Hi,
I have a problem with Whatsapp program. It works perfectly fine when it comes to sending messages, although I have a problem with staying connected. The messages are delayed (sometimes it's even over 30 minutes) and when I simply wanna unlock my phone and text someone, the person won't receive my message until I reconnect my mobile data (grey clock icon on the left of my message). I've already seen many instructions on the net, like reinstalling Whatsapp, rebooting my phone, checking if my sync works and all that, but none of them worked for me. It really starts to annoy me, but I like this program alot and I don't want to give up on it that fast. So is there any way to force Whatsapp to stay connected full-time ?
I'm using MiniCM-2.2.0 with latest nAa Kernel.
Regards
Bump, spent the whole night browsing the net for similliar topics and found nothing...

well maybe you shouldn't give up on whatsapp but the ROM instead. What i mean is, maybe something inside the ROM/kernel wasn't installed properly and you could try reinstalling ROM and/or kernel... I know it's a stupid solution but it saved me many times when i couldn't find the answer anymore

Thank you for your reply. I already had the problem on previous ROMs (I mainly used MiniCM). Maybe I'll give GingerDX a shot. I'll tell you how it went.

Did you leave the app in background? When you leave Whatsapp, dont click back button, try clicking home button?? Dont move app to SD if you did!
Hit The THANKS Button If I Helped You!

i belive that whatsapp is running in background by default, so as programs such as viber, hotmail, etc. but we all know that this can be checked under settings > applications > running applications
but i agree that moving whatsapp to SD could be the problem, although i had no problem when i moved it to SD
I didn't move it to SD card and I don't use any task killer. Process manager says it is running in the background. Still no idea how to fix it.
if it isn't because of moving to SD, and it is running in background, if it isn't because of ROM (you've said that you have used some ROMs before and that there was the same problem), if your data settings work normally (sync and stuff), if the problem persist on wifi and 3g and edge,...
it occurs to me that it can only be due to two things, maybe you installed cracked version of whatsapp due to 1-year-free expiration, or maybe something went wrong when you installed your current kernel
P.S. whatsapp is 70% of communication on my X8, and i understand you very well when you say that you won't give up on it so easily

I didn't crack anything, I'm still on trial. If I wanted to get another free year, I'd change my phone number I also reinstalled the kernel too.
EDIT: Now it works properly on WIFI only. Still disconnects after couple of minutes on 3G.
EDIT2: It seems like reinstalling GDX and Alfs finally worked for me. Thanks for all the help guys
Another update:
after a few hours I'm back to the point where I started... the problem's still there. I'm really pissed off now -.-

It is only logical that Whatsapp won't implement itself right on your phone... This is all ridicoulos right know, because for as far as i know, you almost tried every solution possible, you've changed to other ROM, heck, you've even changed to other kernel and it still doesn't work.
You said it worked for a while, maybe some of the settings you've changed, and apps you've installed AFTER it was all working properly was interfering with your newly applied settings and/or installed apps

I've installed Advanced Task Killer to see if it's the problem with Whatsapp, but it didn't block me from receiving the messages or anything. I uninstalled ATK and like an hour later, the problem occured again. I'll reinstall the kernel and the ROM again and leave it with only Whatsapp installed for a day. If that doesn't work, I might just buy an Xperia Neo V :S
Maybe it's because I connect to another network instead of my providers one ? I have data roaming enabled and stuff and I connect to Plus instead of Play (even though Play says they allow such things). Could this cause the problem ?
Or Swype Beta maybe ? I'm running out of ideas...
I just found out that when Whatsapp's not showing the "last seen" date (not connected), when I enter any website in the browser and return to Whatsapp, it shows the "last seen" properly. But I still have no idea what can this be...

Wait, does it work normally when you are on wi-fi? try to test whatsapp when you are strictly on wifi (wich means that you turn off celluar data, data roaming and national roaming), so that we can definitly exclude the problem of wifi.
if the problem isn't in wifi, try to connect on your providers network (PLAY) instead of other network (PLUS), and see if the problem persists
if the probelm still persists i belive there is counterinterfering with some application...
i know that i'm offering too much possible solutions, but i think that this can only be solved by method of trying out every possibility

As from what I see for the last 30 minutes, it's working fine on WIFI. I also tried switching to Play and disabling the roamings, but it still kept disconnecting.
The apps I have installed:
- Barcode Scanner
- Battle.net Mobile Authenticator
- Dolphin Browser
- exDialer & exContacts
- GG (Polish messenger, but I doubt it causes any errors as I just installed it recently)
- GO SMS Pro
- Real Player
- Root Uninstaller Pro (I only uninstalled DSP Manager)
- Whatsapp obviously
- ColorNote
- Nexus ICS Minimal Analog Clock
That's pretty much everything I have. I didn't change anything in the settings of GingerDX itself. I'm really helpless here...
huh, nothing from that list shouldn't interfere with anything... maybe you should put back ATK and see what exactly happens with whatsapp when it disconnects from network
i'm really running out of ideas
It's pretty simple. It's got nothing to do with your ROM, kernel, 3G or WiFi - AFAIK. Rather, I think it's to some extent do to your connectivity. The app's refresh interval apparently varies. Seems worse when you have many long threads. Deleting a few threads seems to work from time to time. I however use another android device & I assure you the problem is in no way restricted to the X8

So it's normal that I get my messages delayed by around 30 minutes or even more ? I clear my logs every day, so I think the messages should arrive like... instantly :S

Hi,
Do you still have the problem of the messages getting delayed?
I have the same problem since three months now I think.
I have already tried everything you guys said here.
I have no problems what so ever on WI-FI but only on 3G.
I think it has something to do with Whatsapp, maybe even with our accounts in specific.
Did you ever fix this problem?
Because I am having it on my Samsung Nexus S.
I found that when I send a message, and I am running whatsapp in the background I still woulnd't recieve the messages.
So I hope you found the solution and could maybe share? :angel:

try using supercharger v6 with script manager & use use multitasking settings

I'm experiencing problems with Gmail and whatsapp: whenever I'm on my home wifi the push does not work. But more problematic, sometimes it does work. Next to that when I go into whatsapp after a day of no messages they all arrive at once.
So I'm able to receive messages and Internet works, but the push services doesn't work most of the time! I'm not on stamina mode or any other battery app (BTW battery of my z1 is worse than my sp).
Does anyone have an idea how to find out if there's a culprit or what settings I've messed up?

So nobody has a clue I gather?
To my look like the Auto-Sync is OFF so turn it ON. If is already ON probably Gmail and Whazzuppe is not in the list so you have to addict it manually + Add Account.

Thanks for thinking with me, though that is not the case! Sync is on and it works perfectly on other wifi networks.
I can report a more peculiar fact: pinging google.com with Fing results in 100% packet loss, though pinging for example tweakers.net gives me an average of 40msec. Strangely I can brows to www.google.com in Chrome... It seems as though there's something very wrong with my Z1 because pinging Google.com with my Xperia SP does work!
Any news on this?
I'm experiencing the exact same problem. It has been around for at least a couple of months on my Nexus 4.
Most of the times I don't receive any push notifications. I need to open the app manually, wait a couple of seconds, and then all the new messages come in.
Here is what I tried so far:
- Notification settings for each app
- Reinstalled complete OS
- Background data is allowed
- Wifi policy is "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" -> Always
- I don't have any battery savings or task killer apps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2599417
I also tried this, and now I only have the OS and Whatsapp installed. But the problem persists.
I have the same problems since KitKat.
Sometimes I have to open the app to become the messages.
I had this problem with 681, then I done a full wipe and installed the 757 rom.
But i also have this problem....
So as it turns out, the problem only exists in my wifi at home.
When I'm at the university everything works fine.
I also noticed that facebook and instagram are very slow on my phone at home.
And only the apps, not the websites.
(this also has been around for a couple of months)
Having the same issue with my HTC M8. Guess I just have to find out what settings are causing this on my router.
Edit: Fixed it. My VPN's DNS servers were blocking push. Changing them back to googles DNS brought push back.
Actually, I was also facing the problem. I tried to get it solved by uninstalling all the recently downloaded apps, but it didn't work for me. And I couldn't uninstall all the apps.
Then I got the idea that it may be because of some setting on my router. I don't know much about router settings. So, I finally installed the VPN App Opera Max and it worked. It was a big relief for me.

Max does not change DNS settings so in theory it shouldn't fix this issue. It's possible that your issue was unrelated to this one.
after updating my lumia 625 to WP 8.1 beta im having notification problems with both viber and whats app... it seems like when my phone is locked it kind of goes into deep sleep and never gives any notifications for viber and whats app... after unlocking my phone i could sometimes see rush of notifications all at onece.. and sometimes i have to open the app to get the notifications.. its annoying... i bought 625 a week ago and immediately updated to 8.1 beta....its my first WP so im a bit confused.. am i missing something?? or this notification problems have been present from the beginning?? if any one could help i will be grateful as im very depended with those apps.... and people can seem to find me on time due to notification problem....
ps : there is no problem with GSM phone call and message.
Do you have a data plan? By default, WiFi turns off while the screen is off and the phone unplugged, so if you rely on WiFi for data then you won't get notifications until the phone is woken up, plugged in, or you change the WiFi settings.
Guys! SOLVED IT.
Push notifications doesnt work, because (I am almost 100% sure) all of you use Wifi connection only without SIM mobile data usage allowed. I think some guys thought at Microsoft that their phones will be used only with mobile internet packages or at places where there is always signal (sorry norwegians...). Friend of mine has a data package of a random size and she did not turn off data usage on the go, so she had always had the skype, viber calls and notifications at the moment they had been sent - also never understood my problem...
Solution: on Win 8.1 Lumia 532 go to Settings>Lock Screen, where you will see five apps to have rights to show detailed status when the screen is off. Select Skype, Viber, Whatsapp, whatever IM application, and you will be ringed once someone tries to call you via video or voice.
Tested on 532, gonna test it on wife's 550 after my shift.
Solution #2 (if you are not it the remote northern norwegian mountain region): buy at least the smallest monthly data package, when you run out the Mbs, the operator still gives you a small bandwidth that will enable you to get push notifications and also make calls when in WiFi area.
Peace!
I use a special application (Blackberry Enterprise Server) on Android and I've had problems with disconnects.
The application opens a VPN back to the network to push email and notifications to the phone. The whole idea of this application is security (VPN) and always on for notifications, email, calendar etc.
So on Marshmallow the app disconnects after an hour or so (closes down the VPN) and won't receive anything until you wake the phone back up again. Totally broken as far as I'm concerned. Happens on my S6 Active and a Blackberry Priv. BB Support sheepishly admits that its a problem and says their workaround is to keep the phone plugged into a charger and the VPN won't disconnect. Total crap!!! They also told me the problem would be fixed on Nougat which would allow them to get to the app and disable the power saving feature for that app which is causing it to disconnect. OK, some hope.
In the meantime I find this app in the play store called "disable doze" and put it on my BB Priv. It stops doze from kicking in and shutting down the VPN. On the priv it actually works. Now my VPN stays connected all the time like it should. I'm ecstatic! I try it on my S6A and it doesn't work. Still getting the VPN disconnected. Bummed because I really like the S6A and want to use that as my DD.
So I come here to XDA and see the NOUGAT beta for S6A and get all excited. I flash it to my phone and set up BB Software. Now I find that the wifi shuts down after 5 minutes on Nougat. I read tons of threads about wifi turning off after 5 minutes disregarding the "always keep wifi on" setting in nougat. So far no way that I can see to get wifi to stay connected.
WTF!!! I totally understand all the power saving stuff to extend battery life, but they put provisions in there to allow those who need to be able to disable. WHY ISN'T IT WORKING? Is this related to the S6A or is it across all hardware? I don't have anything else on Nougat to test.
Any ideas on what else I could try. Love that S6A but if it's not going to stay connected I just can't use it.
Roveer
Nougats in beta right now for the S6A, this isn't official firmware.
I understand its beta, but flaw like this always seem to find their way into the final builds. I'm reading threads all over the place (not just S6A) about this issue so I don't think it's just a beta thing. I'm not sure I understand why if there is a setting in the wifi to keep it on _always_ including sleep / doze etc that it basically does NOT do that.
