Notifications showing only after I open apps - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I thought it was a google thing since my hangouts/talk msgs and gmail email have been recently slow or nonexistant but I've noticed it with other apps. This has been going on for a week or so. IM repies, email, score notifications often don't show until I open the app or refresh(gmail). Thing is...it's very random. Sometimes they all seem to be on time. Other times, not. It's very random.
They can show in my notification bar on time, minutes late or hours late and, again, sometimes not until I open the app. I've noticed it much more this weekend when I've mostly been on wifi but emails and such will show on my laptop(running off same wifi) yet may or may not push to the phone as stated previously.
Any ideas?

Any other owners having some problems with push Gmail?

Normally I get my emails instantly, but I've been noticing that when my phone sleeps for a while I will not get my email instantly. For example, I just check my email on my computer and noticed that I got an email almost 30 minutes ago, so I checked my EVO (woke it up after sleeping for an hour or so), and I got the email a few minutes later. I've also noticed that sometimes after waking up from sleep mode I won't have a data connection for a minute or so. I turned on wifi right now, and I just got a test email instantly. Thoughts?
That sounds like a ****ty problem. Please keep us updated.
Sometimes task killing gmail causes all sorts of notification issues. Makes sure a task killer or something similar isn't closing it.
Not sure on the data loss on wake up that could be a bug or defective radio. Obviously if there is no data connection you won't get the email. You might have a bad unit as we haven't heard anyone else complain and with a few thousand units out there a bug like that would likely be a big issue.

I don't use a task killer, so that isn't the issue. I actually just got an email on time just now without touching my phone for a while, so maybe it was just some weird bug. I'm still going to keep checking this out, though.

I haven't noticed any lag with gmail.

I have heard from those who tried to activate the Google I/O versions to their old numbers have been told they might experience problems because the EVO is not officially recognized on the Sprint network until the 4th.
Could this be related. I mean even if you don't port your number the EVO is still operating on a system that does not know it is an evo.

I'm pretty sure this was a Google thing more than a EVO thing. I was having similar issues with my iPhone.
I have this problem on and off, but I really think it's just the data connection to the phone.
If I send myself a gmail, or google voice, it sometimes gets delayed, sometimes comes instantly.
I just tried it right now in a highrise in downtown los angeles (no data issues) and an email took about two minutes to show up on the phone (after it showed up in my inbox).
There were issues with gmail push last night. Seems fine now.

[Q] Issues with GChat on Xoom?

Has anyone had any issues with Google Chat on their Xoom?
For the last couple of days my comments would appear at the bottom of the conversation, and the other party's would appear at the top of the conversation. This is instead of sequential order, it is really frustrating and increadibly hard to decipher. Has anyone else had this problem, or have any ideas for a fix?
is the time/timezone on your xoom incorrect? I had that the first day with my phone because I was set to automatically update my time via my carrier - and my carrier didn't fix the time change until mid-day... all gchat convos looked odd because I was writting an hour early and getting replies an hour late.
Ok that might not make sense. Check time/timezone.
Have not had any issues like this and I use my Gtalk everyday. Like MitchRapp said, Time/timzone would be a good thing to check. Try to check what the gtalk log says on your gmail account, might give some clues..
I get that on my Evo's text message app when one of hour phone's clocks are off.
Thanks guys, the time was the issue.
I had been traveling and I manually updated the clock because it didn't do it automatically because airplane mode was on. Very relieved.

No Push Notifications Coming Through (Gmail, WordFeud to be exact)

So I have Gmail app and WordFeud app on my phone and just recently, the notifications have stopped. I'll log into Gmail on my computer and see that I have 2 or 3 new items from as long 4 or 5 hours ago and have not received any notificaiton on my phone about. On my phone, I'll go into Gmail, hit refresh, and then the mail shows.
With WordFeud, I go in and see that it's been "my turn" for hours but I never received a notification. I've checked and verified that background data and auto-sync is on, but regardless, no changes have been made to my phone between the time when I always received notifications and now, when I don't receive them. All SMS and MMS messages come through right on time with notifications, so I have no idea what's happened with Gmail and WordFeud.
Anybody else run into these issues in the past, or now? Thanks for any advice!
One more thing, which is odd... I've noticed that when I wake up in the morning, like 6:30AM, I have Gmail and WordFeud notifications that must have came through overnight, but it's for new stuff, nothing I previously manually refreshed and deleted in Gmail for example. After that, I don't get Gmail or Wordfeud notifications for the rest of the day until the next morning. So, it seems like I get them once a day, which is sometime overnight. Weird, I know, I wish I knew what caused this...
nevermind on this guys... after some testing i was able to determine the root cause. it was due to a combination of having gtalk disabled and the wifi connection that i'm connected to at work. basically, with the wifi connection i have at work, gtalk can't connect to it. i turned off my work wifi connection, which turned 3G back on, and i was able to connect to gtalk. once connected to gtalk, push notifications began coming thru just fine.
i re-tested this by connecting back to my work wifi and this made gtalk disable automatically, as it could no longer stay connected. i sent myself a test email via my computer and it never came thru on my phone (unless i opened gmail and manually refreshed). turned off work wifi... 3G comes back on and gtalk auto connected and my (2nd test) email finally came thru on my phone!
i tested this with my wifi connection at home and gtalk connects to that just fine, so the main culprit of this entire post was the wifi connection at my work (some strong security i guess)! the great thing i took away from this is that, bottom line, in order to receive push notifications, gtalk must be enabled and connected!!
(figured i'd post all of this, not only for you guys or anyone that has an issue like this, but also so i can come back and read it if i ever forget what i tested!)
PEACE

Not getting notifications on watch or on phone, driving me crazy!

So lately I have not been getting hangout notifications and it's driving me nuts. I have it paired to my android wear watch and 80% of the time it works fine but other times I get text messages and nothing, no buzz, not even a notification in my task manager letting me know I have a unread message, totally blank. It's not until I go into hangouts and I see the bold text that I know I got a message. Even when not paired to the watch,same thing, no buzz, sound, notificiaon icon, nothing until I open hangouts and see it.
Anyone else having this issue?? Driving me crazy and I already missed plans with friends because of it. Fully stock and on 6.0.1 as of a few days ago and still the problem.
Are you logged into hangouts on another device or computer? Also check to make sure you didn't snooze their notifications.

I had this issue. Try turning off wifi and see if it works. Mine did on cell data only. The messages would come into me on wifi, but I would just not get notified. I did a roll back on it and a re-install and it started working again normally. The first time I had this was on my Nexus 6. This is a LONG running hangouts problem ( various posts out there show it going back to 2012 ).

Background data/apps restricted despite being disabled

I have an odd issue on the T-mo variant and while it's great for battery life, it's killing my workflow!
This has happened across multiple ROMs and since I've had the phone.
It also seems to be the same in Wifi and Cellular.
After about 5 minutes of turning off the screen, the phone stops getting notification.
For example, with the phone off, I have no Whatsapp messages.
Once I open Whatsapp on the other had, the phone blows up with all sorts of missed messages.
Same is true with other apps.
I use a messaging app, and the user account for the phone actually shows disconnected with the phone off.
It only comes back if I open the app, or after the phone is on about 3-4 minutes.
I have excluded the above apps in optimization, with the same results.
So, who's got ideas?

Im not experiencing the delay but via text as you but I'm definitely getting the lagging Gmail. I click it (sometimes I dont have to) and wham ... 8 emails. It's really become an issue. I do experience the random no reply from a texting every now & then ... It seems to be only non TMobile people it does it with. Like me and someone can be having a lengthy back & forth via text and outta nowhere they won't respond. Someone mentioned using Textra as a fix.
Im rooted on stock rom, T-Mobile with a few minimalistic thing's frozen.
