IPad 2 push notifications don't work on home wifi network

I have a new iPad 2 and I'm trying to use imo.im for instant messaging. however, in most cases, I do not get push notifications for new messages at all, and when they do appear, they are delayed by several minutes. I installed the push test app and am getting the same results. Usually, it will work for a couple minutes if I turn off the wifi and re-enable it on the iPad, but then it stops working again.
I have changed the dns servers on both the ipad and my router to use google's servers, but that still doesn't fix it. Push notifications do seem to work on other wifi networks, so it seems like it's something with my router, but I can't figure out what it is.
Thanks!

I'd like to add one more data point. I tried the exact same tests on my iPhone 4, but did not get the exact same results. First of all, all push notifications work fine on my iPhone using 3G. When I connected to my home wifi network where I experience the problem with my iPad, push notifications worked, but were slightly delayed compared to the 3G connection.
So it seems like the problem is on the iPad when it's connected to this specific network. Also, after using it more, the push notifications seem to come and go randomly, so it's hard to predict when they will stop working.

  • New Ipad mini will not connect automatically to home WiFi network

    I use a range of Apple devices at home, IPhone 4, MacBook Pro and IMAC.
    They all see and connect automatically to my WiFi home network. I never experienced any difficulty with my DLINK router.
    I have received a couple of days ago my new Ipad mini (Wifi+ cellullar), running IOS 602, but not equipped with a SIM card.
    The device never connects automatically to the home WiFi network.
    I need to open the Settings app, chose the WiFi submenu and select manually my "dlink" network. Then only can I work with my network.
    I need to perform this each time I leave my home or I restart the device.
    As I am experienced with Apple devices I noticed this behaviour right away and can confirm that the settings on the Ipad mini are the same as the ones of the IPhone 4. I am certain that this is a bug.
    Any suggestion to overcome this major frustration?
    Patrick

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • IOS 8 push notifications don't work

    Hi everyone,
    I'm using an iPhone 5s and updated to iOS 8 last Sunday. Since I installed it, I experience a total loss of push notifications from third party apps (e.g. WhatsApp, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, GMX Mail, wetter.com, Tagesschau and so on). I'm using the phone on Vodafone's German network.
    Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem without a complete reset. I've found some possible solutions by they only apply to iOS 7.
    Thanks a lot in advance!
    Simon

    More than likely a problem with the FB app not fully compatible with the new update.   I would let the app developer know of your problem and see if they can resolve it.

  • In my iPad 2 sound notifications don't work anymore

    In my iPad 2 sound notifications don't work anymore

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • Push notifications doesn't work for apps like (fb viber , whatsapp etc ) iOs 6.1

  • Push notifications WhatsApp not work.

    Push notifications WhatsApp not work. I only receive them when I open the app. I've checked the settings on iOs and Whatsapp and all is ok. I've also updated to the latest versions. Can you help me?

    I actually did, and here is the answer I received:
    "When you are sent a message in WhatsApp, but are not online to receive it, WhatsApp will automatically send your message to the Apple Push Notification Service (APNS). This allows an alert containing the message to be displayed, even when WhatsApp is closed or your phone's display is off. Most often, all that is needed to resolve notification issues is to ensure that all notification settings are enabled. Review these FAQ pages for troubleshooting steps:
    Notifications Troubleshooting
    Connection Troubleshooting
    Sending your message to APNS typically takes only a few milliseconds. Once your message is sent to APNS, any delays or failure to deliver the message as a push notification to your device are usually caused by issues with your phone or network connection. Currently, all of our systems are operating normally.
    If you are using iOS 7, and are confident that you have all push notification settings enabled in WhatsApp and the iPhone Notification Center, then there is likely an issue with your phone that WhatsApp cannot resolve for you. In this case, I recommend the following steps:
    Backup your entire phone to iCloud.
    After the backup is complete, Erase all content and settings.
    Continue setting up your phone as a new device (do not restore from the iCloud backup).
    Install WhatsApp and verify that push notifications are working correctly (have someone send you a few test messages while your phone's display is turned off).
    Erase all content and settings and restore from the iCloud backup. "
    I tried to delete everything from my iPhone and then restore my data with the backup on my computer but it did not change anything, I still can't receive any notification, unless I open the application... However, I restored immediatly my backup cause I was afraid it wouldn't work after, but I don't really think it would change something to first start as a new device and then erase all content again and restore it.

  • Push notifications & iMessage not working

    Push notifications used to work for but once iMessage came out I haven't seen a single push notification and I've yet to get iMessage working.
    iMessage activates just fine and verified my phone number without problems but can never send or receive messages.
    I have the maximum texting & data plans with AT&T in California.
    I have a stock never-been-jailbroken iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1.
    Things I have attempted already:
    • I have upgraded to 5.0.1.
    • I've tried changing my Wifi DNS settings to google's DNS servers but that didn't change anything - and I need it to work on cellular.
    • I've reset my networks settings
    • I've restored my iPhone to factory settings and set it up as a new iPhone
    • I've restored my iPhone to factory settings and restored from a backup
    Has anyone found a fix for this? I am unable to parcicipate in any games or use work collaboration apps without push notifications, and the lack of iMessage is troubling.
    Note: I've worked for Apple as an engineer for 6 years and write iPhone apps for a living. This is broken on Apple's side.

    There are hundreds or people wih this exact same problem and apple has no interest in fixing it or publicly giving and answer to the issues. 
    They Botched this release big time.  I look forward to having tp wipe my 64gb iPad and start from scratch.  Oh boy do I!!

  • Push notifications are not working on current gen ipod touch

    Push notifications are not working on current gen ipod touch. I just got it a couple of weeks back. It is a refurbished model.
    It works fine on my iphone 4 flawlessly. I have compared the settings between the 2 and everything is similar. Not sure if there is anything specific that needs to be done for an ipod. Kindly advise.

    Yea...internet is working fine. tried everything. reset the network, turned off the notifications, rebooted and turned them on. Still not working.
    When I select auto settings, its asks for https url...what do i type in there?
    The most weird thing is that, it was working fine before the update :s

    I removed all active apps and restarted my iPod and still does not work.
    Fetch New Data is set to Push.
    I hear a lot of problems with this but is anything beiing done?
    Why would this all of a sudden stop working?

    This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.

  • Push Notifications Are Not Working

    I'm currently using an iPhone 4 (iOS 4.3.3) and push notifications have stopped working. The only app that seems to still be pushing is TextPlus. In my case Facebook, Scrabble, Gowalla and Twitter have all stopped working.
    Here is what I have already tried:
    Restored my iPhone
    General --> Reset --> Reset All Settings
    None of these things worked. Are there any suggestions that will definitively help fix this issue? I'm at a loss.
    Thanks

    I have the exact same problem you have? I can occasionally getpushnotification, but only once a day fore facebook. For twitter, I get nothing and newer got. Other programs never got any notification att all.Push notification is on both under notification center and therespective programs.I have iOS 5.0.1 on iPhone 4S.
