhatsApp is ****ed.
Even further problems today, surely this is to do with the baseband?

Hangouts message delays on nexus 4

Are there anyone feel that there are some delays when you receive hangouts message on nexus 4 from other device?
I tested out there are no problem on HTC one x and iPhone.
Thanks.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
There are universally delayed notifications on the Nexus 4 when on Wi-Fi. I find that hangouts, as well as messages from services like WhatsApp are delayed on WiFi. That said, hangouts seems to be quicker and instant when on mobile data than WhatsApp for me, which can be a bit slow.
Yes, you are right. I tested out when Wi-Fi is turned on.
Is that kind of software or hardware problem?

FYI - I have no such issues on wifi or 3G.
One suggestion is maybe it's your wifi network being of "poor" connection so your phone (temporarily) stops using it. There's a setting in advance to disable it.

... for some people.
Just wanted to point out that it's not totally universal, it seems to be dependent on the exact type of WiFi hardware being used.

There is no problem with my wifi and connection is perfect.
How come other service is no problem and just this one?
I have the same problem. I get delayed notifications of hangouts messages and I am even missing video calls from that service.Some times I get the delayed messages the moment I open the app. I am on stock 4.2.2 not rooted.

Same here. For me WiFi or gsm data makes no difference. I get missed video calls 30 mins after the call was actually made, and usually only receive messages 30+ minutes after they're sent. It seems the service is only instant if I'm actively using my phone.
I have the occasional delay on What'sApp, but it's far, far worse on Hangouts. This makes Hangouts worse than useless... since people see that I haven't read the message 30 mins later and end up calling/txting anyway.
I have the exact same problem. Thought It was because of WiFi but it happens on data as well

Same here regardless the connection (wifi or 3g).
I just hope Google fix this notification problem on the Nexus 4.
Otherwise I am jumping ship from the Nexus line (for the first time since the 1st Nexus came out) and possibly buying a SGS4 (yuk, but least it should work).

can you give me some more details?? are you on stock or root??? did the problem get solved forever whether on stock rom or any custom rom???
After the update of Hangouts to 1.1 and the 4.3 update the problem seems to be solved, at least for the moment.
if its that you guys arent getting messages when the screen is off, raise your voltage at 384mhz to 800mV or higher. if the issue was the delayed notifications with the screen off, than this should fix it.

AOSP Push Notifications Instagram Issue

So I have tried a variety of ROMS over the last few months, and noticed that I do not get any notifications on Instagram. I am not sure why, but my Nexus 7 running stock gets them. I have even tested this by turning Airplane mode on my Nexus 7 on, so that I can thoroughly test it on my Nexus 4 if it would receive notifications. Anyone with any possible ideas, I would be greatly appreciative and all ears.

Severe delay in all kinds of notification on my Nexus 6P until I wake up phone screen

So I am seeing this issue increasing on daily basis. My phone is usually in my pocked (not in doze) or some times lying around on the desk (dozed/not dozed, but still notification should deliver late). But I have noticed that in both situations, I don't receive any notification until I actually turn on the screen. As soon as I turn the screen on, notifications start to come in all together.. (around 4-5 notification comes together). It seems that they were pending to be delivered but were never delivered to the device until I woke it up and data connection restored.
I understand that in doze mode, notifications are delayed but are delivered, but in my situation they are not even delivered until I turn on the screen and wait a couple to 5 seconds.
A few P.S.
- I am on Stock Android without anykind of root (systemless or regular).
- I don't have any kind of advanced battery saving mode on or app installed (greenify or clean master etc).
- I don't have battery optimization for whatsapp still no notification comes in :crying:
- I see it on both Wifi and LTE..
- Cellular notifications like sms, mms or calls are not affected with this issue, they come on time.
Bumping up this thread!
Anybody else experiencing this issue or do you have any suggestions to resolve this issue?
This is a known issue and does not need to be bumped as not only are their multiple threads about this issue but google is already actively working on a fix.... https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=197805

The thread doesn't just cover gmail. If you look past the title, they are working on fixing issues relating to push notifications in general. Gmail was just the first app reported as having issues. Push notifications currently aren't functioning correctly on the 6P. Google is working to fix the issue. If you actually google notifications not showing up on 6P, quite a few news articles and Android forums will give you the same answer I was trying to give you.
I only experience this when I turn my phone on first thing in the morning, otherwise no.
I have notification issues on almost every Android phone, when on WiFi. It seems to be a known issue but been around/unresolved forever.
I use an app called DNSet, it runs automatically at startup and fixes this issue.

Thanks for the suggestion, i'll try it myself.. and report back.
Right now I am using Push Notification Fixer and results are really mixed. It works sometimes and others are as bad as no notification for minutes or hours until screen is turned on.
Please update following defect at google bug tracker stating you are also experiencing this issue.
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=198686
Well, also if I have another phone (an Xperia) with Nougat 7.1.1 I have the same issue, which I also faced on older version of Android (eg on a Wiko Rainbow Jam with Lollipop)
I'm doing some tests in the generic section of the forum:

I know you said it's happening on both LTE and Wi-Fi, but many people look past their carrier / geographic location as the culprit. Please update your XDA profile with that information. Everyone should have this most basic information in their profile. Thanks.
