Push Notifications rarely/never work.

I have tried nearly everything to get push notifications working but can't get them to work, everything is turned on for notifications. The weird thing is if I go to my friends house for a few hours and them come back and connect to my wifi push notifications will work for a little while then continue to work. I am on iOS5 and have been through several filmwares and no push notifications have worked.

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.

    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

    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

  • With my i phone 4 , the Push notifications doesn't work for apps like (fb viber , whatsapp etc ) it only works for the official apps like message  even when im using the phone, has  this probleme with the iOs 6.0.1 and also with the iOs 6.1

    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.

  • HT4246 I am unable to activate my facetime and my push notifications will not work. I have reset all of my settings and will not do it again. This has been an ongoing issue that I am very irritated with.

    Need help making my push notifications and facetime work.

    Contact AT&T. Make sure your account is provisioned properly for an iPhone (use those words... otherwise all they will do is look to see what you're paying for, which is not the same thing).
    It should work just fine so long as you're not trying to use a go-Phone SIM.

  • 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

    Why would this all of a sudden stop working?
