WhatsApp curiosity - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

WARNING :THIS IS NOT RELATED TO NOTE 5.
This is a question i have regarding whatsapp and did not know where to post.
So,i texted my friend in wa but it was not delivered (single tick)
Its been more than 7 days .he has not blocked me and has changed his dp and status multiple times (so his data is working fine).
And this has occurred another time too with a diff friend
Can anyone help what was the case?

AFAIK, tHEY have changed their settings and hid their "read reports" for ticks, so they can read read messages but ticks wont go blue, so you will see that THEY DIDNT READ MESSAGE and THEY also wont be able to see MSGS for your ticks, CHECK whatsapp setting and play with it, you will know how it works.

But it in case it is just a single tick

1. try different wifi / ip address
2. send your friend a message from another whatsapp from same wifi /network of your phone.
3. Reinstall whatsapp.

Maybe he is using whatsapp plus where he can disable second tick and still recieve msgs read and answer them

That might be it
I have no idea about whatsapp plus
If he can read my msgs without the blue tick then why are the previous msgs blue ticked?

You missed my question ?

At the moment he enables blue ticks hiding then you wont see blue ticks anymore but the previous ones will still be blue.if he decides to re-enable blue ticks showing then all will be blue

There is just one tick,which means he has not received the message right?
But he has changed his dp ,status etc after that and its still one tick
So my question is that is it a fault of whatsapp servers that he didn't receivemy text or has he done something which lets him view my text with double ticks

you might just be unlucky to be sending the message when the whatsapp servers are having issues.
so probably your friend did not even receive the message.
anyway, you can always just text your friend again to see if its really a repeated issue or its just you're unlucky that day.

latest cyanogen mod - email not updating

Currently I am running the latest cyanogen mod on my g1 and for the past few updates my email won't update with new messages. The only way to get new emails is to do a manual update. My twitter updates as it always has.
Thoughts?
Hmmm lets c....u want ur email to autoupdate.....now if only there were such an option in settings somewhere
Btw, u posted in the wrong forum. There is a forum section labelled Q/A....since u have a question and want an answer, id assume tht section would be appropriate.
Thank you for the quick reply and the insightful suggestion. I did however already check to make sure that the autoupdate box was checked.
My apologies for posting in the wrong section. I will be sure start a new post somewhere else...
I just figured since I'm running a mod and this seems to be a bug of some kind perhaps, I'd post here.
Perhaps posting in the cyanogenmod thread would be appropriate, then.

This is not an SMS or Twitter! You have more than 160 chars to work with, so stop writing like that!
I guess I should have clarified...
The update interval on email (imap) accounts is set to 1 hour.
I was talking about gmail and from what I can see there is no selection for update interval. Only data sync under settings which is all checked.

I've had this problem before, I would completely wipe and reinstall cyanogenmod (Wipe, Htc recovery, the whole 6 miles)
I was kinda of afraid that it would come to that.
Thanks for the input and no flameage...

dude... this isn't a debate either, so don't start random arguments.
I had the same issue, and a full wipe sorted it for me.
Cheers! Thanks for the heads up
I'm also having this problem (with the Work Email app though). Think i'm going to wait until some 2.1 Eclair builds start appearing though before I do a full wipe.
A wipe seems to have fixed my gmail issue. The other issue I have is with SMS messages. Not sure if it's a problem with my phone or google voice though. For some reason i'm not getting my GV messages right away. This might be a short coming of GV.

which voice app are you using?
I'm using the app from google. If I set up the app to check for messages every 5 minutes it works great.
They way I'd like to have it set up is that Google will send me an actual SMS message. Allowing me to reply to that SMS as I normally would. Not via the Voice app.
Please state the MOD number instead of "the latest". Makes it better for everybody. Thanks

I get mine instantly, I think it is a shortcoming of the app. If I don't have the app it is instant, if I do then it comes at scheduled times. Try it without the app (It's just an interface anyway, you can get the same things through email)
I think I will try uninstalling the app and see what happens.
Thanks!

Google plus notifications

Hey all
I don't seem to receive push notifications on my nexus s with Google plus. I have the feature enabled but still nothing.
Anyone else having this issue?

Notifications have been super slow for me. It does come through eventually though.

yeah, working for a bit, then not working for me now.
I receive the push notifications right away with no problem. However, within 30-60 seconds or so they disappear.
They're still new/unread if I open the app.
I've verified this happens even if I turn off all other browsers/devices that might be connected.
I've verified this happens to a family member and a friend with an Epic 4G and an Evo 4G in addition to my NS4G and TF101.
Yeah, pretty slow.
but they work.
Mine work sometimes, but are really late. Other times, they just don't come through at all until I open the app itself. The push notification implementation is pretty useless overall in my experience unfortunately.
I have the same issue.

oh i thought they meant the email setting or sms settings through the site itself. i have all of those turned off.
Google+ IS in it's beta still for a reason...
Seems to me, if someone comments on something I post, I get the notification immediately. I also get notified immediately if someone tags me in a post or picture. The slow notifications seem to happen when someone is commenting on something I've commented on. Anyone else having this experience?

Under Google + Settings, Set delivery preferences, phone, I put my phone number, confirmed it and chose 'push notifications'. After that, the app started notifying me on everything I left checked.

i thought that worked separately from the app like for non smart phones. i dont have any of that set up on the desktop and i just use the app on my phone and i get everything in just a few minutes.
i think people sometimes expect to much from "push" as far as speed goes. you have to keep in mind youre not the only one on the system and network traffic can slow things up. if your "push" notification comes in 10 mins or less then whats the big deal? in other words you want true instant push go blackberry, seems like they perfected it, otherwise i think however it works it works.

ClockworkMod DesktopSMS: Sending and receiving texts from your XOOM (and desktop)

DesktopSMS forwards all your incoming SMS on your *Android Phone* to your Gmail to GTalk.
You can then reply to the chat request or email, and the response will be sent back from your phone as a text message. This is very similar to Google Voice, except you won't need a new number or anything annoying like that!
http://app.net/desktopsms
Installation:
1) Install DesktopSMS on your ANDROID PHONE. (Not onto your XOOM)
2) Login to Desktop SMS on your ANDROID ****PHONE****.
3) Install a Chat client like Google Talk (which may already be on your XOOM) onto your XOOM or desktop PC.
4) Receive a text. Watch as your text gets converted to an email and google chat message
5) Respond!
So, once again, this app is only installed on your phone. Then just install your favorite IM client on your desktop and tablet, and the rest will work magically!
You do not need to install this on both your phone and tablet like other apps. You do not need to be on the same network like other apps. This all works by magic (my servers).
Let me know what you think. This is in a free beta right now, so be prepared for some bugs! I'd love to hear your feedback.
Wrote you a PM
well, I don't have a smart phone so thats a problem.
I, like many others, have ditched their smartphomes and activated their xooms. I now only have a dummy phone. I didn't see a need in paying for two data plans because I ws rarey using my phone. Now I use it to talk and text.... even though I wish it was only to talk.
I am waiting for the day that I can SMS on my Xoom using my current phone number. Guess I'll jabe to keep waiting. lol
Works awesome...just had a conversation with myself, through gtalk. Hahaha havnt tried it with my xoom yet. But im pretty sure it will work just fine. Very good job
It looks great but I cannot seem to get it to work yet, Mr. Koush. I have it signed it with push notifications successfully on my gmail account on my OG Droid. I can do the test message from within the app and it pops up on my phone like always, but other than that it does nothing on my Xoom, or on anything else for that matter. It seems almost like the push notifications are not even being sent out.
EDIT: I found out what the problem was. I had the default messaging app totally disabled, as I am using Handcent SMS as a complete replacement to the default one. I would like to use Handcent SMS instead of the default one. I know its beta and I cannot wait for updates!

It looks like after you receive your first text from that person after you accepted the "chat invite" on your Gtalk account it syncs up with your current contact list automatically. It shows the phone number on the left side of the screen under your gmail account, but in the chat window it shows that contacts name in parenthesis.
This ofcourse is for if you are using the Xoom with Gtalk, such as myself. I haven't tried anything else yet.
Could it be that the contacts NAME will be in the gtalk LIST instead of phonenumber ?
OK, being a bit thick here.
I'm using GoSMS Pro, but as far as I know, the default messaging app is still active, just without any notifications... does this make a difference?
Not currently receiving any notifications in email or g-talk... :/

Are u signed in in the app? The first time the app froze, i had to go back into it and sign in.
Just tested it with my xoom and it works great.
Looking for a little help, I have the app installed on my HTC desire HD, and it will forward the text to my gmail and talk, but when I reply nothing happens. Am i missing something, I've triedreplying through talk and gmail, and nothing from both.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

*edit* update took care of it, never mind.
@Koush
I am having an issue getting the app to try it out. When I tell the system to send me a link, it does, but it sends me a link for the link request page again. It does not send me a link to the actual app.
EDIT: Nevermind. I figured it out. Shouldn't browse until I had my coffee.

Is it possible that your push servers are blocked in China?
I can correctly Login with Google Account, but get an error on 'registering with push server....' (takes long and eventually times out)
Error message: "Login failed. Please check your password. If the error persists, please send a log to the developer"
here is a log... maybe it helps analyze why i can't connect with the push servers...
Ok, it's just updated, and when I go to send a test SMS, it brings up
The application GoSMS was found installed. If you do not recieve a text message, please verify that it has not disabled SMS notifications in the application's settings.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So that's cool, then I send the test. GoSMS then pops up the text, as it always does.
However, it still doesn't appear to be sending me an email.
When it says "please verify that it has not disabled SMS notifications in the application's settings", does it mean the default Messaging app?
I've tested by disabling the taskbar notification for GoSMS and re-enabling it for the default Messaging app, but even then, there is no sound nor visual cue that an SMS has arrived... is this why it's not working? Has GoSMS broken my default messaging app?

text notifications very erratic

my email notifications work perfectly, but my text notifications are so erratic that I'm considering returning the thing (& I love it).
Sometimes I get the notification right away, sometimes it comes in 5 minutes after the phone gets it and other times I don't get it at all.
Is there any fix for this??
I got my first text on my watch today since I had the watch last week. I really want to keep it, but I want to see what the possible Google watch will be later. Also for your question try restoring your gear and repairing with phone. I'm sadly sending mine back.

Reminder if you get a text or email while phone on, you will not get notification through the Gear.

I have had zero issues with text notifications. Make sure you uninstall any other txt messaging apps. When I had gosms installed I didn't get any notifications. Once I uninstalled it, I get perfect notifications.
If you download the nodded SMS a pk you can have texts come in without turning your screen on. This makes texts appear on the watch instantly cause the screen is off.

Download what??
Sorry about that. In the themes and apps section of your note 3s XDA you can download a modded MMS apk so your screen does not turn on when you get a text message
Issue probably is related to the screen turning on when a text arrives, which could be happening from another SMS app you have downloaded.

text notification issues

All of a sudden I have 1 number in my phone that I do not get notifications from when they text me. My phone for not ring, vibrate, light up, nothing. This only happens with this one number, all other contacts work fine. I'm using the default messaging app and on the latest Google update. Has anyone has this issue. Is there something that maybe I clicked on that could have caused this.

You haven't accidentally blocked that number by accident have you?
To check this do the following, go to the messaging app > click on the 3 dot menu > check to see if the number/contact is listed there.
If it is click on the contact/number and then click on unblock.
Hope this is of some help.
It doesn't sound like this is your issue, but carriers will have a separate block-list that works account-wide. For example, numbers blocked in the Google Fi app will be blocked for all phones covered by that account. I seem to remember my last carrier having something similar on their website.
Although, can you clarify something... does the SMS appear in your messaging app and there's no notification... or does nothing at all appear?

The message appears in the messaging app, I just don't get any notification. As far as I can see, it hasn't been blocked anywhere. It is my son's phone number so I know I wouldn't have done it purposely. I've thought about dirty flashing the FW again to see if that fixes it out just wait till the new one comes out next month

I checked and the number is not blocked. Hopefully next months update will fix it when I flash it.
If you use Messages, look at the notification settings and make sure you haven't toggled a conversation name off. Doing so would match what you're seeing.

Ok thank you. I'll check that, but suddenly it is working again. I am leading toward it being a glitch in the FW. I'm gonna wait till the new one comes out and upgrade it and see if it happens again
