Crazy gmail problem - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Anyone's phone not ringing?

Hey guy, I have the N4 for tmobile and I have had problems with people calling and not getting though it just sends them straight to voice mail and not pop up to notify me and not ring but when I call out the voicemail pop's up. Anyone having this problem?

Yeah, I think it happens mostly when I leave it alone for a bit.

Bump. Anyone else have this problem? Sometimes I don't get texts and calls go straight to voicemail, I have to restart my phone and that fixes it for a while. It happens randomly. Haven't figured out a pattern yet.
I have had this happen a couple times on both of my Nexus 4 devices.
I have had this happen in the morning. Not sure if it is carrier dependent. I am with Wind.
Yeah happend to me twice !
Same here, T-Mobile in Florida

I'm on T-Mo in VA and the latest CM10.1 nightly and it seems like my phone almost never rings. I am constantly getting "Missed call" notifications. And despite having Google Voice installed, the only messages I get are from the T-Mo VM. Weird....
This has been happening to my wifes Nexus 4 but not mine. It usually only happens in the mornings when the phone has been sitting for a while, after she restarts it, it seems to work fine. Does anyone know a fix for this???
This was happening to me a lot at first, I went to tmobile and got a new mini sim card b/c i cut my old one down and know it seems fine b/c im not waking up to voice mails and no miss calls.

Email

No matter which app I use for my mail, gmail or the stock android one, the notifications are just not consistent.
Sometimes I get them and sometimes I don't but my phone always tells me I have an email so I know its just the nexus 7 that's being funny.
I have checked settings for syncing and everything is on so does anyone know why?
Thanks.

WiFi connection good? Is your WiFi icon grey or blue?
Sent from my Nexus 7
Sounds stupid but you got push enabled haven't you? I made that mistake, or perhaps try the awake time of the app I once had mine set to push through the night and not be awake during the day
WiFi connection is perfect and I do have things set to push.

Whatsapp issue

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..

not a full fix
i tried the new app and while it does drastically reduce the delay its still not perfect
i still experience about 1-2 minutes delay in receiving messages
in any case big improvement

Repeated notifications?

Since yesterday I get repeated notifications for the same thing. For example I'll get a Twitter or Facebook notification. I'll click it and take action in the app, the notification is now gone as normal. A few minutes later I'll get the same notification again! Was wondering if this had something to do with Google Services Framework update since I'm running stock rom and this problem just started yesterday. Very odd. Anyone else?

I got repeat notifications on twitter yesterday as well. Just as u described. Hopefully it was a twitter problem.

Nope. I'm getting them on Facebook too. Think its a Google Push Notification issue that's related to the Google Services Framework update. That's my guess.

I'm getting the same issues on my Nexus 7 too so it definitely appears to be a server issue and not device specific. Hopefully they fix it soon.

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

Even in 4.2.1? Are you sure?
Typo lol. I meant to say I had NO notification issues on 4.2.1

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.

Yep mine always come a out 2 minutes late in comparison to my Nexus 7
